INTRODUCTION.
THE help afforded to an attentive reader of
Holy Scripture by the simple plan of ar-
ranging its unbroken text in paragraphs accommo-
dated to the sense, is by this time too well appre-
ciated to require, for adopting that method, either
apology or enlarged explanation. By discarding
the over-numerous and sometimes arbitrary breaks
at the end of each verse in our ordinar)' Bibles;
by banishing the numerals which indicate the
chapters and verses into the margin, where they
may be used for the purpose of reference ; by
broadly distinguishing the poetical books or por-
tions of books from those written in prose ; by
marking clearly to the eye the passages of the
Old Testament which are quoted in the New ; as
much aid will probably have been rendered to-
wards the right understanding of the Inspired
Volume as can be hoped for from the employment
of devices merely typographical.
But it is not mainly as a Paragraph Bible that
the interest of theological students is sought in
behalf of the present work, to the preparation of
which upwards of seven laborious years have been
willingly devoted. The S)'ndics of the Cambridge
University Press have considered that its special and
exceptional form presents a favourable opportunity
for supplying to scholars and divines their much-
felt want of a critical edition of the Authorized
Version of the Holy Bible, such as would have
been executed long ago, had this Version been
nothing more than the greatest and best kno^xm
of English Classics. And this design has been
rendered all the more necessary by the fact that
a formal revision of the Translation itself is now
in progress, having been undertaken about three
years ago under the auspices of the Convocation
of the Province of Canterbury. If a judgment
may be formed from previous experience in like
cases, the revised and unrevised Versions, when
the former shall be at length completed, are
destined to run together a race of generous and
friendly rivalry for the space of at least one gene-
ration, before the elder of the two shall be super-
seded in the affections of not a few devout persons,
who, in so grave a matter as the daily use of Holy
Scri])ture, shall prove slow to adopt changes which
yet they will not doubt to be made, on the whole,
for the better. With such a struggle before it, it
is only right that the Authorized or King James's
Bible should be represented, so far as may be, in
the precise shape that it would have assumed, if
its venerable Translators had shewn themselves
more exempt than they were from the failings in-
cident to human infirmity ; or if the same severe
accuracy, which is now demanded in carrying so
important a volume through the press, had been
deemed requisite or was at all usual in their age.
The purpose of this Introduction is to discuss,
within as moderate a compass as the subject will
permit, the principles which have been adopted in
editing the following pages, the reasons whereon
they are grounded, and the difliculties which have
been encountered in the prosecution of an arduous
but by no means a wearisome task. For the
reader's convenience it will be divided into seven
Sections, the chief contents of which are here sub-
joined.
Section I. On the history of the text of the
Authorized Version, from a.d. i6ii down to the
present time.
Section II. On its marginal notes; and on
the original texts, both Greek and Hebrew, em-
ployed by the Translators.
Section III. On the use of the Italic type by
the Translators, and on the extension of their prin-
ciples by subsequent editors.

INTRODUCTION.
[sect. I.
Section IV. On the system of punctuation
adopted in 1611, and modified in more recent
Bibles.
Section V. On the orthography, grammatical
peculiarities, and capital letters of the original, as
compared with modern editions.
Section VI. On the references to parallel texts
of Scripture which are set in the margin.
Section VII. Miscellaneous observations re-
lating to the present edition, and general Con-
clusion.
To the Introduction is annexed, besides
several other Appendices, a full Catalogue of the
places in which the text of modern Bibles differs
from that of the standard of 161 1, with the dates
at which the variations were severally adopted, so
far as by diligent care they have been ascertained.
Section I.
On the history of the text of the Authorized Version
of the English Bible, from a.d. 16 ii doivn to the
present time.
Most readers will be aware that numberless
and not inconsiderable departures from the original
or standard edition of the Authorized Translation
as published in 161 1, are to be found in the
modern Bibles which issue from the press by thou-
sands every year. Some of these differences must
be imputed to oversight and negligence, from which
no work of man can be entirely free; but much
the greater part of them are deliberate changes,
introduced silently and without authority by men
whose very names are often unknown. Now, if
such alterations had been made invariably for the
worse, it would have been easy in future editions
to recall the primitive readings, and utterly to re-
ject the later corruptions. This, however, is far
from being the case. Not a few of these variations,
especially those first met with in Cambridge folio
Bibles dated 1629 and 1638, which must have been
superintended with much critical care, amend mani-
fest faults of the original Translators or editors, so
that it would be most injudicious to remove them
from the place they have deservedly held in all our
copies for the last 240 years'. A full and, it may
1 On a question of so great importance as that of retain-
be hoped, a fairly complete list of these changes
is given in Appendix A at the end of this Intro-
duction, to which the student is referred once for
all : the attempt therein made to assign the period
at which they were severally admitted into the
text, although great pains have been bestowed
upon the investigation, must be regarded as some-
times only approximately successful. Other copies,
of an earlier date than that cited, may occasionally
have anticipated it in making the given correction ;
but these inaccuracies will hardly affect the general
results, or impair the conclusions to which they
lead. One class of variations has been advisedly
excluded from the Catalogue, as seeming rather
curious than instructive or important ; namely, that
arising from errors which, having crept into editions
later than that of 161 1, after holding a place in a
few or in many subsequent issues, have long since
disappeared from the Bibles now in use. Of this
kind is that notorious misprint in the Cambridge
folio of 1638, once falsely imputed to ecclesiastical
bias, "whom ye may appoint over this business"
("ye" for "we") Acts vi. 3 ; a blemish which
obstinately maintained its ground in some copies,
at least as late as 1682 ^ The several editions of
the Authorized Version which have been used in
the formation of our Catalogues and in our re-
ing changes for the better already made by previous editors
of the Authorized Version, it is safe to be fortified by the
judgment of so cautious and well-informed a writer as Dr
Card well: "There is only one case, perhaps, in which it
would become the duty of the privileged editor to enter into
questions of criticism, without some express authority to sup-
port him. If a given mistake of the Translators had already
been conected before his time, if the public opinion had
concurred, either avowedly or tacitly, in the change, he might
reasonably hope that the general acknowledgment of the
truth would relieve him from the obligation of returning into
error. I say nothing of the boldness which first made the
alteration ; I only commend the sound judgment which, after
it was generally adopted, did not hesitate to retain it" [Ox-
ford Bibles, 1833, p. 2, by Edward Cardwell, D.D., Principal
of S. Alban's Hall, Oxford).
" Hartwell Home, to whose Introduction all English stu-
dents of the Bible own more than they can ever duly acknow-
ledge, adds another instance of less importance (though he
does not quite know its true history), which shall serve
as a sufficient specimen of the whole ckass. In i Tim. iv. 16
for "the doctrine" of the books from 161 1 to 1630, we read
"thy doctrine" in 1619 (Camb.) to 1762. Blayney (1769)
restored "the," but Home has seen "thy" in Bibles of the
commencement of the present century. Iiitroduclioii, Vol. 11.

vision of the text are chiefly, though not exclusively,
the following.
(i) The standard or primar}' one published in
1611, "Imprinted at London by Robert Barker,
Printer to the Kings most Excellent Majestie."
Here, however, we are met on the threshold of our
researches by the perplexing fact that at least two
separate issues bear the date of that year, yet differ
from each other in so many minute particulars,
that we cannot help raising the question which is
the earlier or more authoritative, and consequently
the more suitable to be taken as the model to
which subsequent reprints ought to be accommo-
dated. On this subject, so interesting to students
of the English Bible, much light has recently been
thrown by Mr Fry of Bristol, whose materials will
be thankfully used by many that feel unable to
adopt his conclusions, and might desire a little more
scholarlike precision in the method of his investi-
gations'. The two chief issues of 16 11 may be
respectively represented by a folio now in the
British Museum (3050. g. 2), and another in the
same Library (3050. g. i) of which Mr Fry says in
a manuscript note "it is every leaf correct, and
may be taken as a standard copy of this issue."
There is yet a third class of books, bearing date
the same year, containing (some more, some less)
sheets of six leaves or twelve pages each, or occa-
sionally only two or four leaves of a sheet, which
appear to be reprints of portions of one or the
other of the aforenamed issues, the preliminary
matter being made up from the folio of 16 17 or
elsewhere, a circumstance which complicates the
question not a little, so that in what we have to
say it will be advisable to exclude all considera-
tions respecting these reprinted portions'. This

may be done the better, inasmuch as Mr Fry's
researches have discovered only six such leaves
in the Pentateuch, five in the Apocrypha, none in
the New Testament. These reprints are bound
up with and form a complete book with portions
of each issue in two other Bibles in the Museum
(1276. 1. 4 and 3050. g. 3) respectively. The textual
differences between the two original issues have
been diligently collected in Appendix B, pp. Ixxxvi.
— xc, from which only very manifest misprints of
both books have been excluded ; by a careful exa-
mination of which collation, in those portions where
there are no known reprints, the student can form
an independent judgment respecting the internal
character of each of them. In preparing the pre-
sent volume, a Bible belonging to the Syndics of
the Cambridge University Press (A. 3. 14, wanting
sheet A of Title-page, Dedication and part of the
Translators' Preface) has been substituted for the
Museum book 3050. g. 2, and for 3050. g. i the Ox-
ford reprint of 1833, as being a well-known pub-
lication which exactly resembles it in all places
consulted, and was itself taken verbatim, with un-
usual care for insuring accuracy, from a Bible in
the Library of the Delegates of the Oxford Uni-
versity Press at that time in actual use. Copies of
both issues or recensions of 161 1 survive in great
numbers in private as well as in public hands, since
when the Translation was completed every Church
had to be furnished with at least one without delay.
Fifteen copies of that which it followed, twelve
of the other, are enumerated in the Advertisement
which preceded the publication of the Oxford
reprint (dated Jan. 14, 1834), and Mr Fry has seen
at least seventy, although he seldom gives us in-
formation as to where they are severally located^.
The question which of the two recensions is
Banich iii. i — iv. 28; Song, ver. 20 — Hist. Susanna, ver. 15.
In all 244 leaves (but not so many in any one copy), distin-
guished by the comparison of B. M. 3050. g. 2 with 44 other
copies, in respect to initial letters and minute typographi-
cal variations (Fry, Table 2).
^ Besides those named above the Editor has examined
(not to mention some in private hands) resembling Camb.
Synd. A. 3. 14, S. John's Coll. Cambridge (T. 2. 24); King's
Collie (53); Jesus Coll. Cambridge (A. 7. 7 with ihe false
date of 1613 on the title-page of the O. T.); resembling the
Oxford reprint, Brit. Mus. (466. i. 6); Cambridge University
Library, I. 15; 16; Emmanuel College (B. i. 23), and the

INTRODUCTION.
[SECT. I.
the earlier must be decided partly by external,
partly by internal considerations. The latter will
speak for themselves, and it may be taken for
granted that no one will doubt the great supe-
riority on the whole of the text of the Oxford
reprint to the other, or hesitate to mark in it many
designed improvements and corrections which be-
tray a later hand (Appendix B ii. pp. Ixxxviii. — xc),
while the instances in which the Syndics' book is
superior or not inferior to the other (App. B i. pp.
Ixxxvi., Ixxxvii.) are scanty, slight, and incapable of
suggesting the converse inference'. Both contain
innumerable errors of the press, some peculiar to
a single issue", not a few (including nearly all the
false textual references in the margin, see Sect. vr.
p. Ivi.) common to both. It is useful to remem-
ber one characteristic erratum of each, which will
enable us to determine at a glance to which recen-
sion a particular volume in our hands belongs.
The Syndics' copy and its fellows have "Judas" in-
stead of "Jesus" in Matt. xxvi. 36; the Oxford
reprint and its associates read twice over the follow-
ing words in Ex. xiv. 10 "the children of Israel
lift up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians march-
ed after them, and they were sore afraid : and "
the printer's eye wandering back from the second
"the children of Israel" in the verse, to the firsts
Yet in spite of this portentous blunder, the recen-
sion which contains it is decidedly the more cor-
rect of the two, and irresistibly forces on the mind
of any one that has minutely studied both, that
whether we regard emendations of the sense or
' A few instances are as good as a thousand, if only they
be unequivocal. We would press Ezek. xliv. 29, where what
we call the first issue treats the final mem as if it were double ;
Amos vi. 7, where the second issue corrects the wrong num-
ber of the first ; but i Mace. x. 47 seems conclusive, where
our second issue, deeming "true peace" too strong a ren-
dering of \lr^uv elpriviKuv, banished " II True" into the margin.
There are no reprints in these leaves. It is fair to add two
instances (App. B, p. Ixxxvii.) we have found tending to an op-
posite conclusion, in the false arrangement of the margins of
Wisd. iii. 14 ; Mark vii. 4, in the Oxford reprint. But the ge-
neral drift of the internal evidence sets strongly the other way.
- In compiling a list of errata in the Syndics' copy (A. 3.
14) much aid was given by the corrections made in that book
by Gilbert Buchanan, LL.D., of Woodmansteme, Surrey, in
the winter of 1813 — 4, when engaged in revising for the
King's Printer his quarto edition of 1806.
'■' It deserves notice that this could easily be done if the
type were set ^lp from the Syndics' copy, where " the chil-
dren of Israel " begins a line in both parts of the verse.
comparative exemption from typographical over-
sights, it had undergone revision, fitful and super-
ficial perhaps, but not the less real on that account.
Hence it is not quite reasonable, in answer to the
enquiry "Which of the two issues was first print-
ed?" to say with Mr Fry, " I do not think that any
evidence on this point can be adduced, from the
existence of an error in one, and the absence of it
in another copy" (A Description, &c. p. 23). Not
certainly from noting a single error or from noting
twenty, for such an argument is cumulative in its
weight, and can only be appreciated by patient
enquirers : but if, out of two books substantially
the same, one shall prove on examination more
free than the other from mechanical imperfections
and printers' errata, and at the same time full of
small yet unequivocal corrections whether of the
style or the matter of the performance, we cannot
doubt that, in the absence of any considerable
proof to the contrary, the common consent of man-
kind would pronounce that the better executed
volume must needs be the later of the two.
And what considerable proof to the contrary
has Mr Fry been able to allege ? Direct evidence
on the subject there is none, for never was a great
enterprise like the production of our Authorized
Version carried out, with less knowledge handed
down to posterity of the labourers, their method
and order of working. There still remains the
bibliographical branch of this investigation, and
this will demand some attention. The first point
we take up makes little in favour of Mr Fry's view
of the priority of that issue which the Oxford
reprint follows with such faithful exactness. All
copies of the other issue which have a title-page
at all, exhibit a respectable and elaborate woodcut
(repeated before the New Testament with the neces-
sary change in the printed words) that had often done
duty before, notably in the Bishops' Bible of 1602.
It represents the four Evangelists with their pro-
per emblems at the top and bottom of the cut, the
tents and armorial bearings of the twelve tribes on
the left of the letter-press, the twelve Apostles on
the right of it, the Paschal Lamb slain on the altar
beneath it, the Lamb Triumphant under the In-
communicable Name surmounting all. But in many
copies of the recension to which the Oxford re-
print belongs the title-page is of a totally different
character. It is a very elegant copper-plate en-

gra\-ing, of whose refined beauty Mr Fry's repro-
duction on stone (Plate 34) gives but a poor idea.
Here Moses stands cornntiis on the left of the
letter-press title, Aaron on the right, the Apostles
and Evangelists above and below in attitude and
form cjuite different from the conventional manner
of artists ; above, the Incommunicable Name, the
Dove, the Lamb Triumphant ; below, the Pelican
and het young ; at the foot of this masterpiece the
subscription C. Bod fecit in Richnwnt, Cornelius
Boel of Antwerp then working at Richmond in
Surrey. Now the point to be noted is this. It is
admitted by Mr Fry and by every one else that
in no copy of what he calls the second issue is
there an engraved title, whereas some copies of
his first issue have the engraved plate, others the
woodcut, a few possibly, though not certainly,
both, prefixed to the Old Testament. The in-
ference seems a natural one that Boel's plate not
being ready when the earliest copies of our Au-
thorized Version were published, the old woodcut
was made to serve in its place for a while, and that
those copies of Mr Fry's first and our second issue
which contain Boel's copper-plate, are in all pro-
bability the latest of any. If there be any more
simple solution of the matter, it would be well to
state it.
But that which is most dwelt upon by such as
would invert what internal evidence points out as
the true order of the two issues insist on facts
relative to the reprinted leaves which Mr Fry has
demonstrated with great pains and ingenuity. Out
of 25 copies of his first issue which he e.xamined,
23 were leaf for leaf alike, agreeing entirely with
each other : in one copy two leaves, in another
six, were of the rival issue. Forty-five copies of
this latter issue were then collated, of which the
large number of 41 were found to vary from each
other in some of the reprinted leaves supplied (see
p. xi. note 2), and only two pairs were entirely iden-
tical. " I have now shewn" he proceeds to sum
up "from the actual comparison of a very large
number of the Bibles of 16 11, as many as seventy,
that one issue is unmixed (with the exception of
eight leaves in two copies out of 25 examined),
and that the other issue is made up in a very re-
markable manner, not only with reprints, but that
it is often mixed with the other issue, with the pre-
liminary leaves of 1613, 1617, and 1634. Is not
this conclusive evidence that the Bibles No. i and
No. 2 before alluded to' are respectively of the
ist issue and of the 2nd issue"" {Description, &c.
p. 25)? Certainly not, if we understand what is
meant by conclusive ei'idence. The facts established
by Mr Fry (and we can confirm many of them
from our own experience) are sufficient to raise a
strong presumption that not very rnany copies of the
earliest printed issue were bound up at once and
sent out to Parish Churches, for which reservation
their shameful inaccuracy will abundantly account :
after the great and immediate demand was satisfied
by that better edition which the Oxford reprint
exhibits, and after the Translators were dispersed
and had ceased to have any control over their
work, the printer seems to have gradually put forth
the unused sheets that had been first printed and
deliberately laid aside, supplemented by reprinted
leaves and other portions of later books.
"Why these 244 leaves were required to be
printed a second time we can only conjecture" {ibid.
p. 24). In truth the difficulty presses equally upon
every possible hypothesis that can be maintained.
The only real information available which bears
even remotely on the matter is Dr Anthony ^Valker s
Life of John Bois° [1560 — 1643], who was a
^ As usual, Mr Fry does not indicate what and where are
the copies he used. He only says just before, " I placed my
two best copies side by side, the one with the error of three
lines in Ex. xiv. 10, the No. i copy..., and the other with
the verse correctly printed, No. 2 copy... (p. 22)," which is
v.igue enough. He tries also to make something of "the
obvious difference in the condition of the rules with which
the black lines [inclosing the letter-press] are printed. In
No. I they are straight and generally true at the corners ; in
the 2nd Issue they are not so \.n\e, and are more open, shew-
ing the effect of use" (p. 25). The difference will not appear
so great to every one who inspects these early Bibles ; from
the original leaves supplied at the end of the Syndics' copy
of his Qvn\ book, and from comparing various parts <Jf Brit.
Mus. 3050. g. 1 and g. 2, quite an opposite conclusion might
be drawn : but if ever so great, it would only prove that the
lines were repaired for a new issue. It is even doubtful, on
close inspection, whether the same lines were used for both.
' "Because those Bibles which were printed and bound
up before the 2nd Issue was printed (and no doubt there were
such) could have leaves of no other Issue or edition inserted"
(p. 22). This consideration he calls "almost absolute proof"
of his opinion. It shews, of course, that his theory is self-
consistent, but nothing more.

member first of the fourth, afterwards of the second
Company. Of him we are told
"Four years he spent in this sen-ice', at the end thereof
(the whole work being finished, and three copies of the whole
Bible being sent to London, one from Cambridge, a second
from Oxford, and a tliird from Westminster), a new choice
was to be made of six in all, two out of each company, to
review the whole work, and extract one out of all the three,
to be committed to the press. For the despatch of this busi-
ness Mr Downes^ and he, out of the Cambridge company^,
were sent for up to London, where meeting their four fellow-
labourers, they went daily to Stationers' Hall, and in three
quarters of a year fulfilled their task. Whilst they were em-
ployed in this last business, he, and he only, took notes of
their proceedings, which he diligently kept to his dying day."
Could these notes be recovered'', they would
solve, not only the problem discussed by Mr Fry,
but many other questions of great interest. If Dr
Walker can be trusted, it would seem that every
part of each Company's task had in some fashion
been revised by each of the rest, a statement which
neither the time employed, nor the results obtained,
render very likely (see Sect. vii. p. Ixiii.). At all
events it is clear, unless we reject his evidence
altogether, that the printing, so far as the Transla-
derived his materials from one of the Baker papers, which
John Lewis also cites in 1739. ''"''^ '^° manuscript authori-
ties are independent, each preserving passages not found in
the other. Both contain incidental statements, hitherto un-
noticed, which might lead to the supposition that the different
Translators took to themselves separate books (Harl. pp.
104, 105), as was really the case with the Bishops' Bible.
' So that we need not take literally the " twice seven
times seventy-two days and more ;" about two years and nine
months, as Westcott notes (General Vie^v of History of
English Bible, p. 1 54), which TAe Translators to the Reader
speak of (infra, p. cxvi.). Elsewhere Anthony Walker says
of Bois's labours, " Five years were spent in the Translation,
which makes no noise, because it carries no name " (Peck, ubi
supra, p. 53).
^ " Though Mr Downes would not go, till he vi'as either
fetcht or threatened with a Pursuivant." Walker in Peck.
The Harleian copy docs not mention this story, so character-
istic of the times.
^ So that "two out of each company," mentioned just
befoi'e, must mean two out of e.z.Q\\ place ; and the final Com-
mittee consisted of six persons, not of twelve, as was stated
at the Synod of Dort (1618). Compare, however, Anderson,
Annals of the English Bible (1845), Vol. 11. pp. 381, 2.
^ Harl. 7053 contains John Bois's will (1643), wherein he
bequeaths his books and papers, on which he set great store,
to his daughter, Anne Bois, "to her best use and commo-
dity," and requests his curate, John Ivillingworth, to be
"aiding and helpful in the disposing" of the same. They
were no doubt sold, and may yet be found in some private
collection.
tors superintended it at all, must have begun and
ended within the short period of nine months,
which seems wholly inadequate for the accomplish-
ing of all they had in hand.
Although we have not been able to resist the
pressure of the internal evidence which assures us
that the issue represented by Synd. A. 3. 14 is the
earlier of the two, yet the influence of our error
(if any shall still judge it to be an error) upon the
text of the present volume is infinitesimally small.
It is strictly confined within the limits indicated
in Appendix B, § i, the great majority of which
variations are either purely indifferent, or would
have been received on their own merits, without
reference to the prior claims of the copy that con-
tains them.
Respecting Appendix C, wherein are registered
the joint readings of the two issues of 1611 which
in later times have been displaced but are now
restored, not a few of them are quite insignificant
in themselves, but are re-established as a matter of
right, and as a kind of protest against the unne-
cessary, the almost wanton changes, in which cer-
tain editors of the Bible have been pleased to
indulge. Examples of this kind will be seen in
Judg. xix. 29 ; I Sam. xx. 5 ; 2 Sam. vii. 7 marg.;
1 Kin. XV. 27 ; xvi. 19 ; 2 Kin. viii. 19 ; Isai. vi. 8 ;
Hos. xiii. 3; I Esdr. viii. 75; 2 Esdr. xv. 22;
2 Mace. viii. 33 ; Luke xix. 13 inarg.^
We now proceed to describe the principal edi-
tions of the Authorized Bible which have appeared
since 16 11, especially those which seem to have
been prepared with some degree of care, or have
largely influenced the te.xt of succeeding impres-
sions.

of the New Testament of i6n in Bagster's Hexapla, 1841
cannot be implicitly relied upon. There are two issues of
the book, with two several Introductions, and the stereotyped
plates bear marks of alterations in what seems the later (Matt.
xiii. 45). Thus, for example, in John viii. 4 "said" suits
neither form of the Bible of 161 1: sometimes the text follows
our first issue, as in Matt. xiii. 4, 31, 45; xviii. 30; xxii. 24;

INTRODUCTION.
Trinity College, Cambridge (A. 8. 51), is beautifully
printed in a small dear Roman type in octavo, the
woodcut of the first issue of 161 1 (above, p. xii.)
being reproduced in a reduced size. On examining
the collation we have made of this the earliest
reprint of the Authorized Version (Appendices A,
B, C below), it may be considered to depart but
seldom from the issue represented by the Oxford
reprint, except to correct some grave mistake (e.g.
Mark vii. 4 marg.). In such a case it is usually
followed by the edition of 16 16, also printed in
Roman type, but rarely influences the black-letter
Bibles of 1613 or 1617. In i Kin. iii. 4; i Esdr.
viii. 39; Rev. xx. 13 marg. this edition stands
alone. The following are examples of improve-
ments brought into it, which immediate successors
have overlooked: Ps. xcix. 2; 2 Esdr. ii. 7 fmirg.;
Judith xvi. 24; I Mace. v. 9; Matt. v. 22; Acts
xiii. 19; I Cor. vii. 32; 2 Cor. v. 20. We have
rejected the grammatical corrections in Dan. v. 31;
John xi. 18 marg.
(3) The Holy Bible of 16 13 is more generally
known from a collation of the smaller black-letter
folio copy of it in the University Press at Oxford
with the Oxford reprint of the book of 16 ii, an-
nexed to that very useful publication'. This book
is readily distinguished from both issues of 161 1,
inasmuch as it contains 72 lines of smaller t)-pe in
a column, to their 59^ It is plain that no formal
revision of the text, italics, or margin, was attempted
thus early. Out of the 412 variations which the
collation records, just 70 arise from the following
of the Syndics' copy (A. 3. 14) in preference to the
other issue, but this includes corrections of some 20
' We have used for our own purpose a copy in the Syn-
dics' Library, Cambridge (A. 3. 13). To the variations re-
corded in the 0.\ford reprint we have been able to add in
passing Ruth iii. 15 "she went" Synd. (A. 3. 14), 1613, "he
went" Oxon.; Ps. Ixxviii. 60 marg. "i Sam." Synd. (a re-
print), 1613, "i King." 0.xon.; Jer. xl. i "llchains" 1613,
"llcaptaine" Oxon.; Ezek. xvi. 16 "Of thy garments"
1613, "And of thy garments" Oxon.; Wisd. ix. 15 "earth-
ly" 1613, "earthy" Oxon.; 2 Cor. iii. 3 "fleshly" 1613,
"fleshy" Oxon. In Josh. xii. 11 ; 2 Sam. xvii. 25; Neh. xi.
Umarg.; i Esdr. v. ^omarg.; Judith iii. 5 — vii. 16 (Olofer-
nes), Proper names are differently spelt, but the Oxford col-
lation does not profess to include these.
* A few copies of what we regard as the first issue of 161 r
are said to bear on the Old Testament title-page, but not on
the New, a genuine date of 161 3: that being no doubt the
year they were bound up. There was at that time no induce-
ment to antedate falsely, but rather the contrary.
evident misprints of the Oxford reprint issue. In
about four places (Ezra iii. 5; Ezek. -x.xiv. 7; i Mace,
iv. 29; 2 Thess. ii. 15) we find manifest improve-
ments on the standard editions: in Dan. ix. 12 the
reading of the Hebrew margin or kcri is adopted
("word") against the other books: nearly all the
other variations arise from the glaring misprints of
this handsome but inaccurate volume. Such are
the omissions of whole clauses by reason of their
having the same beginning or ending as those
immediately preceding (1 Kin. iii. 15; Matt. xiii. 8;
xvi. 1 1 ; John xx. 25), and two whole verses, Ecclus.
xvi. 13, 14, putting "delighted" for "defiled" Ezek.
.x.xiii. 7, the leaving out of "not" in 2 Tim. iv. 16,
and other errors almost as gross. That this book
was set up from our first issue appears likely, as
well from many other resemblances to be seen in
AppendLx B, as from the printer's mistaking "y"'
in that book for " the" in Acts xxi. 38. The other
issue has "that Egyptian" in fulP.
The next two books were used at Tregothnan
(R. 4 and R. 7), by the kind permission of their
owner, Viscount Falmouth.
(4) The Holy Bible in small folio Roman
type 1616; with the Prayer Book and Genealogies,
!Map, &c. prefixed, the metrical Psalms with musi-
cal notes (dated 161 2) and Private Prayers at the
end, with their first leaf lost. This seems a some-
what rare book, not particularly intended for Church
reading, is beautifully printed, and in a very perfect
state. It appears to be the first edition of the
Authorized Version which was submitted to any
considerable revision. Its value ^\•ill be seen from
the study of Appendices A and B, and it should
be remarked all along, that improvements brought
in from time to time in Bibles of the Roman type
seem to have had very slight influence with the
printers of the black-letter books of 161 7, 1634,
1640, who continued to set tlie press from one or
the other of the issues of 161 1, almost regardless
of subsequent changes for the better. Some of
the corrections of 16 16 were received into the great
folio of 16 1 7, but the following, among others, were
overlooked : Gen. xxii. 7 ; 2 Sam. xxiii. 20 ; i Kin.
XX. 3; I Chr. i. 5, 47 ; vii. 13 ; .xxvi. 5 ; xxvii. 33 ;
' Other copies, by no means rare, are from S. Luke's
Chapel, in the Precinct, Norwich (bought 1618), now in the

frontispiece, and an inserted title-page of 161 1.

(5) The Holy Bible, large folio, black letter,
161 7, a much more pretentious but less valuable
edition'. As its leaves have got much mixed with
those of the other folios, especially of our first issue
of 161 1, it is proper to apply Mr Fry's tests before
using any copy {A Descriptmi, &c. plates 46, 47),
so far as for critical purposes it is worth using at
all. The large paper copies may be expected to
be pure for obvious reasons. The Tregothnan
book does not answer Fry's tests in three leaves
up to Ps. xxii." Among its few original corrections
are Mai. iv. 2; 2 Tim. ii. 19. The Bible of 1617,
like that of 16 13, usually abides by the issue of
1611, represented by our Synd. A. 3. 14, while that
of 16 16 follows the Oxford reprint standard, even
in such obvious errors as in Hos. vi. 5.
The public demand must have been satisfied
with these several editions, especially of the large
size, which were published so near each other.
Some years elapsed before the appearance of other
chief Bibles, whereof three several pairs can most
conveniently be discussed according to their rela-
tion to each other, rather than in the chronological
order, — the two of 1629, those of 1630, 1634, 1638,
1640.
(6) The Holy Bible, small quarto, 1629 "Im-
printed at London by Bonham Norton and John
Bill Printers to the King's most Excellent Ma-
jestie."
(7) The Holy Bible, also small quarto, 1630
" Imprinted at London by Robert Barker^ Printer
to the King's most Excellent Majestic: and by the
Assignes of John Bill. "
These two books are of the same size, have
' Other copies are numerous : e.g. Brit. Mus. (1272. h. 4)
and (3052. b) ; a copy given by "Thomas Hobson, Carrier
of Cambridge, to Benet Parish;" Trin. Coll. Cambridge
(A. 12. 34), large paper, very fine; S.John's Coll. Camb.
(T. 6. 26); Caius Coll. (H. o. 26).
' They are Xx 3 (Neh. vii. 11 — viii. 9), which is taken
from our first issue; Zz (Job i. 17 — iv. 16) and Ccc 2 (Ps. xi.\.
a — xxii. 31), whence derived his list fails to shew.
the same title-page, though different tail-pieces at
the end of the Prophets, correspond with each
other page for page, line for line, with the closest
exactness, even to the peculiar shape of the letters
used in the same places (compare, however. Num.
xxii. 31 ; Ezek. xx. 37 marg.; Dan. viii. 18 viarg.),
so that the type from which the two were printed
off was clearly set up but once. The volume of
1629 however is printed on much worse paper,
and does not contain the Apocrypha^, although
APO- still remains, as in its fellow, below the tail-
piece at the end of Malachi. At the end are the
metrical Psalms with musical notes, and the date
of 1630. It would never be suspected, prior to
actual trial, that the text in these two books is
not absolutely identical. Yet an inspection of
Appendices A, B, C will shew that this is the
case: e.g. Gen. xlvi. 12 ; xlvii. 18; Lev. xviii. 30;
XXV. 5 marg.; Num. v. 20; i Kin. xviii. 28; xx. 3;
I Chr. i. 38; vii. 27; .xxiv. 11; 2 Chr. xxvi. 18;
Esther viii. 5 7na/-g. [devised 1630, for the device) ;
Ps. xxiv. 10; Jer. .xl. i; Ezek. i. 2; xvi. 59; xxxvi.
2; Dan. V. 4 (dranke 1629, drunke 1630 afteri6ii);
Rom. X. 21 ; xvi. 10; 2 Cor. vii. 3 (yee are 1629,
you are 1630 after 1611); i.\. 4 (haply 1629, happily
1630 after 1611); Gal. i. 6 (removen 1629); Eph.
vi. 21, 24; I Thess. i. 9 ; i Pet. v. 12. Instances
such as these help to justify Mr Fry's assertion,
which to an inexperienced reader might seem some-
what unlikely : " The absence of a particular error
in one copy, is no proof that it is of a different
edition from the one with the error ; for I have
observed many errors in one copy corrected in
another of the same edition, in other Bibles than
those here described" {A Description, &c. p. 23),
meaning those of 161 1 and their near contempo-
raries. The Bible of 1630 has some readings that
appear peculiar to itself, e.g. i Mace. x. 20 " re-
quire of thee"; xii. S3 J'"- "them" for "men."
Thus far the reprinting of the Authorized Ver-
sion had been entirely in the hands of the King's
Printers. They had made changes in the text,
slight indeed and far from numerous, yet enough
^ Thus early began the practice of leaving out the Apo-
crypha. It was hardening into fixed habit when Selden said,
" The Apocrj'pha is bound with the Bibles of all churches
that have been hitherto. Why should we leave it out?"
( Ta/i/e Talk, p. 10.) The copies used are also in the Syndics'
Library, A. 5. 22 and 25.

to shew that they doubted not their competency to
make more if they had taken the trouble. The
itahc type and textual references in the margin
they left untouched, with all the obvious faults of
both uncorrected, only that occasionally a false
quotation was set right. The next stage of the
history of our Translation is more interesting, and
the Cambridge University printers, Thomas and
John Buck in 1629, Thomas Buck and Roger
Daniel in 1638, published two important folios
which have largely (and on the whole beneficially)
influenced our Bibles to this day.
(8) and (9)'. The first Cambridge editions of
the Holy Bible shall be considered together, inas-
much as that of 1629, which is the smaller of the
two, and has the Prayer Book prefixed to it, and
the metrical Psalms with musical notes bound up
at the end, inaugurated that course of systematic
revision of the text, of the italics, and of the
margin, which nine years aftenvards was more fully
and consistently carried out. It is not a little re-
markable, that the subject of the internal character
of our English Bible, as distinct from its external
history, had excited so little attention for the
space of two centuries, that the high merit of these
books has been understood only within the last forty
years. " For this beautiful edition," Lea Wilson
writes most truly of the elder of the two, " the text
appears to have undergone a complete revision,
although I can find no record of such having been
done by authority" {List of Bibles, &:c. 4to. 1845).
"So far as I can judge" says Bp. Turton of its
compeer of 1638 "the edition was carefully super-
intended" {Text of the English Bible consiiiered,
2nd edition, 1833, p. 35). As he becomes better
acquainted with it, his language grows more de-
cided, as well it might : " a revision of the text of
161 1-.. .it is now certain, was carried into eff"ect,
from the beginning of the Volume to the end, at
Cambridge, in 1638' (p. 126). "The revision in-
deed was a work of great labour" (p. 91), but he
always speaks of it as commenced and carried out
in the same volume. What Turton did not know,
but only regarded as possible, that it might "here-
after appear that an earUer revision had taken place"
' These editions are not at all rare. We have used for
the one of 1629, Camb. University Library, I. 14. 12, for that
of 1638, .Syndics' Library, A. 3. 8. The date of the latter is
on the title-page of the New Testament.
{ibid.), is a fact that no one will doubt as regards the
text who shall examine the contents of the subjoined
Appendices (pp. Ixviii. — Ixxxiii.; xci. — xcvii.). The
task seems to have been executed between the two
sets of editors in no unequal shares. What the one
left undone, by reason of haste or human oversight,
the others in a good measure supplied, by inserting
words or clauses, especially in the Old Testament,
overlooked by the editors of 161 1, by amending
manifest oversights, by rendering the italic notation
at once more self-consistent, and more agreeable to
the design of the original Translators (see Sect. iii.
p. xxxiii.). What persons wereconcemed in the edi-
tion of 1629, as Lea Wilson notices, we are wholly
ignorant, but if similarity of plan and spirit afford
us any ground for conjecture, one at least of them
must have had a share with others in preparing the
subsequent book of 1638, and these latter, as we
learn from a manuscript note in the Jesus College
copy, in the handwriting of Richard Sterne, Master
of the College, and Vice-Chancellor that selfsame
year, were Dr Goad of Hadley, Dr Ward, Mr
Boyse, and Mr Mead : men whose obscure dili-
gence in a grave and delicate work was doubtless
rewarded with honour more excellent than fame
can give or take away*.
With this pair of editions began the habit of
adding to the parallel textual references in the
margin : the Bible of 1638 admits also one or two
fresh marginal notes (i Mace. iv. 15 ; ix. 36). We
have seldom to hesitate about receiving their emen-
dations of the text (see Appendix C 2 Sam. xvi. 8 ;
Ps. cxix. 42 marg.), as in the case of some of their
successors : their corrections command our assent
by their simple truth. One of the changes intro-
duced in 1638 it would have been better to have
finally adopted, "and the truth" with the Greek
in John xiv. 6. The " and" held its place beyond
Blayney's revision of 1769, but has disappeared in
Bibles from D'Oyly and Mant (1817) downwards.
The following errata have been noticed in these

rected Cambridge Bible, revised Mandato Regio" whatever
that may mean {Dangerous Errors in several late Printed

In the matter of the italic type, to which much
attention is paid in these two Bibles, one or other
of them has led later copies wrong in the following
places :

The next pair comprises the black-letter folios
of the King's Printer, dated (10) 1634 [B. M. 1276.
1. 5. 1—2] and (11) 1640 [B. M. 1276. 1. 7]. The
former is much mixed with later issues of the books
of 1611 and 1617, and may be discriminated by
the use of Mr Fry's tests {A Description, &c. Plates
46, 47). The latter is at once detected by its use
of Roman letters instead of italics in the marginal
notes, nor does the type run quite line for line with
the earlier folios. Speaking generally, these books
contain none of the improvements found in the
1 Professor Grote {MS. p. 36) speaks of a small 4to.,
Cambridge, 1637, in Trinity College Library, "which has
none of the additions of Buck, 1638." From the specimen
Professor Lightfoot gives of its reading in i Cor. xii. 28 (On
a Fresh Rn'ision, &c. p. 129, note), it does appear to contain
the changes or improvements of Cambridge, 1629. Such is
the case also in Gen. xxxix. i ; Deut. xxvi. i ; Job iv. 6. The
valuable manuscript notes of the late Professor Grote, from
which we shall hereafter make several extracts, though
scarcely in a state suitable (or publication in full, were
obligingly placed at our disposal by his representatives, and
throw much light on the internal history of the printing of
the Authorized Bible.
two Cambridge editions, although a few changes
for the better may be met with here and there.
Thus the edition of 1634 anticipates the emenda-
tions of 1638 in I Chr. i. 20; John vii. 16 (Appen-
dix A): in Hagg. i. 12 it reads " Joshuah," in Rev.
xxi. 20 "sardonyx." In Ecclus. xxxv. 18; xhx. 4;
Acts iv. 17; vii. 10 (Appendix A) that of 1640, but
not the other, adopts the readings of 1629. A fuller
examination would no doubt bring to light some
more instances, equally insignificant.
The volume of 1640 proved to be the last of
the Bibles of its class, the Great Rebellion leaving
men neither inclination nor ineans for costly under-
takings of this nature. " You may well remember,"
writes William Kilburne in 1659, to the honour-
able and elect Christians whom he addresses, " the
zeal and care of the late Bishops (especially of
reverend and learned Doctor Usher) was such,
that for the omission in one impression of the
Negative word [not] in the seventh Commandment,
the Printer was fined ^2000 or ^^3000 in the late
King's time, as I have heard^ which happened
long before the late wars began: in which time,
through the absence of the King's Printers, and
cessation of Bible-printing at London, many erro-
neous English Bibles were printed in and imported
from Holland; which being diligently compared by
the late Assembly of Divines were reported to the
Parliament in 1643 to be corrupt and dangerous
to Religion" {Dangerous Errors, &c. p. 5). This
importation indeed was expressly prohibited by sta-
tute, without much good effect: " Moreover, during
the time of the late Parliament great numbers of
Bibles in a large 1 2° volume were imported from
Holland in 1656 with this false title {Imprinted at
London by Robert Barker, Anno 1638). ..being con-
trary to the several Acts of Parliament of 20° Sept.
1649 and 7 Janu. 1652 for regulating of Prifiting"
{ibid. p. 12). Kilburne furnishes a really painful
list of the inaccuracies of these foreign Bibles
{" thirty grand faults in part of Genesis, a hundred

No. 579), was published by the King's Printers, Robert
Barker and Martin Lucas, in 1632 : the real fine was ;^300, to
be expended on a fount of fair Greek type. It was inflicted by
Archbishop Laud (whom even on the eve of the Restoration
Kilburne does not care to name) in the High Commission
Court. The impression was of course called in, but a single
copy is said to survive in the Library at Wolfenbiittel.

in Isai. i. — xxvii."), but shews plainly that the pri-
vileged printers, Henry Hills and John Field, were
scarcely a whit more careful. They had, in truth,
to pay for their privilege a bribe of ^£^500 per
annum to certain men in power, " whose names,
out of respect to them, I forbear to mention" {ibid.
p. 14), and reimbursed themselves for that shame-
ful outlay by taking no measures for the due cor-
rection of the press. In their Bibles of 1653, 1655
(two editions), 1656 (two editions), and 1657
(thought to be the worst of all), Kilbume computes
that he discovered twenty thousand faults, some
(which he particularises) being intolerably gross.
On the other hand, he praises several editions in
8vo. and i2mo. issued "by Authority of Parlia-
ment" in 1646, 1648, 1 65 1, &c., by Wm. Bentley
of Finsbury, based upon the Cambridge folio
of 1638.
Of the Bibles published during the latter part
of the seventeenth century, that of Hills and Field,
small 8vo. London, 1660, is remarkable for certain
additions to the original marginal notes of 161 1,
subsequently improved upon in a Cambridge quarto
of 1682 — 3 (see Sect. 11. p. xxxi., and note i), bear-
ing the name of John Hayes, the University Printer,
who had previously put forth a well-known edition
in 1677. The later of Hayes's two contains a
great number of fresh textual references, the reputed
work of Dr Anthony Scattergood, and mostly taken
from his Bible, also published at Cambridge in
1678. But the most celebrated edition of the period
was that undertaken on the motion of Archbishop
Tenison, and at the alleged request of Convocation
in 1699, by the eminently learnetl William Lloyd
[1627 — 1717], successively Bishop of S. Asaph and
of Worcester, under whose superintendence ap-
peared

This splendid but somew'hat cumbersome book
is the first that contains the marginal dates (see
Sect. VII. p. Ixii.), and sundry marginal annotations
of doubtful merit, discussing chronological difficul-
ties and imparting other information (Sect. 11.
p. xxvi.). Annexed are Bp. Cumberland's Tables of
Scripture measures, weights, and coins (first pub-
lished in 1685), Tables of Kindred, Time, and

Offices and Conditions of men. The textual refer-
ences also are increased, but not very materially,
and in respect to punctuation many parentheses
were restored, which had been gradually removed
from the text (see Sect. iv. p. xli.). On the whole,
this hasty labour added little to the fame of the
veteran Lloyd, and in 1703 the Lower House of
Convocation made a formal Representation to the
Upper respecting the many errors it contains'.
Except in regard to the dates, no principal edition
has so little influenced succeeding Bibles as this,
notwithstanding the high auspices under which it
came forth.
It was doubtless through the care of Archbishop
Wake (who, though himself but a feeble writer,
had a genuine love of sacred letters) that persons
from whom so little could be expected as George I.
and his great minister, were induced to issue four
salutary Rules, dated April 24, 1724, to the King's
Printers", with a view to the more effectual removal
of misprints from their copies of the Authorized
Version. One of these rules strikes at what was
beyond question the root of the mischief in the evil
days of Hills and Field, and prescribes that those
employed on so grave a work should receive compe-
tent salaries for their pains and skill. In the middle
of the eighteenth century the Bibles of the Basketts,
at once the King's and Oxford University Printers,
earned a fair name both for the beauty of their
typography and their comparative freedom from
misprints. Their quarto of 1756 is particularly
commended, and will supply the student with a
knowledge of the exact state of our Bibles just
before the commencement of the kindred labours
of Paris and Blayney, which yet remain to be
described. In preparing the present volume we
have used another of their editions, in substance
almost identical with that of 1756.

New Testament: "London, Printed by Thomas
Baskett and Robert Baskdt, Printers to the King's

We now come to the last two considerable
efforts to improve and correct our ordinary editions
of Holy Scripture, made in 1762 by Dr Paris,
Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, and still
commemorated in the list of the Benefactors of the
College, and by Dr Blayney, whose labours were
published in 1769, both anonymously. The latter,
however, has left a very interesting account of his
work and the principles upon which it was executed
in a brief ReJ)ort to the Vice-Chancellor and Dele-
gates of the Clarendon Press, reprinted below as
Appendix D (pp. xcviii., xcix.), and well deserving
of attentive perusal. Dr Paris's name is not men-
tioned therein in such terms as might have been
expected from the liberal use made of his materials
by his successor : in fact his book is almost un-
known even to Biblical students, although it has
contributed more than that which appeared but
seven years later towards bringing the text, the
marginal annotations, the italics, and the textual
references of modern Bibles into their actual condi-
tion. The truth is that Paris's edition had no real
circulation, partly because it was so soon superseded
by Blayney's, chiefly by reason of a large portion of
the impression having been destroyed by fire in
Dod's the publisher's warehouse'.

It will be seen when we come to discuss the
italic type (Sect, m.) that the use of it was consider-
ably extended in these two Bibles, notably in the
later one, by a more full carrying out of the system

of the Translators than they would have probably
sanctioned themselves. The marginal annotations
also, which had been growing in some Bibles since
1660 but were excluded from others (see Sect. n. pp.
XXX., xxxi.), were finally received into the place they
have occupied ever since, sundry new notes being
added, the great majority in 1 762. Bp. Lloyd's dates
and chronological notices were also received and
added to at the same time, and the two editions con-
tributed largely, in about equal proportions, to swell
the catalogue of textual references to parallel passages
of Scripture. An inspection of our Appendices A
and C will shew how far each of them contributed
to amend or corrupt the Translators' text, and it
cannot be doubted that these two editors are the
great modernizers of the diction of the version, from
what it was left in the seventeenth century, to the
state wherein it appears in modern Bibles. Much
of tlie labour described in Sect. v. (pp. xlviii., xlix.,
&c.) has been rendered necessary for the undoing of
their tasteless and inconsistent meddling with ar-
chaic words and grammatical forms. On the whole,
Dr Paris, who has been kept so utterly out of sight,
performed his task with more diligence, exactness,
and moderation than his Oxford successor. Yet,
much as they left undone or did amiss, their edi-
tions of the Bible are monuments of genuine in-
dustry and pious zeal all the more conspicuous in
an age when shallow superciliousness was too often
made a substitute for generous criticism and scho-
lar-like precision : they might either of them have
cheered the heart of worthy Archbishop Seeker, on
whose suggestion Blayney's labours are believed to
have been undertaken. In point of typographical
correctness, as is already well known, the quarto
(and to a slightly less extent the scarce folio) of
1769 are conspicuously deficient: on one page of
the Apocrypha there are no less than three typo-
graphical errors (Esth. .\i. 2 " Nison ;" 8 " upon
earth" ("the" omitted); xii. 6 "the eunuchs"
("two" omitted), so that the commonly estimated
number of 1 1 6 such errata would seem below the
truth. In Rev. xviii. 22 occurs an omission of a
whole clause, for the same cause as was spoken of
in regard to the Bible of 1613: "And no craftsman,
of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more
in thee." Some of Blayney's needless changes are
in Ps. cxv. 3; cxli. 9; 2 Pet. i. 9 (jtv Appendix C):
certain of a better character occur in Prov. \i. 19

[danger]" of 1611, &c.; 2 Cor. iii. 3 "fleshy" of
161 1 restored, for "fleshly," which had held its
ground since 16 13. On the other hand, in Ezek.
xxiii. 4 (his own margin) His tent should have been
Her tent. In regard to italics, whereof at times he
is somewhat lavish, he rightly prints in Ps. xiii. 3
" the sleep (/death," instead of "-the sleep of death,"
as from 161 1 downwards; in i John iii. 16 '■^ of God"
is italicised for the first time: his oversights in this
matter will be noticed hereafter (p. xxii.). In the
Bible of 1762 also the following errors should be
noted: 2 Kin. x. 31 "for" instead of ''for' of
1611 — 1744; XXV. 4 "of war fled" for " of war
fled" of 161 1 — 1744; Ps. Ixix. 12 " I a'a'j-" for " /
was" 161 1 — 1744. The second and grossest is
amended in the American Bible 1867, otherwise
they remain untouched to this day.
The following list of errors which we have in-
cidentally detected in Dr Paris's edition of 1762
deserves the more notice, because they are nearly
all repeated by Blayney, as we have indicated by
adding the date 1769 within marks of parenthesis.
They occur oftenest in the marginal annotations
added in this pair of Bibles, and some of them can
be best accounted for by supposing that Blayney's
sheets were set up by Paris's, used as copy.

"diddest," a designed but needless correction, rejected by
1769, &c., as also is "///;Vyi- strangled," Acts xxi. 25, a cor-
rection of the same class. Blayney also refuses "be ye
warmed and be ir filled," James ii. 16 ("be you warmed and
filled," 161 1 — 1743), though he wrongly italicises the first
"ye," which he retains. In Gal. ii. 6 1762 recalls from the
Bible of 1683 the reading "those who," which had been
afterwards neglected for the inferior reading of 161 1, "these
who" (Grote HIS. p. 133). It was followed by Blayney and
others up to a very recent period (Bagster 1846, American
1867). Our model (Camb. 1858) falls back upon "these
who," which we do not disturb.
Some other emendations of Dr Paris are a little
too bold (e.g. Ps. cvii. 19, App. C), and one at
least of his marginal notes very questionable (Acts
vii. 45). His punctuation is often good: he was
the first to substitute a full stop and a moderate
space for the colon of 161 1, &c., at the great break
in Zech. xi. 7 " And I took unto me two staves."
For a specimen of his successor's merits in this
respect see Sect. iv. p. xlv. (2 Cor. v. 2).
It is now necessary to subjoin an incomplete
yet over-long list of the errors other than bare mis-
prints which have met us in habitually consulting
Blayney's quarto of 1769. We must not suppress
the notice of faults, some of which have led his
successors grievously wrong, through the vain fear
of detracting from the honour of a learned and
diligent student of Holy Writ. All accuracy is only
comparative, as every true scholar knows well; and
if we be at a loss to account for the unusual num-
ber of his oversights, we may fairly imjiute much
to the comparatively short time — between three* and
four years — spent by him in accomplishing, or at
least in attempting, the burdensome task which his
Report describes (Appendix D). The reader will
refer to Appendices A and C for further details.

Appendix A, p. Ixxxiii., note 2 ; Rev. xviii. 22 (see p. xx.).
In regard to the use of italic type Blayney's
edition is very careless, although he had evidently
taken soine pains about the subject. Some of his
errors are:

— 1762; Ezek. x. I "that was above" for "that 7uas above"
161 1 — 1762; Dan. viii. 3 (bis), 6, 20 "two horns," though
the noun is dual ; Hab. i. 10 "shall be a scom" for "shall

the seed" 1611 — 1762 ; Judith xiii. 14 "(I say)" 1611 — 1762,
which is the method in the Apocrypha of indicating what is
omitted in the Greek, he regards as parenthetical, and ac-
cordingly the marks ( ) are removed in 1769; Matt. xxii. 10
"highways" (or highways" (65oi>s) of 1638 — 1762; Luke xiv.

the italic type, some of them being very palpable,

the last two. Blayney is followed in the rest by the
whole flock of moderns, without enquiry and with-
out suspicion.
For many years which followed the publication
of the edition of 1769, even after its glaring imper-
fections had become in some measure kno\vn, the
King's Printer and the two English Universities
continued to reproduce what was in substance Dr
Blayney's work, when the public attention was
claimed in 1831 by Mr Curtis of Islington, who
complained that all modern reprints of Holy Scrip-
ture departed widely from the original edition of
161 1, to the great deterioration of our Vernacular
Translation I It is needless to revive the contro-
versy that ensued, in which the case of the privi-
leged presses was successfully maintained by Dr
Cardwell in behalf of Oxford, by Dr Turton for
Cambridge, in the pamphlets which have been
already cited in this Section. The consequent pub-
lication of the standard text in the Oxford reprint
of 1833, which we have used so much, virtually set-
tled the whole debate, by shewing to the general
reader the obvious impossibility of returning to
the Bible of 16 11, with all the defects which those
who superintended the press had been engaged,
for more than two centuries, in reducing to a more
consistent and presentable shape. One result of
the communication at that time entered upon be-
tween the Delegates of the Oxford and the Syndics
of the Cambridge Presses was a letter written from
Dr Cardwell to Dr Turton in 1839 respecting a
more exact accordance of the Authorized Version
as published by the two Universities. These
learned men were instructed to confer together
on the subject, although it is not easy to point
out any actual result of their consultation. The
only papers at Cambridge at all bearing on the
subject have been placed at the Editor's disposal,
but they amount to very little, though it is to them
he is indebted, when in the Appendices or else-
where he speaks of an alteration as having been
made by the direction of Bp. Turton".

INTRODUCTION.
The revision of the Canonical Scriptures pro-
jected (1847 — 1851) by the American Bible Society
was a more ambitious enterprise, which until lately
has hardly been heard of in England'. A Commit-
tee of seven, on which we recognize the honoured
name of Edward Robinson, engaging as their col-
lator James W. McLane, a Presbyterian minister in
the State of New York, superintended his compari-
son of a standard American Bible with recent copies
published in London, Oxford, Cambridge and Edin-
burgh, as also with the book of 161 1. Where the
four modem British volumes proved uniform, the
new revision was conformed to them, or, in matters
of punctuation, to any three united. Other rules
drawn up for McLane's guidance shew laudable
care on the part of the Committee, who felt and
confessed that some restraint (even though a light
one) was peculiarly needed by their citizens, since
"the exposure to variations is naturally greater,
wherever the printing of the Bible is at the option
of every one who chooses to undertake it, without
restriction and without supervision ; as in this coun-
try since the Revolution" {Report, p. 8). To this
task the good men devoted themselves for three
years and a half, and finally presented their Report
and revision to the Board of Managers which had
appointed them. //'/ omitis cffusus labor: adopted at
first, the work was rejected the very next year (1852)
by a majority of the same body, "on the ground of
alleged want of constitutional authority, and popu-
lar dissatisfaction with a number of the changes
made'." Some small fruits, however, of their faith-
ful toil remain in the editions of the Bible pub-
lished by the American Bible Society since i860,
to which reference is frequently made in the course
of this Introduction and its Appendices'. It is
not easy to persuade ourselves that very much has
will explain what we mean. Tlie revision seems due in the
main to Wm. Greenfield, F.A.S., of the British and Foreign
Bible Society, although he died in 1831.
' The only account which has reached England is given
in a scarce Tract in the Library of the British and Foreign
Bible Society (U. 4. ■23) : Report on the History and Recent
Collation of the English Version of the Bible: presented by

American Bible Society, and adopted. May i, 18 jr, pp. 32,

been lost by the failure of the praiseworthy effort
just described. The plan of operation was not
sufficiently thorough to produce any considerable
results. Between the five recent Bibles that were
collated the differences would be slight and super-
ficial, but when the standard of 16 n came to be
taken into account, it is very credible that the re-
corded variations, solely in the text and punctua-
tion, amounted to 24,000 {Report, p. 31). No
attempt seems to have been made to bridge over
the wide gulph between the first issues of the Au-
thorized Version and those of modem times by the
use of such intermediate editions as have been
examined in the present Section; nor does the
general tone of their Report encourage the belief
that the previous studies of the revisers had lain
in that direction. Hence followed of necessity, or
at any rate in practice, so complete a postpone-
ment of Bibles of the seventeenth century to those
of the nineteenth, that wheresoever the latter
agreed together, their very worst faults, whether
relating to the text or to the italic type (and more
especially to the italics), were almost sure to escape
detection, and never did come to the knowledge of
the Committee, save by some happy accident.
It remains to state that the model or standard
copy by which the present work has been set up
at the press is the Cambridge 8vo. edition, small
pica (with marginal references) 1858. This Para-
graph Bible, therefore, agrees with the Cambridge
method of spelling certain words enumerated in Sec-
tion V. (j). xlviii.), rather than with the London or
Oxford fashion. Our standard may be pronounced
to be accurately printed, inasmuch as close and
repeated examination has enabled us to note only
the following errata in the text or margin.

i. 4 Kiria^h ; Ezra i. 7 his god (presumably by accident, yet
it looks true : compare in Hebrew 2 Kin. xix. 37 ; Dan. i. 2) ;

The Epistle of" The Translators to the Reader,"
which follows the Dedication in all principal edi-
tions of the Authorized Version, has been illus-
trated in this volume by such notes as seemed
necessary. The reputed author of this noble Pre-
face (for, in spite of the quaintness of its style and
the old fashion of its learning, it deserves no
meaner epithet) is Dr Miles Smith of the first
Oxford Company, who would naturally be one of
the six final revisers (p. xiv.), and became Bishop of
Gloucester in 161 2. The Calendar and Tables of
Lessons usually annexed to this Preface are no
more a part of the Version than the Book of Com-
mon Prayer and the metrical Psalms which are
sometimes placed at the beginning and end of the
Bible. The Genealogical charts, accompanied with
a Map of Canaan and its Index, the work of John
Speed, were printed separately in various sizes, that
they might be bound up with the Bibles, without
any option of the purchaser. Mr Fry prints {A
Descriptio7i, &c. p. 40) a Patent granting to him
this privilege dated in the eighth year of James I.,
to hold good "only during the term of ten years
next ensuing," at an additional charge of not more
than two shillings for the large folio size.
Section II.
On the }>iarghial notes and the original texts of the
Authorized Version of the English Bible.
Besides those references to parallel texts of
Scripture which will be spoken of elsewhere (Sec-
tion vi), the margin of most of our English Bibles,
including the Authorized Version, contains certain
brief annotations, the extent and character of which
will now be described. The practice was begun by
Tyndale, in whose earliest New Testament of 1525,
the slight fragments of whose single known copy
enrich the Grenville Library in the British Museum,
notes rather expository than relating to interpreta-
tion are extant in the margin. In some places,
and yet more in his version of the Pentateuch (1530
and subsequent years), these notes become strongly
polemical, and breathe a spirit which the warmest
admirers of that truly great man find it easier to
excuse than to commend. In Coverdale's Bible
(1535)) which was issued in hot haste to seize a
fleeting opportunity, only five out of the eighteen
notes found in the New Testament are explanatory,
the rest having reference to the proper rendering :
in the earlier pages of his Bible they occur much
more frequently. Annotations of this kind are
quite a distinctive feature as well of the Geneva
New Testament of 1557, as of the Geneva Bible of
1560; and, mingled with others which are purely
interpretative, are strewn somewhat unequally over
the pages of the Bishops' Bible (1568, 1572). One
of the most judicious of the Instructions to the
Translators laid down for their guidance by King
James I., and acted upon by them with strict
fidelity, prescribed that " No marginal notes at all
be affixed, but only for the explanation of the
Hebrew or Greek words, which cannot, without
some circumlocution, so briefly and fitly be ex-
pressed in the text." It had by that time grown
intolerable, that on the self-same page with the
text of Holy Scripture, should stand some bitter
pithy comment, conceived in a temper the very
reverse of that which befits men who profess to
love God in Christ. \
In the Old Testament the marginal notes in
our standard Bibles of 161 1 amount to 6637,
whereof 41 11 express the more literal meaning of
the original Hebrew or Chaldee (there are 77 re-

ferring to the latter language): 2156 give alter-
native renderings (indicated by the word ""Or"
prefixed to them) which in the opinion of the
Translators are not very less probable than those
in the text: in 63 the meaning of Proper names is
stated for the benefit of the unlearned (e.g. Gen.
xi. 9; xvi. 11): in 240 (whereof 108 occur in the
first book of Chronicles) necessary information is
given by way of harmonizing the text with other
passages of Scripture, especially in regard to the
orthography of Hebrew names (e.g. Gen. xi. 16,
20, 24): while the remaining 67 refer to various
readings of the original text, in 31 of which the
marginal variation (technically called Keri) of the
Masoretic revisers of the Hebrew is set in compe-
tition with the reading in the text {Chetiv). Of
this last kind of marginal notes a list is subjoined,
as many of them are not readily distinguishable
from the alternative renderings, being mostly, like
them, preceded by " "Or". They are

to the New, adding, " I will not positively affirm that no
other Various Readings than the following are to be found in
the Margin, but the impression of my mind is that no others
do exist there" (p. 128, second edition). But, in truth, his
whole treatise is a notable example of what wary tact and
dialectic skill may accomplish, when wielded by one who
does not know too much about the matter at issue, and is
fortunate enough to encounter opponents who know consi-
derably less.

Where the variation in the reading was brought
prommently into view by the Masoretic notes, it
was only natural that the Translators should refer
to it in their margin. Respecting the Hebrew text
which they followed, it would be hard to identify
any particular edition, inasmuch as the differences
between early printed Bibles are but few. The
Complutensian Polyglott, however, which afforded
them such important help in the Apocrypha, was
of course at hand, and we seem to trace its in-
fluence in some places, e.g. in 2 Chr. i. 5 D!^ "there,"
of the Complutensian text, the Septuagint and
Vulgate, being accorded a place in the margin; as
also in Job xxii. 6 Tns "thy brother," where later
editors give the plural, as do the Targum, Syriac,
Septuagint, and Vulgate. Yet the Complutensian
throws no light on the reading in many other pas-
sages, where some other text must have been before
them: e.g. i Chr. vi. 57 ("of Judah" added); Ps.
Ixiv. 6, where the marginal rendering ought to be
taken in preference.
It has been sometimes alleged that the alterna-
tive renderings (introduced by " ' Or ") which are set
in the margin of the Authorized English Version,
are superior, on the whole, to those in the text^
It would be indeed a conspicuous instance of bad
judgment on the part of the Translators, if it could
be justly maintained that where two or more senses
of a passage were brought fairly before them, they
mostly, or even frequently, put the worst into the
body of their work. But no competent scholar
who has carefully examined the matter will think
' "The Translators... have placed some different signifi-
cations in the Margent; but those most- what the better;
because when tmth is tryed by most voyees^ it is commonly
out-voted." Dr R. GelTs Essay toward the Afiiendmetit of tli€

[sect. II.
that they have gone so far \vrong. On the other
hand, he will perhaps feel disposed to complain
that so many of these marginal notes assign a sense
to the sacred record which cannot possibly be ac-
cepted as true. Some of these, no doubt, are
taken either from the text or margin of the Bishops'
Bible, which had been read in Churches for about
forty years when the Authorized Version was made,
and which King James had expressly directed " to
be followed, and as little altered as the truth of
the original will permit." But far the greater part
must be traced to another source, to which adequate
attention has not yet been directed. Of the several
Latin translations of the Old Testament which
were executed in the sixteenth century, that which
was the joint work of Immanuel Tremellius [1510
— 80], a converted Jew (the proselyte first of Car-
dinal Pole, then of Peter MartjT), who became
Professor of Divinity at Heidelberg, and of his
son-in-law Francis Junius [1545 — 1602], was at
once the latest and the most excellent. Originally
published in 1575 — 9, and revised in 1590 after
the death of Tremellius by Junius, who added a
version of the Apocrypha of which he was the sole
author, a large edition printed in London in 1593
soon caused it to become very highly esteemed in
this country for its perspicuity and general faithful-
ness. One great fault it has, a marked tendency,
in passages either obscure in themselves, or sug-
gesting some degree of difficulty, to wander into
new paths of interpretation, wherein it ought to
have found few to follow or commend it. This
version must have lain open before the Translators
throughout the whole coiirse of their labours : it
has led them into some of the most conspicuous
errors that occur in their text (2 Chr. xx. i ; Job
xxxiv. 33), while as regards the margin, whensoever
a rendering is met with violently harsh, inverted,
or otherwise unlikely, its origin may be sought,
almost with a moral certainty of finding it, in the
pages of Tremellius and Junius. These statements
are made with reference to every part of the Old
Testament (e.g. Gen. xl. 13, 16, 19, 20. Ex. xvii.
16; xxix. 43. Judg. ix. 31. 2 Sam. i. 9; xxi. 8),
but, for the sake of brevity, the proof of them
shall be drawn from one distinct portion, the books
of the Minor Prophets. To these authorities solely,
so far as the writer has observed, are due the sup-
plying of "/<?/■ twug/it" in Mai. i. 10, and the textual
rendering of Mai. ii. 16: as are also the following
marginal notes, scattered among others of a widely
different type: Hos. i. 6; 10 {'' instead of that");
vi. 4 {''kindness"); x. 10; xii. 8 {'' all my labours"
&c.); xiv. 2. Joel iii. 21. Amos iv. 3; v. 22;
vii. 2. Obad. 7 ("(i/ /■/"'). Mic. vii. 13. Nah. i.

Hitherto no marginal notes have been taken
into consideration except those given in the primary
issues of 161 1 ; but 368 others have been subse-
quently inserted by various hands, which are dis-
tinguished from those of earlier date in the present
volume by being printed within brackets. Of these
the Cambridge folio of 1629 contributes that on
Jer. iii. 19; the folio of 1638 that on Ezek. xlviii. i :
thirty-one others were inserted in the course of the
century that followed, viz. i Kin. xxii. 41, 51. 2 Kin.
i. i7;viii. 16; ix. 29; xiii. 9, 10; xiv. 23, 29; xv.

xi. 7, 10, 25. Hos. vii. 7 ; xiii. i6 : as many as 269
are due to Dr Paris (1762), and 66 to Dr Blayney
(1769), who is usually credited with them all. Many
of them are not destitute of a certain value (espe-
cially such explanations relating to Proper names
as we see in Gen. ii. 23)', although a persistent re-
solution to set right the regnal years of the Jewish
kings, commenced in 1701, and fully carried out
in 1762, leads on their authors to expedients which
are at times rather daring than satisfactory : e. g.
2 Kin. XV. i; 30. The American revisers of 1851
(see p. xxiii.) not unreasonably condemned notes
like these, and those on Judg. iii. 31 ; xi. 29; xii. 8,
II, 13; xiii. i; XV. 20 (all from the Bible of 1762),
as " containing merely conjectural and unwarranted
commentary," and expunged them accordingly from
the margin of their book ; but they all came back
again with the other restorations which public opi-
nion forced upon the New York Bible Society. In
one instance (Dan. ix. 27) Dr Paris has ventured
to substitute a marginal rendering of his own in
the place of that of 161 1 ("Or, 7uith the abominable
armies "), and has been followed by all modern

Bibles. In the present edition the two stand side
by side.
The marginal notes appended to the Apocry-
pha, which have next to be examined, differ not
inconsiderably in tone and character from those
annexed to the text of the Canonical Scriptures.
They are much more concerned with various read-
ings, as was indeed inevitable by reason of the
corrupt state of the Greek text of these books,
which still await and sadly need a thorough critical
revision, by the aid of materials that have re-
cently come to light. Authorities also are some-
times cited by name in the margin, a practice not
adopted in the Old Testament'. Such are Atha-
nasius, i Esdr. iv. 36 : Herodotus, Judith ii. 7 :
Pliny's History, Benedicite or the Song, ver. 23 :
Josephus, I Esdr. iv. 29. Esther xiii. i ; xvi. i.
I Mace. V. 54 ; vi. 49 ; vii. i ; ix. 4, 35, 49, 50 ;
X. I, 81; xi. 34; xii. 7, 8, 19, 28, 31. 2 Mace,
vi. 2 : in the Maccabees after the example of Cover-
dale. Even Junius, the Latin translator, is ap-
pealed to eight times by name : 2 Esdr. xiii. 2, 13.
Tobit vii. 8 ; ix. 6 ; xi. 18 ; xiv. 10. Judith iii. 9 ;
vii. 3.
The texts from which the Apocryphal books
were translated can be determined with more pre-
cision than in the case of the Old Testament, and
were not the same for them all. The second book
of Esdras, though the style is redolent of a Hebrew
or Aramaic origin, exists only in the common Latin
version and Junius' paraphrase, which is cited for
the reading in ch. xiii. 2, 13. In this book some
excellent Latin manuscripts to which they had
access (ch. iv. 51 marg.), as also the Bishops' Bible,
must have had great weight with its revisers. The
Prayer of Manasses had to be drawn from the same
source, for the Greek was first published in Wal-
ton's Polyglott (1657), as it appears in the Codex
Alexandrinus, the earliest that contains it, which
did not reach England before 1628. The first book
of Esdras ('O Upcvs as the Greeks call it) is not in
the Complutensian Polyglott (15 17), so that Aldus's
Greek Bible ( 1 5 1 8) was primarily resorted to, as is
^ The apparent exceptions of Josephus, quoted Gen. xxii.
I ; 2 Kin. xiv. 8, are respectively due to the editors of 1701
and 1762: that in Esther xi. i and the notes set within

edition. The reference to Usher in 7. Kin. xv. 30 forms part

graphical error there described being that of Aldus
(TraptSo^ijcai' afSaacrdoia for Trap^Sodrj Sai'a/Jacrcrapw),
which had misled the Bishops' Bible. Besides this
edition, our Translators had before them the
Roman Septuagint of I586^ to which they refer,
without )'et naming it, in ch. v. 25 ; viii. 2. For
the remainder of the Apocrypha they had access
also to the Complutensian, which in the books of
Tobit, Judith, Wisdom and Ecclesiasticus seems a
close copy of Cod. Vatican. 346 (Cod. 248 of
Parsons)^, to the Aldine, and Roman editions*;
the latter " copy" they cite by name Tobit xiv. 5,
10; I Mace. ix. 9; xii. 37, as they also do "the
Latin interpreters" in 2 Mace. vi. i. By means of
these Greek authorities they were enabled to clear
the text of Tobit of the accretions brought into the
Old Latin version, which had been over-hastily re-
vised by Jerome. As a small instalment of what
remains to be done for the criticism of that noble
work, two passages in Ecclesiasticus (i. 7 ; xvii. 5)
are inclosed within brackets in the books of 161 1.
The former is found in no Greek Text our Trans-
lators knew of, but only in the Latin and Bishops'
Bible : the latter occurs complete only in some late
manuscripts, though the Complutensian and Cod.
^ An excellent account of this edition is contained in the
Prolegomena to Tischendorf's Septuagint, pp. xix. — xxviii.
(1869). Although the work itself is not quite what it pro-
fesses to be, "exemplar ipsum" (the great Codex Vaticanus)
" de verbo ad verbum representatum ;" yet both the Epistle
of Cardinal Carafa, who superintended it, and the Preface
of his assistant, Peter Morinus, display an insight into the
tnie principles of textual criticism, quite beyond their age.
' This manuscript contained also i Esdras, if it be the
same as that forwhich Cardinal Ximenes gave a bond in 1513
to the Librarian of the Vatican (Vercellone, Pref. to Mai's
Cod. Vat. Vol. I.). So that he must have designedly kept
back a book which the Council of Trent afterwards refused
to declare Canonical.

in I Esdras) alternative forms of Proper names
are given for the reader's guidance, to which must
be added 42 notes containing useful information.
Hence the sum total of the notes due to the
original Translators in the Apocrypha appears to
be 1016. Besides these two were annexed in the
Cambridge Bible of 1638 (see above, last column),
18 in that of 1762, one (Tobit iv. 20) in 1769, in
all 21. In the present edition are added, set within
brackets, one marginal direction note at Esther xv. i,
and at Ecclus. xviii. 30 ; xx. 27 ; xxiii. 7, summa-
ries of contents, extracted from the best Manuscripts,
resting on authority quite as good as and nearly
identical with any in favour of those inserted by
the Authorized Version in Ecclus. xxiv. i ; xxx. i,
14; xxxiii. 24; xxxiv. i ; xliv. i; li. i.
We come at length to the New Testament, the
marginal annotations in which in the first edition
amount to 765, so that together with the 6637 in
the Old Testament, and the 1016 in the Apocrypha,
the number in the whole Bible is no less than
8418'. Of the 765 in the New Testament 35 re-
late to various readings, and will be detailed pre-
sently (p. xxxi.); 112 present us with a more literal
rendering of the Greek than was judged suitable
for the text; no less than 582 are alternative trans-
lations, 35 are explanatory notes or brief exposi-
tions. Of later notes, the Bible of 1762 added
96, that of 1769 no more than nine. Taking in
therefore the 36S noted in the Old Testament
(p. xxvL), and the 21 in the Apocrypha, these addi-
tional marginal annotations amount in all to 494,
few of them of any great value, some even mar-
vellously trifling, but all of them in the present
volume readily distinguished from the work of the
original Translators by being placed within brackets.
Those who shall look almost at random into the
multitude of Bibles published between 1638 and
1762 (a branch of enquiry which the plan of our
edition did not lead to the necessity of examining
very minutely), will probably find the germ of some
of these later notes in Bibles of that period, put
' In the present volume the same marginal note is often
made to apply to two or more places, if they stand very near
each other, by means of repeating the marks of reference (t or
I). Thus in Gen. vii. 3, the marginal note "tHeb. sn'cn
seven, " which in 161 1 is attached to ver. 2 only, serves to
illustrate the same phrase occurring immediately afterwards.

forth as it were tentatively, and withdrawn in later
copies. Thus the later margins of Matt, x.wiii. 1 9
(slightly altered in 16S3, 1701) and of Acts xiv. 21
first appeared in Field's Bible of 1660, then in the
Cambridge edition of 1683. To the same Bibles
may be traced the notes on Matt. x. 25 ; xiv. 6 ;
xxi. 19; xxii. 26. Mark xi. 17. Luke xxii. 42.
Acts vii. 44; viii. 13. i Cor. vii. 32. 2 Cor. viii.
2; X. 10. James iii. 6. 2 John 3. The Cam-
bridge Bible of 1683 first gave those on Matt.
i. 20. Mark iii. 3; vii. 22. Luke vii. 8; xi. 36;
xviii. 2 ; xxi. 8. Acts ix. 2 ; xv. 5 ; xvii. 3 ; xviii. 5.

the work of the same mind. Two more appear in
Lloyd's Bible of 1701, i Cor. xii. 5. Heb. i. 6".
These t,?> notes at least must accordingly be de-
ducted from the 96 imputed to Dr Paris, and they
are among the best of this class. After having been
swept away from the ordinary Bibles whereof ours
of 1743 — 4 is a type, he brought them back again
into their former places.
As Tremellius had special influence with the
revisers of the Old Testament, and Junius with
those of the Apocrypha, so Beza had considerable
weight with the Translators of the New Testament.
Some of their worst marginal renderings come from
his Latin version, such as Mark i. 34. Luke iv.
41. Acts i. 8. Rom. xi. 17. i Cor. iv. 9, though
this last belongs to 1762. The earlier versions also
often gave rise to the margin. Thus 2 Cor. v. 1 7
is alleged to this effect by Bp. Turton", where the
Genevan Bible of 1560 led our Translators to in-
sert a note in opposition to their own judgment,
fortified as it was by Beza, and all the English
versions save that one. Particular attention was
naturally paid to the Bishops' Bible, which was
the basis of the Authorized. Sometimes its ren-
derings both in text and margin are retained un-
changed : e.g. 2 Cor. viii. 22 : or the margin alone

to pursue this subject further, however curious the
questions it suggests, since after all, every render-

Beza's text or notes.

In Appendi.x E pp. c. — civ. has been brought
together all that can throw light on the critical re-
sources at the command of our Translators in the
prosecution of their version of the New Testament.
That these were very scanty is sufficiently well
known, and, if for this cause only, a formal revision
of their work has now become a matter of neces-
sity, after the lapse of so long a period. None of
the most ancient Greek manuscripts had then been
collated, and though Codex Bezae (D) had been for
many years deposited in England, little use had
been made of it, and that single document, from its
very peculiar character, would have been more
likely to mislead than to instruct in inexperienced
hands. It would be unjust to assert that the
Translators failed to take advantage of the materials
which were readily accessible, nor did they lack
care or discernment in the application of them.
Doubtless they rested mainly on the later editions
of Beza's Greek Testament, whereof his fourth
(1589) was more highly esteemed than his fifth
j (1598), the production of his extreme old age.
' But besides these, the Complutensian Polyglott,
together with the several editions of Erasmus and
Stephens's of 1550, were constantly resorted to.
Out of the 131 passages examined in Appendix E,
wherein the differences between the texts of these
books are sufficient to affect, however slightly, the
language of the version, our Translators abide with
I Beza against Stephens in Si places, with Stephens
against Beza in 21, with the Complutensian, Erasmus,
or the Vulgate against both Stephens and Beza in
29. The influence of Beza is just as perceptible in
the cases of their choice between the various read-
ings which have been collected above (p. xxxi.): the
variation approved by him is set in the text, that of
the other is mostly banished to the margin. On
certain occasions, it may be, the Translators yielded
too much to Beza's somewhat arbitrary decisions ;
but they lived at a time when his name was the
very highest among Reformed theologians, when
means for arriving at an independent judgment
were few and scattered, and when the first principles
of te.xtual criticism had yet to be gathered from a
long process of painful induction. His most obvious
and glaring errors their good sense easily enabled
them to avoid (cf. Matt. i. 23 ; John xviii. 20).
Section III.
On the use of the Italic type by the Translators, and
on the extension of their principles by subseqnmt
editors.
The practice of indicating by a variation of type
such words in a translation of the Bible as have
no exact representatives in the original is believed
to have been first employed by Sebastian Munster
in his Latin version of the Old Testament pub-
lished in 1534'. Five years later this diversity of
character ("a small letter in the text" as the editors
describe it) was resorted to in Cranmer's Bible, in
order to direct attention to clauses rendered from
the Latin Vulgate which are not extant in the
Hebrew qr Greek originals. A good example of its
use occurs in Matt. xxv. i where " (and the bride) "
is added to the end of the verse from the Old
Latin, not from any Greek copy known in that age.
As the readings of the Vulgate came to be less
regarded or less familiar in England, subsequent
translators applied the smaller type to the purpose
for which Munster had first designed it, the rather
as Theodore Beza had so used it in his Latin New
Testament of 1556. Thus the English New Testa-
ment published at Geneva in 1557, and the Geneva
Bible of 1560, "put to that word, which lacking
' Bp. Turton's Text of the English Bible Considered (p.
Ill second edition). In this branch of the subject the Bishop
was quite at home, and has given a view of the italics which
is only not complete.

made the sentence obscure, but set it in such
letters, as may easily be discerned from the com-
mon text'." The same expedient was adopted by
the translators of the Bishops' Bible (1568, 1572),
somewhat too freely indeed in parts. It is one of
the most considerable faults of this not very suc-
cessful version, that its authors assumed a liberty of
running into paraphrase, the ill effects of which this
very difference in the type tended to conceal from
themselves. From these two preceding versions,
then held in the best repute, the Geneva and the
Bishops' Bibles, the small Roman as distinguished
from the black letter (now respectively represented
by the Italic and Roman type) was brought natu-
rally enough into the Bible of 161 1, and forms a
prominent feature of it, whether for good or ill.
On this last point, namely, the wisdom or con-
venience of printing different words in the same
verse or line in different kinds of type, with a
view to the purpose explained above, it is not
necessary for an editor of the Authorized Bible to
express, or even to hold, an opinion. Itahcs, or
whatever corresponds with them, may possibly be
dispensed with altogether (though in practice this
abstinence will be found hard to maintain) ; or
they may be reserved for certain extreme cases,
where marked difference in idiom between the two
languages, or else some obscurity or corruption of
the original text, seems to forbid a strict and
literal translation. It is enough for the present
purpose to say that our existing version was plainly
constructed on another principle : those who made
it saw no objection to the free use of a typogra-
phical device which custom had sanctioned, and
would have doubtless given a different turn to
many a sentence had they been debarred from in-
dicating to the unlearned what they had felt obliged
to add of their own to the actual words of the
original ; the addition being always either involved
and implied in the Hebrew or Greek, or at any
rate so necessary to the sense that the English
reader would be perple.xed or go wrong without it.
Taking for granted, therefore, the right of the
Translators thus to resort to the italic type, and
the general propriety of the mode of their exer-
cising it, the only inquiry now open to us is whe-
ther they were uniform, or reasonably consistent,
in their use of it.
1 To the Header, p. 2, N.T. 1557.
And in the face of patent and well-ascertained
facts it is impossible to answer such a question in the
affirmative. That undue haste and Scarcely venial
carelessness on the part of the persons engaged
in carrying through the press the issues of 1611,
which are only too visible in other matters {above,
p. xii.), are nowhere more conspicuous than with
regard to this difference in the type. If it be once
conceded that the Translators must have intended
to use or refrain from using italics in the selfsame
manner in all cases that are absolutely identical
(and the contrary supposition would be strange
and unreasonable indeed), their whole case in this
matter must be given up as indefensible. There
is really no serious attempt to avoid palpable in-
consistencies on the same page, in the same verse :
and those who have gone over this branch of their
work will be aware that even comparative uniformi-
ty can be secured only in one way, by the repeated
comparison of the version with the sacred originals,
by unflagging attention so that nothing however
minute may pass unexamined. This close and
critical examination was evidently entered upon,
with more or less good results, by those who pre-
pared the Cambridge Bibles of 1629 and more
especially of 1638 (for before these appeared the
italics of 161 1, with all their glaring faults, were
reprinted without change^), and in the next cen-
tury by Dr Paris in 1762, by Dr Blayney and his
friends in I769'''. The rules to be observed in
such researches, and the principles on which they
are grounded, must be gathered from the study of
the standard of 16 11, exclusively of subsequent
changes, regard being paid to what its authors in-
tended, rather than to their actual practice.
The cases in which the italic character has
been employed by tlie Translators of our Autho-
rized Bible may probably be brought under the
following heads : —
(i) When words quite or nearly necessary to
complete the sense of the sacred writers have been
introduced into the text from parallel places of
Scripture. Six such instances occur in the second
book of Samuel :
" There may be more alterations, but we can name only
Gal. i. 3, "Ac" italicised in 1613, but not in later Bibles be-
fore 1629 (Cambridge).

cli. xxiii. 8. "the same 7vas Adino the Eznite: he lift up
his spear against eight hundred, whom he slew at one time."
I Chr. xi. II supplies "he lift up, &c."
Thus Num. xx. 26 is filled up from ver. 24;
Judg. ii. 3 from Num. xx\iii. 55 or Josh, xxiii. 13;
1 Kin, ix. 8 from 2 Chr. vii. 21; 2 Kin. xxv. 3 from
Jer. xxxix. 2 and lii. 6 ; i Chr. ix. 41 from ch. viii.
35; I Chr. xvii. 25 from 2 Sam. vii. 27; i Chr.
xviii. 6 from 2 Sam. viii. 6; 2 Chr. xxv. 24 from
2 Kin. xiv. 14; Ezra ii. 6, 59 from Neh. vii. 11, 61.
In the Bible of 1638 Jer. vi. 14 of the daughter is
italicised as taken into the text from ch. viii. 11.
This is the simplest case, for the words supplied
in italics are doubtless lost in the one ancient text,
preserved in the other.
(2) When the extreme conciseness of the He-
brew language produces a form of expression
intelligible enough to those who are well versed in
it, yet hardly capable of being transformed into
a modern tongue. One or two of Bp. Turton's
(Text, &c. pp. 50, 51) examples will illustrate our
meaning:
Gen. xiii. 9. " Separate thyself, I pray thee, from me :
if the left hand, then I will go to the right ; or if the right
hand, then I will go to the left."
Ex. xiv. 10. " And it was a cloud and darkness, but it
gave light by night. "
Every one must feel that something is wanting
to render these verses perspicuous ; the latter in-
deed we should hardly understand, without looking
closely to the context. It seems quite right, there-
fore, that supplementary words should be inserted
in such i)laces, and equally fit that they should be
indicated by some contrivance that may shew that
they form no part of the Hebrew original. In our
version accordingly the verses stand as follows,
except that in the former "thou" (twice over) was
not in italics before 1629; italicise also the second
"to":
" If tltoii wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the
right ; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to
the left."
" It was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light
by night to these."
To this class we may most conveniently refer
the numerous cases wherein what grammarians call
the apodosis (that is, tiie consequence resulting
from a supposed act or condition) is implied rather
than stated, yet in English requires something to
be expressed more or less fully : such are the fol-
lowing texts ;
Gen. XXX. 27. " If I have found favour in thine eyes,
tarry."
2 Chr. ii. 3. "As thou didst deal with David my father,
and didst send him cedars... eiren so deal with ine."
Dan. iii. 15. " If ye be ready that at what time ye hear
the sound of the cornet,. ..je fall down and worship the image
which I have made, well."
Luke xiii. 9. " And if it bear fruit, well."
Occasionally our Translators, with happy bold-
ness, have suppressed the apodosis entirely, as in
the original (Ex. xxxii. 32; Luke xix. 42). In some
few passages the seeming necessity for such inser-
tion arises from a misunderstanding either of the
sense or the construction: such is probably the
case in Neh. iv. 12, and unquestionably so in
Matt. XV. 6 ; Mark vii. 1 1 .
(3) Just as little objection will probably be
urged against the custom of our Translators in
italicising words supplied to clear up the use of
the grammatical figure known as the zeugma, where-
by, in the Hebrew no less than in the Greek
and Latin languages, an expression which strictly
belongs to but one member of a sentence is made,
with some violation of strict propriety, to do duty
in another.
Gen. iv. 30. " .\nd Adah bare Jabal : he was the father
of such as dwell in tents, and cattle." Supply, " of such as
have cattle."
Ex. iii. 16. "I have surely visited you, and that which
is done to you in Egypt." Our version here, with less
necessity, inserts "seen" after "and."
Ex. XX. 18. "And all the people saw the thunderings,
and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the

mountain smoking." Here the order of the clauses renders
it impossible to supply any single word which would not
increase the awkwardness of the sentence: the passage is
accordingly left as it stands in the original. Not so the
sharper language of the parallel place :
Deut. iv. 12. "Ye heard the voice of the words, but
saw no similitude, only a voice." After "only" insert with
1611 "ye heard."
1 Kin. xi. 12 (so i Chr. xxiii. ii). "And he brought
forth the king's son, and put the crown upon him, and the
testimony." Insert " gave him" before "the testimony."
Luke i. 64. "And his mouth was opened immediately,
and his tongue," add "loosed."
I Cor. xiv. 34. " It is not permitted unto them to speak,
but to be under obedience." After "but" insert " they are
commanded." ^o ^^ and commanding" before " to abstain "
in the exactly parallel passage, i Tim. iv. 3.
The following examples, taken from the Apo-
crypha, have been neglected by all editors up to
the present date :
1. Esdr. ix. 24. "Taste no flesh, drink no wine, but eat
flowers only. "
xii. 17. "As for the voice which thou heardest speak,
and that thou sawest not to go out from the heads." This
rendering, taken from the Coverdale and Bishops' Bibles, is
possibly incorrect.
Ecclus. li. 3. "According to the multitude of thy mer-
cies ^XiA greatness of thy name."
(4) Akin to the preceding is the practice of
inserting in the Authorized Version a word or two,
in order to indicate that abrupt transition from the
oblique to the direct form of speech, which is so
familiar to most ancient languages, but so foreign
to our own :
Gen. iv. 25. "And she bare a son, and called his name
Seth : for God, said she, hath appointed me another seed
instead of Abel."
Ex. xviii. 4. "And the name of the other was Eliezer;
for the God of my father, said he, vas mine help."
Our marginal references on the latter text sup-
ply several other instances of this construction.
The inconvenience of a sudden change of person,
unbroken by any such words supplied, may appear
from Gen. xxxii. 30, "And Jacob called the name
of the place Peniel : for I have seen God face to
face, and my life is preserved." Just as abrupt is
the construction in Gen. xli. 52 (compare ver. 51);
Tobit viii. 21. In 2 Mace. vi. 24 "said he" con-
tinued in Roman type till 1638.
(5) Another use of italics is to indicate that
a word or clause is of doubtful authority as a
matter of textual criticism. Of this in the Autho-
rized Version we can produce only one unequivocal
instance in the Canonical books, i John ii. 23
(see Appendix E, p. cii.); for it is not quite cer-
tain that the change of type in Judg. xvi. 2 ; xx. 9,
employed to point out words borrowed from the
Septuagint, intimates any suspicion of a lacuna in
the te.xt. In subsequent editions occur the follow-
ing instances, most of them being due to the
Cambridge edition of 1638, those that are not so
having another date affixed to them :
Deut. xxvii. 26 ("<?//"). Josh. xxii. 34 ("£</"). i Sam.
ii. 16 ("Nay" 1629 Camb.)'. 2 Kin. xix. 31 ("0/ hosts")^;
XX. 13 (the second "all" appears in most Hebrew Bibles,
and we have restored the Roman character). 2 Chr. v. i
("all"); xvii. 4 ("LORD"). Job x. 20 ("cease then, and,"
1611 inconsistently: we should read with 1638, "cease then,
and," or leave all in Roman as 1629 Camb., since both par-
ticles are found in Keri). Vs. xW. 1 ("And he shall be,"
Chetiv, not Keri); Ixix. 32 ("and be glad"). Prov. xx. 4
(there/ore: but 1 of JCeri is in Symmachus and the Vulgate,
so that we restore the type of 161 1). Jer. xiii. 16 ("and
make," yet 1 of Keri is in the Septuagint and Vulgate).
Lam. v. 7 ("and are not;" ".-1«(/ have." These two con-
junctions are both wanting in Chetiv, present in Keri, yet
1769 italicises the first, not the second). Mark ix. 42 (see
.Appendix E, p. c). John viii. 6 (1769: see Appendix E,
p. c). I John iii. 16 (see Appendix E, p. c).
Thus in the Apocrypha 1629 italicises on me in Tobit xi.
15, /ie being wanting in the Complutensian, but we have
decided to return to the Roman type. For similar cases
examine Ecclus. iii. 22 (1629 and 1769); i Mace. iii. 18
(1638) ; X. 78 (163S) ; xi. 15 (1638, partim recti) ; xiv.4 (1638).
To these passages, \\ hich in the present volume
have been italicised or the contrary, according to
the circumstances in each case, we have added
2 Chr. .XV. S"qf Oded^" to point out the doubt
hanging over the reading or construction in that
' This is inevitable, as the reading is either 17 "to him"
(Cheti'!'), or K? "Nay" (A>)v), not both. The two words
are confused in 18 other places, of which Delitzsch points
out 17.
' The addition in this passage and others is from the
Hebrew Keri or margin ; but J\eri is received without italics
where we should not wish to insert them now : e. g. Judg. xx.
13 "the children;" Ruth iii. 5, 17 "to me." In ver. 37 of
this chapter we have italicised Keri "his sons" for the sake
of consistency. In the parallel place Isai. xxxvii. 38 "his
sons" stands in Chetiv, or the text.
' N'33n Ti'y nx-nsni (contrast ch. ix. 29 nx-ur'S?!
njn^). The absolute state of nS-133n seems connected with
a break in the sense, such as occurs in ver. 1 1 ; ch. xvi. 9.
Tlie Vulgate has here Azariir fiUi Oded, as all in ver. r. Thus
again in Prov. xv. 22, by italicising "they," we intimate that
"thoughts" is probably not the real nominative to D-lpf).

place. Also in Ecclus. i. 7; xvii. 5, italics have
been substituted, as was stated above, p. xxvii., in
the room of brackets, as a mark of probable
spuriousness in the lines so printed. The portion
of I John V. 7, 8 which is now for the first time set
in italics, is probably no longer regarded as genuine
by any one who is capable of forming an inde-
pendent judgment on the state of the evidence.
(6) The last class to which we may refer the
italicised words in our version, is that wherein the
words supplied are essential to the English sense,
although they may very well be dispensed with in
the Hebrew or Greek ; nay more, although they
could not be received into the original without
burdening the sense, or marring all propriety of
style. This last head comprises a far greater num-
ber of cases than all the rest put together, and it
may reasonably be doubted whether much advan-
tage accrues from a change of type where the sense
is not affected to an appreciable extent. Whether
we say "the folk that are with me" (Gen. xxxiii.
15) with the Bible of 161 1, or "the folk that arc
wthme" with the Cambridge edition of 1629, could
make no difference whatever, except to one who
was comparing English with Hebrew idioms, and
such a one would hardly need to carry on his
studies in this fashion. One thing, however, is
quite clear, that if it be well thus to mark the
idiomatic or grammatical divergences between lan-
guages, all possible care should be devoted to
secure uniformity of practice ; cases precisely simi-
lar should be treated in a similar manner. Now
this is just the point at which our Authorized Ver-
sion utterly fails us ; we can never be sure of its
consistency for two verses together. To take one
or two instances out of a thousand, why do we
find ''it be hid" in Levit. v. 3, 4, and "it be
hidden" in ver. 2, the Hebrew being the same in
all ? Or why should the same Hebrew be repre-
sented by "upon all four" in Levit. xi. 20, but by
"upon (or "on") a// four" in ver. 21, 27, 42 ? Even
in graver matters there is little attempt at uniform-
ity : thus ovTos Heb. iii. 3 is "this man" in 161 1,
but "this man" in Heb. viii. 3, a variation retained
to this day; in i Pet. iv. 11 "A-/ liim speak" is
italicised in 161 1, but the clause immediately follow-
ing "/rf him do it" not before 1629. These gross
oversights, with coundess others, are set right by the
revisers of 1629 and 1638, yet these later editors have
been found liable to introduce into the printed text
nearly as many inconsistencies as they removed.
Thus, for example, whereas " which were left" Lev.
X. 16 adequately renders the Hebrew article with
the participle of the Niphal conjugation, and so
in 161 1 was printed in ordinary characters, the
edition of 1638 wrongly italicises " which were" here,
but leaves untouched "that were left" in ver. 12,
a discrepancy which still cleaves to our modem
Bibles. The same must be said of " ye are to
pass" {''are" first itahcised in 1629) Deut. ii. 4 com-
pared with "thou art to pass" ver. 18 : " ctch unto
Azzah" ver. 23 ("even" correctly italicised in 1638,
indeed the word is expressed in ver. 36), but " even
unto this day" left untouched in ver. 22: "the
slain man" {"man" first in 1629) Deut. xxi. 6, but
"the slain man" ver. 3: "their backs" {"their"
first in 1629) Josh. vii. 12, but " their backs" ver.
8'. The reader will find as many instances of this
nature as he cares to search for in any portion of
our modern Bibles he may please to examine, and
from the whole matter it is impossible to draw in
the main any other conclusion than tliis : — that the
changes introduced from time to time have been
too unsystematic, too much the work of the mo-
ment, executed by too many hands, and on too
unsettled principles, to hold out against hostile, or
even friendly criticism.
Dr Blayney in his Report to the Oxford Dele-
gates (Appendix D, p. xcviii.) appeals to the edition-
of Dr Paris (1762) as having "made large correc-
tions in this particular," adding that " there still
remained many necessary alterations, which es-
caped the Doctor's notice" and had to be set
right by himself and his friends. And it cannot
be doubted, that the two Bibles of 1762 and 1769
between them largely increased the number of the
words printed in italics, but the effect was rather
1 In the Bible of 1638 we occasionally notice a strange
want of critical skill. In Prov. iii. iS our version happily
changes "he" of the Bishops' veision into "every one," to
express the plural participle, to wliich the feminine pronoun
is affixed, yet this book, followed by all the rest, actually sets
" crery one" in it.^lics. In Cant. iv. 2 "even shorn" is designed
to -translate On-lVipn {d\oK\^po3v, Symmachus, 0/ the same
bigness, Bishops'), yet "even" is set in italics, as if it were
a conjunction. In Ileb. xi. 36 we have retained, not without
hesitation, the italics first used for the word cnie! in 163S,
since all the earlier English versions were satisfied with
" mockings:" ludih-ia, Vulg.

to add to than diminish the manifest inconsis-
tencies of earlier books. Thus Blayney (and after
him the moderns) in Luke xvii. 29 (uTravTas) itaU-
cises '■'■them" before "all," yet leaves untouched
"them all" ver. 27: in Luke xix. 22 he reads
^^ thou wicked servant," retaining "thou good ser-
vant" in ver. 17. Nor can the correctness of Dr
Paris be praised overmuch. In putting into
Roman type the '■'■good" of 161 1, Eccles. vii. i,
he has been blindly followed by the rest, though a
glance at the Hebrew would have set them right :
yet some of his errors in italics were removed in
1769, e.g. "wd^y-side" Matt. xiii. 4; Mark x. 46;
Luke viii. 5. Hence it becomes manifest that in
preparing a critical edition of our vernacular Trans-
lation, which shall aim at meeting the wants and
satisfying the scholarship of the present age, no-
thing less than a close and repeated comparison of
the sacred originals, line by line, with the English
Bible, will enable us to amend the mistakes, which
lack of time and consideration has led certain of
the most eminent of our predecessors to pass by
unnoticed, or even to exaggerate while attempting
to remedy them. A task so laborious, yet promising
from the first so little benefit from its most faithful
execution, has been undertaken for the purposes
of this volume only from a deep conviction of its
necessity ; and through the intervention of the
Syndics of the Cambridge Press that task has been
somewhat lightened by the use the editor has been
allqwed to make of the manuscript notes of the
Rev. J. Gorle, Rector of Whatcote, whose acute-
ness, learning, and patience in the prosecution of
researches so minute those who have toiled in the
same field can best appreciate.
In the Apocrypha indeed the work had to be
done almost afresh, inasmuch as the Company of
Translators to whom these books were assigned
took no sort of pains to assimilate their portion
of the work to that executed by the others. They
introduce this difference of type only 54 times in
the whole Apocrypha, indeed only three instances
occur at all later than Ecclus. xlv. 4, after which
brackets [ ], or sometimes ( ) are substituted in
their room. No improvement worth mention seems
to have been attempted before 1638, when 96
(e.g. Judith xiv. 18, but Tobit iv. 13 in 1629)
fresh instances of italics were added, and most of the
brackets were displaced to make room for italics.
though a few yet survive in modern Bibles (2 Esdr.
iii. 22. Wisd. xii. 27 ; xvii. 2, 3, 4. Ecclus. vi. i, 2 ;
viii. II ; xi. 30 ; xii. 5 ; xiv. 10'). About ten places
more were subsequently italicised (e.g. Wisd. v. 17;
vui. 2. Baruch iii. n. 2 Mace. xi. 2,1 and, all in
1769), so that the italics of modern Bibles are but
273 in all. Those that are employed are of much
the same character as in the Canonical Scriptures ;
some for pointing out the zeugma (above, p. xxxiv.^
as I Mace. vii. 19=; x. 20, 24; 2 Mace. xi. 14: or
a transition in the form of speech (Judith v. 23.
Ecclus. ii. 18. I Mace. i. 50; xvi. 21; so i Esdr.
i. 4 in 1629, and 2 Mace. vi. 24 in 1638): some for
supplying a real or seeming grammatical defect
(i Esdr. iv. 11. Tobit viii. 10. EccKls. xii. 5):
one for indicating uncertainty in the reading (Tobit
X. 5'; see p. XXXV.): a few for no reason that is
apparent (Wisd. vi. 9 O kings. Ecclus. xl. 4; xlv.
4^), it would seem in mere error. As our version
of the Apocrypha is so imperfectly revised as to
resemble the Bishops' version in other respects
more closely than we find in the inspired books,
so does it in this over-free use of italic type by
way of commentary. The interpolations in Wisd.
ii. I ; xvi. 10. i Mace. vii. 32 are derived from
this source ; that in Ecclus. vi. 2 from the note of
Junius {fcrociens incerto ct vago iinpctii) ; and too
many others are conceived in the same spirit, e. o-.
Wisd. X. 10; .\iv. 12; xix. 14. Ecclus. viii. 11;
xi. 30; xlvi. 6. I Mace. viii. 18. In i Mace. ix.
35, after Coverdale and the Bishops' Bible, our
Translation actually brings a Proper name into
the te,\t " [John]," avowedly on the authority of
Josephus, for the slight evidence now produced in
its favour (the Syriac and three recent Greek
copies) was unknown to them.
1 In Ecclus. xliv. 22 the brackets [ ] can only be intended
for marks of p.nrcnthesis { ), since no copy omits the enclosed
words.
- But we have set in ordinary chamcter "[liave they cast
out]" of 161 1 in ver. 17, inasmuch .as the ellipsis is only
accidental, arising from the order of the words cited from Ps.
Ixxix. 2, 3 in the Septuagint, and indeed in the Hebrew.
'^ In 161 1 we read "AW / care for nothing, my son,
since I have let thee go," oi /j^Xei iioi, t^khov, Sn i.(prjKd tre,
but Junius would have us read oX for ou (Diusius persuades
even Fritzsche to read ai iJ.i\(i), from the Vulgate hen hen
me, fill mi, vt quid le misimus. The italic type should be
changed into Roman, since the passage m,iy very wAX stand.
* In the original edition the first four words of Ecclus.
viii. 8 are italicised by a like oversight. They were set in
Roman typ^ in 1629.

INTRODUCTION.
[sect. III.
After this general survey of the whole subject,
it is proper to state certain rules, applicable to par-
ticular cases, which a careful study of the Bible of
1611 will shew that our Translators laid down for
themselves, but which haste or inadvertence has
caused them to carry out very imperfectly in prac-
tice. It will be seen that many of their omissions
were supplied in one or other of those later edi-
tions which display care in the matter, while almost
as many have remained to be set right in the pre-
sent volume. "Whether the Translators, if they had
foreseen and fully considered how far the system
of italics which they adopted, when carried out,
would lead, would have adopted it, ...may be a
question. And whether the abundance of the
italics... does not in a measure defeat its own pur-
pose by withdrawing attention from them, is perhaps
a question also. But as it was, the course adopted
by the editors of 161 1 having been to mark by
italics not important insertions only, but to aim at
marking in this manner everything, even trifling
pronouns and auxiliary verbs, not in the originals,
carrying out however their intention very imper-
fectly : the choice for after editors lies between
adopting a different system, and carrying out theirs
to the full'." Between these alternatives few per-
haps will censure us for having chosen the latter
without much hesitation.
The following observations, therefore, grounded
on the practice of our Translators, will guide us
in a vast number of doubtful cases.
(i) The English possessive pronoun, when it
renders the Hebrew or Greek article, should be set
in italics. Compare in i6ii Judg. iii. 20. 2 Sam.
vi. 7 ; xvii. 23. 2 Kin. i.x. 35 ; xiii. 3. 2 Chr. xiii. 10.
Job i. 5 ; ii. 13. i Cor. i. i. 2 Cor. i. 1. Gal. v. 10.
Eph. iv. 28. Phil. ii. 13. So in 1629, Gen. xxvi.
II. Neh. xii. 42: in 1638, Matt. viii. 3; x. 24;
xii. 10, 33; xiii. 15 iter); xiv. 19, 31; xv. 5, &c.
passim: in 1762, Matt. xii. 46; xxi. 31; xxvi. 23,
51; xxvii. 24: in 1769, Matt. xv. 8; xxv. 32. Mark
V. 29 ; X. 16, &c.
(2) Since the definite article is only the un-
emphatic form of the demonstrative " that," and has
itself a demonstrative forced it might not appear
necessary to set "that" in italics when it repre-
sents the Greek or Hebrew article. In 1611, how-
' Grote MS. p. ■24. See p. xviii., note i.
* Bain, English Grammar, p. 34.
ever, it is thus printed so often as to prove that
our Translators designed to do so always with
"this" and "that." For their practice compare
Gen. .xviii. 32. Ex. ix. 27 ; xxxiv. i. Num. xi. 32.
Josh. iii. 4. I Sam. xiv. 8 ; xxv. 24. i Chr. xviii.
II ; xxi. 22. 2 Chr. xx. 29; .xxxvi. 18. Ezra ix.
2; X. 9. Eccles. vi. 12. Luke viii. 14. 2 Tim.
ii. 4. In 1629 many more were added, e.g. Gen.
xxxi. 43 {these \.tx); xliii. 16 (bis): in 1638, i Chr.
vi. 64; vii. 21. 2 Chr. xxviii. 22. Ezra x. 4.
Neh. viii. 10. Job xxxii. 5. Ps. Ii. 4. Eccles.
viii. 8 ; ix. 9. Isai. xxxvii. 30 (yet not 2 Kin. xix.
29). Jer. ix. 26; xxxviii. 12. Ezek. xliv. 3; xlvi.
2, 8. Hab. i. 6. Mark iv. 11 ; ix. 42. John v. 13.
Acts xxiv. 22. Rom. xvi. 22. i Cor. ix. 12; xi.
27. 2 Cor. V. I, 4. 2 Thess. i. 11. i Tim. vi. 7,
14. 2 Pet. i. 14 : a few in 1769, 2 Sam. ,\vi. 11 ;
xviii. 32. Hos. ix. 10. Yet in the New Testament
this rule is even now greatly neglected.
(3) The idioms of the English and the He-
brew differ so widely that no attempt has been
made, in the great majority of cases, to print the
English definite article in italics when the Hebrew
one is wanting. The only apparent instance of such
distinction being kept up by our Translators occurs
in I Sam. xxvi. 8, and is a mere error, the He-
brew article being present : hence " the" is put into
Roman type in 1638^. Occasionally, however, the
sense is so much affected, perhaps for the worse,
by the presence of the English article, that we
have been careful to note its absence in the He-
brew: e.g. Ps. xiv. I. Ezek. iv. i ; x. 20; xxiii.
45. Hos. ii. 4; viii. 7 ; x. 10; xii. 4. Joel ii. 6.
Amos vii. 10. Jonah iv. 10 mai-g. Mic. v. 5. In
thus dealing with the Greek article rather more
freedom has been assumed, regard being always
had to the anarthrous style of certain of the sacred
writers, and to the licence which permits the omis-
sion of the article in certain constructions. Com-
pare Ecclus. xliv. 18. Rom. i. 6; ii. 14. i Cor.
ix. 20. Gal. iv. 31. I Thess. ii. 6. i Tim. ii. 5.
Heb. ii. 5. i Pet. i. 12; iv. 10. i John ii. i.
3 John 3. Rev. .xiv. 9 ; xv. 2 ; xxi. 1 7. The
Enghsh indefinite article'', or none at all, would
better suit most of these places.
^ In Job xi. 16 also Synd. A. 3. 14, B. M. 1276. 1. 4 and
3050. g. 3 read " the misery," but this is probably a misprint
for "M/miseiy" of the other issue.
< It is, of course, quite unmeaning to italicise our indefi-

(4) Annexed to proper and common appella-
tions of places the Hebrew Hl\ the old accusative
termination, is regarded as denoting motion to, and
its absence, or that of a corresponding preposition,
is indicated by italics: e.g. Job xxx. 23; Ps. v. 7
in 1611. Buti%' prefixed, which may be the article,
and sometimes accompanies He annexed (compare
2 Sam. xiii. 10), is not so regarded. Prepositions
of motion in English, which have no Hebrew
equivalent, are systematically set by us in italics,
the rather, since it is not always certain that the
right one is employed, e.g. i Sam. xxiii. 25. 2 Kin.
xvi. 8.
(5) When an article is prefixed to a participle,
but not otherwise, and it is rendered by "which
are," "that is" &c. ("such as were" Eccles. iv. i),
these words are best printed without italics, as in
161 1 they are pretty uniformly, e.g. Lev. x. 16.
Deut. XX. 11; xxv. 6, 18; xxix. 29'. In 1638
italics came to be employed in some cases of this
kind, e.g. "//w/ icas buih" Judg. vi. 28; "■ ivhich
is shed" Ps. Ixxix. 10; "she that looketh" Cant,
vi. 10 ; "one that accuseth" John v. 45. We have
retained italics in the last place (perhaps wrongly),
discarding them in the rest. In Judg. xi. 30 marg.
'•that which cometh forth" of 16 11 is properly
changed in 1629 into "-that which cometh forth"
(6) But even if the article be prefixed to an
adjective, the correct practice is to italicise the
words supplied. Thus in 161 1 ''that are wise,"
''that are mighty" Isai. v. 21, 22; "who is holy"
Heb. vii. 26, in which passages there is no article.
In Judg. viii. 15, where the article is found, we
have "that are weary" 1611, "that are weary"
1629, "///(7/rt/-^ weary "1638 correctly. This last
edition is very careful on the point, having rightly
put into italics what had previously been Roman
in I Sam. xv. 9. Neh. iv. 14. Ps. Ixxxv. 12.
Ezek. xxii. 5. Yet in Judg. xvii. 6; .xxi. 25 and
such like passages we adopt (not very consistently)
"that which luas right," to intimate the presence
of the article, as i Sam. ix. 24 in 1638.
(7) In such phrases as "anil it came to pass
...that," if the Hebrew copulative } be not ex-
nite article, as 161 1 has done in rare instances, and 1762 in
Acts xxiv. 5. It is here set in Roman type.
' In the concise style of poetry we have often willingly
overlooked the absence of the article before the present par-
ticiple.
pressed at the beginning of the second clause, its
absence is denoted by italicising " that," which
otherwise would stand in Roman type. This nice
distinction is observed by our Translators with as
much consistency as they display in greater mat-
ters. Thus 16 II in Gen. iv. 14. Ex. xxxiii. 8.
Num. xvi. 7. 2 Kin. xviii. 1. i Chr. xiv. 15.
Esther V. 2. Isai. x. 12, 20, 27; xxiv. 18. So in
1629, Ex. xxxiii. 7. Lev. ix. i. Num. xvii. 5 : in
1638, Neh. iv. 16 : in 1762, Matt. xiii. 53 ; xix. i.
Luke XX. I. Compare Luke v. i, 17; vii. 12;
viii. I, &c. ,
(8) The personal pronoun, when omitted with
the Hebrew infinitive (occasionally with some risk
of ambiguity in the sense), should always, when
supplied in the version, be printed in italics. This
comprehensive rule is abided by in 16 11 Gen. vi.
19, 20 "to keep Mf;« alive ;" Ex. xxx. 12 (second
case, but overlooked in the first), 15; xxxi. 13.
Deut. xxvi. 18. I Kin. xii. 6 ("/" overlooked by
1629 and later Bibles), i Chr. xxviii. 4. 2 Chr.
XXXV. 6. Isai. 1. 4 ("/" again overlooked in 1629
and its successors). Thus also in 1629, Ex. xxviii.
28. Esther iv. 11 : in 1638, Gen. iii. 6. Acts .xii.
19. Rom. xiii. 5 : in 1769, Ex. xxxv. i. Deut.
xxix. 29. Heb. xii. 10.
(9) Where in Hebrew the first of two nouns
is in the state of construction, the word "of" be-
tween them is not italicised in English : but if the
preceding noun be susceptible of a change by
reason of the state of construction, and yet be not
so changed, "of" or its equivalent is italicised.
Compare, for example, Ex. xxxvii. 24 with Ex. xxv.
39. The Masoretic points are necessarily taken
for true under this head.
(10) It would seem natural to italicise "own"
in the expressions "your own," "his own" &c.
where the original has but the simple possessive
pronoun. Yet in 161 1 we find it so wTitten only
in 2 Sam. xviii. 13. Job v. 13 ; ix. 20. Prov. i. 18
{bis). Blayney has "his own" in Gen. i. 27, and
in no other place, as if he shrunk from making
about 200 changes in respect to one word. We
have italicised "own" only in Job xix. 17, where
its presence excludes one very possible sense, and
in Acts xxi. 11, where it is important to mark that
iavTov is not in the text.
(ix) The Hebrew preposition ? " to," with or
without the verb " to be," is considered as equiva-

[sect. IV.
lent, idiom for idiom, with the EngHsh verb " to
have." It is so treated in the book of 1611 usually
(e.g. Gen. xii. 20; xvi. i), but not always (e.g. Gen.
xi. 6 "they have" ver. 30 "she had"). But "per-
tained " in such phrases is always italicised, as
Judg. vi. II in 1611. Hence we would not follow
Scholefield', who reads "what have I" i Cor.
V. 12.
(12) We have adopted, with some hesitation,
Mr Gorle's refined distinction, confirmed by 161 1
in Jer. xli. 16, between int< " after t/iat" and !?"*1QX
"after that;" not however with infinitives, as
2 Chr. xxvi. 2. Jer. xxxvi. 27 ; xl. i.
(13) When in different parts of Scripture a
phrase or expression is given with more or less
fulness, it is right to distinguish the shorter form,
by setting the missing part of it in italics. Exam-
ples are in 16 11 "dead tncn" Ex. xii. 33 ; "mighty
man" Ps. cxx. 4 marg. (compare Ruth ii. i. i Sam.
xiv. 52. Jer. xli. 16 where "man" is expressed):
in 1638, Job xvii. 8, 10. Isai. xxix. 8; xliv. 25: in
1769, Isai. -xli. 2. Again in 1611, "fill with" Gen.

Care, however, should be taken to put in italics no
more than is really wanting : thus in Matt. viii. 25
irpocre\f?di'Tf? ought to be " came to him ;" Matt.
X. I TT/joo-KaXfo-d/ievos " called unto him " as it is
given in 1762, not as the same word is represented
by 1769 in Matt. xv. 32 "called unto him." This
rule extends very widely, and is difficult to be ob-
served with perfect consistency.
(14) The verb substantive is italicised before
the participle passive (Faiil), to distinguish it from
the Niphal conjugation of the verb (e.g. Gen. xxix.
31,33 "was hated" in 1629 Camb.); but more
licence has been granted to the auxiliaries that
render the active participle (Pocl). In Num. x. 29
we have given " we arc journeying," though in
other places the present " is " " are " &c. is in Ro-
man type, but not " was " or " were."
' In the Greek and English New Testament, published
at Cambridge by Professor Scholefield (new edition, 18,^6),
many words were printed in italics for the first time, chiefly
such as bear on our first rule, that regarding pronouns. The
changes he introduced evidence great care, but seem not to
have influenced other editions of the Bible published since
his time.
Such are the principal rules which the Transla-
tors of the Authorized Version designed to follow
in the arrangement of italics for the standard Bible
of 161 1. How little what they printed was sys-
tematically reviewed and corrected in the prepara-
tion of later editions is evident from the numerous
glaring errors, committed by them, which have re-
mained undetected down to this day. The reader
will perceive what is meant by comparing the
present volume with any modern Bible in i Chr.

24; xli. 20. Ps. Iv. 21. Prov. XV. 26. Cant. v. 12.

deed some more recent corrections are positively
false, e.g. 2 Chr. iii. 11 "one wing of the one"
(1638) : Luke X. 30 "man" (1762).
What Blayney intended to do, and seems to have
lacked time for (Appendix D, p. xcviii.), has been re-
garded as a matter of imperative duty by the editor
of the present work. He has made out a full list of
all the changes with respect to italics, in which this
volume differs from his standard, the Cambridge
small pica octavo of 1858, together with such rea-
sons for them as each case might require ; and has
deposited the list for future reference in the Library
of the Syndics of the University Press.
Section IV.
On the system of punctuation adopted in 161 1, and
modified in more recent Bibles.
" The question of punctuation," to employ the
language of the late Professor Grote^ "has two
parts : one, respecting the general carrying it out
for purposes of rhythm and distinction of sentences,
independent of any question as to the meaning of
the words ; the other respecting the particular
cases where different punctuation involves diffe-
rence of meaning." In regard to the first of these
parts, much variety of practice will always exist,

according to the age in which a writer lives, or the
fashion which he has adopted for himself Thus
the edition of i5ii abounds with parentheses'
which are largely discarded in modern Bibles,
wherein commas supply their place, unless indeed
they are left unrepresented altogether. The note
of admiration, which is seldom met with in the
old black-letter copies (wherein the note of in-
terrogation usually stands in its room : e. g. Prov.
xix. 7) is scattered more thickly over Blayney's
pages than the taste of the present times would
approve. Upon the whole, while the system of
recent punctuation is heavier and more elaborate
than necessity requires, and might be lightened to
advantage, as in this volume has been attempted';
that of the standard of 161 1 is too scanty to afford
the guidance needed by the voice and eye in the
act of public reading. " It is a torture to read
aloud from, as those who have had to do it know'."
Grote contrasts it in this particular with a Cam-
bridge edition of 1683, into which more changes
in the stops were admitted than later books cared
to follow, and whose punctuation differs in fact but
little from that in vogue in recent times.
The case in which difference of punctuation
involves difference of meaning cannot be thus
summarily dismissed. Since interpretation is now
concerned, rather than arbitrary liking or conveni-
ence, the principles laid down in the First Section
are strictly applicable here (pp. x., xiv.). The stops
found in the original ought not to be altered un-
less the sense they assign be not merely doubtful,
but manifestly wrong*. Modern changes, if still
abided by, should be scrupulously recorded, and
their retention can be justified only by the con-
sideration that it is at once pedantic and improper
to restore errors of the standard Bible which have
once been banished out of sight. The following
list will be found to contain all divergencies of
' In Synd. A. 3. 14, these marks of parenthesis often
seem to have been inserted with a pen, in places where the
Oxford reprint lias them.
- For instance, in such expressions as "and behold,"
" and lo," '• for lo," we omit the comma set by Blayney, &c. ,
between the two words.

* Thus no stronger stop than a colon (as in 161 1) is
proposed after "Jesaiah", i Chr. iii. 21, though Dr Pusey's
view seems veiy maintainable {Book of Daniel, p. 300), that
quite another line than Zeinibbabel's now follows.
punctuation from that prevailing in recent editions,
not being too insignificant to deserve special notice,
which can be supposed to influence the sense.
They naturally divide themselves into two classes,
those which are, and those which are not, counte-
nanced by the two issues of 161 1.
I. The stops of 16 II are retained in prefer-
ence to those of later Bibles, there being no strong
reason to the contrar)', in
Gen. xxxi. 40, " Thus I was in the" day, the drought
consumed me," 1611, after Masoretic stops, LXX., Vulg.,
against the Bishops', 1638— 1769, moderns, who have
" Thus I was; (, 1638—176?) in the day the drought con-
sumed me." Lev. iv. 2, " {conct-rriin;^ things which ought
not to be done)." Here 1769 and the moderns reject the
parenthesis of the earlier books, which, though not found
in vv. 13, 22, 27, tends to relieve a hard construction.
Joshua iii. 16, "very far, from thecity Adam," 1611 — 1630.
In 1629 Camb. and subsequent editions the comma after
"far" is removed, but the other distribution is not less
probable, i Kin. xii. 32, " and he" offered upon the altar (so
did he in Bethel,) 1; sacrificing." The moderns, after 1769,
punctuate "and heil offered upon the altar. So did he
in Bethel, li sacrificing :" against the Hebrew stops, Zakeph-
iatoii standing over both "altar" and "Bethel;" and
rendering the margin (which provides for 7j?.'l, being the
Kal rather than the Hiphil conjugation) quite unintel-
ligible, xix. 5, "behold then, an angel" (njTI.iini):
"behold, then an angel," 1769, moderns. Neh. ix. "4,
" upon the stairs of the Levites," (0*1711 TOVITTS.) : " upon
the stairs, of the Levites," 1769, moderns, ver. 5, " Jeshua
and Kadmicl," (cf. Ezra ii. 40): "Jesliua, and Kadmiel,"
1769, modems. Job xix. 28, "persecute we him?. ..found
in me." 161 1 — 1617. But 1629 Lond., 1630 place (?) also
after "me:" 1629 Camb., 1638, moderns, transfer the
second clause into the oralio oHiqtia ' ' persecute we him, . . .
found in me?" xxxi. 30. This verse is rightly set in a
parenthesis in 161 1 — 1744, which 1762, modems, remove,
xxxiii. 5, " If thou canst, answer me," as in ver. 32. The
first comma is removed in 1629 Camb. (not 1629 Lond.,
1630) and all modern books. xl. 24 marg. " or bore,'
i6n : "or bore" 1629, 1638, Bagster 1846. But 1744,
176:, moderns, "or, fore," quite absurdly. Psalm ii.
12, "but a little: Blessed," 1611 — 1744, "but a little.
Blessed," 1762 mod.' Ixxix. 5, "wilt thou be angry, for
ever?" Cf Ps. xiii. i ; Ixxxix. 46. The comma is re-
moved by 1616 (not 1617, 1630), 1629 Camb., &c. ver.
II, "come before thee. According to the greatness of thy
' The two lines of the couplet are closely connected, as
the parallelism shews. Here, and in some other places
(notably in Ps. iii. 5 ; l.xiv. 7), the Masoretic punctuation is
at variance with the poetical stracture. So in Ps. xl. 12,
Ribiah has tempted 1762 to change the comma after " head "
into a semicolon, 1769 and the moderns into a colon, where

Hebrew punctuation, "come before thee; According to
the greatness of thy power (, 1762 only) Preserve thou"
1769, moderns, very boldly, though approved by Canon
Perowne. Ixxxix. 46, " How long. Lord', wilt thou hide
thyself, forever?" The third comma is removed in 1629,
London and Camb. (not 1630), 1638, 1744, 1769 mod. In
1762 this comma is strengthened into a semicolon. Prov. i.
27. The final colon of 161 1 — 1630 is clearly prefer.able to
the full stop of 1629 Camb., moderns, xix. 2. Restore the
comma before "sinneth" discarded in 1762: also in xxi. 28,
that before "speaketh," removed in 1769: both these for
the sake of perspicuity, xxx. ifin. The full stop is changed
into a comma by 1769 mod. Eccles. ii. 3, "(yet acquainting
mine heart with wisdom)." In 1769 mod. the marks of
parenthesis are rejected, and a semicolon placed after
"wisdom." Cant. vii. 9, ", For my beloved, that" i6n,
iS:c. (", For my beloved that," 1629 Lond., 1630: almost
preferable; cf. Heb.): "For my beloved, that" 1769,
moderns, viii. 2, ", of the juice" 1611 — 1630: "of the
juice" 1629 Camb., 1638, &c. Isai. xxiv. 14, "they shall
sing,". The comma is found only in 161 1 (Oxford reprint,
not .Synd. A. 3. 14), and acknowledged by Vulg. and Field
(" jubilabunt ;") as representing the Hebrew ^M«o/{'^. xlviii.
12, ",0 Jacob, and Israel my called;" 1611 — 1630. But
1629 Camb. 1638 place commas after "Israel," 1769 and
the moderns join "Jacob and Israel," against the Hebrew
stops. Lam. ii. 4, "pleasant to the eye," (cf. Heb. stop):
1769 mod. remove the comma, iv. 15, " , when they
fled away and wandered:" (, for : in 1769 mod.). Hosea
vii. II, "a silly dove, without heart." In 1629 Camb.
and the moderns, the comma (which represents the Hebrew
accent) is removed, as if "without heart" referred exclu-
sively to the dove. Hagg. i. i, 12, 14; ii. 2, remove
comma of 1769 mod. after " Josedech." Cf. Zech. i. i.
2 Esdr. viii. 39, " and the reward that they shall have."
[d salvationis et mcrccdis receptlonis, Vulg., but et salutis^
ct rcdpiendcs mcrcedis Junius): but 1762 mod. place a comma
after " reward," as if rcceptioitis of Vulg. belonged also to
salvationis. xii. 2, " and behold, the head that remained,
and the four wing . appeared no more." In 1762 a comma
is inserted after "wings:" in 1769 mod. both commas are
removed. There is a pause in the sense after " remained,"
such as a semicolon would perhaps better represent, before the
vision in ch. xi. 18, &c., is repeated. Judith iv. 6, " toward the
open country near to Dothaim (/vara irpoffhiirov rod iredlou toO
irX-qalov AuSaf/i, LXX.). Here 1629 Camb., 1630, &e., insert
a comma before "near." viii. g, 10. In 1769 mod. the
marks of parenthesis are withdrawn, to the detriment of
perspicuity, xiv. 17, "After, he went" {koX elafi\8ev,
LXX.): 1629 Camb. (not 1630), 1638 mod. remove the
necessary comma. Ecclus. xxxvii. 8, "(For he will counsel
for himself):" 1769 mod. reject the marks of parenthesis,
setting a semicolon after "himself", ver. 11, " , of finishing"
(iripl avvTe\da%, LXX.): 1769 mod. obscure the sense by
rejecting the comma. Baruch vi. 40, "that they are gods?"
In 1629, &c., " gods," the interrogation being thrown on the
end of the verse. But compare the refrains ver. 44, 52, 56,
1 So read instead of " Lord ?" of 1 769 mod. The printed
text of the present volume is inconsistent as it stands.
65, to justify our arrangement of the paragraph, i Mace,
vi. 51, "to cast darts, and slings." The comma is removed
in 1638 mod.
S. Matt. ix. 20 — 22, are inclosed in a parenthesis by
1611 — 1762, which 1769 rejects^. S. Mark iii. 17, and v. 41.
The marks of parenthesis (of which 1769 mod. make too
clean a riddance) are restored from 161 1 — 1762. S. John
ii. 15, "and the sheep and the oxen," thus keeping the
animals distinct from iravra^ ("them aU...with the sheep
and oxen," Bishops'). In 1630 (not 1638, 1743), 1762 mod.,
a comma intrudes after "sheep." xviii. 3, "a band 0/
men, and officers," iCii — 1762, thus distinguishing the
Roman cohort from the Jewish virriperai [Arc/il>. Trench).
In 1769 mod. the comma is lost. Acts xi. 26, " taught much
people, and the disciples were called," 1611 — 1630: both
verbs depending on eyivero. Yet 1638 — 1743 substitute a
semicolon for the comma, while 1762 mod. begin a new-
sentence after " people," as if the editors had never glanced
at the Greek, xviii. 18, "and Aquila: having shorn his
head ", Paul being the person referred to in Kcipd/icvos. By
changing the colon into a semicolon, 1762 mod. render this
more doubtful. Rom. i. 9, " , always in my prayers," 161 1,
1612, 1613. The first comma is removed in 1629 Camb.
and London, 1630, &c. : the second changed into a semi-
colon by 1769 mod. Cf. i Thess. i. 2; Philem. 4. iv.
I, "Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh," 1611
■ — 1762. In 1769 mod. the comma is transferred from after
"father" to before "our." v. 13—17, were first inclosed in a
parenthesis by 1769, which is followed by all modems, even
by the American Bible of 1867, though the American revisers
of 1 85 1 (see p. xxiii.) had removed it. It is worse than useless,
inasmuch as it interrupts the course of the argument,
viii. 33y?«. The colon of 1611 — 1762 is almost too great
a break, yet 1769 mod. substitute a full stop. The semicolon
of 7V;t' /^s^r C/tv^/«('« is quite sufficient, xv. 7, "received
us," 161 1 — 1743. The comma is removed in 1762 mod.
I Cor. vii. s, "prayer," 1611 — 1630. But 1638 mod. sub-
stitute a semicolon for the comma, as if to drive us to take
the various reading awipx^aO^ of Beza 1598 (see App. E,
p. civ.), and the Elzevirs, viii. 7, "with conscience of the idol
unto this hour," 1611 — 1762, as if the reading fus cT^ti toC
eiSiiXou were accepted, ("with the yet abiding consciousness
of the idol,") or cf. Phil. i. 26, and Prof. Moulton's IViner,
p. 584. In 1769 mod. the comma is deleted. 2 Cor. xiii. 2,
"as if I were present the second time," i6n — 1762. In
1769 mod. a comma is put in after "present," through an ob-
vious misconception. Eph. iii. 2 — iv. i "of the Lord," is
wrongly set in a parenthesis by 1769 mod. (not American,
1867). Rather connect ch. iii. i with ver. 14. Phil. i. 11,
" by Jesus Christ unto the glory..." In 1762 mod. a comma
is inserted before "imto." Col. ii. 11, "of the flesh, "the two
clauses beginning with iv T17 being parallel (cf. var. Iccl.),
so that 1762 mod. wrongly remove the comma after " flesh."
I Thess. iii. 7 ", by your faith" i6ii — 1630, but 1629
London and Camb. and all after them wrongly omit the
comma. 2 Thess. i. 8, " in flaming fire," 161 1 — 1762, connect-
ing the words with kv t-q diroKaXv^ei, ver. 7. In 1769 mod.
' The parenthesis is absent from the parallel passage of
S. Mark. It is not so much wanted in Luke viii. 42 — 48^ but
we retain it from 1611 — 1743, though 1762 mod. reject it.

INTRODUCTION.

the comma is absent. Titus ii. 8, "sound speecli that can-
not..." The comma after "speech" in 1769 mod. obscures,
rather than helps, the English. ver. 12, "teaching us that
denying ungodliness and worldly lusts we should live..."
Thus the sentence rans in the O.xford reprint of 161 1 and in
1612, and this is the safest plan in such a construction, but
Synd. A. 3. 14 places a comma after "lusts," and is followed
by 1613 and the rest. In 1629 Camb., &c. another comma is
set after "us," which 1769 mod. do not improve upon by
transposing it to after "that." Heb. ii. 9, "lower than the
angels," In 1769 mod. this comma is removed, so as to
compel Vi% to take 5ia to TrddTifi.a tov Bavdrov with the pre-
ceding clause, to which it hardly seems to belong, iii. 7 — 11.
Reject the marks of parenthesis introduced into modern
Bibles in 1769. The American Bible of 1867 has them not.
X. 12, "for ever, sat down." So 1611 — 1630, plainly re-
jecting "is set down for ever" of Bishops' Bible. This
arrangement is supported by our standard Cambridge edition
of i8.;8, and the American (1867), Bp. Christ. Wordsworth,
&.C., and is surely safer than "for ever sat down" of
1638 — 1769 and most moderns, xii. 23. Restore the comma
of 161 1 — 30 after " assembly ". xiii. 7. Restore the full stop
of 161 1 at the end of this verse, which 1762 mod. change to
a colon. 2 Pet. ii. 14. The Greek compels us to reject the
comma after "adultery" of 1743. mod. Jude 7, "the cities
about them, in like manner.. ." The comma after " them " is
injudiciously removed by 1638, 1699 (not 1743), while 1762
mod. increase the error by placing it after " in like manner."
It would be endless, and answer no good pur-
pose, to enumerate all the cases wherein minute
but real improvements in the punctuation, intro-
duced into editions subsequent to 161 1, have been
universally acquiesced in (e.g. Jer. xvii. 3 ; Dan.
xi. 18 ; Bel & Drag. ver. 10; Matt. xi.x. 4; Rom.
ii. 13 — 15; I Pet. v. 13). Some very strange
oversights of the standard Bible, in this as in other
particulars (see pp. x., xl.), were permitted to hold
their place quite late. Thus in John xii. 20 "And
there were certain Greeks among them, that came
up to worship at the feast:" the intrusive comma
lingered till 1769. The comma, which originally
stood after "about midnight," Acts .x.xvii. 27, was
removed and set after " Adria " later than 1638. In
regard to weightier matters, the comma put by
1611 after "God" in Titus ii. 13 is fitly removed
by 1769 mod., that "the great God and our
Saviour" may be seen to be joint predicates of
the same Divine Person. Luke xxiii. 32 affords
us a rare instance of an important change in the
stops subsequent to 1769 (we have not been able
to trace it up earlier than D'Oyly and Mant's Bible
1817) "And there were also two other malefactors,"
where recent editors insert a comma before " male-
factors ", in order to obviate the possibility of mis-
take in the meaning of a phrase which is rather
Greek than English. They were rightly unwilUng
to adopt the alternative of changing the plural
"other" into "others," as the American Bible
(1867) has unfortunately done'. The following
chief additional changes in punctuation made in
this volume, like those affecting the text itself
(Appendix A, p. Ixxxiii.), though usually sanctioned
by respectable authority, occasionally by some of
our own Bibles, must ultimately depend on their
own merits for justification.
II. Passages in which the stops, as well of
161 1 as of most later Bibles, have been altered in
the present volume.
Ex. xi. 1 — 3 we have placed within a parenthesis,
thus referring ver. 4 to ch. x. 29: Josh. vi. i might well
be treated in the same manner. Josh. xv. i, "amt to the
border of Edora " is better followed by a comma, as in
1762, than by the semicolon of 161 1 — 1744: both stops are
removed in 1769. i Kin. vii. 19, and x.\i. 25, 26, should be
set in parentheses, so as to connect closely the preceding and
following verses in either case. xxi. 20. With 1617 (only)
place a comma at the end of this verse, the protasis begin-
ning with iV*, ver. 20, the apodosis with 'JJil, ver. 21, just
as in ch. xx. 36. Cf. also ch. xx. 42; x.\i. 29. 2 Kin. xv.
25. Set a semicolon after Arieh, in place of the comma of
161 1, &c. The "him " following refers to "Pekah," not to
" Arieh." So Tremellius after Heb.- Job iv. 6. See
Appendix A. p. Ixxiii. vi. 10, " Vea, I would harden myself
in sorrow ; let him not spare :" forms one line in the
stichometry (Z>t'///sic/i). This does not appear in 161 1 — 1744,
which set a comma after " spare, " or in 1762 mod., which
punctuate " : let him not spare." xxviii. 3. Lighten the
colon of 161 1, &c., after "perfection" into a comma. "The
stones" is governed by " scarcheth out," whether we con-
sider nv3ri"?37 to be used adverbially, or no. Ps. cv. 6,
"Ye children of Jacob, his chosen." Unless the comma
be inserted, "his chosen" would not be understood as plural.
' Luke X. I is exactly parallel in this use of other, but
that antiquated plural is very common in our version ; Josh,
viii. 22; xii. 19; 2 Sam. ii. 13; i Esdr. vii. 6; 2 Esdr. x.
6, 57; xi. 18; xvi. 22; Tobit vi. 14; WLsd. xi. 10, 13;
2 Mace. vii. 34; xi. 7, 11, 20; Matt, xxiii. 23; Luke xi. 16,
42; xviii. 9; John xix. 18; Acts xvii. 9 (but others ver. 34);
I Cor. xiv. 29 ; 2 Cor. xiii. 2 ; Phil. i. 1 7 ; ii. 3 ; iv. 3,
most of which remain unchanged in modern Bibles.
2 In Neh. xii. 24, we have substituted a semicolon instead
of a full stop at the end of the verse, and perhaps ought to
have changed the comma after Obadiah, ver. 25, into a colon.
It would seem from i Chr. ix. 15 — 17 ; ch. xi. 17 — 19, that
the list of the singers ends with Obadiah, that of the porters
begins with Meshullam.

SECT. IV.
In I Chr. xvi. 13, a comma is inserted by 1769 mod. without
much need. Ps. cvii. 35. End in a semicolon: yet all our
Bibles have a full stop. Ps. cviii. 5, 6. All our Bibles
except that of the Tract Society (i86i)join these two verses,
which seems an impossible arrangement (Perowne). Sub-
stitute a full stop for the colon of 161 1 (which is made a
semicolon by 1629 Camb. and the moderns) at the end of
ver. 5, and a semicolon for the colon after " delivered," as
161 1 has in Ps. Ix. 5. Prov. vi. 2. Since this verse, as well
as ver. i, is plainly hypothetical (Bp. Christ. IVordrwort/i), in
spite of LXX., Vulg. and Tremellius, a comma must take the
place of the full stop of 1611, &c. after "mouth." viii. 2,
" high places by the way." Transfer the comma of 161 1 from
after "place" to after "way." Eccles. iv. i, "and behold,"
1629 Camb. — 1762. In 1769 mod. the comma is removed
though it is really wanted. Even the Hebrew has a distinc-
tive mark (') here. Cant. iii. 2, " In the streets and in the
broad ways," So LXX., the Hebrew punctuation and
parallelism. In 161 1, &c., the comma is transferred to a
place after "streets," thus joining the second clause with
what follows. Isai. xi. 11, "his people, Which shall be left
from Assyria," So the Hebrew stops, the analogy of ver.
16 (recognized by 1611 — 1762, not by 1769 mod.), LXX.,
Vulg., Lowth, Field: "his people that shall be left, from
Assyria" 161 1 — 1762: in 1769 mod. another comma follows
" people." xxxii. 9. This verse is a distich, the true
division of which after " voice " is plainer in Hebrew than in
English. It is variously punctuated in our Bibles, but all
agree in suggesting a false division into three lines, ending
respectively at "ease," "daughters," "speech." x.\xviii. 10,
"I said," All insert the comma in ver. 11. Jer. xlviii. 29.
Instead of the parenthesis which encloses " he is exceeding
proud " in all our Bibles, substitute a semicolon before, a
colon after the words, as in Isai. xvi. 6 in 1762 mod. Ezek.
V. 6, "my judgments, and my statutes." The comma,
imperatively required by the Hebrew, was inserted in 1629
(both editions) — 1762, discarded in 1769 mod. xxi. 29, "that
are slain of the wicked." The comma after " slain " , appar-
ently employed by 1611, &c., to aid the voice, fails to repre-
sent the status coiistructus of the Hebrew, xlvi. 18, "by
oppression to thrust them out " renders a single Hebrew
word {opprcssione ddurhatido COS., Trem. ). Yet 1611 — 1630
separate the English by placing a comma after "oppression,"
which 1762 mod. restore after it had been rejected by 1629
Camb., 1744. xlviii. 30, "of the city:" So the Hebrew
stops. The Bishops' Bible and 161 1 — 1630 have a comma
after "city," which 1629 Camb. and the modems omit alto-
gether (cf. U'ordyworth). Hosea ix. 15, "in Gilgal :" the
colon of 161 1 and the rest is too strong for the sense and
the Hebrew accent, xii. 10. Remove the comma of 161 1,
&c., after "simiUtudes." Cf. Heb. Micah vi. 5, " ; From
Shittim", the inserted semicolon representing the Hebrew
Athnakh (cf. Wordsworth]. The BishoiJs' Bible separates these
words from the preceding, though only by a comma'.

161 1 we have " as a dove:" in 1630 ", as a dove:" against the
Latin. In 1762 mod. " , as a dove ", but our way seems safer,
vii. 42, " is not the end, where..." Without the inserted
comma, our version is hardly intelligible; in eo so. saculo,

cedent to " which." xvii. II — 13. Place these verses within
a parenthesis. Prayer of Manasses, 11. 17, 18, " : Thou,
O Lord,..." The very long English sentence is so constructed
(diflerently from the Greek, this Prayer having been ren-
dered from the Old Latin, see p. xxvii.), that the apodosis does
not begin before this point; yet 161 1 and all its suc-
cessors put a full stop before " Thou." We have adopted
a colon from the Bishops' Bible, i Mace. vi. 36, " every
occasion, wheresoever the beast was :" far preferable to
" every occasion : wheresoever the beast was," of i6u, &c.

In 1762 mod. the false punctuation of 1611 — 1630 is revived

35 — 42 in a parenthesis. x. i, "Antiochus, siirnamed
Epiphanes" 6 ein<j>avrji, the comma after " Antiochus" dis-
tinguishing the text from that of Josephus, namely tou iirupa-
cous, as mentioned in the margm. 2 Mace. x. 29, " men upon
horses with bridles of gold " (€0' 'lttttuiv xp^'^oxo.Mviav difSpts).
In i6ii, &c.,a comma, worse than idle, is set after "horses."
xiii. 2, " a Grecian power, of footmen, &c." In 161 1, &c.,
we have " a Grecian power of footmen" ".
S. Matt. xix. 28, " which have followed me, in the
regeneration, when, &c." So 1630 alone of our old Bibles,
with Nourse (Paragraph Bible, Boston, 1836), Bagster 1846,
Scholefield (English), Lachmann, Tischendorf, Tregelles.
This is at any rate the safest course. The second comma
is wanting in 161 1, 1612, 1613, 1616, 1617, 1629 London,
most modern Bibles, D'Oyly and Mant (1817), Tract Society's
(1S61), Blackadder (1864), American (1867), Newberry
(1870), and Alford's. The first comma is absent in the
Bishops' Bible, the books from 1629 (Camb.) to 1769,
and Scholefield's Greek text. S. Luke i. 55, " (As he
spake to our fathers)". Thus with Nourse, the Tract
Society, and Blackadder (see last note), indicate by a
parenthesis the change of construction. Ver. 70 is also
parenthetic'. Acts xxiii. 8, "neither angel nor spirit:"
Even though the trae reading be /n^7-e...jui;re instead of
/i.riSi...iiriTe, angel and spirit comprehend together one class,
resurrection the other, the two classes together comprising
aixtjioTepa. The comma after "angel" in 161 1 — 1630,
abolished by 1629 (both editions) — 1743, is restored in 1762
' Yet it must be confessed that the Roman edition reads
Itririh immediately afterwards, while our punctuation repre-
sents linriuiv^ of Codex Alexandrinus.
^ It would be well also to place Acts i. iS, 19 within a
parenthesis, even though the words be still regarded as
S. Peter's. It is quite possible that the citation in ver. 20 is
appealed to in ver. 16.

mod. Rom. viii. 20, " , in hope." We can hardly do
more in this doubtful passage, than relax the connection
of fir' cXtt/oi with what precedes, by inserting the comma
before it, and lightening the stop after it from a colon to a
comma, as in 1769 mod. xi. 8, from "according" to "hear"
is rightly set in a parenthesis in 1769, as approved by the
F'ive Clei-gymen. i Cor. xvi. 22. See Appendix A, p. Ixxxii.,
note 4. 2 Cor. v. 2, " we groan, earnestly desiring..." The
adverb is doubtless intended to represent the intensive force
of the preposition in eTriiroSoiJn-cs (rendered cozietiiig by
Wickliffe, but simply desiring by the later versions), so that
this punctnation, first found by Prof. Grote in Field's small
8vo. (not in his i2mo.) Bible of 1660, but afterwards lost
sight of, is that to be received, although through mere
oversight, rather than with a view to render iiigemiscimus
of the Vulgate, the comma is placed after, not before,
" earnestly" in 1611 — 1762, the final correction being due to
1769, from which the modems adopt it. ver. 19, "God
was in Christ reconciling..." All the Bibles from i6iidown-
wards, except that of 17+3, insert a comma after " Christ".
Eph. iv. 12, " for the perfecting of the saints for the work
of the ministry, for..." (7r/)6s...fis...ei!). The comma of 1611,
&c., after "saints" w-ould be tolerable if the three prepo-
sitions were truly parallel. Phil. ii. 15, "the sons of God
without rebuke," The comma set after " God " in 161 1, &c.,
would inevitably suggest a different gender for d^w/iijra or
iiiwua. Col. ii. 2, " of God and of the Father and of
Christ." The received text can hardly stand here, but the
translation (taken verbatim from the Bishops' Bible) is
unquestionably very inferior to that of Tyndale, Coverdale,
the Great Bible and Geneva (1557), "of God the Father,
and of Christ." The Bishops' and our own Bibles from
161 1 downwards, make bad worse by adding a comma
after "God". Heb. iv. 6, 7, "unbelief, ag<iin..." The
apodons begins with iraXiv. This is not so apparent if with
i6ii, S:c., we set a colon after "unbelief", vii. 5, "they
that are of the sons of Levi who receive the office of the
priesthood..." The comma set after " Levi " by 1611, &c.,
might suggest the inference that all Levites were priests.
2 Pet. i. I — 5. All our Bibles, following 1611 in their
arrangement, place a comma at the end of ver. 2, a full stop
at the end of ver. 4. Yet it seems evident that \-v. i, 2 form
a separate paragraph, as Nourse, the Tract Society, Black-
adder ^see abovi), Wordsworth, and Tisdiendorf represent
them ; and if ver. 3 must be connected with ver. 5 (Moulton's
IVi'ier, p. 771), a colon suffices at the end of ver. 4. ii. 22,
"and. The sow", a new proverb beginning. Thus 1638 — 1762,
American 1867, but 1769 mod. return to "and the sow" of
1611 — 1630. Rev. viii. 12. Remove the stop, whether
colon (161 1 — 1630) or comma (1638 mod.), after "darkened",
since the following verb also is governed by Xva.
As the result of his investigations on this sub-
ject Prof. Grote infers that " With respect to the
punctuation in general, independently of its affect-
ing the meaning of particular passages, it is, in the
editions before 1638, comparatively little ^rir^wa/fiy,
colons and semicolons being much fewer in num-
ber than commas, and full stops That edition
made the punctuation much more graduated, and
introduced one practice not common in the earlier
ones, that of a full stop in the middle of a verse."
"The. graduation of the punctuation; i.e. the placing
of colons and semicolons, is not materially differ-
ent in Blayney's edition (1769) from what it was in
that of 1683. This latter(which is pointed,as printers
say, very low) improved greatly in this respect
upon 1638, as 1638 had improved upon the earlier
ones'."
Section V.
On the oiiJwgraphy, grammatical peculiarities, and
capital letters of the original, as compared with
modern editions.
One of the salient points which distinguish
the early editions of our Bibles from those of
modern date, is their wide divergency of practice
in regard to modes of spelling. It would be
nothing remarkable, but rather analogous to what
we observe in the case of all modern and probably
of some ancient languages, that the customary
orthography, even of very familiar words, should
vary considerably at different periods of their lite-
rary history-. But this is not the pha^nomenon we
have mainly to account for in regard to English
books printed in the si.xtecnth and seventeenth
centuries. Judged by them, it would hardly be ex-
travagant to assert that our ancestors had no uni-
form system of orthography whatsoever, since diere
are comparatively few words, except a few parti-
cles of perpetual occurrence, that are not spelt in
several fashions in the same book, on the same
page, sometimes even in the same line^ The
1 Grote MS. pp. 8.^— 85, where will also be found some
interesting matter, rather foreign to our immediate purpose,
on the gradual disuse in our Bibles of what the writer calls
" the aaural comma, a comma dividing any longish propo-
sition into two balancing parts, and distirguishing the main
members of it from each other, as the voice very frequently
does, so that the comma marks a real vocal pause." Just
as, for instance, there is a comma m John v. 23, after
the second "Son" in 161 1— 1743. which 1762 and the
moderns discard. Nor ought the editor to quit the subject
of the present Section williout rendering his best thanks to
the Rev. G. C. Waller, M.A., and R.N., for the use of some
acute and weighty notes on the punctuation of the Epistles, in
the course of which that gentleman is frequently found to
advocate a return to the practice of 1611, ifithout being
aware of the fact.

licence extended, as is well known, even to proper
names: men of the highest culture (Shakespeare
for a conspicuous example, if we give credit to
certain biographers) varying the orthography of
their own signatures in three or four several ways.
This circumstance affords a conclusive answer to
the demand that has sometimes been urged by ill-
informed persons, that our modem Bibles should
be e.xact reprints of the standard of 1611 ; and it
was partly to silence such a demand that the Ox-
ford reprint of 1833 was undertaken. A glance at
that volume must have convinced any reasonable
person that more recent editors were right in the
main in gradually clearing the sacred page of un-
couth, obsolete, and variable forms, which could
answer no purpose save to perplex the ignorant,
and offend the educated taste; whether the judg-
ment of those who are responsible for the Bibles
of 1762 and 1769 (for these were the great and
most thorough modemisers) was always as true as
might be wished for, we shall have to consider in
the sequel.
The general rule laid down in the preparation
of the present volume is a very simple one : —
whensoever an English word is spelt in the two
issues of 161 1 in two or more different ways, to
adopt in all places that method which may best
agree with present usage, even though it is not
so found in the majority of instances in the older
books. Thus though charet is the form employed in
at least nineteen places out of twenty, we have uni-
formly taken chariot as in Ecclus. xlix. 8 ; i Mace,
i. 17; viii. 6. Kitircdis probably the correct mode
of spelling, and is by far the most frequent in
the standard Bible, yet we abide by kindred, as it
Language, Lect. XX. p. 313) ascribes the variation of spell-
ing in the same line to the mere convenience of the piinter.
Caldwell {Oxford Bidlcs, p. 4) had taken the same view
before him. To Marsh's example, ttjfg sijnll lit IdSdix togt^
tl)rt, tljcg sljal, Isai. xlii. 17, many might be added, e.g.

from BctD, anS tljr rarti) is stairB, Hagg. i. 10, without coming
nearer to a solution of the problem. A word is often dif-
ferently spelt in the text and margin, as in Gen. iii. 16,
where Coverdale has " huszbande " in the body of his version,
" husbande " in the foot-note. Nor is the date of a writer
any safe criterion. The best manuscripts of Chaucer, and
especially of Gowei-, and the Paston letters, written about
1470, approach nearer our present standard of speUing than
the Bible of 161 1 (Marsh, p. 312).
is found in Ecclus. xiv. 4 ; 2 Mace. v. 9 ; i Tim.
V. 8 inarg. We take caterpillar from Joel i. 4;
elsewhere in 1611 it is caierpiller. Cieled 3x16. del-
ing are. due to the Cambridge Bible of 1629, sided
and siding being the forms of 16 11 in all the eight
places where they occur: possibly the American
ceiled and ceiling would be better, as the root seems
to be ca:lo, not del. Again, forrest occurs every-
where else, but forest Isai. xxi. 13. For fain, the
ordinary form, we see feigti in Neh. vi. 8 only.
Ghest occurs mostly, as in Matt. xxii. 10, \ivA. guests
in ver. 11. Iron appears in Ecclus. xxxviii. 28,
instead oi yron, the common fonn. Linen is found
I Kin. x. 28; I Esdr. iii. 6, but linnen elsewhere.
Miter is almost constant in 161 1, yet we adopt
mitre from Ex. xxxix. 3 1 ; Zech. iii. 5. We find
oake Josh. xxiv. 26, elsewhere oke. Between burden,
murder, household, and burthen, murthcr, houshold,
the usage is more divided: we prefer the former.
Pedegree occurs thrice, but pedigree in Heb. vii. 3
marg., 6 marg. Pelican appears in Ps. cii. 6,
elsewhere pdlicane or pdlican. After 16 11, in
Ecclus. xxxviii. 25 we give plough for the noun,
but plow for the verb and its compounds in
the 26 places where it occurs: the American
(1867) hSiS plough always. Pray (prseda) is almost
always used, but prey Job ix. 26. Again, sur-
feited, the modem form, occurs only AVisd. v. 7
marg, surfeiting, &c. elsewhere. AVe find profane
in E^ek. .\xiii. 38, 39; i Mace. iii. 51; 2 Mace.
vi. 5 ; Acts xxiv. 6 : elsewhere the incorrect pro-
pltane. Instead of renowned (Num. i. 16; Ezek.
xxvi. 17; I Mace. iii. 9; v. 63; vi. i) we oftener
meet with reno7vmed (Ecclus. .xliv. 3, &c.). Such
examples might be multiplied indefinitely. On
the other hand, for the modem scent, we have
boldly printed sent, following the ordinary, if not
universal practice of the seventeenth century, in-
asmuch as sent is true to the etymology, and is
invariably used in all the five places where the
word occurs. Job xiv. 9; Isai. xi. 3 marg.; Jer.
.xlviii. 11; Hos. xiv. 7; Wisd. xi. 18. For omitting
the c in scythe we have good authority, as well as
the practice of our Translation in the margins of Isai.
ii. 4; Jer. 1. 16; Joel iii. 10; Mic. iv. 3. We must
return toryifof i6ri, which occurs but twice (Ex. ix.
32; Isai. xxviii. 25), though rie is in both Bibles of
1629. Probably, too, lancers should have been
restored in i Kin. xviii. 28 : it came from the

Bishops' Bible (/a/aiscrs), but occurs nowhere else,
and was not altered into lancets before 1762. For
andirons Ezek. xl. 43 tnarg. (which is etymologically
true) 1638, 1769 and the moderns have endirons;
end irons of 1 744, 1762 is a bad guess. The Bishops'
margin has trevets. Another word, used but once,
is ebeny, Ezek. xxvii. 15, which is so spelt both in
Hebrew and Greek: ebony of the moderns is more
recent than 1638. Thus, too, iurbaiif, Dan. iii.
21 7narg. only, the form adopted by Milton and
Dryden, was not changed into turbans before
1762. So imbers, Tobit vi. 16 marg. Since sailer,
Rev. xviii. 17, is pronounced by Johnson to be
more analogical than sailor, and held the ground
till after 1638, we have taken courage to revive
it. In Nahum ii. 4 aXsojiistle of 161 1 is restored,
instead oi jostle of some moderns. Of words met
with but twice, ambassage Luke xiv. 32 is adopted
rather than embassage i Mace. xiv. 23 ; scrole, Isai.
xxxiv. 4, is preferred to scroivle, Rev. vi. 14; but
it is not possible to take either champion, Deut. xi.
30, or champian, Ezek. xxxvii. 2 marg.; either mu-
sitian, Ecclus. .\x.\ii. 4, or tnusition. Rev. xviii. 22;
or sclwller as in i Chr. xxv. 8; Mai. ii. 12. Nor
would anker, ballance, threed, suit the modem eye,
although they are never met with in what to us
appears the only correct form.
The same liberty has been taken in regard to
soldier and vinegar, which the standard Bibles, con-
trary to their derivation, invariably spell souldier and
vineger. What is spelt liaply in five other places,
in 161 1 was happily 2 Cor. ix. 4 (ttws): though
changed in both books of 1629, happily via.?, brought
back in 1630, but can hardly hold its ground. The
particle of comparison titan is uniformly then in the
Bible of 161 1, as in many books far into the seven-
teenth century: this fashion, of course, could not be
imitated now. Although saphir or saphire or saphyrc
does not vary in the same Bibles, the original w-ill not
dispense with pph. Nor have we retained cabbins,
used but once, Jer. xxxvii. 16 : though we have
ventured upon fauchin of 1611, Judith xiii. 6; xvi.
9. The strange form chawes iox jaws Ezek. xxix. 4
suggests a questionable etymology. Traffique (the
verb used once, the noun four times) and traffi-
quers Isai. xxiii. 8 have also been refused '.
1 In regard to the spelling of Proper names, absolute
uniformity has not been aimed at, but the Hebrew has been
Those English words which, whether from cus-
tom or difference of origin, vary in their significa-
tion according to the modes in which they are
severally spelt, are invariably confused in the
standard Bible. Travel and travail afford a familiar
example of the fact, inasmuch as the fault has
not yet been completely removed from modern
editions, e.g. Num. xx. 14 where travel of 1629
(Camb.) .and recent Bibles, though the Hebrew
is nx^ljin, would Just make sense, and has been
substituted for travail of i6ii. In Wisd. x. 10
also the latest Bibles, after that of 1629, errone-
ously render yno'x^ots by travels, in the room of
travails of 161 1. In Lam. iii. 5 travel is given
for i^?5''?> as in Num. xx. 14, in all the books from
1611 to the American (1867) which has travail:
although many like errors of the original edition
have been corrected by its successors. The case be-
tween twined and twinned is stated below (.Appen-
dix B, p. Ixxxviii., note 3). The distinction between
morter (Gen. xi. 3) and mortar Num. xi. 8; Prov.
xxvii. 22, was first taken in 1638: by spelling both
morter, the Bible of 161 1 confounds words which
have only an accidental resemblance. We should
also discriminate carefully between naught (5?!))
2 Kin. ii. 19; Prov. xx. 14, and nought (i.e. no-
thing) Gen. xxix. 15, &c. : they were both spelt
nought previously to 1638-. In spite of the analogy
of nought, it is probably right to spell aught in such
places as Gen. xxxix. 6, as the American revisers
have done, but we have here abided by ought with
161 1. We have not ventured on the fine distinc-
tion between veil, an article of dress, and the Vail
of the Sanctuary, but retained in all cases (except
in error Wisd. xvii. 3; Ecclus. 1. 5 marg.) vail oi
161 1 in preference to veil of later editions. In Job
xiv. 17 the great oversight of 161 1 sowest for sewest
was left in our Bibles till 1762. The similar error
sow for srw in Eccles. iii. 7; Mark ii. 21, remained
till 1629; in Ezek. xiii. 18 it survived beyond 1638.
Between intrcat (to pray) and entreat (i. e. treat)
there is a broad difference of sense, properly recog-
nized in 1762: yet in 1611 the former is spelt
followed in each case as it arose. The result of this has been
to keep up apparent inconsistency in some places : e. g. Josh,
xiii. 27, compared with ch. xix. 35.
= The spelling of i6ri, &c. up to 1638 "at naught,"
Luke xxiii. 11, is mere error. It occurs also 2 Esdr. ii. 33,
in Synd. A. 3. 14, and 1613, not in Oxford 1611.

INTRODUCTION.
[sect. v.
intreated Job xix. i6, but entreated in the next
verse; while in Job xxiv. 21 the second is /«/rifa/-
eth. In Jer. xv. 11 text and margin, intreat and
entreat actually change places in i6ii, and are not
put right until 1638. Between enquire and inquire,
on the contrary, the choice is purely indifferent ;
the former is chiefly adopted in 161 1 (but in-
quired Deut. xvii. 4 Oxford reprint ; Ps. Ixxviii. 34 ;
Ezekiel xx. 31 bis; John iv. 52, &c. ; inquiry
Prov. XX. 25), the latter is our practice, derived
from our model (1858) and the recent Cambridge
Bibles. Thus also we take informed viith 161 1 in
Acts XXV. 2, rather than enformed as in 2 Mace,
xiv. i; Acts xxiv. i; xxv. 15 : but enrolled of
161 1 in I Mace. x. 36 in preference to inrolled
of the margins of Luke ii. i ; Heb. xii. 23. In
Isai. V. 1 1 enjiaine is in 1 6 1 1 , but inflaining in Isai.
Ivii. 5 ; modern Bibles reverse this, yet all keep
inflamed oi 161 1 in Hist, of Susanna ver. 8. Many
words, the exact orthography of which is quite in-
different, we have laboured to reduce to a uniform
method. Thus ankles, the usual modern practice,
which we take in all five places, is found in 1611
only in Ps. xviii. 36 mai-g., but ancles in 2 Sam.
xxii. 37 marg.\ Ezek. xlvii. 3 text and marg.; Acts
iii. 7 : in 1629 ancles is set in the first place, ankles
in the third and fourth, later Bibles recalling this
last correction, but bringing ankles into 2 Sam. xxii.
37 marg. Sometimes the later Bibles issuing from
different presses exhibit their characteristic varie-
ties of spelling. Instead of inquire, noticed above
as a peculiarity of the Cambridge books, those of
Oxford (1857) and London or the Queen's Printer
(1859) read enquire: for axe (which word is thus
spelt ten times in 161 1) these last, after the ex-
ample of their predecessors from 1629 (Camb.)
downwards, wrongly print ax, against the modern
Cambridge editions. In i Kin. v. 9 ; 2 Chr. ii.
16; I Esdr. V. 55 we ^ndflotes in 1611, but recent
Cambridge Bibles have needlessly changed it into
floats. These last are again wrong in soap, which,
after 16 11, the Oxford and London Bibles spell soJ>e
in both places (Jer. ii. 22; Mai. iii. 2). The truer
form 7-asor occurs seven times in 1 6 1 1 and the Cam-
bridge text, while the books of Oxford and London
have razor. In Judg. ix. 53 the Oxford editions,
with 16 1 1, adopt scull, but the Cambridge, and
161 1 in all other places, prefer skull. The Cam-
bridge books, after 161 1, have gray (greyhound
Prov. XXX. 31, rightly so spelt in 1629 Camb., 1630,
has no connection with it), the Oxford and London
grey. With the Cambridge Bible we also spell
counsellcr (not counsellor with those of Oxford and
London), as does also that of 1611 except in three
places, where it has counsellours (Ezra viii. 25 ;
Prov. xii. 20; XV. 22). Council (variously spelt
Ciiuncill, councel, councell \n 1611) is ordinarily dis-
tinguished from counsel or counsell, but the latter is
put for the former in i Esdr. iii. r5 marg. (xpr/fiaTiaTrj-
piio); Matt. V. 22; Mark xiv. 55, all subsequently
set right. Since ours, yours, theirs are possessive
cases plural of the personal pronouns, the apo-
strophe set before j' in the editions of 1762 and
1769, as also in the London and Oxford Bibles
to this day, is positively incorrect: hence the
Cambridge practice, which never admitted the
apostrophe, has been followed in this respect.
Again, there are forms not wholly banished
from our modern books, though their number is
diminished in later times, whose presence tends to
lend richness and variety to the style. Such is
marish Ezek. xlvii. 11 ; i Mace. ix. 42, 45, for the
more familiar marsh : the pathetic astonied, yet
standing for the more common-place astonished in
Ezra ix. 3, 4; Job xvii. 8; xviii. 20; Jer. xiv. 9;
Ezek. iv. 17; Dan. iii. 24; iv. 19; v. 9, and re-
stored to its rightful position in the great passage
Isai. Iii. 14, whence a folse taste has removed it subse-
quently to 1638. Stablisha\&o has been brought again
into twelve places (e.g. Lev. xxv. 30 ; Deut. xix. 15)
instead of established of later books : grin or grinne
(Job xviii. 9 ; Ps. cxl. 5 ; cxli. 9) has been treated
as a legitimate modification oi gin ox ginne (Job xl.
24 marg.; Isai. viii. 14; Amos iii. 5), though cast
out in 1762. Once only, it would appear, a super-
ficial difficulty is attempted to be concealed by a
slight change in the spelling. In Gen. 1. 23 marg.
borne, which in 16 11 was equivalent to born, was
sufficiently correct to convey no wrong impression.
To ensure clearness the final e was dropped in
1629 (Camb.), but restored again in 1762, by which
time it would be sure to suggest a false meaning.
Enough has been said of those variations in
orthography which are due to accident or the ca-
price of fashion. Others, more interesting, spring
from grammatical inflections common in the older
stages of our language, which have been gradually
withdrawn from later Bibles, wholly or in part,chiefly

by those great modernisers, Dr Paris (1762) and
Ur Blayney (1769), and have all been brought back
again in the present volume. Yet it is not always
easy to distinguish these from forms involving a
mere change in spelling, and different persons will
judge differently about them at times. Thus we
cannot well retain gro7ven i Kin. xii. 8^ 10, while
we alter knowen i Kin. xiv. 2, &c. To reject, how-
ever, such words as fet by substituting the modem
fetched^ is a liberty far beyond what an editor of
our version ought ever to have assumed : we have
restored 7^/ in 2 Sam. ix. 5 ; xi. 27 ; i Kin. vii. 13 ;
ix. 28 ; 2 Kin. xi. 4; 2 Chr. xii. 11 ; Jer. xxvi. 23 ;
xxxvi. 21; Acts xxviii. 13: it is full as legitimate
as fetcht of 2 Sam. xiv. 2 ; 2 Kin. iii. 9 ; 2 Chr. i.
17, and even of our latest Bibles in Gen. xviii. 7.
The editors of 1762 and 1769 bestowed much evil
diligence in clearing our English Translation of
this participle in -t, Blayney following in the steps
of Paris and supplying many of his deficiencies,
yet, with characteristic negligence, leaving not a
few untouched. Thus burned is substituted by
them for burnt in some 93 places (burnt being left
untouched in 2 Kin. xvi. 4; .xvii. 11, &c.). For
lift they put lifted 95 times, once (Dan. iv. 34,
where lift is past tense indicative) with some show
of reason ; sometimes (e. g. Zech. i. 21, where lift
up is present) to the detriment of the sense.

These archaic preterites contribute to produce a
pleasing variety in the style of our version, and are
grammatically just as accurate as the modem forms;
which is perhaps hardly the case with rent when it
is used not as a preterite only, but as a present, as
in Lev. xxi. 10 (sic, 16 11); 2 Sam. iii. 31; 1 Kin. xi.
31 ; Eccles. iii. 7; Isai. Ixiv. i (sic, 161 1); Ezek. xiii.

Among past participles may be noted (wast) begot
Ecclus. vii. 28: (his) hid (things) Obad. 6: (have)
sit Ecclus. xi. 5. It would have been well to have
retained lien (which even modern Bibles keep in
Ps. l.xviii. 13) for lai7i in Num. v. 19, 20, as we
have in the other places, Judg. xxi. 1 1 ; Job iii. 13 ;
John xi. 17. Other verbal forms deserving notice
are oweth Lev. xiv. 35; Acts xxi. 11, and ought
Matt, xviii. 24, 28; Luke vii. 41, which were not
changed into owneth and owed respectively till after
1638: leese (lose 1762) i Kin. xviii. 5. The noun
fiixe (Jlix 1629) was corrupted vcAo fliix in Acts
xxviii. 8 as early as 1699.
It is hard to discover any intelligible principle
which guided the editors of 1762 and 1769 in their
vexatious changes of several particles into their
cognate forms. Thus for amongst they print amotig
8 1 times, for towards they print toward 121 times,
for besides they give beside 44 times', yet keep the

forms they dislike so often that it is plain they i ral rule of adopting that one out of several forms
have no design to disuse them altogether. Such
wanton, or perhaps merely careless, variations are
cancelled in this volume. Nor can there be any good
ground for turning siih into since as does Dr Paris
in Jer. xv. 7 ; Zech. iv. 10 marg.\ 2 Esdr. vii. 53,
and Blayney in Jer. xxiii. 38, the rather as sHh is
in our modern Bibles Ezek. xxxv. 6 : sithmce in
2 Esdr. X. 14 was modernized mto since as early
as 1616, so that it must have been going out of
use even then. All our Bibles preserve whiles in
2 Mace. ix. 9; X. 36, yet in Ps. xlix. 18 while is
printed in 1762; in Isai. Ixv. 24 7i'hiles in 1769
becomes -dihile; ivhilst becomes 7C'/;//('in Heb. iii. 15;
ix. 17 in the books of 1629; in 2 Mace. vii. 24
whilst is substituted for whiles in 1629. The inter-
changes between to and unto in Gen. xxv. 33
(1629 Lond.); i Kin. xxii. 53 (1616): i Mace,
vii. 20 (1629 Camb.); Luke xx. 42 (1616); 2 Cor.
xi. 9 (1629 Camb.) are not very intelligible.
Amidst all this unmeaning tampering with the
text, the several editors, especially those of 1762
and 1769, carried out fully at least two things
on which they had set their minds : they got rid
of the quaint old moc for more (spelt mo in the Bible
of 1638) from the 35 places in which it occurs
in the standard copies, and in 364 places they
have altered the nominative plural you into ye,
besides that Blayney makes the opposite change
in Build you Num. xxxii. 24 ; Wash you Isai. i.
16 ; Get you Zech. vi. 7 ; Turn you Zech. ix. 12.
In one particular the orthography of modern Bibles
has been acquiesced in. The word midst is often
spelt in the Authorized Bibles as middest, about
Ezekiel and some of the later Prophets almost
constantly for a time. This form, however strange
to our eyes, would have the advantage of sug-
gesting the true character of the word as a su-
perlative adjective; but the spelling varies so much
between midst, middest, widest (Judith vi. 11), middcs
(Ps. cxvi. 19; Acts xxvii. 21; Phil. ii. 15) and
mids (Jer. xxxvii. 1 2 ; Hist. Susanna ver. 34, 48,
&c.), that it seemed safer to fall back on our gene-
Camb., 1638, 1744, 1762) will not affect the sense, as may
be seen from ver. 19, where the Hebrew is virtually tlie
same. Both forms of the English word then meant "except,"
which is the signification here.
which best suits the modern usage.
The practice of the Authorized Version with
respect to placing the indefinite article a or an
before a word beginning with // calls for some con-
sideration, the rather as modern Bibles, with the
exception of the American (see p. xxiii.) which con- |
forms to present usage, have made no systematic '
or important changes regarding it. It would seem
indeed as if a were but an abridged form of an,
the n being dropped before an initial consonant
proper, and only subsequently, under certain limi-
tations, before h aspirated. Thus Chaucer's use
an halle, an hare, an herih, is uniform, and the
fashion maintained its ground far into the sixteenth
century. In the earliest draft of our English Litany,
contained in the King's Primer of 1545, we read,
" an heart to love and dread thee," as it still remains
in the Book of Common Prayer; and sucli cases
as a harpe i Sam. x. 5, a hert Ecclus. xvii. 6 in
Coverdale's Bible of 1535 are quite rare, though
no doubt the custom of dropping the ;/ had already
begun. In the Authorized Version of 161 1 we
mark a further step in the same direction. As a
general rule an is there retained before the sounded
//, though the exceptions are more numerous than
some have supposed, and suggest to the modern
editor the propriety of conforming the Bible to the
now universal habit of the best English \\Titers.
The following list will shew how the matter stands

its aspiration " {The Queen's English, p. 43).

^ Of these words whose initial h is unaspirated, humble

xiii. 16; Prov. xi. 9; Isai. ix. 17; Ecclus. i. 29; xxxiii. 2:
an hypocritical Isai. x. 6.
This variable and inconsistent practice of the
Authorized Bible, rather concealed than remedied
in later editions, will probably be allowed to justify
our rejection of the )i of the indefinite article,
whensoever modern usage shall demand it. In the
case of the word hundred alone this has not been
done, as well because that out of the 150 places
or more wherein hundred occurs a is found before
it only in six (Ex. x.xxviii. 9; Judg. xx. 10 once;
I Kin. vii. 2 ; Isai. xxxvii. 36; Ecclus. xii. 4; i Mace,
vii. 41), whereof all but Isai. xxxvii. 36 are corrected
in subsequent copies, as especially because an hun-
dred is still found in some recent writers conspi-
cuous for purity of style. The choice between an '
//w/!,7r^ (Matt. iv. 2; xii. i, 3; x.xv. 35, 37, 42, 44;
Mark ii. 25; Luke vi. 3) and a hungrcd, which latter
does not occur in 161 1, is more precarious, inasmuch
as here an or a is probably not the article at all,
but a prefix expressive of a continued state, as "a
building" 2 Chr. xvi. 6; i Esdr. vi. 20, "a coming"
Luke ix. 42, "a dying" Luke viii. 42: Heb. xi. 21,
"a fishing' John ,\-\i. 3, "a preparing" i Pet. iii.
20 (where, however, a might represent the preposi-
tions at^ or on), athirst Matt. xxv. 44, for which
thirsty is substituted in ver. 35, 37, 42, where the
connection with an hutigred is not so close'. An
is also made to precede w in three passages of
the standard Bibles, an whole Num. x. 2 up to 1762
(but not in Num. xi. 20), an ivhore Prov. xxiii. 27
also up to 1762; 2 Esdr. xvi. 49 altered after 1638.
Such a one, where the sound is cognate to that of
w, should be the form taken if we acquiesce in
a before whole, &c., and is adopted by our Trans-
lators in Gen. xii. 38 ; Ruth iv. i ; Ps. 1. 2 1 {an
1762); Ixviii. 21 (an 1762); Ecclus. xxvi. 28 {an
2 As "a work," 2 Chr. ii. 18 (T^V.npj: compare

My and mine, thy and thine, should of course
be used respectively as a and an before a conso-
nant, or vowel, or h; but neither the original
Translators nor later editors have shewn any know-
ledge of the fact, so that in the present volume it
has been deemed advisable to follow the Bible of
161 1 exactly in this respect, the earlier issue aHttle
in preference to the other. The changes intro-
duced in more recent books are apparendy capri-
cious or accidental, being as often wrong as right.
Thus if my of 161 1 is turned into mine before
integrity Job xxvii. 5 in 1762, and mine correctly
changed into my before head by the same, Luke
vii. 46; the opposite alterations of my for mitie
before eyelids ^o\> .xvi. 16 in 16 17, of thy iox thine
before eyes Job xv. 12 in 1769, and of thine
for thy before hands i Mace. xv. 7 in 1629,
prove clearly that they had no principle to guide
them in the matter. Mutations of these forms
made for the better in later Bibles will be seen in
Deut. xvi. 15 and xviii. 4(1769); Isai. Ixiv. 8 (1629
Camb.); Ezek. xvi. 11 (1762); Zecln viii, 6 (1629
Camb.); Tobit ii. 13 and v. 14 (1629); Wisd. viii.
17 (1629); I Mace. ii. i8 (1629); Luke xiii. 12
(1616); 2 Cor. xi. 26 (1629, both books). Those
changed for the worse are Deut. ii. 24 and xv. 7
(1769); Ruth ii. 13 (2nd) and i Sam. ii. 35 (1629,
both books); Job xxxi.7 (1762); xl. 4(1629 Camb.);
Ps. cxvi. 16 (later than 1638); Eccles. iii. 18 (1629
Lond.); 2 Esdr. x. 55 'and Ecclus. v. 8 (1629);
Ecclus. h. 2 (1629, 1630). These passages maybe
verified by comparing any modern Bible with the
present volume.
The apparent solecisms also and unusual gram-
matical constructions of our standard of 1,6 1 1 have
been scrupulously retained, without any attempt to
amend them. Such as they are, they comprise an
integral part of the Translation, and preserve
phrases once legitimate enough, which have since
grown obsolete. Later editors have but ill spent
their pains in partial attempts to remove or con-
ceal them. Some, indeed, violate the concord of
the verb with its subject, as Ex. ix. 31 "the flax
and the barley was smitten," as in the Hebrew:
"tidings is brought" 2 Sam. xviii. 31 tnarg.: "thou
wast he that leddest" i Chr. xi. 2: "earth and
water was wont" Judith ii. 7 marg.: "the number
of names together were" Acts i. 15': "a great
company... were obedient" Acts vi. 7, as in the
Greek: "riches is..." Rev. xviii. 17. In i Cor.
vii. 32, however, we have acquiesced in " the things
that belong" (see Appendix A), "belong" being
substituted for "belongeth" as early as 1612. These
faults may be imputed to venial carelessness, to
the momentary relaxing of close attention which
every one is sensible of in the course of a long
task. At other times our version reminds the
reader of some racy idiomatic expression which
once formed a part of the spoken or even of the
written language of our ancestors. A good exam-
ple of this kind of archaism, which the best gram-
marians even now hesitate to condemn, is the
double genitive in such cases as Gen. xxxi. i and
the rest, given in Appendix C, p. xci., and note 3.
The opposite practice of suppressing the sign of
the possessive altogether, which survives in modem
Bibles in Judg. iii. 16 "of a cubit length," is found
in 161 1 in Lev. vii. 23; xiv. 54 (Appendix C
in loco); xxv. 5 "it^ own accord"; and in one
issue, Esther i. 13 "the king manner" (Appendix B,
p. Ixxxix.): it was never removed from Rev. xviii.
12 (pis). It may be stated here that the habit
of placing the apostrophe before or after j to
indicate the possessive case, singular or plural re-
spectively, was first adopted by the editor of 1762
in part, more consistently by Bla}'ney, yet witli so
little care that not very few errors in the placing of
the apostrophe, such as one glance at the original
would have detected, have clung to our common
Bibles to this day, and have been left for us to set
right. These are all noted in Appendix A (see
p. Ixix., note 4), and being of modern date, are dis-
tinguished by being placed within brackets: e.g.
' Thus also Rev. ix. 16 (and viii. 9) in all Bibles. In
I Esdr. viii. 49 a similar oversight is corrected in the present
edition, as also in Acts xxv. 23 "was" is amended into
"were." See Appendix A, pp. Ixxxiv., Ixxxvi. In Tobit
iv. 10 (see .\ppendix C), the text of 161 1 is correct. Compare
also Cant. iv. 2 with ch. vi. 6.
* The only place in our version where " it" occurs in the
possessive case, altliough much wanted in Num. xx. S ; Zech.
iv. 2. See Mr Aldis Wright's full note on "It" in his Bible
Word-book, and Bain, English Grammar, p. 87.

1 Sam. ii. 13; i Chr. vii. 2, 40. Since there exists
no doubt that this s represents the Anglo-Saxon
possessive ending -es {-is more often in Old English)
it is manifest that the possessive /its standing after
the possessing noun is a mere error. We have
accordingly adopted the changes of 1762, "Asa's
heart" i Kin. xv. 14 for "Asa his heart" (Bishops');
" Mordecai's matters" Esther iii. 4 for " Mordecai
his matters"; elsewhere retaining the original form
in I Esdr. ii. 30; iii. 7, 8; Judith xiii. 9; xv. 11;
2 Mace. i. 33 marg.; iv. 38; xii. 22 (Bishops'), all
in the debased style of the Apocrypha (see Sect.
VII. p. Ixv.). The antiquated singular for plural
with the word " year" has been kept in 2 Kin.
xxiii. 36; Jer. Hi. i; Dan. v. 31; Amos i. i ; i Esdr.
i. 39; I Mace. ix. 57; 2 Mace. iv. 23; Rom. iv. 19
(see App. C in locis citatis). In like manner we
have "two mile" John xi. 18 marg. (App. C) :
"three pound" i Kin. x. 17; Ezra ii. 69; Neh. vii.
71, 72; I Mace. xiv. 24; XV. 18; John xix. 39:
"thirty change" Judg. xiv. 12, 13: "thirty foot"
Ezek. xli. 6 marg.: so " an eight days" Luke ix. 28 ;
these last have never been altered. The use of
the cardinal for the ordinal number we have sup-
pressed only four times, the earliest being Gen.
viii. 13, on which passage in Appendix A, note 2,
the case is stated. Nor have we meddled with
a few manifest inaccuracies of other kinds, most
of which the hands even of Dr Blayney have
spared. Such are the pronouns pleonastic in
"which pains... they slack not" 2 Esdr. xvi. 38;
"Onias...he went" 2 Mace. iv. 4, 5': the double
negatives in "shall not leave... neither name nor...
2 Sam. xiv. 7; " Give none offence, neither... nor...
nor' I Cor. x. 32. The objective in the place of
the nominative in "him that soweth" Prov. vi. 19
was corrected in 1769; it is less clear that "whom"
is wrong in Matt. xvi. 13, 15; Acts xiii. 25. The
use of the adjective for the adverb is not unfre-
quent in the Authorized Version (Eph. iv. i ; i Thess.
ii. 12; 2 Pet. ii. 6), and has not been disturbed
even in so extreme a case as "wonderful great"
2 Chr. ii. 9. Double superlatives, "most straitest"
Acts xxvi. 5 ; "chiefest" Mark .x. 44, and the places
' In Ileb. ix. 12, though "he" before "entered" may
be technically wrong, it could not be dispensed with. The
pleonastic il in Isai. xxviii. 4 (see Appendix A, p. Ixxiv.)
might very well have been retained.
cited in the margin there, have ceased to displease
by reason of their very familiarity. Verbs transitive
and intransitive are sometimes confounded; e.g.
"lying in wait" Acts xx. ig compared with "lay-
ing await" Acts ix. 24; "to be heat' Dan. iii. 19;
"shall ripe" 2 Esdr. xvi. 26; "will fat" Ecclus.
xxvi. 13 (see Appendix C, p. xcv., for the last
three); "can white" Mark ix. 3; compare "did
fear" Wisd. xvii. 9. The following errors have not
been touched, the first three being imported from
the Bishops' version, " that we should live still
in wickedness and to suffer, and not to know
wherefore" 2 Esdr. iv. 12; "if any man knew
where he were" John xi. 57; "or ever he come
near" Acts xxiii. 15; "if we know that he hear
us" I John V. 15 (Bishops', after Tyndale). The next
instance seems to have been influenced by the
Greek (like Acts vii. 39), '" she took //, and laid it on
her mule; and made ready her carts, and laid them
(aura) thereon" Judith xv. 11.
A few miscellaneous obser%ations may close
this branch of the subject.
The more English prefix 1111- in the place of im-
or ///- has been restored in all eleven passages where
it was given in 1611 ; even modem Bibles keep itii-
perfect, Ps. cxxxix. 16. This form chiefly comes
from the Bishops' version ; except those cases cited
on Matt. xvii. 20 in Appendix C, it is found only
in Wisdom and Ecclesiasticus. To set s after the
Hebrew termination -im (Gen. iii. 24; Ex. x.vv. 18;
xxvi. I, &c.) is a manifest inaccuracy, and if the
American rule {Report, &c. p. 22) had been adopted
of rejecting the s throughout, no valid objection
could have been raised. The middle course taken
in recent English editions, that of sometimes making
the required change and sometimes not, admits of
no reasonable defence. We have simply abided
by the standard of* 16 11 in every instance, not
caring to adopt even such changes as that set down
in Appendix C on Gen. xxvi. i. In regard to
the interjection O or Oh, the American plan {ubi
supra) looks tempting from its simplicity, since it
limits O to the pure vocative, and employs O/i for
the optative, which practically introduces the latter
into the great majority of places. But O/iiw English
is neither dignified nor pleasing enough for con-
stant repetition, and after a fruitless attempt to
discover the law observed by our Translators, it
has been judged advisable to limit Oh to passages

where the optative sense is very decided, as when
it answers to the Hebrew 5<? Gen. xix. i8, 20. or
DK I Chr. iv. 10, or nJS Ps. ixvi. 16, or 'in Isai.
xxix. I ttiarg.: it would probably be better to banish
Oh altogether. The intensive forms of certain
words are occasionally put for the weaker, and 'i'ice
versa, perhaps for euphony : thus bide Rom. xi. 23
becomes abide, ware in Matt. xxiv. 50 becomes
aware (see App. C in loco), both in 1762: rise be-
comes arise i Sam. xxiv. 8 (both books of 1629,
1630); XXV. 42 (1629 Camb., which makes the
opposite change in ch. xxviii. 25); 2 .Sam. xix. 8
(1629 Lond.); Tobit xii. 21 (1638); i Mace. ix.
23 (1769); Mark x. i (1629 Camb.); Luke viii.
24 (16 16). In Gen. xi. 3 thoroughly best repre-
sents thorowly of 161 1, though the latter has
throughly in Ex. xxi. 19 (where thoroughly of 1762
should be withdrawn from our text); 2 Kin. xi.
18; Job vi. 2. Lastly, it ought to be stated that
the diphthongs a and a occur only in that small
Roman type which in the Bibles of 161 1 answers
to our italic, and have no corresponding characters
in the black letter in which the text is printed. In
this way we mark Casars Phil. i. 13 viarg., cluvnix
Rev. vi. 6 marg., the same character being set up
in both places. In fact, a simple e represented
both these diphthongs in the ordinary Bibles until
after Blayney's time, when they gradually came
into use, though they are wanting in the latest
copies for Naggc Luke iii. 25, Menan ver. 31,
Colosse Col. i. 2, nor do they exist at all in the
American book, except in chcenix. In 1 6 n in-
deed they found more favour than afterwards, for
besides the margins afore-mentioned, we meet with
Coelosyria in i Esdr. ii. 17, &c., Aenon John iii.
23, which double vowels, after having been made
real diphthongs in 1630, and pardy in both books
of 1629, were converted into simple e in the influ-
ential edition of 1638.
The employment of capital letters was much
more free in the seventeenth century than at pre-
i sent, and in the Authorized Version whole classes
of words that seem litde entitled to that distinction
are constantly so represented. Such are Altar,
Ark, Court, Hanging, Mercy-seat, Noble, Priest,
Sabbath, Statutes, Tabernacle; even Cedar-ivood,
Shittim-wood, &c. The tendency of later times
has been to diminish such capitals very consider-
ably, and in a few instances the moderns may have
gone a little too far. Chcrubims has a capital now
only in Gen. iii. 24, and the Americans seem right \
in removing it thence. Archbishop Trench would
restore the lost capital in " Vengeance " Acts xxviii. 4,
which is not in the Bishops' Bible, and was withdrawn
as early as 1629 (both editions), but then we must
treat Wisd. xi. 20 in the same way, for the personifica-
tion is just as strongly marked, though the initial v is
small in 161 1. Ordinary words also, when pregnant
with sacred associations, may wisely be distinguished
by a capital. Such are Testimony Ex. xvi. 34, &c..
Witness Num. xvii. 7, 8, &c., especially in Acts vii.
44, where in 161 1 the w is small. But indeed the
practice of our Translators in this matter is little
more consistent than in certain others. Thus we
have "the city of Salt" Josh. xv. 62, but "the
valley of salt" 2 Sam. viii. 13, in all our books
from 161 1 downwards. With Mr Gorle we prefer
no capital, where the character rather than the
name of the region is designated. Sometimes an
initial capital is useful ' to intimate a change of
speaker, as in John iv. 9, where "For" of 161 1
("for" 1629 Camb., &c.) shews that the woman's
speech is already ended'.
But what in most instances is only a matter of
taste or propriety, becomes of real importance
where the Divine Persons are spoken of. The
familiar rule that Spirit should have a capital when
the Holy Ghost or Spirit Himself is indicated,
while spirit ought to be used in other cases, even
when His power or influence is referred to, may be
as safe as any, yet in application it gives rise to
occasional perplexity, which the inconsistencies of
the standard and other editions do little to remove.
Thus in Gen. -xli. 38 the Bible of 161 1 has spirit
(changed as early as 1613, though Spirit was not
finally adopted before 1762), while in the precise
parallel (Ex. xxxi. 3) it reads Spirit. The original
edition is right also in 2 Chr. .xxiv. 20 {s); Ps. cxxxix.
7 (s); Isai. xi. 2 {S, and j- three times); xxx. i (S);
li.x. 19 {s); Matt. iv. i {S); Mark i. 12 (.S') ; Acts
x. 19 (j, as ch. xi. 12, 28); Rom. i. 4{S); i John
v. 8 {S, as all ver. 6), against some or many later
Bibles, but wrongly has .S" Num. xi. 17, 25 (bis).
' James iv. 5 is less easy to deal with. In 161 1 we have
"the spirit," but from 1629 (both editions) "The spirit"
lias prevailed, as if a quotation began at this point, which
is hardly true.

29. In 2 Esdr. vi. 39 Spiritus calls for the capital,
when the verse is compared with Gen. i. 2, though
none hitherto have so printed it, whereas spiramen
2 Esdr. xvi. 62 requires the opposite. Thus every
case must be considered on its own merits. So
again, while we admit that "Son of God" or "Son
of man," wheresoever the word refers to the Lord
Christ, should invariably have a capital letter', we
may legitimately question its propriety in Dan. iii.
25; vii. 13, where it does not appear in 161 1: the
analogy of Rev. i. 13 has persuaded us to receive
S from the books of 1629 (Lond.), 1630. Ap-
pellations derived from the Divine attributes we
have indicated by capitals, whatever the variations
of editions, being more studious of uniformity
in such matters than of following the incon-
sistencies of those that have preceded us. Thus,
when relating to God, we have Author (Wisd. .xiii.
3), Father, the Most High, the Holy One, Maker',
Mighty One, Redeemer^, Saviour*. As regards
Scripture, we abide by the ordinary rule of using
the capital where the whole body of Holy Writ is
meant (e.g. John v. 39, to which might be added
2 Tim. iii. 15, 16), the small j' where some particu-
lar portion is referred to^
Section VI.
On the references to parallel texts of Scripture 7i'hich
are set in the margin.
A large proportion of the time and labour be-
stowed on the present volume has been spent upon
the references to parallel texts which are set in the
margin. The Authorized Version only followed
the example of earlier English translations in pro-
viding these materials for the exact study of Holy
Scripture by means of comparing one portion of it
with others. In fact, more than half the references
1 Thus "Son" should stand in John viii. 36, but not in
ver. 35, where the reference is general.
- As in 1611, "maker" has no capital in Isai. xlv. g, 11.
where a contrast is intended with the "makers" of idols.
* So (against the standard of 161 1) we read in Prov.
xxiii. II, comparing Job xix. 25.
* Yet not so with 161 1 in Ps. cvi. ^i, since temporal
deliverance seem'; to be intended : cf. Judg. iii. 9 viarg.
^ For the small capitals, by which our Translation repre-
sents the Hebrew Jehovah, see Appendix A, p. Ixviii., note i.
contained in the edition of 161 1 are derived from
manuscript and printed copies of the Vulgate
Latin Bible, and thus present to us the fruits of the
researches of medieval scholars and the traditional
expositions of the Western Church. The refer-
ences found in the standard of 161 1, however,
scarcely amount to a seventh part of those printed
in modern Bibles, and have .been computed not to
exceed nine thousand"; the whole of which, inas-
much as they must be regarded as an integral por-
tion of the Translators' work, have been scrilpu-
lously retained in this volume ; except only a
few where the reference is hopelessly wrong. Such
are Chap. xvi. 15 in the margin of 2 Sam. xix.
19: Eccles. V. 12 in that of Job xx. 19: Judg. xiii.
2 1 in that of Ps. cvi. 2 : Judg. vii. 1 9 in that of Ps.
cvi. 6. Sometimes they appear to have mistaken
the drift or meaning of the passage; e.g. i Chron. ix.
set over against Neh. xii. 23, where our existing
books of the Chronicles are scarcely meant at all :
Prov. XV. 30 as parallel to Eccles. vii. i : Ps. cxxxii.
6 as parallel to Jer. vii. 14: and 2 Mace. iii. 4 re-
ferred to in Ecclus. 1. i , although quite a different
person is meant: the last two have disappeared from
modern Bibles. Occasionally, indeed, the original
reference has been preserved by us, where it would
hardly have been accei)ted on its own merits: such
is the case of Ex. xxxiv. 6 in the margin of Neh. ix.
32: Deut. vii. I, (2) in that of Ps. cxlix. 9: Ps. 1. 9
in that of Prov. xxi. 27: Isai. liii. 3 in that of Wisd.
ii. 15: 2 Cor. iii. 17 in that of John iv. 24: Matt.
xxviii. 19 ill that of John xv. 16: Mark ix. 12
(from the Vulgate) in Isai. liii. 3 : Rom. vii. 9 in
1 Thess. iii. 8'. The doubtful appropriateness of
these references is occasionally indicated by an-
nexing to them the note of interrogation (?). As

INTRODUCTION.
[sect. VI.
we cannot praise very highly the typographical cor-
rectness of the Bibles of i6ir in other particulars
(see p. xii.), so it must be stated that no other
portion of the work is so carelessly printed as these
parallel texts, each issue having a few errors pecu-
liar to itself, but few leaves indeed being exempt
from some gross fault common to them both. The
references to the Psalms direct us constantly to the
wrong verse ; namely, that of the Latin "Vulgate
from which they were first derived, not to that of
the English Bible on whose pages they stand. The
marks of reference from the text to the margin are
so often misplaced, that it would be endless to enu-
merate glaring errors in regard to them which have
long since been removed.
One of the main services rendered by the re-
visers of the Cambridge folios of 1629 and 1638 was
the setting right these vexatious inaccuracies of the
earlier books, which toilsome duty they performed
very thoroughly, leaving to their successors the
more congenial employment of adding largely to
the original texts, a liberty which seems to have been
taken by almost every one who prepared a special
edition. Whensoever a reference had once found
its way into the margin, there it was allowed to
remain, unchallenged and even une.xamined, how-
ever frivolous or mistaken it might be. Moreover,
in recent Bibles that do not contain the Apocry-
phal books, all references drawn from them by our
Translators have been summarily rejected, through
the same unwarrantable licence which led later
editors to expunge altogether the marginal note in
1 Chr. vii. 28 (see Appendix A, pp. Ixxxii. note i,
Ixxxiii. note 2), and to mutilate that on Acts xiii. 18
by striking out the reference to 2 Mace. vii. 27. All
such Apocr}'phal texts, together with a few others
dropped through apparent inadvertence, have in
the present volume been restored to their rightful
places. The parallel references in the Apocrypha
itself have been largely increased, as well for other
' Thus the copy from which the 0.\ford reprint was taken
corrects Synd. A. 3. 14 in i Kin. ii. 11. ^ Chr. xxxiv. 4;

former wrong in Ps. xxxii. 5 ; xliii. 5 ; Ixxviii. 60, where it

revised sheets of Synd. A. 3. 14 (p. xi.). But these are ex-
ceptional cases. The two issues ordinarily coincide in most
manifest errors.
purposes, as with a view to illustrate the style of
the Greek New Testament.
The textual references which have been gradually
accumulating in the margins of our modern Bibles
have here been received or expunged solely on
their own merits : they have no such general recep-
tion to plead in their favour as those in the standard
of 161 1. Many of them are excellent, and help
much for the right understanding of Scripture:
these, after having been verified more than once,
as well in the original tongues as in the Authorized
Version, have of course been retained. Of the
rest, a larger portion than might have been antici-
pated have been judged irrelevant, questionable,
or even untrue. No editions are more open to
criticism in this particular than those of Dr Paris
(i762)and of DrBlayney (1769), who between them
added at least half as many references as they
found already existing. The worst errors, because
unlearned readers cannot discover or so much as
suspect them, relate to parallelisms which are true
in the English, false in the Hebrew or Greek. Such
are Judg. ix. 27 cited at Judg. xvi. 25 (1769):
1 Chr. v. 26 cited at 1 Kin. xi. 14 (1769): i Sam.
xii. 21 (1762) and Isai. xli. 29 (1769) cited at
I Kin. xvi. 13: i Sam. ix. 9 cited at i Chr. xxi. 9
(1762): Ruth i. 21 cited at Job x. 17 (1769): Hos.
xi. 12 cited at Ps. cxxxii. 16 (1762): Ex. x.xviii. 36;
xxix. 6; Lev. viii. 9 cited at Zech. vi. 11 (1769):
John xix. 40 cited at Acts v. 6 and vice versa (1762).
Even in the Bible of 1 6 11 we have Gen. iv. 4 made
to illustrate Num. xvi. 15, although the resemblance
is far less exact than the English might make it
appear. References objectionable on more general
grounds, some few being scarcely intelligible, are
Num. ii. 3, 10, 18, 25 to illustrate Ezek. i. 10(1762) :
the marvellous comment implied by citing John i.
14; Col. ii. 9 in Rev. xiii. 6, and 2 Kin. xx. 7 in Rev.
xiii. 14 (both due to 1762): the allusions to the
Great day of Atonement in Jer. xxxvi. 6 (1762 and
1769), whereas some special fast is obviously
meant (ver. 9) : the hopeless confusion arising from
connecting Acts xx. i, 3 with i Tim. i. 3 (1762):
the tasteless quotation of 1 Sam. xxiv.3 in Jonah i.
5 (1762). Hardly less false are John x. 23 cited at
I Kin. vii. 12 (1762) and Acts iii. 11 (1762): 1 Chr.
xxiv. 10 and Luke i. 5 made parallel to Neh. xii. 4,
17 (1762): Josh. xiv. 10 to Matt. iii. 1 (1762):
while Ex. xxiii. 2 employed to e.xplain Job xxxi. 34

Ps. Ixviii. 4 with Isai. xl. 3 (1762); Dan. iv. 27

slender helps to the student of Scripture. In
2 Mace. ii. 8 the allusion surely is to Ex. .\1. 38,
not (as in 1 762) to Ex. xxxiv. 5. Finally, the note of
interrogation is annexed in these pages to some

more recent editors, as when in Ps. cxxxiii. 3 the
reference to Deut. iv. 48 (1762) would identify

We can only conjecture that the " Scotch edi-
tion" of which Dr Blayney speaks so vaguely in his
Report to the Delegates (see Appendix D, p. xcix.)
was that of Brown of Haddington, then just pub-
lished. The parallel texts of Canne (1664, 1682),
though often surprisingly wide of the mark, are said
by those who have patiently used them to be at
times very suggestive, and to contain more truth
than might appear on the surface'. The editor of
Bagster's Miniature Quarto Bible 1S46, while "ad-
mitting without e.xamination the references of
Blayney, Scott [1822], Clarke [18 10, &c.] and the

those of the edition of 161 1, being more for the purpose of

references are more suggestive than immediately striking.

was an Independent, and a prolific writer in the interest of
that party. His own small octavo editions bear no mark of
place or printer's name, but came from Amsterdam, whither
he went into exile after the Restoration. He had prepared
a larger work, which was never published, on the principle
of making the Bible its own Interpreter. In his edition of
1682 he says, " The sweetness and great content that I have
had all along in this Scripture work, hath caused me to
account other studies and readings (which I formerly used)
very low in comparison of it. It is said of Jacob, that he
sen'ed seven years for Rachel, and they seemed but a few days,
for the love he had to her. I can truly speak it, I have
served the Lord in this work more than thrice seven years,
and the time hath not seemed long, neither hath the work
been any way a burden to me, for the love I have had to it"
(Preface, p. i). His book was often reprinted in the former
half of the eighteenth century.
verify all that were found in Canne, Brown, and
Wilson [i.e. Crutwell, 1785, p. xcix., note 2]; the
aggregate number, it is believed, being nearly half a
million" {Preface, p. i.). It is plain that so numerous
a host can prove little else than an encumbrance
to the private Christian, by positively discouraging
him from resorting to the margin at all, and even
earnest students will often be sensible of the dan-
ger incurred by such burdensome and minute com-
mentaries, lest, " after all, the design and scope of
the whole may not be understood, while the reader's
mind stays so long in the several parts" (Bp. Patrick,
Dedication to Paraphrase of Job). Bagster's publi-
cations have been so perpetually consulted in cases
of difficulty for the purposes of the present volume,
that the editor may fairly express his regret that
what is intrinsically valuable in them should be
buried under a heap of irrelevant matter. Less
full, but on the whole more profitable for study, is
the collection of texts in the Religious Tract
Society's "Annotated Paragraph Bible" of 1861,
but here too, as in Bagster's books, nearly all the
old matter is adopted without any attempt at re-
vision, or apparent consciousness of the need of it.
That the additions made in the present work to the
store of already existing references will by many be
deemed too copious, their compiler is painfully
aware. He can only plead in self-defence that he
has aimed at brevity throughout; that no single
text has been accepted as parallel which did not
seem to him really illustrative either of the sense
or language of Scripture; and that all the materials,
whether new or old, have been digested into such
a shape as, it is hoped, will prove convenient for
practical use; while the form in which they are
given will afford some indication as to their respec-
tive characters and relative values. With this last
end in view, the reader's attention is directed to
the following simple rules, on which the collection
of textual references in the margin of this volume
has been constructed and arranged.
(i) When the parallel between the passage in
the text and that in the margin, whether it be
verbal or relate to the general sense, is as exact as
the subject allows, the marginal text stands with
no prefix: e.g. 2 Cor. iv. 6 cited in the margin of
Gen. i. 3.
(2) If "So" stand before the marginal text,
it indicates that the parallel, although real, is less

[sect. VI.
complete, or that the language is more or less
varied in the two places: e.g. 2 Chr. xiii. 9 "^no
gods" being exactly like Jer. v. 7, but less closely
akin to Deut. xxxii. 21, the marginal note is thus
expressed " \Ter. 5. 7. So Deut. 32. 21." Again,
Job. xi. 10 '-'shut up," being precisely identical
with Lev. xiii. 4, while in Job xii. 14 the Hebrew
verb is of a different conjugation, the margin runs
'"Lev. 13. 4, &c. So ch. 12. 14'."
(3) If instead of " So," the word " Compare"
or "Comp." be prefixed, it is intimated that the
resemblance is slighter and less direct, or even
that there is a seeming inconsistency between the
two places: e.g. 2 Kin. ii. 11 in the margin of
Gen. V. 24, where the events recorded are not in all
respects analogous. So also " ^Comp. 2 Kin. 8. 26.
and ch. 21. 20" annexed to 2 Chr. xxii. 2, to draw at-
tention to the numerical difficulty. Such phrases as
" Supplied from" in the margin of 2 Sam. xxi. 19;
"Expressed in" Ex. .xxiii. 2; "Expressed" Judg.
vii. 18, will be understood at once by consulting
the passages alleged.
(4) Much space has been economised and the
constant repetition of a body of texts, all bearing
on the same point, avoided, by setting them down
once for all in full, and elsewhere referring the
reader to that place by means of the word "See."
Thus "See i Chr. 29. 14" in the margin of 2 Chr.
ii. 6, directs the reader to a place where all extant
examples of a certain idiom had already been
brought together. In Num. ix. 15, "See Ex. 13.
21" shews that the latter place contains a collec-
tion of the texts relating to the pillars of cloud and
fire. This method has been much employed in
regard to Proper names both of places and per-
sons. It should also be stated that where passages
of the New Testament are noticed as " Cited from"
the Old, it has been judged needless to repeat the
textual references previously set down in the cor-
responding places from which the citation is made ;
e.g. Matt, x.vii. 37, 39, 44.
(5) When the parallelism extends to a whole
paragraph, or indeed to any portion of the sacred
text exceeding a single verse, the fact is carefully
- Occasionally the reference assumes the character of 4
brief exposition: e.g. Heb. ix. 27 cited at Job xxi. 33 (after
1769) ; Ex. xvi. 1 2 at Job xxxi. 31 ; Luke v. 7, 10 at Job xli.
6. But this liberty has lieen taken very sparingly.
indicated by a peculiar notation. Thus in the
margin of Ex. xxi. i, "To ver. 17, Deut. 5. 6 — 21"
(the name of the book being printed in italic type)
intimates that Ex. xx. i — 17 is in substance identi-
cal with Deut. v. 6 — 21. Such instances occur
very frequently, especially in the books of Samuel
and Kings compared with Chronicles, and in the
first three or .Synoptic Gospels. Here again it has
not been thought advisable to repeat in a later
passage the textual references already given in an
earlier passage in great measure resembling it.
Such as are found in the second passage either
belong to it alone, or are intended to direct atten-
tion to its divergencies from the first one: e.g.
'■Compare 2 Sam. 10. 18" in the margin of i Chr.
xix. 18.
(6) The parallel is frequently a real one in
the original tongues, although it appears faintly or
not at all in the Authorized Version. In this case
(Heb.), (Chald.), or (Gk.), as the case may be, is
annexed to the citation, to give notice of the fact :
e.g. Lev. xi. 17. Where several texts are cited,
a'.id this is true of two or more of them, the expre -
sion is varied to "in the Heb.", "in the Gk.":
e.g. Deut. xxxiii. 27, where the notation happens
to relate to all the three places in the Psalms.
\\'hensoever, in the margin of the New Testament,
(Gk.) is set after a quotation from the Old, it is
intimated that the Septuagint version agrees with
the New Testament: e.g. Matt. xxvi. 12. In a
few instances, and for special reasons, the word
(Septuagint) has been printed at length.
(7) If, on the contrary, the resemblance be-
tween two or more passages belong only to the
English, and have no respect to the original, (Eng.)
or (English) is added to the quotation. Such
notices are designed to gather in one view words
nearly obsolete, or otherwise to throw light upon the
phraseology of the Authorized Version: e.g. Gen.
xlv. 6; I Sam. ix. 5; i Kin. xx. 11; 2 Chr. xxvi. 14;
Dan. vi. 3; 2 Esdr. xvi. 49; Tobit iv. 14; vi. 12;
Matt. X. 10; xiii. 20; xiv. 8; xvii. 12, 25; xx. 11;
xxiv. 48; xxvi. 67; xxvii. 39; Mark x. 44; Luke
i- 54; vi. 32; vii. 4; viii. 23; xiv. 32; i Tim. ii. 9.
Compare Judg. xii. 14.
(8) Lastly, as a note of interrogation (?) has
been used to bring into question the references
both of the standard of 161 1 (p. Iv.), and of pre-
ceding editors (p. Ivii.), so it has been occasionally

employed for the same purpose with certain that
appear in the present volume either alone, or with
little countenance elsewhere: e.g. " i Chr. 27. 21"
cited for "Iddo" in i Kin. iv. 14. Names of
places and persons are frequently so marked, if the
orthography be somewhat varied: e.g. "Ramah,"
Josh, xviii. 24. In Judg. xviii. 30, by illustrating
"Gershom" from "Ex. 2. 22? & 18. 3?" attention
is directed to the proposed substitution of " Moses"
instead of " Manasseh," a reading both probable in
itself, and supported by weighty and varied au-
thorities. In the same spirit, an attempt has fre-
quently been made to convey some notion of the
relative value of the marginal renderings (see Section
II.) as compared with those in the text, by means of
passages cited by us to illustrate one or both of
them : e. g. Esther vi. i ; Ps. vi. 6.
Advantage has also been taken of the present
opportunity to insert in the margin a great number
of passages tending to illustrate the internal connec-
tion and relative dates of the several books of the
Old Testament, which have been the most subjected
in modern times to criticism more or less sober
and profound. Such references as are made to the
Pentateuch in Judg. xix. 7, S; 2 Sam. xiv. 7, are so
many additional pioofs that the diction of the
oldest books of the Bible clave to the memory, and
was wrought into the literary style even of the
earliest surviving writers after the conquest of Ca-
naan. Nothing short of actual collation of parallel
texts, undertaken by the student for himself, can
cause him to realize the extent to which the pecu-
liar language of the book of Job has influenced
those which followed it, or can do justice to its
claim to the most venerable antiquity. Thus too the
resemblances between Zech. i. — viii. and ix. — xiv.
have been diligently recorded : while in regard to
the prophecies of Isaiah it may be confidently
affirmed that no unprejudiced scholar, who shall
but faithfully examine the numberless coincidences
both in thought and expression between the first
thirty-nine and last twenty-seven chapters of his
book (coincidences which are all the more instruc-
tive by reason of their often being so minute and
sometimes lying below the surface), will ever again
admit into his mind the faintest doubt, whether
the two several portions of that inspired volume
are the production of one author or of more.
The compilation of this virtually new body of
textual references has been greatly aided by Wet-
stein's only too copious collections from the Sep-
tuagint in the notes to his Greek Testament (1751
— 2), and yet more by two laborious volumes, to
which the editor has been more largely indebted
than he knows how to express; — Canon Wilson's
accurate and exhaustive English, Hebrew and
Chaldee Lexicon and Concordance {Second edition
1866), especially valuable for the attention paid
therein to the marginal notes ; and Wigram's Hebra-
ist's Vade Mcciim (1867), which, answering as it
does many of the purposes of that great desideratum
of sacred literature, a real Hebrew Concordance, has
been his hourly companion ever since it was pub-
lished. He has also enjoyed the benefit of using
for the Poetical and Prophetic books, that glory
of the Clarendon Press, the Origenis Hexaplorwn
qitcs supcrsitnt (1867 — 1871) of Mr Field; whose
Latin version of the Hebrew passages cited through-
out the work, by reason of its elegance and preci-
sion no less than from an almost instinctive percep-
tion of the true sense of the original in cases of
difficulty, leaves us nothing to regret save its frag-
mentary character, and begets in the student an
earnest longing for a continuous translation, at least
of these harder portions of the Old Testament, from
the same able and accomplished hand.
Section VIT.
Miscellaneous obseiTations relating to the present
edition, and general Conclusion.
It is obvious that the practice of printing the
English Bible in sections or paragraphs accommo-
dated to the sense (the notation of the chapters and
verses being set in the margin), which Mr Reeves
the King's Printer introduced early in the present
century, and in which he has found so many imita-
tors, is in substance only a return to the fashion
that prevailed in our early versions, before the
Genevan New Testament of 1557 unfortunately
broke up the text into divisions at once so minute
and so arbitrary as the verses invented by Robert
Stephens. "The subdivision of the books of Sacred
Scripture into chapters and verses, without regard
h2

[sect. VII.
to the sense, and frequently to its great injury, has
thrown a most serious obstacle in the way of com-
mon readers." It has given rise to "a very errone-
ous impression, that the Bible is rather a collection
of apophthegms, or disconnected sentences, than
composed of regular histories and treatises on reli-
gion, which have their separate topics and connex-
ions." "It is a method peculiar to the Bible, and
confined to translations alone. Yet the word of
God is not deserving of such an injurious peculiarity
as this'." Thus clearly is the case stated by an
editor who seems to have been the first to introduce
this simple plan into the United States of America,
and who has certainly carried it out with singular
skill and discretion.
For indeed the division of the sacred text into
sections suitable for general use will not be deemed
an easy matter by any one who has assayed it. If
we look only to the broad and prominent breaks in
a Bible narrative or discourse, they will usually be
found too far apart for the reader's convenience : if
the subordinate members be separated from each
other, the result will often be a virtual return to the
discarded verse divisions. Something between these
two extremes is to be aimed at, and in this effort
there is room as well for much honest difference of
opinion, as for the exercise of careful discrimination
and a subtil faculty of analysis. From the marks
of paragraph division (IT) employed for the first
time in the Authorized Version, litde help has
been derived. They are unequally and capri-
ciously distributed, and in both issues of i6ir and
in the Bible of 1613 they cease altogether after
Acts XX. 36 : nor have they any perceptible con-
nection with the headings of the chapters, here-
after to be mentioned. The editor would have
been glad, in the prosecution of this portion
of his task, if he could have followed rather than
preceded the publication of the new Church Lec-
tionary. It is, however, with great satisfiiction that
on comparing the paragraiihs in this volume with
the beginnings and endings of the Lessons as ap-
pointed by the Royal Commissioners, he has been
able to note a resemblance between the two which
is quite remarkable, due allowance being always

Philadelphia. 1836. Preface, pp. i, 2.
made for the motives which sometimes cause a
Church Lesson to commence or leave off at a
certain place, irrespective of conbiderations sug-
gested by the sense.
The poetical portions of the Old Testament
and Apocrypha, as well as a very few passages of
the New Testament ^ have been arranged accord-
ing to the principles first enunciated by Bishop
Lowth, and modified and improved upon by his
successors. The series of couplets or triplets of
parallel lines is furthermore broken everywhere by
divisions (similar to those in the prose books) sug-
gested by the sense, which throughout Job (as
represented by Delitzsch) and in some of the
Psalms (e.g. xlii., xliii. , Ixxxix. ; cvii.) may be regarded
as stanzas, often though by no means always of uni-
form length. The thirteen alphabetical poems' are
distinguished by Hebrew letters at the proper places,
so that an English reader may form some notion of
the grounds on which the Lowthian system of He-
brew parallelism ultimately rests. Here again a
difficulty often occurs which is at times unavoid-
able in a version made before the true laws of the
poetry were ascertained, in that the order of the
English, departing for good reasons from that of the
original, forbids a correct distribution of the verse
into its proper members. Instances may be noticed
in Ps. xxxi. 18; Ixviii. 23; Ixxiv. 6; Ixxv. 8; xci. 9;
xcviii. i; cxix. 4; cxx. i; cxxix. 5; cxxxii. 12;
cxxxiv. 3; cxxxvii. 2. Prov. viii. 2, 3; xxiv. 11.
Isai. xxviii. 4. Mic. iv. 8. Nah. iii. 3. Zeph. iii.
17. Zech. ix. I. Mai. i. 3. Ecclus. i. 2, 3; xviii.
6; xxvi. 9; xxxiii. 19; xl. 29; xlviii. 22. Not that
we should be over anxious to maintain an equable
length for the lines, as Nourse too often does, divid-
ing (for example) Mai. iv. 5, at the word "coming"
instead of "prophet," in violation of the sense, and
against the Masoretic points, which, through some
happy instinct of their authors, seldom lead us
wrong. More considerable is the perplexity, in
dealing with writers that pass gradually from what

manuscripts, the Beatitudes (Matt. v. 3 — 12 ; Luke vi.
20 — 26), the short parables of Matt. xiii. and the eight woes
of Matt, xxiii. (compare Luke xi.), have been set each in
a separate paragraph.

h
might well be deemed poetry into rhetorical prose,
and so back again, to determine the precise point
at which the poetical structure should begin or termi-
nate. This was found especially the case in Jeremiah
and the earlier chapters of Zechariah, wherein an-
other mind might easily arrive at a different result.
Portions also of Ecclesiastes (ch. vii. i — 14; x. i
— xii. 7) and 2 Esdras xvi., are imperfectly metrical,
though printed as prose ; while on the other hand
the tone of Zephaniah is less elevated than is usual
in poetry. We notice a burst of poetic fervour
in so prosaic a book as Daniel (ch. ii. 20 — 23),
while the last prayer of David (i Chr. xxix. 10 — 19),
which began in the same high strain, gradually
sinks to a lower level. Passages of the hymn
Neh. ix. 5, &c., are among the latest breathings of
an expiring literature of holy song. The opening
of Wisdom again is quite as capable of being
thrown into parallel lines as Ecclesiasticus, yet as
the book proceeds (though it is the work of a
single writer and composed on a regular plan) it
insensibly swells into the ornate periods of the
later Greek style'. How wholly unsuitable some
parts of it are for reduction into parallel lines
may be seen in the edition of O. T. Fritzsche
{Libri Apocryphi V. T. 187 1), who in this matter
will find few imitators.
We are very little concerned with the chapters
and verses of ordinary Bibles, though they should
not be interfered with needlessly. In the Apocry-
phal additions to Esther, nothing can be more con-
fused or preposterous than the order of the matter
and the numbering of the chapters in our own ver-
sion, and to some extent in the Clementine Vulgate
and earlier English Bibles. By adopting Jerome's
arrangement, and omitting his explanatory notes,
we have as a result, among other inconsistencies,
the interpretation of Mardocheus' dream before the
dream itself. It is hoped that the directions
placed within brackets [ ] in this volume will prove
sufficient for the reader's guidance. In other cases
the divisions of chapters have been disregarded
without scruple, whensoever they appeared errone-

Ezek. XX. 45 — 50 with ch. xxi. (the parable with
its solution), as in the Hebrew (which also rightly
joins Hos. xi. 12 with ch. xii.; and Nah. i. 15
with ch. ii.); Amos ii. i — 3, or i — 5, with ch. i. ;
Ecclus. vi. I with ch. v. 15; Matt. xv. 39 to ch.

first clause of Acts viii. to ch. vii. ; i Cor. xi. i to
ch. X. ; 2 Cor. v. i to ch. iv. ; vii. i to ch. vi. ; Col.
iv. I to ch. iii.; Rev. viii. i to ch. vii. Nor can
anything be worse than the verse divisions at times,
especially in the Old Testament, e.g. Ps. Ixxviii.
30, 31; xcv. 7, 8; Isai. i. t6, 17. We may also
notice that in the Song of the Three Holy Children
the modem verses are, from the commencement,
one in advance of those of 16 11 (see Appendix A,
p. Ixxix.), and that the English verses in John i.
38, &c.; Acts ix. 28, 29; xi. 25, 26; xiii. 32, 33;
2 Cor. xiii. 12, 13 differ slightly from those in
ordinary Greek Testaments.
The headings of the chapters, as also those
set over the several columns of the text, the plan
of this work compels us to dispense with alto-
gether, and nothing considerable is lost by their
omission. The column headings of necessity varied
more or less for every edition which did not (like
the black-letter books of 161 7, 1634, and that of
1640 very nearly) correspond with the standard of
1 6 1 1 page for page : the headings summing up the
contents of each chapter do not much resemble
those previously given either in the Genevan or
in the Great and Bishops' Bibles (which two in
this particular are almost identical), but seem to
be quite original. In the early chapters of the
Acts of the Apostles they are inordinately long.
The variations between our present headings and
those of 161 1, other than mere corrections of the
press, are but twelve in number, that prefixed
to Ps. c.xlix. being the only one of importance ^

Dr Blayney, however, for his edition of 1769, gave
what may be called " a New Version of these head-
ings, bearing somewhat of the same relation to the
Old that Tate and Brady does to Sternhold and
Hopkins. It has been stigmatized by some as a
doctrinal depravation of them, and praised by others
as an improvement. It is in fact a modernization or
dilation of them, with little systematic ditference of
doctrine, but with less force of it, giving however in
many cases a better account of the real contents of
the chapters than the old'." This portion of his
labours Blayney speaks of with complacency in his
Report to the Delegates of the Clarendon Frcss (Ap-
pendix D, p. xcviii.); but whatever might be its
merits, it met with no sort of acceptance. Oxford
Bibles have returned long since to the headings of
1 6 1 1 ; his changes were never adopted at Cambridge.
It was felt, perhaps, that there is much comment of
this kind in the original edition which long prescrip-
tion alone has persuaded men to tolerate, and his
work was rejected not because it was bad, but be-
cause it was new.
The chronological dates placed in the margin of
the present volume are derived from Bishop Lloyd's
Bible of 1701 (above, p. xix.), without any pretence
of vouching for their correctness. They are in
substance taken from Archbishop Usshers Annates
V.etN. Tcstamenii ( 1650 — 4), and are beyond doubt
sufficiently exact to be a real help to the reader, the
data on which they are constructed being always
assumed as true. In the history of the later kings
of Judah modern researches have not been able to
suggest a variation from them of more than two
years. The dates according to the Greek reckon-
ing, set under those of the Hebrew in the first six
books of the Bible, are grounded upon the well-
known differences in respect to numerals between
the text of the Hebrew and of the Septuagint, in
the fifth and eleventh chapters of Genesis. Bp.
Lloyd's dates have not been materially tampered
with since they were first brought into our Bibles,
though in some copies they are repeated more fre-
quently than in others. Lloyd and after him the
books of 1762 and 1769 had assigned to the ninth
chapter of Zechanah the date of B.C. 587 (being
subject the editor is much indebted to an obliging communi-
cation from the Rev. C. K. Paul, of Bailie, Wimborne.
1 Grote MS. (see p. xviii., note i), p. 18.
67 years earlier than that of his first chapter), in
accordance with an opinion, more plausible than
solid, to which Joseph Mede first lent the weight
of his profound learning, that the last six chapters
of that prophecy are the composition of some earlier
writer, who flourished about the period of the Cap-
tivity. Modern Bibles later than 1835 '""^-^^ substi-
tuted in ch. ix. the date of B.C. 517; in Bagster's
edition of 1S46, it is reduced to B.C. 510, in the
American of 1867 to B.C. 487, which is much too
low. A mark of interrogation has simply been
placed by us after this and some other questionable
dates. The year B.C. 791 for the ecUpse referred
to Amos viii. 9, being now known to be incorrect,
other more possible dates have been substituted
within brackets. Injer.xxvii. i,"b.c. 598" is omitted
altogether, as it rests on the needless supposition
that for "Jehoiakini" in the text we ought to read
"Zedekiah. " The like remedy has been applied to
Isai. ix. 8 and x. i, which obviously belong to the
same idyl or ode, and are connected by the same
refrain: yet the one part of it is assigned to B.C.
738, the other to B.C. 713. It would have been
well to have set a query after the date (b.c. S62) of
tha prophecy of Jonah, inasmuch as it is nearly
certain that the Twelve Minor Prophets stand in
the Canon in chronological order: and certainly on
comp.aring Mic. vi. 16, the third chapter of that
book must have been written before the fall of
Samaria, not eleven years after it (b.c 710). In
the second Prologue to Ecclesiasticus "the eight and
thirtieth year" being that of the writer's life, not of
the reign of Euergetes, for B.C. 133 we should pro-
bably read some earlier time. The few dates added
in this volume are included in brackets, and may
perhaps be regarded as at once convenient and cer-
tain: such as that on Esther xi. i. It is not easy to
approve of the boldness of the editor of 1762, who
affixes to Ps. cxx. "cir. 1058," apparently on the
authority of the chapter heading that Doeg is the
enemy referred to, as indeed a comparison of ver. 4
with Ps. lii. I renders not improbable.
The passages of the Old Testament which are
cited in the New we have distinguished by printing
them in spaced type, both in their original places
and where they occur as quotations'. Whensoever

a text is quoted generally, or (as is so often the case)
with variations, those words only are set in spaces
which are truly identical, at least in sense. But we
have not employed this notation where the reference
seems uncertain or remote, such as Ps. Ixvii. 4
alleged by some in Acts xvii. 31, and Gen. vi. 5 or
viii. 21 in James iv. 5.
The present is scarcely a fit opportunity for
discussing at length the merits and faults of the
AuthorizedVersion, which "so laborious, so generally
accurate, so close, so abhorrent of paraphrase, so
grave and weighty in word and rhythm, so intimately
bound up with the religious convictions and asso-
ciations of the English people'" will never yield its
hard-earned supremacy, save to some reverential
and well-considered Revision of which it has been
adopted as the basis, that shall be happy enough to
retain its characteristic excellencies, while amending
its venial errors and supplying its unavoidable
defects. Yet it may not be improper to touch
briefly on one or two particulars, which have not
been prominently noted by others, but have im-
pressed the editor's mind in the prosecution of his
laborious, yet most interesting task.
First then, we mark great inequality in the exe-
cution of the several portions of this version. The
limits of life and human patience would forbid the
whole Bible (including the Apocrypha) from being
committed to the care of a single Company, but it
was surely a mistake to divide the whole body of
Translators into six parties. The Bishops' Bible
indeed seems to have had a fresh translator for
almost every book', and the inconsistency which
p. 8), who notices that the same plan is adopted by the
American Bible Union, and justly prefers it to the method of
the Douay Bible, and indeed of the Rhemish New Testament,
which em|>loyed italics for the same purpose.
• Preface to The Gospel of S. John revised by Five ClerQ'-
men, p. VI. In regard to the rhythm it may be said that
those can best appreciate the Translators' happy skill, who
have tried to improve upon their version. liven such an
expression as " that that " Ezek. xx.\vi. 36; Dan. xi. 36;
Jonah ii. g; Zech. xi. 9 (bis), 16 — all the work of one
Company — is common in so musical a contemporary writer
as Fletcher.
° Fourteen of the sacred books have appended to them
the initials of their translators, eight of these being Bishops,
so far as they can be identified; but "they do not indicate all
the contributors." Westcott, General Viiw of ike History of
such a plan must needs engender may have been
one of the causes which hindered that version from
obtaining general acceptance. No doubt it had
been wisely provided by the King's ninth and
tenth Instructions that " As any one Company hath
despatched any book..., they shall send it to the
rest to be considered of seriously and judiciously;
for His Majesty is very careful in this point:" as
also that " If any Company doubt or differ upon
any place... the difference be compounded at the
general meeting, which is to be of the chief persons
of each company at the end of the work." But
our very meagre information respecting the pro-
gress of the Translators gives us no great reason
to believe that this wholesome device was carried
out in practice (see Sect. i. p. xiv.), while in-
ternal evidence points decidedly to a contrary con-
clusion^ Certain it is that the six or twelve who
■met at Stationers' Hall during the nine months
which immediately preceded publication had mecha-
nical work enough on their hands in carrying the
sheets through the press, without troubling them-
selves much about higher matters. The first West-
minster Company undertook the historical books
from Genesis down to the end of 2 Kings, and
included the great names of Andrewes, then Dean of
Westminster ; of Overall Dean of S. Paul's ; and of
Adrian de Saravia, by birth a Fleming, at that time
Prebendary of Westminster, but best known as the
bosom friend and spiritual counseller of saintlike
Richard Hooker. Compared with other portions
of Holy Scripture their share in the work may seem
the English Bible, p. 135. This is plain both from the manner
in which the initials are distributed, and because the names
of some persons known to have been em)iloyed nowhere
appear. But even in regard to the present Authorized trans-
lation, tradition has assigned a share in the final revision to
Dr Thomas Bilson, Bishop of Winchester, whose name
appears in no list of the six Companies.
3 One instance of this lack of consistency observable in the
different p.arts of our Translation, the more mhuite the better
for our purpose, will serve to illustrate a statement which is no-
toriously true. The Oxford Company, which revised the Pro-
phets, was careful to render the Niphal conjugation of "I3T
with some intensity of meaning, whether wrongly or rightly
matters not. In Ezek. xxxiii. 30 we find " still are talking ;'•
in Mai. iii. x6 "spake often;" three verses before " spoken
so much," where 1629 so little understands what is intended
as to put "w much" in italics. This Niphal form occurs
only once elsewhere, Ps. cxix. 23, where the second Com-
pany simply has "speak."

an easy one, yet the eminent success of the whole
enteqjrise is largely due to the simple dignity of
their style, and the mingled prudence and boldness
wherewith they so blended together the idioms of
two very diverse languages, that the reader is
almost tempted to believe that the genius of his
native tongue must have some subtil aflinity with the
Hebrew. Not inferior to theirs in merit, but far
surpassing it in difficulty, is the work of the third,
or first Oxford Company, the prophets from Isaiah
to Malachi inclusive. This body was presided over
by Dr John Harding, Regius Professor of Hebrew
[1591 — 8; 1604 — 10], in the room of the great
Puritan John Reynolds, President of Corpus Christi
College \_ob. 1607], who is reputed to have first
suggested the new translation at the Hampton
Court Conference (1603—4), full three years before
it was actually commenced. This party included
Dr Richard Kilbye, Rector of Lincoln College
j^ijgo — 1620], afterwards Regius Professor of He-
brew [1610 — 1620], whose testimony to the anxious
pains devoted to this version, as preserved by Isaac
Walton, will be most readily credited by those
whose privilege it has been to bear a part in similar
conferences, directed to the same great end'.
It needs but the comparison of a single chapter of
Isaiah, for instance, as rendered by the Authorized
translation, with that in the Bishops' Bible which
was adopted as the ground of their labours, to
estimate very highly the manifold improvements
effected by this Company. The common notion
that the Minor Prophets are less felicitously ren-
dered than the four Greater, must be modified by
the consideration that three or four of the Twelve,
1 " Tlie Doctor going to a Pftrish Church in Derbyshire
...found the young preacher to have no moie discretion than
to waste a great part of the hour allotted for his sermon in
exceptions against the late tran^-lation of several words {not
expecting such a hearer as Dr Kilbye), and shewed three
reasons why a particular word should have been otherwise
translated. When Evening Prayer was ended, the preacher
was invited to the Doctor's friend's house, where after some
other conference the Doctor told him, he "might have
preached more useful doctrine, and not have filled his audi-
tors' ears with needless exceptions against the late translation ;
and for that word for which he offered to that poor congrega-
tion three reasons why it ought to have been translated as he
said, he and others had considered all of them, and found
thirteen more considerable reasons why it was translated as
now printed." 'Walton, Life of Sauda-son, p. 367 (Zouch,
1807).
as well from their pregnant brevity as from the
obscurity of their allusions, are among the very
hardest books of the Bible in the original, whose
difficulties no faithful translator would wish to
dissemble or conceal. Respecting the second, or
first Cambridge Company, which sustained irrepar-
able loss by the death of Edward Lively, Regius
Professor of Hebrew [1580 — 1606], before their
task was fairly begun, his successor also, R. Spalding,
apparently dying a year after, it may be confessed
that its version of Job is very unsatisfactory, nor
indeed could it well be otherwise before the breaking
forth of that flood of light which Albert Schultens
long afterwards (1737) shed upon it from the cog-
nate languages. A more legitimate subject of com-
plaint is the prosaic tone of its translation of the
Psalms, which, however exact and elaborate, is so
spiritless as to be willingly used by but few that are
familiar with the version in the Book of Common
Prayer ; a recension which, though derived imme-
diately from the Great Bible, is in substance the
work of that consummate master of rhythmical
prose. Bishop Miles Coverdale. Of the other three
Companies it will suffice to re-echo the general
verdict, that the Epistles, entrusted to persons
sitting at Westminster of whom little is now known,
are worse done than any other part of the Canonical
Scriptures, and bear no comparison with the Gospels,
the Acts (which book is especially good, as indeed
is its prototype in the preceding version, from the
hand of Bishop Cox of Ely), and Apocalypse, as re-
vised by the second Oxford Company, on which
served Sir Henry Savile, then the most famous Greek
scholar in England. In the New Testament, as was
both right and almost necessary, the renderings of the
older English versions were more closely adhered
to than in the Old. Of the performance of the
fourth, or second Cambridge Company, to which
the Apocrypha was consigned, little favourable can
be said. It was the earliest party to complete its
share, as appears from the fact that John Bois (above,
pp. xiii., xiv.) was transfeiTed to the first Cambridge
Company after his proper task herein was com-
pleted ^ A formal correction of the text, often so

obviously corrupt, might have been impossible with
the means within their reach; yet it required very
little critical discrimination to perceive the vast
superiority of that which they perpetually appeal to
as the "Roman edition" (p. xxvii.) over the older
recensions of the Complutensian and Aldus. For
the rest, they are contented to leave many a render-
ing of the Bishops' Bible as they found it, when
nearly any change must have been for the better ;
even where their predecessor sets them a better
example they resort to undignified, mean, almost
vulgar words and phrases ' ; and on the whole they
convey to the reader's mind the painful impression
of having disparaged the importance of their own
work, or of having imperfectly realised the truth
that what is worth doing at all is worth doing welP.
Nor can the attentive student of the Authorized
Version fail to marvel at the perfect and easy com-
mand over the English language exhibited by its
authors on every page. The fulness and variety
That part of the Bible was given to him who was most
excellent in such a tongiie — as the Apocrypha to Andrew
Downes" [Regius Professor of Greek, 1585 — 1625]. He
adds moreover this interesting piece of information, to what-
ever part of the work it may apply: "Then they met toge-
ther, and one read the translation, the rest holding in their
hands some Bible, eitlier of the learned tongues, or French
[Olivdan 1535, The Pastors' 1588], Spanish [Pirw/ 1553, De
Rcyna 1569, Dc Valera 1602], Italian [Bniccioli 1532?, or
more probably Diodati 1607], &c. If they found any fault,
they spoke; if not, he read on." We hear nothing from him
of Luther's Gernian [1522, &c.], which, however, is no doubt
the "Dutch" of the Translators' Preface {infra, p. cxvi.), a
passage that Selden probably had in his mind.

" Cocker thy child" Ecclus. xxx. 9 ; " a shrewd turn" Ecclus.

our version.
^ The foregoing estimate of the relative merits of the
several portions of our version differs only in one particular
from that of its sturdy opponent Dr Robert Gell : " The
further we proceedin survey of the Scripture, the Translation
is the more faulty, as the Hagiographa more than the Histo-
rical Scripture, and the Prophets more than the Hagio-
grapha [?], and the Apocrypha most of all ; and generally tlie
New more than the Old Testament." (An Essay tvuiard the
amendment of the last English Translation of the Bible, 1659.
Preface, pp. 38, 39.)
of their diction, the raciness of their idiomatic re-
sources, seem almost to defy imitation, while they
claim our just and cheerful admiration. We need
not extenuate that great error of judgment which is
acknowledged to be the capital defect of the Trans-
lation, especially in the New Testament, in that the
same foreign word is perpetually translated by seve-
ral English ones, while on the other hand a single
English word is made to represent two or three in
the original, and that too in the same context,
where the cogency of the argimient or the perspi-
cuity of the narrative absolutely depends on iden-
tity in the rendering. But in avoiding this conspi-
cuous fault of the men of 161 1, some modern re-
visers whose efforts are already before the public
have fallen into the opposite mistake of forcing the
same English word to stand for the saine Hebrew
or Greek one where there is no real need for preserv-
ing such slavish uniformity, thus at once impoverish-
ing our native tongue which is so much more copious
than either of the others, and casting over the ver^
sion an air of baldness very painful to a cidtivated
taste. Let us take for an example of the beautiful
flexibility of their English style the numberless de-
vices our Translators resort to while endeavouring
to convey the intensive force of the Hebrew gerun-
dial infinitive when used with some finite form of
the selfsame verb, of which the earliest example
occurs in Gen. iii. 4, "Ye shall not surely die."
The passages are cited almost at random and

to maintain idiom, have sometimes sacrificed vi-
gour'."
Tile editor earnestly trusts that no apology is
necessary for the labour Iiestowed in this volume
on the English text and marginal references of the
Apocrypha. So long as that very miscellaneous
collection of books shall comprise a part of the
Holy Bible in its largest form, or lessons shall be
selected from it for the course of Divine service, it
deserves far more regard than has been paid to it
in recent times, even by those who have under-
taken to reprint it. But the frequent and exact
study of a large portion of the Apocryphal writings
may be vindicated on higher grounds by such as
most loyally accept the rule that " the Church doth
read them for example of life and instruction of
manners; but yet doth it not apply them to esta-
blish any doctrine." Few more conspicuous in-
stances can be alleged of the tendency in man's na-
ture to rush into extremes than the strong reaction
to their prejudice which has set in since the Refor-
mation, by way of protest against the error that
had placed the greater part of them on a level in
point of authority with the Canonical books of the
Old Testament. Add to this that by some unto-
ward accident those portions of the Apocrypha
which deserve the least esteem have become best
known, as in the case of the History of Susanna
(unfit for public reading, for all its delicate touches
of natural beauty), and of the grotesque story of
Bel and the Dragon. Yet Ecclesiasticus and the
first book of the Maccabees, written in the second
century before the Christian sra, are among the
noblest of uninspired compositions; if indeed their
authors, so full of faith and holy fear, can be re-
garded as entirely uninspired. The second book
of the Maccabees also, though greatly inferior to
the first in respect of energy, judgment, veracity,
and correct taste, abounds in passages fraught with
encouragement to those who in every age shall
be called upon to suffer for the truth's sake; not
to add that it powerfully illustrates the eleventh
chapter and other parts of Daniel's prophecies.

proximates in tone to the spirit of Christ more
nearly than any book without the Canon ; the Epi-
stle of S. James is full of allusions to it, and to
the first five Chapters of Ecclesiasticus. Judith
too is a fine work; grave, elevated, pious, chaste in
thought and expression, exquisitely finished. Were
it not buried where it is, it would long since have
attracted the admiration it deserves; but it is not
history, and does not claim to be such. It is fable
constructed with a moral purpose; and must have
stirred up the heart of many a Jewish patriot in
that heroic struggle for liberty and religion whose
details fill the books of the Maccabees. For the
remaining books less can be said. Tobit, probably
the oldest of them all, exhibits a pleasing picture
of the prosperity of a religious household in the land
of their captivity : the main outlines seem cor-
rect, though sadly deformed by childish supersti-
tions, which are more visible in the Old Latin ver-
sion followed by the Bishops' Bible, than in our
own which adhered to the Greek. Baruch, though of
course apseudonym, contains some excellent poetry:
the Prayer of Manasses and the Song of the Three
Children need no praise. It is difficult to deter-
mine the precise relation of i Esdras to the Cano-
nical books of Ezra and Nehemiah: after all the
trouble bestowed upon it, we can but conclude that
it contains not much intrinsically valuable. " The
rest of the book of Esther" seems worth little for
any purpose, since it is founded on a radically false
conception of the character of two of the most
worldly-minded persons God ever employed in the
dispensations of His Providence, and rewarded for
their obedience with blessings purely temporal.
The remaining book, the second of Esdras, is a
curious composition, not very fitly placed in the
same volume as the rest, and never accounted ca-
nonical by any branch of the Church. Though
extant only in Latin, it betrays on every page its
Hebrew original; but since no considerable portion
of it can be earlier than the second century after
Christ, what it has in common with the Revelation
and other books of the New Testament is drawn
from them, not they from it. It can hardly be
questioned that the fortunes of the Roman empe-
rors during the first century are herein figuratively
depicted. The celebrated passage ch. vii. 26 — 35
bears every appearance of interpolation.
It may be thought seemly in the editor to

plead some excuse for the long time this work has
been in hand, or at least for the unexpected delay
which has ensued since the publication of its earlier
Parts. Hindrances indeed and grave ones he has
met with, but to detail them could interest none
who are not already acquainted with them. The
main causes of all were the great labour demanded
by this employment, and an ever-growing sense of
the duty of avoiding haste, but for which any one
of those that had assayed the same task before
him, would have accomplished it thoroughly once
for all. Their short-comings (for, compared with
what the case required, Blayney and those who
preceded him must be held to have fallen greatly
short) might justly prove a warning to one who was
treading in their steps, and induce him to store up
for his profit the words of a living Divine, himself
as able as most men et properare loco ct ccssarc:
" \Vhen we consider the errors and failures that
mark every stage in our most deliberate and most
matured progress in merely secular subjects, we
may well pause before we presume to hurry through
the sanctuary of God with the dust and turmoil of
worldly, self-seeking, and irreverent speed'."
Finally, it is right to state very explicitly that
the Syndics of the Cambridge University Press,
after having arranged with the editor the general
plan of this volume first projected by themselves,
were pleased to leave all details to his judg-
ment; and furthermore, that he alone is respon-

* To distinguish 7N''V1 (Jeiel) from ^XTI^ (Jehiel) of ver. 20. In
this verse and ch. xvi, 5 both names occur, and are thus distinguished in
161 1. "Jeiel" is right ver. 21 and in ch. v. 7; " Jehier' in ch. xxiii. 8 ;
2 Chr. xxi. 2 ; xxix. 14 ; xxxi. 13 ; xxxv. 8 ; Ezra viii. 9 ; x. 2, 21, 26.
See also 2 Chr. xx. 14 ; xxix. 13.
" In ver. 4 the vowel points are different, and " Jerimoth" correct.
3 A strange oversight (retained up to 1630) in a matter about which
our Translators are u<.ually more careful than later editors, viz. in repre-
senting X\\T\\ by LoRD(orGoD, seep.]xviii.,notei)but ^j'lX by "Lord"
or "lord." In ch. xxix. 15 marg. " Lord " is a misprint, the text being
correct. Compare also Neh. i. 11; iii. 5; viii. 10. Ps. ii. 4, and Ap-

both of 1629 and 1638 {which all later editions have followed) are
plainly intentional, and unique for their boldness. In this volume we
have changed the comma after *'hopc" into a semicolon, although the
Hebrew has only Kebia, and Athnakk in the word before. Grote MS,

made in some other places, e.g. Matt. xi. 27 ; ch. xiii. 32. In John x. 28
" any," 29 " none " of 1638 — 1762, are rejected by 1769 and later Bibles

printed in italic type.

Easter) follows the reading of 161 1, as does the Gospel for Palm Sunday
in Matt, xxvii. 52, "of saints which slept," not "the saints," as in 1762
and later Bibles. See Cardwell, Ox/ard BMes, p. 14.

^ The noun in pausa is no doubt singular, and so LXX. Vulg. have it
in Ps. vi. 4 ; xxxi. 16. Our Translators may have meant '*mercies"to
be singular, as they so spell "mercy" about four times out of ten. In
that case 1769 would be the first to go wrong. See p. Ixix., note 4.
' The marginal "bring unto" (b not B, 1611— 1638) cannot be meant
for the imperative, but renders differentes super of Tremellius.

The Hoo Issues of the Bible of iGii compared.
Catalogue of variations (not being very manifest misprints) between the two issues of the Authorized
Version of 1611, represented by Camb. Synd. A. 3. 14 and the O.xford reprint of 1S33 respectively. See
Introduction, Sect. i. pp. xii. xiv. Wheresoever the contrary is not stated, the British Museum copies,
3050. g. 2, 3050. g. 3, and 1276. 1. 4, have been ascertained to agree with Camb. Synd. A. 3. 14.

§ I. The readings of Camb. Synd. A. 3. 14 have been preferred in forming the text of the present
volume in the following places :

(Hesronites Bp. Oxf. 161 2, 16 13, &c.). Deut. viii.
7 the valleys (valleys Bp. Oxf. 1612, 1613, &c.).
' The readings of the Bishops' Bible are added in some places, in
case that any should think that light may be thrown upon the origin of
these variations by the Bible from which, as it would seem, our own
version was set up for the press. Inferences thus drawn seem to the
editor for the most part too slight to be relied on. See, however, the next
note.
^ Since Bp. has "hoops" in both verses (lo, ii), though for the word
rendered "fillets" in 1611, it is not unlikely that Oxf. was set up from a
copy oi Bfi., and the same inference might be drawn from other places,
where Bp. and Oa]/. minutely coincide.

Note. Between the two copies in the British Museum which icsemljle the Oxford reprint (3050. g. i and 466.
i. 6) the only differences in any of the passages cited in the foregoing hsls § I. and § II. occur in Ex. xxi. id ;
Cant. ii. 7. Of the other issue, B. M. 3050. g. 2 being regarded as the standard, and 3050. g. 3, 1276. 1. 4, and
Synd. A. 3. 14 mixed copies, the Syndics' nowliere agrees willi 3050. g. 2 against the other two, but with 30,^0. g. 3
alone in Ezek. v. 5 ; with 3050. g. i and 1-276. I. 4 against 3050. g. 3 in 15 places ; with 3050. g. 3 and 1276. 1. 4
against 3050. g. 1 in <; ])laces ; with 1276. 1. 4 alone (which is a fine tall volume, once the property of Lea Wilson)
in no less than 34 places. Not one of the four is ever left without one copy to countenance it, except Synd. in
2 Kin. xviii. 37 (p. Ixx.) ; i Chr. iv. 36. Hence it is plain that Synd. A. 3. 14 and B. M. 1276. 1. 4 were among
the earliest and least revised of the copies printed off.

APPENDIX D.
Blayncys Report to the Ra'. the Vicc-Chancelior, and the other Delegates of the Clarendon Press.
n^HE Editor of the two editions of the Bible
-^ lately printed at the Clarendon Press thinks
it his duty, now that he has completed the whole
in a course of between three and four years close
application, to make his report to the Delegates of
the manner in which that work has been executed ;
and hopes for their approbation.
In the first place, according to the instructions
he received, the folio edition of 1611, that of 1701,
published under the direction of Bishop Lloyd, and
two Cambridge editions of a late date, one in
Quarto, the other in octavo, have been carefully
collated, whereby many errors that were found in
former editions have been corrected, and the text
reformed to such a standard of purity, as, it is
presumed, is not to be met with in any other edi-
tion hitherto extant.
The punctuation has been carefully attended
to, not only with a view to presei-ve the true sense,
but also to uniformity, as far as was possible.
Frequent recourse has been had to the Hebrew
and Greek Originals ; and as on other occasions,
so with a special regard to the words not expressed
in the Original Language, but which our Translators
have thought fit to insert in Italics, in order to
make out the sense after the English idiom, or to
preserve the connexion. And though Dr Paris
made large corrections in this particular in an edi-
tion published at Cambridge, there still remained
many necessary alterations, which escaped the Doc-
tor's notice ; in making which the Editor chose not
to rely on his own judgment singly, but submitted
them all to the previous examination of the Select
Committee, and particularly of the Principal of
Hertford College', and Mr Professor Wheeler. A
list of the above alterations was intended to have
been given in to the Vice Chancellor at this time,
but the Editor has not yet found time to make it
completely out.
Considerable alterations have been made in the
Heads or Contents prefixed to the Chapters, as
will ai)pear on inspection ; and though the Editor
is unwilling to enlarge upon the labour bestowed
by himself in this particular, he cannot avoid taking
notice of the peculiar obligations, which both him-
self and the public lie under to the Principal of
Hertford College, Mr Griffith of Pembroke College,
Mr Wheeler, Poetry Professor^ and the late Warden
of New College ^ so long as he lived to bear a part
in it ; who with a prodigious expence of time,
and inexpressible fatigue to themselves, judiciously
corrected and improved the rude and imperfect
Draughts of the Editor.
The running titles at the top of the columns
in each page, how trifling a circumstance soever it
may appear, required no small degree of thought
and attention.
Many of the proper names being left untrans-
lated, whose etymology was necessary to be known,
in order to a more perfect comprehension of the
allusions in the text, the translation of them, under
the inspection of the above named Committee, has
been for the benefit of the unlearned supplied in
the margin.
Some obvious and material errors in the chro-
nology have been considered and rectified.
The marginal references, even in Bishop Lloyd's
Bible, had in many places suffered by the inaccu-
racy of the Press ; subsequent editions had copied
those Errata., and added many others of their own ;
so that it became absolutely necessary to turn
to and compare the several passages ; which has
been done in every single instance, and by this
precaution several false references brought to light,
which would otherwise have passed unsuspected.
It has been the care of the Editor to rectify these,
as far as he could, by critical conjecture, where the
copies uni\ersally failed him, as they did in most

APPENDIX D.
XCIX
of the errors discovered in Bishop Lloyd's edition.
In some few instances he confesses himself to have
been at a loss in finding out the true reference,
though the corruption was manifest in the want of
any the most distant resemblance between the pas-
sages compared together. Cases of this sort indeed
did not often occur ; so that a very small number
only of the old references are, with the sanction of
the Committee, omitted, and their places more
usefully supplied.
It had been suggested by the late Archbishop of
Canterbury', that an improvement might be made
in the present editions of the Bible, by taking in a
number of additional references, of which many
useful ones, as he supposed, might be furnished
from other editions refeiTed to by him, and particu-
larly from a Scotch edition, of which the present
Vice-Chancellor was kind enough to lend a Copy.
The references found in it, which were indeed very
numerous, having been severally turned to and
examined, such of them were selected as the Editor
judged most pertinent, together with others that
occurred from his own reading and observation.
In doing this he has endeavoured to keep clear of
mere fanciful allusions, of which too many pre-
sented themselves in the before named Scotch edi-
tion ; and to adhere as near as possible to the plan
marked out in the former collection made by Bishop
Lloyd ; pointing out such passages chiefly, where
the same history or the same name were intro-
duced, the same matter treated of, or sentiment
expressed, or at least where parallels might fairly be
drawn ; and sometimes where a similar use of a par-
ticular word or expression tended to illustrate the
application of it, on another occasion. The num-
ber of References being thus augmented considera-
bly, the Collection upon the whole will, it is hoped,
be regarded as useful in the light of a Concord-
ance, material as well as verbal, always at hand.
In this state the Quarto Copy was sent to press ;
and the first proofs carefully collated with the Copy
both text and margin ; after which the second
proofs were again read, and generally speaking, the
third likewise ; not to mention the frequent revi-
sions of proofs besides, which are common in cor-
recting the press. This proved indeed a very tire-
some and tedious task ; but was not more than
was absolutely necessary in order to attain the
degree of accuracy that was wished. A particular
attention was required with respect to the figures
belonging to the marginal References, where errors
were continually creeping in after a manner that
would appear highly astonishing to those, who have
never been concerned in correcting multitudes of
figures, as they came from the press.
When the Quarto Sheets, were printed off", the
Forms were lengthened out in order to make up
the Folio Edition ; in doing which the parts were
often so jumbled together, and such Confusion
introduced by misplacing the References and mis-
taking the Chronology, that nothing else would
suffice than a fresh Collation of the whole with the
Quarto Copy, and a repetition of almost the same
trouble and care in the revisal, and in making up
the running Titles anew, as had been used before.
But the Editor thinks he has just reason to congra-
tulate himself on the opportunity hereby given him
of discovering and correcting some few trivial inac-
curacies, which in spite of all his vigilance had
escaped his notice in the Quarto Edition. So that
the Folio Edition is rendered by this somewhat
the more perfect of the two, and therefore more fit
to be recommended for a standard Copy.
The Editor humbly hopes this Account of his
proceedings will not be unacceptable to the Board;
and will think his time and pains not ill bestowed,
if he shall have succeeded in his desire of giving
satisfaction to those who honoured him w^ith the
employment, and of contributing in any wise to
God's honour, and the public utility.

3 The marked inferiority of Stephens* text in the Apocalypse will be
seen to arise from his following Erasmus in preference to the Compluten-

Beza's conjectural reading irai' to for TraVra. Rev.

laid on the variation between the present and future

Erasm., Steph., Beza 1565, "shall be finished"
other English versions after Vulg. But Beza's last

"should be finished" of the Authorized.
Postscript on note i, fagc xix.
His Grace the Archbishop has permitted the
editor to search for himself the Records of the
Convocation of the Province of Canterbury, with
the following results. No trace of any synodical j
action about a new edition of the Bible in 1699
now remains either in the Registers or in the
Schedules, which for that year are not complete.
Those for 1703 (the year ending on March 24) are
all preserved, and in a long list of Gravamina,
brought to the Upper House on Feb. ii, i7o|, as
"The humble representation of the Lower House,"
one article declares "That in some late editions of
the Holy Bible and of the Liturgy of the Church of
England, several gross errors have been committed."
The temper of the whole document, as well as the
express testimony of Lewis, renders it likely that the
complaint was aimed chiefly at Lloyd's edition by
men willing enough to wound, but half afraid to
strike.

THE
TRANSLATORS TO THE READER;
Sng'fh've yEAL to promote the common good,
been caium- i—i whether it bc by devising any thing
ourselves, or revising that which hath
been laboured by others, deserveth cer-
tainly much respect and esteem, but yet
findeth but cold entertainment in the
world. It is welcomed with suspicion in-
stead of love, and vv-ith emulation instead
of thanks: and if there be any hole left
for cavil to enter, (and cavil, if it do not
find a hole, will make one) it is sure to
be misconstrued, and in danger to be
condemned. This will easily be granted
by as many as know story, or have any
experience. For was there ever any
thing projected, that savoured any way
of newness or renewing, but the same
endured many a storm of gainsaying or
opposition? A man would think that ci-
vility, wholesome laws, learning and elo-
quence, synods, and Church-maintenance,
(that we speak of no more things of this
kind) should be as safe as a sanctuary,
«fu^.-Aou!. and 'out of shot, as they say, that no
man would lift up the heel, no, nor dog
move his tongue against the motioners of
them. For by the first we are distin-
guished from brute beasts led with sensu-
ality: by the second we are bridled and
restrained from outrageous behaviour,
and from doing of injuries, whether by
fraud or by violence: by the third we are
enabled to infoma and reform others, by
the light and feeling that we have attain-
ed unto ourselves : briefly, by the fourth,
being brought together to a parle face
to face, we sooner compose our differ-
ences than by ^^Titings, which are end-
less: and lastly, that the Church be suf-
ficiently provided for is so agreeable to
good reason and conscience, that those
mothers are holden to be less cruel, that
kill their children as soon as they are
born, than those nursing fathers and mo-
thers (wheresoever they be) that withdraw
from them who hang upon their breasts
(and upon whose breasts again them-
selves do hang to receive the spiritual
and sincere milk of the word) livelihood
and support fit for their estates. Thus it
is apparent, that these things which we
speak of are of most necessary use, and
therefore that none, either without ab-
surdity can speak against them, or with-
out note of wickedness can spurn against
them.
Yet for all that, the learned know that
certain worthy men have been brought to
untimely death for none other fault, but
for seeking to reduce their countrymen
to good order and discipline: and that
in some Commonweals it was made a
capital crime, once to motion the making
of a new law for the abrogating of an old,
though the same were most pernicious:
And that certain, which would be count-
ed pillars of the State, and patterns of
virtue and prudence, could not be brought
for a long time to give way to good let-
ters and refined speech; but bare them-
selves as averse from them, as from rocks
or boxes of poison: .^nd fourthly, that he
was no babe, but a great clerk, that gave
forth, (and in writing to remain to pos-
terity) in passion peradventure, but yet
he gave forth, That he had not seen any
profit to come by any synod or meeting
of the Clergy, but rather the contrary :
And lastly, against Church-maintenance
and allowance, in such sort as the ambas-
sadors and messengers of the great King
of kings should be furnished, it is not un-
known what a fiction or fable (so it is
esteemed, and for no better by the re-
porter himself, though superstitious) was
devised : namely. That at such time as
the professors and teachers of Christianity
in the Church of Rome, then a tnie
Church, were liberally endowed, a voice
forsooth was heard from heaven, saying,

Now is poison poured down into the
Church, &^c. Thus not only as oft as we
speak, as one saith, but also as oft as we
do any thing of note or consequence, we
subject ourselves to every one's censure,
and happy is he that is least tossed upon
tongues ; for utterly to escape the snatch
of them it is impossible. If any man
conceit that this is the lot and portion of
the meaner sort only, and that princes
are privileged by their high estate, he is
deceived. As /he siuord devoureth as well
one as another, as it is in Samuel; nay, as
the great commander charged his soldiers
in a certain battle to strike at no part of
the enemy, but at the face ; and as the
king of Syria commanded his chief cap-
tains to fight neither roith small nor great,
save only against the king of Israel: so it
is too true, that envy striketh most spite-
fully at the fairest, and at the chiefest.
David was a worthy prince, and no man
to be compared to him for his first deeds ;
and yet for as worthy an act as ever he
did, even for bringing back the ark of
God in solemnity, he was scorned and
scoffed at by his own wife. Solomon was
greater than David, though not in virtue,
yet in power; and by his power and wis-
dom he built a temple to the Lord, such
a one as was the glory of the land of
Israel, and the wonder of the whole
world. But was that his magnificence
liked of by all? We doubt of it. Otherwise
why do they lay it in his son's dish, and
call unto him for 'easing of the burden?
Make, say they, the grieimcs servitude of
thy father, and his sore yoke, lighter. Be-
like he had charged them with some
levies, and troubled them with some car^
riages; hereupon they raise up a tragedy,
and wish in their heart the temple had
never been built. So hard a thing it is
to please all, even when we please God
best, and do seek to approve ourselves to
every one's conscience.
If we will descend to later times, we
shall find many the like e.xamples of such
kind, or rather unkind, acceptance. The
first Roman Emperor did never do a
more pleasing deed to the learned, nor
more profitable to posterity, for conserv-
ing the record of times in true supputa-
tion, than when he corrected the Calen-
dar, and ordered the year according to
the course of the sun : and yet this was
imputed to him for novelty and arro-
gancy, and procured to him great oblo-
quy. So the first Christened Emperor,
(at the leastwise, that openly professed
the faith himself, and allowed others to
do the like) for strengthening the empire
at his great charges, and providing for
the Church, as he did, got for his labour
the name Fupillus, as who would say, a
wasteful Prince, that had need of a guar-
dian or overseer. So the best Christened
Emperor, for the love that he bare unto
peace, thereby to enrich both himself and
his subjects, and because he did not seek
war, but find it, was judged to be no man
at arms, (though in deed he excelled in
feats of cliivalry, and shewed so much
when he was provoked) and condemned
for giving himself to his ease, and to his
[pleasure. To be short, the most learned
Emperor of former times, (at the least,
the greatest politician) what thanks had
he for cutting off the superfluities of the
laws, and digesting them into some order
and method? This, that he hath been
blotted by some to be an Epitomist, that
is, one that extinguished worthy whole
volumes, to bring his abridgments into
request. This is the measure that hath
been rendered to excellent Princes in
former times, even, eum bene facerent,
male audire, for their good deeds to be
evil spoken of. Neither is there any
likelihood that envy and malignity died
and were buried with the ancient. No,
no, the reproof of Moses taketh hold of
most ages. You are risen up iti your fathers''
stead, an increase of sinful men. IVhat is
that that hath been done 1 that 7uhich shall
be done: and there is no new thing under
the sun, saitli the wise man : and S. Ste-
phen. As your fathers did, so do ye. This,
and more to this purpose, his Majesty
that now reigneth (and long and long
may he reign, and his offspring for ever.
Himself and children and children's chil-
dren ahvays^) knew full w-ell, according
to the singular wisdom given unto him
by God, and the rare learning and expe-
rience that he hath attained unto; name-
ly, that whosoever attempteth any thing
for the publick, (specially if it pertain
to religion, and to the opening and clear-
ing of the word of God) the same setteth
himself upon a stage to be glouted upon
by every evil eye; yea, he casteth himself
headlong upon pikes, to be gored by
every sharp tongue. For he that med-
dleth with men's religion in any part
meddleth with their custom, nay, wjth
their freehold; and though they find no
content in that which they have, yet they

practices. It doth certainly belong unto
kings, yea, it doth specially belong unto
them, to have care of religion, yea, to
know it aright, yea, to profess it zealous-
ly, yea, to promote it to the uttermost of
their power. This is their glory before
all nations which mean well, and this will
bring unto them a far most excellent
weight of glory in the day of the Lord
Jesus. For the Scripture saith not in
vain, T/iem that honour me I will honour:
neither was it a vain word that Eusebius
delivered long ago. That piety towards
God was the weapon, and the only wea-
pon, that both preserved Constantines per-
son, and avenged him of his enemies.
But now what piety without truth?
What truth, what saving truth, without
the word of God? What word of God,
whereof we may be sure, without the
Scripture? The Scriptures we are com-
manded to search. John 5. 39. Isaiah
8. 20. They are commended that search-
ed and studied them. Acts 17. ii. and
8. 28, 29. They are reproved that were
unskilful in them, or slow to believe
them. Matth. 22. 21). Luke 2.^. 2$. They
can make us wise unto salvation. 2 Tim.
3. 15. If we be ignorant, they will in-
struct us; if out of the way, they will
bring us home; if out of order, they will
reform us ; if in heaviness, comfort us ; if
dull, quicken us; if cold, inflame us.
Tolle, lege; tolle, lege; Take up and read,
take up and read tlie .Scriptures, (for unto
them was the direction) it was said unto
S. Augustine by a supernatural voice.
IVhatsoever is in the Scriptures, belia'e me,
saith the same S. Augustine, is high and
divine; there is verily truth, and a doctrine
tnost fit for the refreshing and renezaing of
men's minds, and truly so tempered, that
every one may draw from thence that which
is sufficient for him, if he come to draw
with a devout and pious mind, as true re^
ligion requireth. Thus S. Augustine. And
S. Hierome, Ama Scripturas, et amabit te
sapientia, &:c. Love the Scriptures, and
wisdom will love thee. And S. Cyrill s. Cyriii. f
against Julian, Even boys that aj-e bred up l^lj^*^
in the Scriptures, become most religious, &c. 7"iianiim
But what mention we three or four uses [„i"oW
of the Scripture, whereas whatsoever is to '■^'•"''■^ «'''■^-
be believed, or practised, or hoped for, is ■^sii^^a.ai.v
contained in them? or three or four sen- v^i'-'v"-"""
tences of the Fathers, since whosoever is on hoAio-h
worthy the name of a Father, from Christ's \Zt\"''''^'
time downward, hath likewise written not
only of the riches, but also of the perfec-
tion of the Scripture? I adore the fulness T,-ri„i.
of the Scripture, saith Tertullian against "hT.^'.'^^
Hermogenes. And again, to Apellcs a ['«/• ==]•
heretick of the like stamp he saith, / do clnlchrM.
not admit that 7vhich thou bringest in (or '^"'^- ^^^
concludest) of thine own (head or store,

Martyr before him; We must know by all l^^^^-"l^^„
means (saith he) that it is not lawful (or ['«/■ ssjjw.j.
possible) to learn (any thing) of God or of """■
right piety, save only out of the Prophets,
laho teach us by divine inspiration. .So

falling aKiay from the faith, and a fault of \a,p"''"^^'!"'
presumption, either to reject any of those "4]- ,
things that are7arttten, or to bring in (upon Kanjyopi'o.
the head of them, tVtio-aycii') any of those
things that are not written. We omit to

Jerusalem, in his 4. Cateches. Sa.\ntI/ierome
against Jlelvidius, Saint Augustine in his
third book against the letters of Petiliau,
and in very many other places of his
works. Also we forbear to descend to
latter Fath'ers, because we will not weary
the reader. The Scriptures then being
acknowledged to be so full and so per-
fect, how can we excuse ourselves of ne-
gligence, if we do not study them? of cu-
riosity, if we be not content with them?

selves, and put the enemy to flight. It is
not an herb, but a tree, or rather a whole |
l)aradise of trees of life, which bring forth
fruit every month, and the fruit thereof is
for meat, and the leaves for medicine. It
is not a pot of Alanna or a cruse of oil,
which were for memory only, or for a
meal's meat or two; but as it were a
shower of heavenly bread sufficient for a
whole host, be it never so great, and as it
were a whole cellar full of oil vessels;
whereby all our necessities may be pro-
vided for, and our debts discharged. In
a word, it is a panary of wholesome food
against fenowed* traditions; a physician's
shop (Saint Basil calleth it) of preserva-
tives against poisoned heresies ; a pandect
of profitable laws against rebellious spirits ;
a treasury of most costly jewels against
beggarly rudiments ; finally, a fountain of
most pure water springing up unto ever-
lasting life. And what marvel? the ori-
ginal thereof being from heaven, not from
earth; the author being God, not man;
the inditer, the Holy Spirit, not the wit
of the Apostles or Prophets; the penmen,
such as were sanctified from the womb,
and endued with a principal portion of
God's Spirit; the matter, verity, piety,
purity, uprightness ; the form, God's word,
God's testimony, God's oracles, the word
of truth, the word of salvation, c?-r. ; the
efiects, light of understanding, stableness
of persuasion, repentance from dead
works, newness of life, holiness, peace,
joy in the Holy Ghost; lastly, the end
and reward of the study thereof, fellow-
ship with the saints, participation of the
heavenly nature, fruition of an inherit-
ance immortal, undefiled, and that never
shall fade away: Happy is the man that
delighteth in the Scripture, and thrice
ha]_)py that meditateth in it day and
night.
But how shall men meditate in that
which they cannot understand? How
shall they understand that which is kept
close in an unknown tongue? as it is writ-
ten. Except I know the power of the voice,
I shall he to him that spcaketh a barbarian,
and he that spcaketh shall be a barbarian
to me. The Apostle excepteth no tongue;
not Hebrew the ancientest, not Greek the
most copious, not Latin the finest. Na-
ture taught a natural man to confess, that
all of us in those tongues which we do
not understand are plainly deaf; we may
turn the deaf ear unto them. The Scyth-
ian counted the Athenian, wliom he did
not understand, barbarous : so the Roman
did the Syrian and the Jew: (even S. .s". Hie-

though Pope Nicolas do storm at it : so 2 Tom.

lation it is that openeth the window, to
let in the light; that breaketh the shell,
that we may eat the kernel; that putteth
aside the curtain, that we may look into
the most holy place; that removeth the
cover of the well, that we may come by
the water; even asjacob rolled away the Gen. 29. 10.
stone from the mouth of the well, by
which means the flocks of Laban were
watered. Indeed without translation into
the vulgar tongue, the unlearned are but
like children at Jacob's well (which was John 4- "•
deep) without a bucket or something to
draw with: or as that person mentioned

world, whom God ordained to be a re-
conciliation through faith in his blood,
not of the Jeii^ only, but also of the
Greek, yea, of all them that were scat-
tered abroad; then lo, it pleased the
Lord to stir up the spirit of a Greek
Prince, {Greek for descent and language)
even of L'tolcmy Philadelph king of E.iypt,
to procure the translating of the book of
God out of Hebrc7v into Greek. This is
the translation of the Seventy interpreters,
commonly so called, which prepared the
way for our Saviour among the Gentiles
by written preaching, as Saint_/('//;/ Baptist
did among the Jnus by vocal. For the

Grecians^ being desirous of learning, were
not wont to suffer books of worth to lie
mouiding in kings' libraries, but had
many of their servants, ready scribes, to
copy them out, and so they were dis-
persed and made common. Again, the
Greek tongue was well known and made
familiar to most inhabitants in Asia by
reason of the conquest that there the
Grecians had made, as also by the colo-
nies which thither they had sent. For
the same causes also it was well under-
stood in many places of Europe, yea, and
of Africk too. Therefore the word of
God being set forth in Greek, becometh
hereby like a candle set upon a candle-
stick, which giveth light to all that are in
the house; or like a proclamation sound-
ed forth in the market-place, which most
men presently take knowledge of; and
therefore that language was fittest to con-
tain the Scriptures, both for the first
preachers of the Gospel to appeal unto
for witness, and for the learners also of
those times to make search and trial by.
It is certain, that that translation was not
so sound and so perfect, but that it need-
ed in many places correction; and who
had been so sufficient for this work as
the Apostles or apostolick men? Yet it
seemed good to the Holy Ghost and to
them to take that which they found, (the
same being for the greatest part true and
sufficient) rather than by making a new,
in that new world and green age of the
Church, to expose themselves to many
exceptions and cavillations, as though
they made a translation to serve their
own turn, and therefore bearing witness
to themselves, their witness not to be re-
garded. This may be supposed to be
some cause, why the translation of the
Sex'eiity was allowed to pass for current.
Notwithstanding, though it was com-
mended generally, yet it did not fully
content the learned, no not of the /e7i's.
For not long after Christ, Aquila fell in
hand with a new translation, and after
him Theodotion, and after him Symina-
chus: yea, there was a fifth and a sixth
edition, the authors whereof were not
known. These with the Seventy made up
the Hexapla, and were worthily and to
great purpose compiled together by Ori-
gen. Howbeit the edition of the Seventy
went away with the credit, and therefore
Epi/.iut„.De '^°'- ^'''^y ^^^ placed in the midst by Ori-
tiifiisuris et gen, (for the worth and excellency thereof
fca/.'i7J-" above the rest, as Epiphanius gathereth)
but also was used by the Greek Fathers
for the ground and foundation of their
commentaries. Yea, Epiphanius above-
named doth attribute so much unto it,
that he holdeth the authors thereof not
only for interpreters, but also for pro-
phets in .some respect : and Justinian the
Emperor, enjoining the_/t7i'j- his subjects
to use specially the Translation of the
Sei'enty, rendereth this reason thereof.
Because they were, as it were, enlighten-
ed with prophetical grace. Yet for all
that, as the Egyptians are said of the Pro-
phet to be men and not God, and their
horses flesh and not spirit : so it is evident,
(and Saint Hierome aflirmeth as much)
that the St-venty were interpreters, they
were not prophets. They did many
things well, as learned men; but yet as
men they stumbled and fell, one while
through oversight, another while through
ignorance; yea, sometimes they may be
noted to add to the original, and some-
times to take from it: which made the
Apostles to leave them many times, wlien
they left the Hebrew, and to deliver the
sense thereof according to the truth of
the word, as the Spirit gave them utter-
ance. This may suffice touching the
Greek translations of the Old Testament.
There were also within a few hundred
years after Christ translations many into
the Latin tongue: for this tongue also
was very fit to convey tlie law and the
Gospel by, because in those times \ery
many countries of the West, yea of the
South, East, and North, spake or under-
stood Latin, being made iirovinces to the
Romans. But now the Latin translations
were too many to be all good, for they
were infinite ; {Lati/ti interpretes nullo
modo nuinerari possimt, saith S. Augus-
tine.') Again, they were not out of the
Hebreiu fountain, (we apeak of the L^atin
translations of the Old Testament) but
out of the Greek stream ; therefore the
Greek being not altogether clear, the
Latin derived from it must needs be
muddy. This moved S. ILierome, a most
learned Father, and the best linguist
without controversy of his age, or of any
that went before him, to undertake the
translating of the Old Testament out
of the very fountains themselves; which
he performed with that evidence of great
learning, judgment, industry, and faith-
fulness, that he hath for ever bound the
Church unto him in a debt of special re-
membrance and thankfulness.

Now though the Church were thus
furnished with Grtck and Latiti transla-
tions, even before the faith of Christ was
generally embraced in the Empire: (for
the learned know that even in S. Hie-
rome's time the Consul of Rome and his
wife were both Ethnicks, and about the
same time the greatest part of the Senate
also) yet for all that the godly learned
were not content to have the Scriptures
in the language which themselves under-
stood, Greek and Latin, (as the good
lepers were not content to fare well them-
selves, but acquainted their neighbours
with the store that God had sent, that
they also might provide for themselves)
but also for the behoof and edifying of
the unlearned which hungered and thirst-
ed after righteousness, and had souls to
be saved as well as they, they provided
translations into the vulgar for their
countrj'men, insomuch that most nations
under heaven did shortly after their con-
version hear Christ speaking unto them
in their mother tongue, not by the voice
of their minister only, but also by the
written word translated. If any doubt
hereof, he may be satisfied by e.xamples
enough, if enough will serve the turn.
First, S. Hicroine saith, Multarum gen-
tium Unguis Scriptura ante translata docet
falsa esse qua addita sunt, &c. i.e. The
Stripture being translated before in the lan-
guage of many /lations doth sheic that those
things that were added (by Lucian or Hesy-
chius) are false. So S. Hicrome in that
place. The same Hierome elsewhere af-
firmeth that he, the time was, had set
forth the translation of the Snenty, sum
lingua, honiinibus; i.e. for his countrymen
of Dalmatia. AVhich words not only
Erasmus doth understand to purport, that
S. Hierome translated the Scripture into
the Dalmatian tongue; but also Sixtus
Senensis, and Alphonsus a Castro, (that
we speak of no more) men not to be ex-
cepted against by them of Rome, do in-
genuously confess as much. So S. Chry-
sostomc, that lived in S. Hierome's time,
giveth evidence with him : The doctrine of
S. John (saith he) did not in such sort
(as the Philosophers did) vanish a7vay:
but the Syrians, Egyptians, Indians, Per-
sians, Ethiopians, and infinite other na-
tions, being barbarous people, translated it
into their {mother) tongue, and have learned
to be {true) Philosophers, he meaneth
Christians. To this may be added Theo-
doret, as next unto him both for antiquity,
and for learning. His words be these.
Every country that is under the sun is full
of these ivords, (of the Apostles and Pro-
phets) and the Ilcbrcio tongue (he mean-
eth the Scrijnures in the Hebrew tongue)
is turned not only into the language of the
Grecians, but also of the Romans, and
Egyptians, and Persians, and Indians, and
A?-menians, and Scythians, and Sauroma-
tians, and, briefly, into all the languages
that any nation useth. So he. In like
manner Ulpilas is reported by Paulus
Diaconus and Isidore, and before them
by Sozomen, to have translated the Scrip-
tures mto the Gothick tongue : John
Bishop of Sevil by Vasseus, to have
turned them into Arabick about the Year
of our Lord 717: Beda by Cistertiensis,
to have turned a great part of them into
Saxon: Efnard by Tnthemius, to have
abridged the French Psalter (as Beda had
done the Hcbrnii) about the year 800 :
King Alured by the said Cistertiensis, to
have turned the Psalter into Saxon: Me-
thodius by Aventinus (printed at Ingol-
stad) to have turned the Scriptures into
Sclavonian " .- Valdo Bishop of Prising by
Beatus Rhenanus, to have caused about
that time the Gospels to be translated
into Dutch rhythme, yet extant in the li-
brary of Corbinian* : Valdus by divers, to
ha,ve turned them himself, or to have
gotten them turned, into French about
the year 11 60: Charles the fifth of that
name, surnamed The 'wise, to have caused
them to be turned into French, about 200
years after Valdus his time; of which
translation there be many copies yet ex-
tant, as witriesseth Beroaldus. Much
about that time, even in our King Richard
the second's days, John Trevisa translated
them into English, and many English
Bibles in written hand are yet to be seen
with divers ; translated, as it is very pro-
bable, in that age. So the Syrian trans-
lation of the New Testament is in most
learned men's libraries, of Widminstadius
his setting forth ; and the Psalter in Ara-
bick is with many, of Augustinus N'ebien-
sis' setting forth. So Postel affirmeth, that
in his travel he saw the Gospels in the
Ethiopian tongue: And Ambrose Thesius
allegeth the Psalter of the Indians, which
he testifieth to have been set forth by
Potkcn in Syrian characters. So that to
have the Scriptures in the mother tongue
is not a quaint conceit lately taken uj),
either by the Lord Cronnccll in England,
or by the Lord Radtril in Polonie, or by
p. Diacoil.

The speeches
and reasons,
both of our
brethren,
and of our
adversaries,
against this
work.
the Lord Ungnadiiis in the Emperor's
dominion, but hath been thought upon,
and put in practice of old, even from the
first times of the conversion of any na-
tion ; no doubt, because it was esteemed
most profitable to cause faith to grow in
men's hearts the sooner, and to make
them to be able to say with the words of
the Psalm, As we have heard, so 7ue have
seen.
Now the Church of Rome would seem
at the length to bear a motherly affection
towards her children, and to allow them
the Scriptures in their mother tongue :
but indeed it is a gift, not deserving to
be called a gift*, an unprofitable gift: they
must first get a licence in writing before
they may use them; and to get that, they
must approve themselves to their Con-
fessor, that is, to be such as are, if not
frozen in the dregs, yet soured with the
leaven of their superstition. Howbeit, it
seemed too much to Clement the eighth
that there should be any licence granted
to have them in the vulgar tongue, and
therefore he overruleth and frustrateth
the grant of Pius the fourth. So much
are they afraid of the light of the Scrip-
ture, {Liicifugte Scripiuranim, as Tertiil-
lian speaketh) that they will not trust the
people with it, no not as it is set forth by
their own sworn men, no not with the li-
cence of their own Bishops and Inquisi-
tors. Yea, so unwilling they are to com-
municate the Scriptures to the jieople's
understanding in any sort, that they are
not ashamed to confess that we forced
them to translate it into English against
their wills. This seemeth to argue a bad
cause, or a bad conscience, or both.
Sure we are, that it is not he that hath
good gold, that is afraid to bring it to the
touchstone, but he that hath the counter-
feit; neither is it the true man that shun-
neth the light, but the malefactor, lest
his deeds should be reproved; neither is
it the plain-dealing merchant that is un-
willing to have the weights, or the mete-
yard, brought in place, but he that useth
deceit. But we will let them alone for
this fault, and return to translation.
Many men's mouths have been open
a good while (and yet are not stopped)
with speeches about the translation so
long in hand, or rather perusals of trans-
lations made before: and ask what may
be the reason, what the necessity, of the
employment. Hath the Church been de-
ceived, say they, all this while? Hath
her sweet bread been mingled with lea-
ven, her silver with dross, her wine with
water, her milk with lime? {lacte gypsum s. iren. la.
male misectiir, saith S. Ircney.) We"^ hoped ^^^-^xvi?
that we had been in the right way, that ^"- Mignej.
we had had the oracles of God delivered
unto us, and that though all the world
had cause to be offended, and to com-
plain, yet that we had none. Hath the
nurse holden out the breast, and nothing
but wind in it? Hath the bread been
delivered by the Fathers of the Church,
and the same proved to be lapidosus, as
Seneca speaketh? What is it to handlq. '
the word of God deceitfully, if this, be
not? Thus certain brethren. Also the
adversaries oijudah and Hienisalem, like
Sanballat in Nehemjah, mock, as we heai;,
both at the work and workmen, saying,
What do these 7i'eak Jeii.'s, &c. 'loill they Neh. 4. a, 3.
tnake the stones whole again out of the
heaps of dust 'which are burnt ? Although
they build, yet if a fox go up, he shall a-en
break down their stony wall. Was their
translation good before? Why do they
now mend it? Was it not good? Why
then was it obtruded to the people? Yea,
why did the Catholicks (meaning Popish
J?ojnanists) always go in jeoijardy for re- «
fusing to go to hear it? Nay, if it must
be translated into English, Catholicks. .ire
fittest to do it. They have learning, and
they know when a thing is well, they can

That is, Do we condemn the ancient? In ^^'
no case: but after the endeavours of them,
that ioerc before us, we take the best pains
we can in the house of God. As if he said,

learned that lived laefore my time, I have
thought it my duty to assay whether my
talent in the knowledge of the tongues
may be profitable in any measure to
God's Church, lest I should seem to have
laboured in them in vain, and lest I
should be thought to glory in men (al-
though ancient) above that which was in
them. Thus S. Hierome may be thought
to speak.

or correction of a translation, in his time)
or Queen Elizabeth's of ever renowned
memory, that we acknowledge them to
have been raised up of God for the
building and furnishing of his Church,
and that they deserve to be had of us
and of posterity in everlasting remem-
brance. The judgment of Aristotle is
worthy and well known : If Timotheiis
hail not been, loe hail not had much stceet
musick : But if Phrynis {Timotheus his
master) hail not been, 7C'e had not had
Ti mot hens. Therefore blessed be they,
and most honoured be their name, that
break the ice, and give the onset upon
that which helpeth forward to the saving
of souls. Now what can be more avail-
able thereto, than to deliver God's book
unto God's people in a tongue which
they understand ? Since of an hidden
treasure, and of a fountain that is sealed,
there is no profit, as Ptolemy P/iiladelpli
wrote to the Rabbins or masters of the
Jews, as witnesseth Epiphaniiis : and as
S. Augustine saith, A man had rather be
with his dog than 7uith a stranger (whose
tongue is strange unto him.) Yet for all
that, as nothing is begun and perfected
at the same time, and the latter thoughts
are thought to be the wiser : so, if we
building upon their foundation that went
before us, and being holpen by their
labours, do endeavour to make that bet-
ter which they left so good ; no man, we
are sure, hath cause to mislike us ; they,
we persuade ourselves, if they were alive,
would thank us. The vintage of Abiezcr,
that strake the stroke : yet the gleaning
of grapes of Ephraim was not to be
despised. Ses Judges viii. verse 2. Joash
the king of Israel did not satisfy himself
till he had smitten the ground three times ;
and yet he offended the Prophet for
giving over then. Aquila, of whom we
spake before, tran.slated the Bible as
carefully and as skilfully as he could ;
and yet he thought good to go over it
again, and then it got the credit with
\!ne. Jczvs to be called Kara aKpi/iiLav, that
is, accurately done, as St. Hierome wit-
nesseth. How many books of profane
learning have been gone over again and
again, by the same translators, by others?
Of one and the same book of Aristotlis
Ethics there are e.xtant not so few as six
or seven several translations. Now if
this cost may be bestowed upon the
gourd, wliich affordeth us a little shade,
and which to-day flourisheth, but to-mor-
row is cut down ; what may we bestow,
nay, what ought we not to bestow, upon
the vine, the fruit whereof maketh glad
the conscience of man, and the stem
whereof abideth for ever? And this is
the word of God, which we translate.

that seeketh the increase of the spiritual ^''J?'"-
wealth of Israel ; (let Sanballats and To- 505].'
bialis do so, which therefore do bear
their just reproof) but let us rather bless
God from the ground of our heart for
working this religious care in him to
have the translations of the Bible ma-
turely consideretl of and examined. For
by this means it cometh to pass, that
whatsoever is sound already, (and all is
sound for substance in one or other of
our editions, and the worst of ours far
better than their authentick Vulgar) the
same will shine as gold more brightly,
being rubbed and polished ; also, if any
thing be halting, or superfluous, or not
so agreeable to the original, the same
may be corrected, and the truth set in
place. And what can the King com-
mand to be done, that will bring him
more true honour than this ? And where-
in could they that have been set a work
approve their duty to the King, yea,
their obedience to God, and love to his
Saints, more, than by yielding their ser-
vice, and all that is within them, for the
furnishing of the work ? But besides all
this, they were the principal motives of
it, and therefore ought least to quarrel
it. For the very historical truth is, that
upon the importunate petitions of the
Puritans at his Majesty's coming to this
crown, the conference at Hampton Court
having been appointed for hearing their
complaints, when by force of reason they
were put from all other grounds, they
had recourse at the last to this shift,
that they could not with good conscience
subscribe to the Communion book, since
it maintained the Bible as it was there
translated, which was, as they said, a
most corrupted translation. And although
this was judged to be but a very poor
and empty shift, yet even hereupon did
his Majesty begin to bethink himself of

the good that might ensue by a new
translation, and presently after gave order
for this translation which is now pre-
sented unto thee. Thus much to satisfy
our scrupulous brethren.
Now to the latter we answer, that
we do not den)', nay, we aflirm and
avow, that the very meanest translation
of the Bible in English set forth by men
of our profession (for we have seen none
of theirs of the whole Bible as yet*) con-
taineth the word of God, nay, is the word
of God : as the King's speech which he
uttered in Parliament, being translated
into French, Dutch, Italian, and Latin,
is 'Still the King's speech, though it be
not interpreted by every translator with
the like grace, nor peradventure so fitly
for phrase, nor so expressly for sense,
every where. For it is confessed, that
things are to take their denomination of
the greater part ; and a natural man
could say, Vertim ubi multa nitent in
carmine, non ego panels offender macnlis,
&c. A man may be counted a virtuous
man, though he have made many slips
in his life, (else there were none virtuous,
for in many things lue offend all,) also
a comely man and lo-vely, though he
have some warts upon his hand, yea,
not only freckles upon his face, but also
scars. No cause therefore why the word
translated should be denied to be the
word, or forbidden to be current, not-
withstanding that some imperfections and
blemishes may be noted in the setting
forth of it. For whatever was perfect
under the sun, where Apostles or apo-
stolick men, that is, men endued with
an extraordinary measure of God's Spirit,
and privileged with the privilege of iii-
feUibility, had not their hand ? The Ro-
manists therefore in refusing to hear, and
daring to burn the word translated, did
no less than despite the Spirit of grace,
from whom originally it proceeded, and
whose sense and meaning, as well as
man's weakness would enable, it did ex-
press. Judge by an example or two.
Plutarch wri'teth, that after that Rome
had been burnt by the Gai/ls, they fell
soon to build it again : but doing it in
haste, they did not cast the streets, nor
proportion the houses, in such comely
fashion, as had been most sightly and
convenient. Was Catiline therefore an
honest man, or a good patriot, that
sought to bring it to a combustion? or
Nero a good Prince, that did indeed set
it on fire ? So by the story of £sra E.-ra 3, 12.
and the prophecy of Haggai it may be [Hagg. 2. 3I.
gathered, that the temple built by Zerub-
babel after the return from Babylon was
by no means to be compared to the
former built by Solomon: (for they tliat
remembered the former wept when they
considered the latter) notwithstanding
might tliis latter either have been ab-
horred and forsaken by the Jc7t's, or
profaned by the Greeks? The like we
are to think of translations. The trans-
lation of the Seventy dissenteth from the
Original in many places, neither doth it
come near it for perspicuity, gravity,
majesty ; yet which of the Apostles did
condemn it? Condemn it? Nay, they
used it, (as it is apparent, and as Saint
Hierome and most learned men do con-
fess) which they would not have done,
nor by their example of using of it so
grace an* commend it to the Church,
if it had been unworthy the appellation
and name of the word of God. And
whereas they urge for their second de-
fence of their vilifying and abusing of the
English Bibles, or some pieces thereof,
which they meet with, for that Hereticks
forsooth were the authors of the trans-
lations : (Hereticks they call us by tiie
same right that they call themselves
Catholicks, both being wrong) we mar-
vel what divinity taught them so. We
are sure Tcrtullian was of ajiother mind : Tertui. dc

was of another mind : for he, lighting
upon certain rules made by Tyclwnius a
Donatist for the better understanding of
the ^Vord, was not ashamed to make use
of them, yea, to insert them into his own
book, with giving commendation to them

Jc7i.<, of Symmachus, and Theodotion, both
Ebionitcs, that is, most vile hereticks, that
they joined them together with the He-
brew original, and the translation of the
Seventy, (as hath been before signified
out of Epiphaniiis) and set them forth
openly to be considered of and perused
by all. But we weary the unlearned, who
need not know so much ; and trouble the
learned, who know it already.
Yet before we end, we must answer
a third cavil and objection of theirs
against us, for altering and amending
our Translations so oft; wherein truly they
deal hardly and strangely with us. For
to whom ever was it imputed for a fault
(by such as were wise) to go over that
which he had done, and to amend it
where he saw cause ? Saint Augii.^1ine
was not afraid to exhort S. Hierojne to a
Paliiiodia or recantation. The same S.
Augustine was not ashamed to retractate,
we might say, revoke, many things that
had passed him, and doth even glory
that he seeth his infirmities, if we will
be sons of the truth, we must consider
what it speaketh, and trample upon our
own credit, yea, and upon other men's
too, if either be any way a hinderance
to it. This to the cause. Then to the
persons ^\■e say, that of all men they
ought to lie most silent in this case.
For what varieties have they, and what
alterations have they made, not only of
their service books, portesses, and bre-
viaries, but also of their Latin transla-
tion ? The service book supposed to be
made by S. Amkrose {Officium Ambrosi-
aiiuni) was a great while in special use
and request : but Pope Adrian, calling
a council with the aid of Charles the
Emperor, abolished it, yea, burnt it, and
commanded the service book of Saint
Gregoiy universally to be used. Well, Offi-
einm Grcgoriannm gets by this means to
be in credit ; but doth it continue with-
out change or altering? No, the very
Roman service was of two fashions ; the
new fashion, and the old, the one used
in one Church, the other in another;
as is to be seen in Paniclius a Romanist
his preface before Micrologus. The same
Famelius reiiorteth out of Radtilphus de
Rivo, that about the )ear of our Lord
1277 Pope Nicolas the third removed out
of the churches of Rome the more ancient
books (of service) and brought into use
the missals of the Friers Minorites, and
commanded them to be observed there ;
insomuch that about an hundred years
after, when the above named Radiilphiis
happened to be at Rome, he found all
the books to be new, of the new stamp.
Neither was there this chopping and
changing in the more ancient times only,
but also of late. Pins Qiiintns himself
confesseth, that every bishoprick almost
had a peculiar kind of service, most un-
like to that which others had ; which
moved him to abolish all other breviaries,
though never so ancient, and privileged
and published by Bishops in their Dio-
ceses, and to establish and ratify that
only which was of his own setting forth
in the year 1568. Now when the Father
of their Church, who gladly would heal
the sore of the daughter of his people
softly and slightly, and make the best
of it, findeth so great fault with them for
their odds and jarring ; we hope the chil-
dren have no great cause to vaunt of
their uniformity. But the difference that
appeareth between our translations, and
our often correcting of them, is the thing
that we are specially charged with ; let
us see therefore whether they themselves
be without fault this way, (if it be to be
counted a fault to correct) and whether
they be fit men to throw stones at us :
O tandem major parcas insane mitwri : rffmt.
they that are less sound themselves t= ■'>"/; '
ought not to object mfirmities to others.
If we should tell them that Vai/a, Stapu-
lensis, Erasmus, and Vives, found fault
with their vulgar translation, and conse-
quently wished the same to be mended,
or a new one to be made; they would
answer peradventure, that w-e produced
their enemies for witnesses against them ;
albeit they w^ere in no other sort ene-
mies, than as S. Paul was to the Gala- G.ii. 4. 1
tians, for telling them the truth : and it
were to be wished, that they had dared
to tell it them plainlier and oftener. But
what will they say to this. That Pope
Leo the tenth allowed Erasmus's trans-
lation of the New Testament, so much
different from the Vulgar, by his apo-
stolick letter and bull? That the same
Leo exhorted Pagnine to translate the Stxtusi
whole Bible, and bare whatsoever charges """■
was necessary for the work ? Surely, as
the Apostle reasoneth to the Hebrews,
that if the former Law and Testament had Hcb. 7.
been snffieient, there had been no need of ^ ^' '''
the hitter: so we may say, that if the old
Vulgar had been at all points allowable,
to small purpose had labour and charges

been undergone about framing of a new.
If they say, it was one Pope's private
opinion, and that he consulted only him-
self; then we are able to go further with
them, and to aver, that more of their
chief men of all sorts, even their own
Tient champions, Paiva and Vega, and
their own Inquisitors, Huronrinus ab Ok-
astro, and their own Bishop IsiJorus Cla-
rius, and their own Cardinal Thomas a
Vio Cajetan, do either make new transla-
tions themselves, or follow new ones of
other men's making, or note the Vulgar
interpreter for halting, none of them fear
to dissent from him, nor yet to except
against him. And call they this an uni-
form tenor of text and judgment about
the text, so many of their worthies dis-
claiming the now received conceit? Nay,
we will vet come nearer the quick. Doth
not t\it\r Paris edition differ from XhtLo-
vaiiie, and Heiitcuius his from them both,
and yet all of them allowed by authority?
Nay, doth not Sixttis Quintus confess,
that certain Catholicks (he meaneth cer-
tain of his own side) were in such a
humour of translating the Scriptures into
Latin, that Satan taking occasion by
them, though they thought of no such
matter, did strive what he could, out of
so uncertain and manifold a variety of
translations, so to mingle ail things, that
nothing might seem to be left certain
and firm in them ? &'C. Nay further, did
not the same Sixtus ordain by an in\io-
lable decree, and that with the counsel
and consent of his Cardinals, that the
I^tin edition of the Old and New Testa-
ment, which the Council of Trent would
have to be authentick, is the same with-
out controversy which he then set forth,
being diligently corrected and printed in
the printinghouse of Vatican 1 Thus Six-
tus in his Preface before his Bible. And
yet Clement the eighth, his immediate
successor, published another edition of
the Bible, containing in it infinite differ-
ences from that of Sixtus, and many of
them weighty and material ; and yet this
must be authentick by all means. What
is to have the faith of our glorious Lord
Jesus Christ with yea and nay, if this
be not? Again, what is sweet harmony
and consent, if this be? Therefore, as
Demaratus of Corinth advised a great
King, before he talked of the dissensions
among the Grecians, to compose his do-
mestick broils ; (for at that time his
Queen and his son and heir were at
deadly feud with him) so all the while
that our adversaries do make so many and
so various editions themselves, and do jar
so much about the worth and authority
of them, they can with no show of eijuity
challenge us for changing and correcting.
But it is high time to leave them,
and to shew in brief what we proposed
to ourselves, and what course we held,
in this our perusal and survey of the
Bible. Truly, good Christian Reader,
we never thought from the beginning
that we should need to make a new
translation, nor yet to make of a bad
one a good one ; (for then the imputa-
tion of Sixtus had been true in some
sort, that our people had been fed with
gall of dragons instead of wine, with
whey instead of milk ;) but to make a
good one better, or out of many good
ones one principal good one, not justly
to be excepted against ; that hath been
our endeavour, that our mark. To that
purpose there were many chosen, that
were greater in other men's eyes than
in their own, and that sought the truth
rather than their own praise. Again, they
came, or were tfcltought to come, to the
work, not cxercendi causa, (as one saith)
but exercitati, that is, learned, not to
learn : For the chief overseer and c'pyo-
(Sia^KTiys under his Majesty, to whom not
only we, but also our whole Church was
much bound"', knew by his wisdom, which
thing also A'azianzen taught so long ago,
that it is a preposterous order to teach
first, and to learn after, yea that to iv
Tridia Kcpafiiav /xav^di'tir, to learn and prac-
tise together, is neither commendable for
the workman, nor safe for the work.
Therefore such were thought upon, as
could say modestly with Saint Hierornc, Et
Hebraum sermoncm ex parte didicimus, et
in Latino pene ab ipsis incunabulis, &c.
detriti sumus ; Both wc have learned the
Hebreju tongue in part, and in the /-.atin
7S.<e have been exercised almost from our
very cradle. S. Hicrome maketh no men-
tion of the Greek tongue, wherein yet
he did excel ; because he translated not
the Old Testament out of Greek, but out
of Hebre7v. And in what sort did these
assemble? In the trust of their own
knowledge, or of their sharpness of wit,
.or deepness of judgment, as it were in an
arm of flesh? At no hand. They trust-
ed in him that hath the key of David,
opening, and no man shutting ; they

Lord, to the effect that St. Augustine
did ; O let thy Scriptures be my pure
delight; let me not be deceived in them,
neither let me deceive by them. In this
confidence, and with this devotion, did
they assemble together; not too many,
lest one should trouble another; and yet
many, lest many things haply might es-
cape them. If you ask wliat they had
before them, truly it was the Hebrew text
of the Old Testament, the Greek of the
New. These are the two golden pipes,
or ratJier conduits, wherethrough the
olive branches empty themselves into the
gold. Saint Augustine calleth them prece-
dent, or original, tongues; SmwI Jiierome,
fountains. The same Saint ///'twwt' aflirm-
eth, and Graiian hath not spared to jjut
it into his decree, That as the credit of
the old books (he meaneth of the Old Tes-
tament) is to be tried by the Hebrew vo-
lumes; so of the Neiu'by the Greek tongue,
he meaneth by the original Greek. If
truth be to be tried by these tongues,
then whence should a translation be
made, but out of them? These tongues
therefore (the Scriptures, we say, in those
tongues) we set before us to translate,
being the tongues wherein God was pleased
to speak to his Church by his Prophets
and Apostles. Neither did we run over
the work with that posting haste that the
Scptuagint did, if that be true which is
reported of them, that they finished it in
seventy two days; neither were we barred
or hindered from going over it again,
having once done it, like S. Hierome, if
that be true which himself reporteth, that
he could no sooner write any thing, but
presently it was caught from him, and
published, and he could not have leave
to mend it : neither, to be short, were we
the first that fell in hand with translating
the Scripture into English, and conse-
quently destitute of former helps, as it is
written of Origen, that he was the first in
a manner, that put his hand to write
commentaries upon the Scriptures, and
therefore no marvel if he overshot him-
self many times. None of these things:
the work Iiath not been huddled up in
seventy two days, but hath cost the work-
men, as light as it seemeth, the pains of
twice seven times seventy two days, and
more. Matters of such weight and con-
sequence are to be speeded with matu-
rity: for in a business of moment a man
feareth not the blame of convenient
slackness. Neither did we think much

which the Hebrews themselves are so di-
vided among themselves for judgment,
that they may seem to have defined this
or that, rather because they would say
something, than because they were sure
of that which they said, as S. Hierome
somewhere saith of the Septuagmt. Now
in such a case doth not a margin do well
to admonish the Reader to seek further,
and not to conclude or dogmatize upon
this or that peremptorily? For as it is a
fault of incredulity, to doubt of those
things that are evident ; so to determine
of such things as the Spirit of God hath
left (even in the judgment of the ju-
di<iious) questionable, can be no less
than presumption. Therefore as S. Au-
gustine saith, that variety of translations
is profitable for the finding out of the
sense of the Scriptures: so diversity of
signification and sense in the margin,
where the text is not so clear, must needs
do good ; yea, is necessary, as we are
persuaded. We know that Sixtiis Quin-
tiis expressly forbiddeth that any variety
of readings of their Vulgar edition should
be put in the margin; (which though it
be not altogether the same thing to that
we have in hand, yet it looketh that
way;) but we think he hath not all of his
own side his favourers for this conceit.
They that are wise had rather have their
judgments at liberty in differences of
readings, than to be captivated to one,
when it may be the other. If they were^
sure that their high priest had all laws
shut up in his breast, as Paul the second
bragged, and that he were as free from
error by special privilege, as the dictators
of Rome were made by law inviolable, it
were another matter; then his word were
an oracle, his opinion a decision. But
the eyes of the world are now open, God
be thanked, and have been a great while;
they find that he is subject to the same
affections and infirmities that others be,
that his skin is penetrable, and therefore
so much as he proveth, not as much as
he claimeth, they grant and embrace.
Another thing we think good to ad-
monish thee of, gentle Reader, that we
have not tied ourselves to an uniformity
of phrasing, or to an identity of words, as
some peradventure would wish that we
had done, because they observe, that
some learned men somewhere have been
as exact as they could that way. Truly,
that we might not vary from the sense of
that which we had translated before, if
the word signified the same thing in both
places, (for there be some words that be
not of the same sense every where) we
were especially careful, and made a con-
science, according to our duty. But that
we should express the same notion in the
same particular word ; as for example, if
we translate the Hebrew or Greek word
once hy purpose, never to call it intent; if
one where Journeying, never travelling; if
one where think, never suppose; if one
where pain, never ae/ie; if one -where joy,
never gladness, &c. thus to mince the
matter, we thought to savour more of
curiosity than wisdom, and that rather it
would breed scorn in the atheist, than
bring profit to the godly reader. For is
the kingdom of God become words or
syllables? Why should we be in bondage
to them, if we may be free? use one pre-
cisely, when we may use another no less
fit as commodiously? A godly Father in
the primitive time shewed himself greatly
moved, that one of newfangleness called
KpajSParov, aKifiirovs, tliough the differ-
ence be little or none; and another re-
porteth, that he was much abused for
turning cueurbita (to which reading the
people had been used) into hedera. Now
if this happen in better times, and u]3on
so small occasions, we might justly fear
hard censure, if generflly we should make
verbal and unrtecessary changings. We
might also be charged (by scoffers) with
_son'k%''imequal dealing towards a great
number of good English words. For as
it is written of a certain great Philoso-
pher, that he should say, that those logs
were happy that were made images to be
worshipped ; for their fellows, as good as
they, lay for blocks behind the fire : so if
we should say, as it were, unto certain
words. Stand up higher, have a place in
the Bible always; and to others of like
quality. Get ye hence, be banished for
ever; we might be taxed peradventure
with S. James his words, namely, To be
partial in ourselves, and judges of ei'il
thoughts. Add hereunto, that niceness in
words was always counted the next step
to trifling; and so was to be curious
about names too: also that we cannot
follow a better ])attern for elocution than
God himself; therefore he using divers
words in his holy writ, and indifferently
for one thing in nature; we, if we will
not be superstitious, may use the same
liberty in our English versions out of
Hebrezo and Greek, for that copy or store

that he liath given us. Lastly, we have
on the one side avoided the scrupulosity
of the Puritans, who leave the old Eccle-
siastical words, and betake them to other,
as when they put 7vashi):g for Baptism,
and CongrcgationxVi'A^'ixA- of Church: as also
on the other side we have shunned the
obscurity of the Papists, in their Azimes,
Ttinikc, Rational, Hohcausts, Prcepuce,
Faschc, and a number of such like, where-
of their late translation is full*, and that
of purpose to darken the sense, that since
they must needs translate the Bible, yet by
the language thereof it may be kept from
being understood. But we desire that
the Scripture may speak like itself, as in
the language of Canaan, that it may be
understood even of the very vulgar.
Many other things we might give thee
warning of, gentle Reader, if we had not
exceeded the measure of a preface al-
ready. It remaineth that we commend
thee to God, and to the Spirit of his
grace, which is able to build further than
we can ask or think. He removeth the
scales from our eyes, the vail from our
hearts, opening our wits that we may un-
derstand his word, enlarging our hearts,
yea, correcting our affections, that we
may love it above gold and silver, yea,
that we may love it to the end. Ye are
brought unto fountains of living water
which ye digged not; do not cast earth
into them, with the Philistines, neither
prefer broken pits before them, with the
wicked Jews. Others have laboured, and
you may enter into their labours. O re-
ceive not so great things in vain: O de-
spise not so great salvation. Be not like
swine to tread under foot so precious
things, neither yet like dogs to tear and
abuse holy things. Say not to our Sa-
viour with the Gcrgesites, Depart out of
our coasts; neither yet with Esau sell
your birthright for a mess of pottage. If
light be come into the world, love not
darkness more than light: if food, if cloth-
ing, be offered, go not naked, starve not
yourselves. Remember the advice of
Naziansenc, It is a grievous thijtg (or dan-
gerous) to neglect a great fair, and to seek
to make markets aJteruHirds: also the en-
couragement of S. Chrysostome, It is al-
together impossible, that he that is sober
(and watchful) should at any time be neg-
lected: lastly, the admonition and menac-
ing of S. Augustine, They that despise
God's will inviting them shall feel God's
70 ill taking vengeance of them. It is a
fearful thing to fall into the hands of the
living God; but a blessed thing it is, and
will bring us to everlasting blessedness in
the end, when God speaketh unto us, to
hearken ; when he setteth his word before
us, to read it; when he stretcheth out his
hand and calleth, to answer. Here am I,
here we are to do thy will, O God. The
Lord work a care and conscience in us
to know him and serve him, that we may
be acknowledged of him at the appearing
of our Lord JESUS CHRIST, to whom
with the Holy Ghost be all praise and
thanksgiving. Amen.

TO THE MOST HIGH AND MIGHTY PRINCE
JAMES,
BV THE GRACE OF GOD
KIxNG OF GREAT BRITAIN, FRANCE, AND IRELAND,
DEFENDER OF THE FAITH, &c.
The Translators of the Bible wish Grace, Mercy, and Peace, through
JESUS CHRIST our Lord.
(~^ REAT and manifold were the blessings, most dread Sovereign, which Almighty God, the Father
^-^ of all mercies, bestowed upon us the people of England, when first he sent Your Majesty's
Royal Person to rule and reign over us. For whereas it was the e.xpectation of many, who wished
not well unto our Sion, that upon the setting of that bright Occidental Star, Queen Elizabeth of most
happy memory, some thick and palpable clouds of darkness would so have overshadowed this land,
that men should have been in doubt which way they were to walk ; and that it should hardly be known,
who was to direct the unsettled State ; the appearance of Your Majesty, as of the Si/n in his strength,
instantly dispelled those supposed and surmised mists, and gave unto all that were well affected
exceeding cause of comfort; especially when we beheld the Government established in Your Highness,
and Your hopeful Seed, by an undoubted Title, and this also accompanied with peace and tranquillity
at home and abroad.
But amongst all our joys, there was no one that more filled our hearts, than the blessed continuance
of the preaching of God's sacred Word amongst us; which is that inestimable treasure, which excelleth
all the riches of the earth ; because the fruit thereof extendeth itself, not only to the time spent in
this transitory world, but directeth and disposeth men unto that eternal happiness which is above in
heaven. •
Then, not to suffer this to fall to the ground, but rather to take it up, and to continue it in that
state, wherein the famous Predecessor of Your Highness did leave it : nay, to go forward with the
confidence and resolution of a man in maintaining the truth of Christ, and propagating it far and
near, is that which hath so bound and firmly knit the hearts of all Your Majesty's loyal and religious
people unto You, that Your very name is precious among them : their eye doth behold You with
comfort, and they bless You in their hearts, as that sanctified person, who, under God, is the immediate
author of their true happiness. And this their contentment doth not diminish or decay, but every day
increaseth and taketh strength, when they observe, that the zeal of Your Majesty towards the house
of God doth not slack or go backward, but is more and more kindled, manifesting itself abroad in
the furthest parts of Christendom, by writing in defence of the Truth, (which hath given such a blow
unto that man of sin, as will not be healed,) and every day at home, by religious and learned discourse,
by frequenting the house of God, by hearing the Word preached, by cherishing the teachers thereof, by
caring for the Church, as a most tender and loving nursing Father.
cxx THE EPISTLE DEDICATORY.
There are infinite arguments of this right Christian and rehgious affection in Your Majesty; but none
is more forcible to declare it to others than the vehement and perpetuated desire of the accomplishing
and publishing of this work, which now with all humility we present unto Your Majesty. I'or when
Your Highness had once out of deep judgment apprehended how convenient it was, that out of the
Original Sacred Tongues, together with comparing of the labours, both in our own, and other foreign
Languages, of many worthy men who went before us, there should be one more exact Translation of the
holy Scriptures into the English Tongue; Your Majesty did never desist to urge and to excite those to
whom it was commended, that the work might be hastened, and that the business might be expedited
in so decent a manner, as a matter of such importance might justly require.
And now at last, by the mercy of God, and the continuance of our labours, it being brought unto
such a conclusion, as that we have great hope that the Church of England shall reap good fruit thereby;
we hold it our duty to offer it to Your Majesty, not only as to our King and Sovereign, but as to the
principal mover and Author of the work : humbly craving of Your most Sacred Majesty, that since
things of this quality have ever been subject to the censures of illmeaning and discontented persons, it
may receive approbation and patronage from so learned and judicious a Prince as Your Highness is, whose
allowance and acceptance of our labours shall more honour and encourage us, than all the calumniations
and hard interpretations of other men shall dismay us. So that if, on the one side, we shall be traduced
by Popish persons at home or abroad, who therefore will malign us, because we are poor instruments to
make God's holy Truth to be yet more and more known unto the people, whom they desire still to
keep in ignorance and darkness; or if, on the other side, we shall be maligned by self-conceited
brethren, who run their own ways, and give liking unto nothing but what is framed by themselves, and
hammered on their anvil ; we may rest secure, supported within by the truth and innocenc)- of a good
conscience, having walked the ways of simplicity and integrity, as before the Lord; and sustained
without by the powerful protection of Your Majesty's grace and favour, which will ever give countenance
to honest and Christian endeavours against bitter censures and uncharitable imputations.
The Lord of heaven and earth bless Your Majesty with many and happy days, that, as liis heavenly
hand hath enriched Your Highness with many singular and extraordinary graces, so You may be the
wonder of the world in this later age for happiness and true felicity, to the honour of that great GOD,
and the good of his Church, through Jesus Christ our Lord and only Saviour.

IN the ^'beginning God created the hea-
ven and the earth. And the earth
was •'without form, and void; and dark-
ness 7i.'as upon the face of the deep. And
the Spirit of God moved upon the face
of the waters.
And God said, <=Let there be light:
and there was hght. And God saw the
hght, that it was good: and God di-
vided 'the Hght from the darkness. And
God called the light Day, and the dark-
ness he called Night. 'And the evening
and the morning were the first day.
And God said, ''Let there be a 'fir-
mament in the midst of the waters, and
let it divide the waters from the waters.
And God made the firmament, and di-
vided the waters which were under the
firmament from the waters which were
= above the firmament: and it was so.
And God called the finnament Heaven.
And the evening and the morning were
the second day.
And God said, ^Let the waters under
the heaven be gathered together unto
one place, and let the dry /aiiJ appear :
and it was so. And God called the dry i
land Earth ; and the gathering together
of the waters called he Seas : and God
saw that it was good. And God said, >
Let the earth bring forth 'grass, the herb
yielding seed, ami the fruit tree yielding
fruit after his kind, whose seed is in it-
self, upon the earth : and it was so. And ■
the earth brought forth grass, fl;/(/herb
yielding seed after his kind, and the tree
yielding fruit, whose seed 7i'as in itself,
after his kind : and God saw that it was
good. And the evening and the morn- 1
ing were the third day.
And God said, Let there be lights in ■
the firmament of the heaven to divide
'the day from the night; and let them be
for signs, and for seasons, and for days,
and years : and let them be for lights in
the firmament of the heaven to give light
upon the earth : and it was so. And
God smade two great lights; the greater
light 'to rule the day, and the lesser
light to rule the night : /te made the stars
also. And God set them in the firma-
ment of the heaven to give light upon
the earth, and to ''rule over die day and
over the night, and to divide the light
from the darkness : and God saw that it
was good. And the evening and the
morning were the fourth day.
And God said. Let the waters bring
forth abundantly the "moving 'creature
that hath life, and 'fowl that may fly
above the earth in the 'open firmament
of heaven. And God created great
whales, and every living creature that
moveth, which the waters brought forth
abundantly, after their kind, and every
winged fowl after his kind : and God
saw that // juas good. And God blessed
them, saying, 'Be fmitful, and multiply,
and fill the waters in the seas, and let
fowl multiply in the earth. And the even-
ing and the morning were the fifth day.
And God said. Let the earth bring
forth the living creature after his kind,
cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the
earth after his kind : and it was so. And
God made the beast of the earth after
his kind, and cattle after their kind, and
every thing that creepeth upon the earth
after his kind : and God saw that // tuas
good.
And God said, ■'Let us make man in
our image, 'after our likeness: "and let
them have dominion over the fish of the
sea, and over the fowl of the air, and
over the cattle, and over all the earth,
and over every creeping thing that creep-

man in his own image, in the image of
God created he him; "male and female
created he them. And CSod blessed them, 28
and God said unto them. °Be fniitful,
and multiply, and replenish the earth,
and subdue it : and have dominion over
the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of
the air, and over every living thing that
hnoveth upon the earth.
And God said, Behold, I have given 29
you every herb 'bearing seed, which is
upon the face of all the earth, and every
tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree
'yielding seed; to Pyou it shall be for
meat. And to every beast of the earth, 30
and to every fowl of the air, and to
every //;.'>/(,'■ that creepeth upon the earth,
wherein t/icre is 'life, / have given every

And iGod saw every thing that he had 31
made, and behold, // -Li<as very good.
And the evening and the morning were
the si.\th day.
Thus the heavens and the earth were
«Deut, 4. 19. finished, and *all the host of them. And 2
''on the seventh day God ended his work
which he had made; and he rested on
the seventh day from all his work which

that in it he had rested from all his work
which God 'created and made.
■^These are the generations of the hea- 4
vens and of the earth when they were
created, in the day that the Lord God
made the earth and the heavens, and 5
every ''plant of the field before it was in

not caused it to rain upon the earth,
and there ivas not a man to till the

the first is 'Pison: that is it which com-

12 there is gold ; and the gold of that land
is good: there is bdellium and the 'onyx

river is Gihon : the same is it that com-
14 passeth the whole land of ' Ethiopia. And
the name of the third river is Hiddekel:
that is it which goeth "toward the east of
Assyria. And the fourth river is Eu-
isphrates. And the Lord God took 'the
man, and put him into the garden of
16 Eden to dress it and to keep it. And
the Lord God commanded the , man,
saying. Of every tree of the garden 'thou
i7mayest freely eat: but of the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt
not eat of it: for in the day that thou
eatest thereof 'thou shalt surely die.
18 And the Lord God said, // is not
good that the man should be alone; ""I
will make him a help 'meet for him.
19 "And out of the ground the Lord God
formed every beast of the field, and
every fowl of the air; and "brought them
unto 'Adam to see what he would call
them: and whatsoever Adam called
every living creature, that was the name
20 thereof And Adam 'gave names to all
cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to
every beast of the field ; but for Adam
there was not found a help meet for
21 him. And the Lord God caused a p deep
sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept :
and he took one of his ribs, and closed
22 up the flesh instead thereof; and the rib,
which the Lord God had taken from
man, 'made he a woman, and brought
23 her unto the man. And Adam said. This
is now ibone of my bones, and flesh of
my flesh : she shall be called 'Woman,
because she was ■■ taken out of 'Man.
24^Therefore shall a man leave his fa-
therand his mother,and shall cleave
unto his wife: and they shall be one
25 flesh. And they were both naked, the
man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
Now the serpent was ^more subtil than
any beast of the field which the Lord
God had made. And he said unto the
woman, 'Yea, hath God said, Ye shall
2 not eat of every tree of the garden .'' And
the woman said unto the serpent. We
may eat of the fruit of the trees of the
3 garden: ''but of the fruit of the tree
which is in the midst of the garden, God
hath said. Ye shall not eat of it, neither
4 shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the

not surely die : for God doth know that
in tlie day ye eat thereof, tlien your eyes
shall be opened, and ye shall be as
gods, knowing good and evil. And when
the woman saw that the tree ivas good
for food, and that it wa^s * pleasant to
the eyes, and a tree to be desired to
make om wise, she took of the fruit
thereof, "^and did eat, and gave also unto
her husband with her; and he did eat.
And <* the eyes of them both were opened,
^and they knew that they were naked;
and they sewed fig leaves together, and
made themselves 'aprons. And they
heard the voice of the Lord God walk-
ing in the garden in the *cool of the
day: and Adam and his wife hid them-
selves from the presence of the Lord
God amongst the trees of the garden.
And the Lord God called unto Adam, .
and said unto him, ^\'here art thou ? And i.
he said, I heard thy voice in the garden,
and I was afraid, because I luas naked ;
and I hid myself And he said. Who i
told thee that thou 7i'ast naked .'' Hast
thou eaten of the tree, whereof I com-
manded thee that thou shouldest not
eat? And the man said, fThe woman i
whom thou gavest to be with me, she
gave me of the tree, and I did eat. And i
the Lord God said unto the woman.
What is this that thou hast done.'' And
the woman said, sThe serpent beguiled
me, and I did eat. And the Lord God i
said unto the serpent. Because thou hast
done this, thou art cursed above all cat-
tle, and above every beast of the field ;
upon thy belly shall thou go, and ''dust
shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
and I will put enmity between thee and i
the woman, and between thy seed and
'her seed; ''it shall bruise thy head, and
thou .shalt bruise his heel. Unto the wo- 1
man he said, I will greatly multiply thy
sorrow and thy conception ; in sorrow
thou shalt bring forth children; 'and thy
desire shall be 'to thy husband, and he
shall ""rule over thee. And unto Adam i
he said. Because thou hast hearkened
unto the voice of thy wife, and hast
eaten of the tree, " of which I command-
ed thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it :
"cursed is the ground for thy sake; Pin
sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days
of thy life; thorns also and thistles shall i
it 'bring forth to thee; and thou shalt
eat the herb of the field; in the sweat of i
thy face .shalt thou eat bread, till thou
return unto the ground; for out of it wast
thou taken : ifor dust thou art., and ''unto
20 dust shalt thou return. And Adam called
his wife's name 'Eve; because she was
21 the mother of all living. Unto Adam
also and to his wife did the Lord God
make coats of skins, and clothed them.
22 And the Lord God said, ^Behold, the
man is become as one of us, to know
good and evil : and now, lest he put
forth his hand, 'and take also of the tree
23 of life, and eat, and live for ever : there-
fore the Lord God sent him forth from
the garden of Eden, to till the ground
24 from whence he was taken. So he drove
out the man; and he placed "at the east
of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a
flaming sword '^which turned every way,
to keep the way of the tree of life.
And Adam knew Eve his \\ife ; and
she conceived, and bare "Cain, and said,
I have gotten a man from the Lord.
2 And she again bare his brother 'Abel.
And Abel was 'a keeper of sheep, but
3 Cain was a tiller of the ground. And
'in process of time it came to pass, that
Cain brought of the fruit of the ground
4 an offering unto the Lord. And .'Ibel,
he also brought of ^the firstlings of his
'flock and of the fat thereof And the
Lord had ''respect unto Abel and to his
5 offering: but unto Cain and to his offer-
ing he had not respect. And Cain was
very wroth, "^and his countenance fell.
6 And the Lord said unto Cain, \<\\y art
thou wToth? and why is thy countenance
7 fallen. > If thou doest well, shalt thou
not 'be accepted.' and if thou doest not
well, sin lieth at the door. And 'unto
thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt
8 rule over him. And Cain talked with
Abel his brother: and it came to pass,
when tliey were in the field, that Cain
rose up against Abel his brother, and
9 ''slew him. And the Lord said unto
Cain, Where is Abel thy brother.? And
he said, ''I know not : Am I my brother's
10 keeper.' And he said. What hast thou
done? the voice of thy brother's 'blood
iicrieth unto me from the ground. And
now art thou cursed from the earth,
which hath opened her mouth to receive
12 thy brother's blood from thy hand. ^Vhen
thou tillest the ground, it shall not hence-
forth yield unto thee her strength; a fu-
gitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in
13 the earth. And Cain said unto the
Lord, 'My punishment is greater than
14/ can bear. Behold, thou hast driven
me out this day from the face of the

And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, lest

Cain went out from the presence of the

the east of Eden. And Cain knew his 17
wife ; and she conceived, and bare ' Enoch :
and he builded a city, and called the name
of the city, after the name of his son,
Enoch. And unto Enoch was born Irad : 18
and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael
begat Methusael : and Methusael begat
' Lamech. And Laniech took unto him 19
two wives : the name of the one ivas
Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father 20
of such as dwell in tents, and of such as
have cattle. And his brother's name wasix
Jubal : he was the father of all such as
handle the harp and organ. And Zillah, 22
tHeb. M'V/- she also bare Tubal-cain, an Urfctructor
''"'• of every artificer in brass and iron : and the
sister of Tubal-cain ivas Naamah. And 23
Lamech said unto his wives,

For "I have slain a man to my 'wound-

klf Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, 24
Truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.
And Adam knew his wife again; and she 25
bare a son, and called his name 'Seth:

And Noah was five hundred years old : 33
and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and 'J^--
pheth.
And it came to pass, when men began
to multiply on the face of the earth, and
daughters were bom unto them, that 2
the sons of God saw the daughters of
men that they 7vere fair ; and they ^took
them wives of all which they chose.
And the Lord said, ''My spirit shall not 3
always strive with man, "^for that he also
is flesh : yet his days shall be an hun-
dred and twent}' years. There were 4
giants in the earth in those days ; and
also after that, when the sons of God
came in unto the daughters of men, and
they bare children to them, the same
became mighty men which -ivere of old,
men of renown. And God saw that the 5
wickedness of man 7vas great in the
earth, and that ' everj' ^ imagination of the
thoughts of his heart aYZj only evil 'con-
tinually. And ^it repented the Lord 6
that he had made man on the earth, and
it fgrieved him at his heart. And the -
Lord said, I will destroy man whom I
have created from the face of the earth ;
'both man, and beast, and the creeping
thing, and the fowls of the air ; for it
repenteth me that I have made them.
But Noah s found grace in the eyes of s
the Lord.
These are the generations of Noah : 9
•'Noah was a just man and 'perfect in
his generations, and Noah 'walked with
God. And Noah begat three sons, lo
Shem, Ham, and Japheth. The earth n
also was corrupt *= before God, and the
earth was 'filled 7i'ith violence. And 12
God "looked upon the earth, and be-
hold, it was corrupt ; for all flesh had
corrupted his way upon the earth. And 13
God said unto Noah, "The end of all
flesh is come before me ; for the earth is
filled 'ivith violence through them ; and
behold, I will destroy them 'with the
earth. Make thee an ark of gopher 14
wood; 'rooms shalt thou make in the
ark, and shalt pitch it within and without
with pitch. And this is the fashion which 15
thou shalt make it of: the length of the
ark shall be three hundred cubits, the
breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height
of it thirty cubits. A window shalt thou 16
make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt
thou finish it above ; and the door of
the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof;
with lower, second, and third stories
shalt thou make it. And behold, 1,17
even I, do bring a flood of waters upon
the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is
the breath of life, from under heaven :
and every thing that is in the earth shall
18 die. But with thee will I establish my
covenant ; and thou shalt come into the
ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife,
19 and thy sons' wives with thee. And of
every living thing of all flesh, two of
every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to
keep them alive with thee ; they shall be
20 male and female. Of fowls after their
kind, and of cattle after their kind, of
every creeping thing of the earth after
his kind, °two of ever}' soit shall come
21 unto thee, to keep them alive. And
take thou unto thee of all food that is
eaten, and thou shalt gather // to thee ;
and it shall be for food for thee, and for
22 them. PThus did Noah; according to
all that God commanded him, so did he.
And the Lord said unto Noah, ^Come
thou and all thy house into the ark ; for
•"thee have I seen righteous before me
2 in this generation. Of ever}' '^clean beast
thou shalt take to thee *by sevens, the
male and his female : and of beasts that
arc not clean by two, the male and his
3 female. Of fowls also of the air 'by
sevens, the male and the female ; to
keep seed alive upon the face of all the
4 earth. For yet seven days, and I will
cause it to rain upon the earth forty
days and forty nights ; and every living
substance that I have made will I 'de-
stroy from off the face of the earth.
5 ''And Noah did according unto all that
6 the Lord commanded him. And Noah
■was six hundred years old when the flood
7 of waters was upon the earth. And Noah
went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his
sons' wives with him, into the ark, because
s of the waters of the flood. Of clean beasts,
and of beasts that are not clean, and of
fowls, and of e^'er}' thing that creepeth
9 upon the earth, there went in two and two
unto Noah into the ark, the male and the
female, as God had commanded Noah.
ID And it came to pass "after seven
days, that the waters of the flood were
11 upon the earth. In the six hundredth
year of Noah's life, in the second month,
the seventeenth day of the month, the
same day were all the "^fountains of the
great deep broken up, and the 'fwin-
12 dows of heaven were opened. And the
rain was upon the earth forty days and
13 forty nights. In the selfsame day en-
tered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and

Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's
"wife, and die three wives of his sons
with them, into the ark ; they, and 14
every beast after his kind, and all the
cattle after their kind, and every creep-
ing thing that creepeth upon the earth
after his kind, and everj' fowl after his
kind, every bird of every 'sort. And 15
they swent in unto Noah into the ark,
two and two of all flesh, wherein is the
breath of life. And they that went in, j6
went in male and female of all flesh, as
God had commanded him : and the
Lord ''shut him in. And the flood was 17
forty days upon the earth ; and the
waters increased, and bare up the ark,
and it was lift up above the earth. And 18
the waters pre\'ailed, and were increased
greatly upon the earth ; and the ark
went upon the face of the waters. And 19
the waters prevailed exceedingly upon
the earth; and all the high hills, that
'ivere under the whole heaven, were co-
vered. Fifteen cubits upward did the 20
waters prevail ; and the mountains were
covered. And all flesh died that moved n
upon the earth, both of fowl, and of
cattle, and of beast, and of every creep-
ing thing that creepeth upon the earth,
and eveiy man: all in 'whose nostrils 22
7t>as *the breath of life, of all that was
in the Axy land, died. And every living 23
substance was destroyed which was upon
the face of the ground, both man, and
cattle, and the creeping things, and the
fowl of the heaven; and they were de-
stroyed from the earth: and ''Noah only
remained alive, and ihcy that 7vere with
him in the ark. And the waters pre- 24
vailed upon the earth an hundred and
fifty days.
And God =>remembered Noah, and
every living thing, and all the cattle that
7vas with him in the ark : ''and God
made a wind to pass over tlie eartli, and
the waters asswaged; '^the fountains also 2
of the deep and the windows of heaven
were stopped, and the rain from heaven
was restrained ; and the waters returned 3
from off the earth 'condnually : and after
the end ''of the hundred and fifty days
the waters were abated. And the ark 4
rested in the seventh month, on the
seventeenth day of the month, upon the
mountains of Ararat. And the waters 5
'decreased continually until the tenth
month : in the tenth month, on the first
day of the month, were the tops of the
mountains seen. And it came to pass e
at the end of forty days, that Noah open-
ed =the window of the ark which he had
7 made: and he sent forth a raven, which
went forth 'to and fro, until the waters
swere dried uf) from off the earth. Also
he sent forth a dove from him, to see if
the waters were abated from ofl" the face
9 of the ground; but the dove found no
rest for the sole of her foot, and she re-
turned unto him into the ark, for the
waters were on the face of the whole
earth : then he put forth his hand, and
took her, and 'pulled her in unto him
10 into the ark. And he stayed yet other
seven days ; and again he sent forth the
11 dove out of the ark ; and the dove came
in to him in the evening; and lo, in her
mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so
Noah knew that the waters were abated
12 from off the earth. And he stayed yet
other seven days ; and sent forth the
dove ; which returned not again unto
him any more.
13 And it came to pass in the six hun-
dredth and first year, in the first month,
the first day of the month, the waters
were dried up from off the earth : and
Noah removed the covering of the ark,
and looked, and behold, the face of the
14 ground was diy. And in the second
month, on the seven and twentieth day
15 of the month, was the earth dried. And
16 God spake unto Noah, saying, Go forth
of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy
sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.
17 Bring forth with thee every living thing
that is with thee, of all flesh, both of
fowl, and of cattle, and of every creep-
ing thing that creepeth upon the earth ;
that they may breed abundantly in the
earth, and fbe fruitful, and multiply upon
is the earth. And Noah went forth, and
his sons, and his wife, and his sons'
19 wives with him : every beast, every creep-
ing thing, and every fowl, and whatso-
ever creepeth upon the earth, after their
'kinds, went forth out of the ark.
20 And Noah builded an altar unto the
Lord ; and took of every clean beast, and
of ever)' clean fowl, and offeredburnt offer-
21 ings on the altar. And the Lord smelled
s'a sweet savour ; and the Lord said in
his heart, I will not again ''curse the
ground any more for man's sake ; " for
the 'imagination of man's heart is evil
from his youth ; ''neither will I again
smite any more every thing living, as I
22 have done. "While the earth remain-

And God blessed Noah and his sons,
and said unto them, ^Be fruitful, and
multiply, and replenish the earth. And 2
the fear of you and the dread of you
shall be upon every beast of the earth,
and upon ever)' fowl of the air, upon all
that moveth upon the earth, and upon
all the fishes of the sea ; into your hand
are they delivered. ''Every moving thing 3
that liveth shall be meat for you ; even
as the "^green herb have I given you all
things. But flesh with the ''life thereof, 4
which is the blood thereof, shall you not
eat. And surely your blood of your 5
lives will I require ; '^at the hand of
every beast will I require it, and fat the
hand of man ; at the hand of every
man's brother will I require the life of
man. s\Vhoso sheddeth man's blood, 6
by man shall his blood be shed : '•for in
the image of God made he man. And ^
you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring
forth abundantly in the earth, and mul-
tiply therein.
And God spake unto Noah, and to s
his sons with him, saying, And I, 'be- 9
hold I establish my covenant with you
and with your seed after you ; and with 10
every living creature that is with you, of
the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast
of the earth with you ; from all that go
out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.
And '^I will establish my covenant withn
you ; neither shall all flesh be cut off" any
more by the waters of a flood; neither
shall there any more be a flood to de-
stroy the earth. And God said, 'This 12
is the token of the covenant which I
make between me and you and every
living creature that is with you, for per-
petual generations: I do set ""my bow in 13
the cloud, and it shaU be for a token of
a covenant between me and the earth.
And it shall come to pass, when I bring 14
a cloud over the earth, that "the bow
shall be seen in the cloud: and "I will 15
remember my covenant, which is between
me and you and every living creature of
all flesh; and the waters shall no more
become a flood to destroy all flesh. And 16
the bow shall be in the cloud ; and I will
look upon it, that I may remember Pthe
everlasting covenant between God and
every living creature of all flesh that is
upon the earth. And God said unto 17
Noah, This is the token of the cove-
nant, which I have established between
me and all flesh that is upon the
earth.
And the sons of Noah, that went forth
of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and
Japheth : land Ham is the father of 'Ca-
naan. These are the three sons of
Noah : and of them was the whole earth
overspread. And Noah began to be a
husbandman, and he planted a vineyard :
and he drank of the wine, and was
drunken; and he was uncovered within
his tent. And Ham, the father of Ca-
naan, saw the nakedness of his father,
and told his two brethren without. And
Shem and Japheth took a garment, and
laid it upon both their shoulders, and
went backward, and covered the naked-
ness of their father; and their faces 'ii>cre
backward, and they saw not their father's
nakedness. And Noah awoke from his
wine, and knew what his younger son
had done unto him. And he said,
"■Cursed be Canaan;
^A servant of ser\-ants shall he be unto
his brethren.
And he said,
Blessed be 'the Lord God of Shem;
And Canaan shall be 'his servant,
God shall 'enlarge Japheth,
And he shall dwell in the tents of Shem;
And Canaan shall be his servant.
And Noah lived after the flood three
hundred and fifty years. And all the
days of Noah were nine hundred and
fifty years : and he died.
Now these are the generations of the
sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth :
and unto them were sons bom after the
flood. ^The sons of Japheth; ''(iomer,
and "^Magog, and Madai, and ''Javan,
and <^Tubal, and '^Meshech, and Tiras.
And the sons of Gomer; "^Ashkenaz,
and Riphath, and ''Togarmah. And the
sons of Javan; Elishah, and fTarshish,
sKittim, and 'Dodanim. By these were
sthe isles of the Gentiles divided in their
lands; every one after his tongue, after
their families, in their nations.
■•And the sons of Ham; 'Cush, and
Mizraim, and 'Phut, and Canaan. And
the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah,
and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabte-
cha: and the sons of Raamah; fSheba,
and fDedan. And Cush begat Nimrod :
he began to be a mighty one in the
earth. He was a mighty hunter before
the Lord : wherefore it is said, Eien as
Nimrod the mighty hunter before the
Lord. And the beginning of his king-

Now these are the generations of Te- 27
rah : Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and
Haran; and Haran begat Lot. Andis
Haran died before his father Terah in
the land of his nativity, in Ur of the
Chaldees. And Abram and Nahor took 29
them wives: the name of Abram's wife
•was 'Sarai; and the name of Nahor's
wife, ''Milcah, the daughter of Haran,
the father of Milcah, and the father of
Iscah. But Sarai was barren ; she had 30
no child. And Terah 'took Abram his 31
son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's
son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his
son Abram's wife; and they went forth
with them "from Ur of the Chaldees, to
go into "the land of Canaan; and they
came unto Haran, and dwelt there. And 32
the days of Terah were two hundred and
five years : and Terah died in Haran.
Now the ='LoRD had said unto Abram,
Get thee out of thy country, and from
thy kindred, and from thy father's house,
unto a land that I will shew thee : and I 2
will make of thee a great nation, and I
will bless thee, and make thy name great ;
and thou shalt be a blessing: ^and I will 3
bless them that bless thee, and curse him
that curseth thee : '^andin thee shall all
families of the earth be blessed. So 4
Abram departed, as the Lord had spoken
unto him ; and Lot went with him : and
Abram 7vas seventy and five years old
when he departed out of Haran. And 5
Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his
brother's son, and all their substance that
they had gathered, and ''the souls that
they had gotten =in Haran; and they
went forth to go into the land of Canaan ;
and into the land of Canaan they came.
And Abram fpassed through the land un- 6
to the place of Sichem, unto the splain
of ''Moreh. 'And the Canaanite 'icms then
in the land. And the Lord appeared 7
unto Abram, and said, ''Unto thy seed
will I give this land: and there builded
he an altar unto the Lord, who appeared
unto him. And he removed from thence s
unto a mountain on the east of Beth-el,
and pitched his tent, Jiaviiig'^t'Ca.-^\ on the
west, and Hai on the east : and there he
builded an altar unto the Lord, and ' called
upon the name of the Lord. And Abram 9
journeyed, 'going on still toward the south.
And there was ™a famine in the land: 10
and Abram went down into Egypt to so-
journ there; for the famine was "grievous
in the land. And it came to pass, when n
he was come near to enter into Egypt,
that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold
now, I know that thou art a fair woman
12 to look upon: therefore it shall come to
pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee,
that they shall say. This is his wife : and
they "will kill me, but they will save thee ° '='';, =°, '—

13 alive. Say, 1 pray thee, thou art my sis- 6— n.
ter : that it may be well with me for thy
sake; and my soul shall live because of
14 thee. And it came to pass, that, when
Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyp-
tians beheld the woman that she loas
15 very fair. The princes also of Pharaoh
saw her, and commended her before Pha-
raoh : and the woman was taken into
i6 Pharaoh's house. And he entreated A-
bram well for her sake : and he had sheep,
and oxen, and he asses, and menserv-
ants, and maidservants, and she asses,
17 and camels. And the Lord Pplagued pch 20. 18.
Pharaoh and his house with great plagues k. 105'. it'
18 because of Sarai Abram's wife. And
Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What
is this that thou hast done unto me? why
didst thou not tell me that she was thy
19 wife? Why saidst thou. She is my sister?
so I might have taken her to me to wife :
now therefore behold thy wife, take her,
20 and go thy way. And Pharaoh com-
manded his men concerning him : and
they sent him away, and his wife, and all
that he had.
And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, XIII.
and his wife, and all that he had, and
2 Lot with him, into the south. ^And A- «Prov. 10.22.
bram was very rich in cattle, in silver,
3 and in gold. And he went on his jour-
neys from the south even to Beth-el, unto
the place where his tent had been at the
4 beginning, between Beth-el and Hai ; un-
to the ''place of the altar, which he had '''^''- "■7'8-
made there at the first : and there Abram
5 called on the name of the Lord. And
Lot also, which went with Abram, had
6 flocks, and herds, and tents. And "^the ■=<*. 36. ?•
land was not able to bear them, that
they might dwell together : for their sub-
stance was great, so that they could not
7 dwell together. And there was ''a strife ""ch. 26. 30.
between the herdmen of Abram's cattle
and the herdmen of Lot's cattle: "^and ' jJ'^J''- *g

thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have
made Abram rich : save only that which 24
the young men have eaten, and the por-
tion of the men 'which went with me,
Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take
their portion.
After these things the word of the
Lord came unto Abram in a vision, say-
ing, ='Fear not, Abram : I am thy ''shield,
a;n/ thy exceeding "^great reward. And 2
Abram said. Lord God, what wilt thou
give me, seeing I go childless, and the
steward of my house is this Eliezer of
''Damascus? And Abram said. Behold, 3
to me thou hast given no seed : and lo,
'one born in my house is mine heir.
And behold, the word of the Lord (ame 4
unto him, saying, This shall not be thine
heir; but he that f shall come forth out
of thine o\vn bowels shall be thine heir.
And he brought him forth abroad, and 5
said, Look now towards heaven, and stell
the ''stars, if thou be able to number
them: and he said unto him, 'So shall
thy seed be. And he ''believed in 6
the Lord; and he 'counted it to
him _/()/- righteousness. And he said
unto him, I am the LoRnthatbrought thee 7
out of "" Ur of the Chaldees, " to give thee
this land to inherit it. And he said, Lord
God, "whereby shall I know that I shall s
inherit it? And he said unto him, Take y
me a heifer of three years old, and a
she goat of three years old, and a ram of
three years old, and a turtle-dove, and a
young pigeon. And he took unto him 10
all these, and Pdivided them in the midst,
and laid each piece one against another :
but ''the birds divided he not. And when n
the fowls came down upon the carcases,
Abram drove them away. And when ■;
the sun was going down, 'a. deep sleep
fell upon Abram; and, lo, a horror of
great darkness fell upon him. And he 13
said unto Abram, Know of a surety Hhat
thy seed shall be a stranger in a
land i/iai is not theirs, and shall
serve them; and 'they shall afflict
them "four hundred years; and 14
also that nation, whom they shall
serve, "will I judge: and afterward
vshall they come out with great
substance. And ^thou shalt go ='to thyi;
''fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried
''in a good old age. But <=/« the fourth 16
generation they shall come hither again :
for the iniquity ''of the Amorites ^is not
yet full. And it came to pass, that, when 17
the sun went down, and it was 'dark,
behold a smoking furnace, and *a burn-
ing lamp that passed between those
3 pieces. In the same day the Lord
made a covenant with Abram, saying,
eUnto thy seed have I given this land,
from ''the river of Egypt unto the great
J river, the ri\er Euphrates : the ' Kenites,
and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
^and the ''Hittites, and the 'Perizzites, and
I the ""Rephaims, and the Amorites, and
the "Canaanites, and the ''Girgashites,and

Now Sarai Abram's wife "bare him no
children: and she had a handmaid, ''an
Egyptian, whose name 7c<as "^Hagar.
2 ''And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold
now, the Lord <=hath restrained me from
bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid ;
it may be that I may 'obtain children by
her. And Abram hearkened to the voice
3 of Sarai. And Sarai Abram's wife took
Hagar her maid the Eg)'ptian, after
Abram 'had dwelt ten years in the land
of Canaan, and gave her to her husband
4 Abram to be his wife. And he went in
unto Hagar, and she conceived: and
when she saw that she had conceived,
her mistress was sdespi-sed in her eyes.
5 And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong
he upon thee : I have given my maid
into thy bosom; and when she saw that
she had conceived, I was despised in her
eyes: ''the Lord judge between me and
6 thee. But Abram said unto Sarai, 'Be-
hold, thy maid is in thy hand ; do to her
'as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai
'dealt hardly with her, ''she fled from

found her by a fountain of water in the
'wilderness, by the fountain in the way

maid, whence camest thou? and whither
wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from
9 the face of my mistress Sarai. And the
angel of the Lord said unto her. Return
to thy mistress, and submit thyself under
10 her hands. And the angel of the Lord
said unto her, "I will multiply thy seed
exceedingly, that it shall not be num-
iibered for multitude. And the angel of
the Lord said unto her, Behold, thou
art with child, and shalt bear a son,

14 And the uncircumcised man child whose
flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised,
that soul shall be cut off from his jjeople ;
15 he hath broken my covenant. And God
said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy
wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai,
16 but "Sarah shall her name be. And I
will bless her, ^and give thee a son also
of her: yea, I will bless her, and 'she
shall be a mother 'of nations; kings of
17 people shall be of her. Then Abraham
fell upon his face, "and laughed, and said
in his heart. Shall a child be born unto
him that is an hundred years old? and
shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?
18 And Abraham said unto God, O that
ly'^Lshmael might live before thee! And
God said, y Sarah thy wife shall bear thee
a son indeed; and thou shalt call his
name Isaac: and I will establish my co-
venant with him for an everlasting cove-
20 nant, and with his seed after him. And
as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Be-
hold, I have blessed him, and will make
him fruitful, and ^will multiply him ex-
ceedingly; ^twelve princes shall he beget,
''and I will make him a great nation.
21 But my covenant will I establish with
Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee
22 at this set time in the next year. And he
left off talking with him, and '^God went
up from Abraham.
23 And Abraham took Ishmael his son,
and all that were born in his house, and
all that were bought with his money,
every male among the men of Abraham's
house; and circumcised the flesh of their
foreskin in the selfsame day, as God had
24 said unto him. And Abraham rcas nine-
ty years old and nine, when he was cir-
cumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
25 And Ishmael his son 7C'as thirteen years
old, when he was circumcised in the flesh
26 of his foreskin. In the selfsame day was
Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his
27 son. And all the men of his house, born
in the house, and bought with money of
the stranger, were circumcised with him.
And the Lord appeared unto him in

he lift up his eyes and looked, and lo,

saw them, he ran to meet them from the

tree : and <= I will fetch a morsel of bread,
and 'comfort ye your hearts; after that
you shall pass on: ffor therefore 'are you
come to your servant. And they said,
So do, as thou hast said. And Abraham (
hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and
said, 'Make ready quickly three mea-
sures of fine meal, knead //, and make
cakes upon the hearth. And Abraham :
ran unto the herd, and fetcht a calf ten-
der and good, and gave // unto a young
man ; and he hasted to dress it. And he
took butter, and milk, and the calf which
he had dressed, and set it before them;
and he stood by them under the tree,
and they did eat. And they said unto •
him. Where is Sarah thy wife? And he
said. Behold, sin the tent. And he said, r
I will certainly return unto thee ''ac-
cording to the time of life; and lo,
'Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And
Sarah heard // in the tent door, which was
behind him. Now '^Abraham and Sarah i
7vcre old and well stricken in age; and
it ceased to be with Sarah 'after the
manner of women. Therefore Sarah n
"laughed within herself, saying, After I
am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my
"lord being old also? And the Lord i
said unto Abraham, \\Tierefore did Sarah
laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a
child, which am old? °Is any thing too ■
hard for the Lord? PAt the time ap-
pointed I will return unto thee, accord-
ing to the time of life, and Sarah shall have
a son. Then Sarah i denied, saying, 1 1
laughed not; for she was afraid. And
he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.
And the men rose up from thence, i
and looked toward Sodom: and Abra-
ham went with them ■'to bring them on
the way. And the Lord said, *Shall 1 1
hide from Abraham that thing which I
do; seeing that Abraham shall surely be-i
come a great and mighty nation, and all
the nations of the earth shall be "blessed
in him? For I know him, "that he will i
command his children and his "house-
hold after him, and they shall keep the
way of the Lord, to do justice and judg-
ment; that the Lord may bring upon
Abraham that which he hath spoken of
him. And the Lord said. Because "the 2
cr)' of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and
because their sin is very grievous ; y 1 2
will go down now, and see whether they
have done altogether according to the
cry of it, which is come unto me ; and if
22 not, ^ I will know. And the men turned
their faces from thence, *and went to-
ward Sodom: but Abraham ''stood yet
before the Lord.
23 And Abraham '^drew near, and said,
■^ Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with
24 the wicked? Peradventure there be fifty
righteous within the city: wilt thou also
destroy and not spare the place for the
25 fifty righteous that are therein? That be
far from thee to do after this manner, to
slay the righteous with the wicked : and
'that the righteous should be as the wick-
ed, that be far from thee : f Shall not the
26 Judge of all the earth do right? And the
Lord said, sif l find in Sodom fifty
righteous within the city, then I will spare
27 all the place for their sakes. And .\bra-
ham answered and said, ''Behold now, I
have taken upon me to speak unto the
Lord, which ani but 'dust and ashes:
28 Peradventure there shall lack five of the
fifty righteous : wilt thou destroy all the
city for lack of five? And he said. If I
find there forty and five, I will not de-
29Stroy //. And he spake unto him yet
again, and said, Peradventure there shall
be forty found there. And he said, I will
30 not do // for forty's sake. And he .said
tinto him. Oh let not the Lord be angry,
and I will speak : Peradventure there
shall thirty be found there. And he said,
I will not do //, if I find thirty there.
3j And he said. Behold now, I have taken
upon me to speak unto the Lord: Per-
adventure there shall be twenty found
there. And he said, I will not destroy
32 2^ for twenty's sake. And he said, ''Oh
let not the Lord be angr)', and I will
speak yet but this once: Peradventure
ten shall be found there. And he said,
33 1 will not destroy it for ten's sake. And
the Lord went his way, as soon as he
had left communing with Abraham: and
Abraham returned unto his place.
And there "came two angels to Sodom
at even ; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom :
and ''Lot seeing them rose uj) to meet
them; and he bowed himself with his
2 face toward the ground ; and he said.
Behold now, my lords, '^turn in, I pray
you, into your servant's house, and tarry
all night, and ''wash your feet, and ye
shall rise up early, and go on your ways.
And they said, 'Nay; but we will abide
3 in the street all night. And he pressed
upon them greatly; and they turned in
unto him, and entered into his house ;
and he made them a feast, and did bake

unleavened bread, and they did eat. But 4
before they lay down, the men of the city,
eren the men of Sodom, compassed the
house round, both old and young, all the
people from every quarter: fand they 5
called unto Lot, and said unto him.
Where arc the men which came in to
thee this night? sbring them out unto
us, that we ''may know them. And 'Lot 6
went out at the door unto them, and
shut the door after him, and said, I pray 7
you, brethren, do not so wickedly. '^Be- s
hold now, I have two daughters which
have not known man; let me, I pray
you, bring them out unto you, and do ye
to them as is good in your eyes: only
unto these men do nothing; 'for there-
fore came they under the shadow of my
roof. And they said, Stand back. And 9
they said again, This onefel/o^ii ""came
in to sojourn, "and he will needs be a
judge : now will we deal worse with thee,
than with them. And they pressed sore
upon the man, ez'en Lot, and came near
to break the door. But the men put 10
forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the
house to them, and shut to the door.
And they smote the men that were at n
the door of the house with "blindness,
both small and great ; so that they weari-
ed themselves to find the door. And 12
the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here
any besides? son in law, and thy sons,
and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou
hast in the city, p bring f/icm out of this
place : for we will destroy this place, 13
because the cry of them is waxen great
before the face of the Lord; and the
Lord hath sent us to destroy it. And 14
Lot went out, and spake unto his isons
in law, which married his daughters, and
said, "'Up, get ye out of this place; for
the Lord will destroy this city. But he
seemed as one that mocked unto his
sons in law. And when the morning 15
arose, then the angels hastened Lot, say-
ing. Arise, take thy wife, and tliy two
daughters, which *are here; lest thou be
consumed in the 'iniquity of the city.
And while he lingered, the men laid hold 16
upon his hand, and upon the hand of
his wife, and upon the hand of his two
daughters; ''the Lord being merciful un-
to him : and they brought him forth, and
set him without the city. And it came 17
to pass, when they had brought them
forth abroad, that he said, Escape for
thy life; 'look not behind thee, neither
stay thou in all the plain ; escape to the
mountain, lest thou be consumed. And
Lot said unto them, Oh, "not so, my
Lord : behold now, thy servant hath found
grace in thy sight, and thou hast magni-
fied thy mercy, which thou hast shewed
unto me in saving my life ; and I cannot
escape to the mountain, lest some evil
take me, and I die: behold now, this
city is near to flee unto, and it is a little
one : Oh, let me escape thither, {is it not
a little one?) and my soul shall live.
And he said unto him. See, "I have
accepted 'thee concerning this thing,
that I will not overthrow this city, for
the which thou hast spoken. Haste thee,
escape thither; for "I cannot do any
thing till thou be come thither. There-
fore ythe name of the city was called
"Zoar. The sun was 'risen upon the earth
when Lot entered into Zoar. Then ^the
Lord rained upon Sodom and upon
Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the
Lord out of heaven; and he overthrew
those cities, and all the plain, and all the
inhabitants of the cities, and that which
gi-ew upon the ground. But his wife look-
ed back from behind him, and she became
^a pillar of salt. And Abraham gat up
early in the morning to the place where
''he stood before the Lord : and he looked
toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and to-
ward all the land of the i)lain, and be-
held, and lo, "^the smoke of the country
went up as the smoke of a fijmace.
And it came to pass, when God destroy-
ed the cities of the plain, that God "^re-
membered Abraham, and sent Lot out of
the midst of the overthrow, when he over-
threw the cities in the which Lot dwelt.
And Lot went up out of Zoar, and
dwelt in the "mountain, and his two
daughters with him ; for he feared to dwell
in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and
his two daughters. And the firstborn
said unto the younger. Our father is old,
and there is not a man in the earth to
come in unto us after the manner of
all the earth: come, let us make our
father drink wine, and we will lie with
him, that we may preserve seed of our
father. And they made their father drink
wine that night: and the firstborn went
in, and lay with her father ; and he
perceived not when she lay down, nor
when she arose. And it came to pass
on the morrow, that the firstborn said
unto the younger. Behold, I lay yester-
night with my father: let us make him
drink wine this night also; and go thou

in, and lie with him, that we may pre-
serve seed of our father. And they made 35
their father drink wine that night also:
and the younger arose, and lay with him ;
and he perceived not when she lay down,
nor when she arose. Thus were both 36
the daughters of Lot with child by their
father. And the firstborn bare a son, 37
and called his name Moab: ^the same is
the father of the Moabites unto this day.
And the younger, she also bare a son, 3s
and called his name Ben-ammi: sthe
same is the father of the children of
Ammon unto this day.
And Abraham journeyed from ^thence
toward the south country, and dwelled
between ''Kadesh and Shur, and '^so-
journed in ''Gerar. And Abraham said 2
of Sarah his wife, '^She is my sister: and
Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took
Sarah. But ^God came to Abimelech 3
sin a dream by night, and said to him,
''Behold, thou art but a dead man, for
the woman which thou hast taken; for
she is 'a man's wife. But Abimelech .i
had not come near her : and he said.
Lord, 'wilt thou slay also a righteous na-
tion? Said he not unto me. She is my ;
sister? and she, even she herself said.
He is my brother: in the "integrity of
my heart and innocency of my hands
have I done this. And God said unto 6
him in a dream. Yea, I know that thou
didst this in the integrity of thy heart;
for I also withheld thee from sinning ''a-
gainst me : therefore suffered I thee not
to touch her. Now therefore restore the 7
man his wife; 'for he is a prophet, and
he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt
live : and if thou restore her not, know
thou that thou shalt surely die, thou,
"'and all that are thine. Therefore Abi- 8
melech rose early in the morning, and
called all his servants, and told all these
things in their ears : and the men were
sore afraid. Then Abimelech called A- 9
braham, and said unto him, What hast
thou done unto us? and what have I of-
fended thee, that thou hast brought on
me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou
hast done deeds unto me "that ought
not to be done. And Abimelech said 10
unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that
thou hast done this thing? And Abra-n
ham said. Because I thought. Surely °the
fear of God is not in this place; and they
will slay me for my wife's sake. And 12
yet indeed ^she is my sister; she is the
daughter of my father, but not the daugh-
ter of my mother; and she became my
13 wife. And it came to pass, when 1 God
caused me to wander from my father's
house, that I said unto her. This is thy
kindness which thou shalt shew unto me;
at every place whither we shall come,
14 ■'say of me. He is my brother. And
Abimelech ^took sheep, and oxen, and
menservants, and womenservants, and
gave than unto Abraham, and restored
15 him Sarah his wife. And Abimelech
said, Behold, 'my land is before thee :
16 dwell 'where it pleaseth thee. And unto
Sarah he said. Behold, I have given "thy
brother a thousand pieces of silver : be-
hold, he is to thee •''a covering of the
eyes, unto all that are with thee, and
with all other: thus she was v reproved.
17 So Abraham prayed unto God : and God
healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his
maidservants; and they bare children.
isFor the Lord ^had fast closed up all the
wombs of the house of Abimelech, be-
cause of Sarah Abraham's wife.
And the Lord ^visited Sarah as he
had said, and the Lord did unto Sarah
2 ''as he had spoken. For Sarah "= con-
ceived, and bare Abraham a son in his
old age, ''at the set time of which God
3 had spoken to him. And Abraham called
the name of his son that was born unto
him, whom Sarah bare to him, "Isaac.
4 And Abraham ^circumcised his son Isaac
being eight days old, sas God had com-
5 manded him. And ''Abraham 7^(7^ an
hundred years old, when his son Isaac
6 was bom unto him. And Sarah said,
'God hath made me to laugh, so that all
7 that hear will laugh with me. j\nd she
said. Who would have said unto Abra-
ham, that Sarah should have given chil-
dren suck? ''for I have bom him a son
8 in his old age. And the child grew, and
was weaned : and Abraham made a great
feast the same day that Isaac was weaned.
9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar 'the
Egyptian, ""which she had born unto A-
10 braham, "mocking. Wherefore she said
unto Abraham, "Cast out this bond-
woman and her son: for the son of
this bondwoman shall not be heir
11 with my son, ei'en with Isaac. And the
thing was very grievous in Abraham's
12 sight ^because of his son. .'^nd God said
unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in
thy sight because of the lad, and because
of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath
said unto thee, hearken unto her voice;
for lin Isaac shall thy seed be call-

ed. And also of the son of the bondwo- 13
man will I make "^a nation, because he is
thy seed. And Abraham rose up early in 14
the morning, and took bread, and a bot-
tle of water, and gave // unto Hagar,
putting // on her shoulder, and the child,
and sent her away : and she departed,
and wandered in the wilderness of ^Beer-
sheba. And the water was spent in the 15
bottle, and she cast the child under one
of the shrubs. And she went, and sat 16
her down over against him a good way
off, as it were a bowshot : for she said.
Let me not see the death of the child.
And she sat over against him, and lift up
her voice, and wept. And God heard 17
the voice of the lad; and the angel of
God called to Hagar out of heaven, and
said unto her. What aileth thee, Hagar?
fear not; for God hath heard the voice
of the lad where he is. Arise, lift up the 18
lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I
will make him a great nation. And God 19
opened her eyes, and she saw a well of
water; and she went, and filled the bottle
with water, and gave the lad drink. And 20
God 'was with the lad; and he grew, and
dwelt in the wilderness, "and became an
archer. And he dwelt in the wilderness 21
of Paran: and his mother ''took him a
wife out of the land of Egypt.
And it came to pass at that time, that 22
yAbimelech and Phichol the chief cap-
tain of his host spake unto Abraham,
saying, ^God « with thee in all that thou
doest: now therefore ''swear unto me 23
here by God 'that thou wilt not deal
falsely with me, nor •'with my son, nor
•"with my son's son : but according to the
kindness that I have done unto thee,
thou shalt do unto me, and to the land
wherein thou hast sojourned. And A- 24
braham said, I will swear. And Abra-25
ham reproved Abimelech because of a
well of water, which Abimelech's serv-
ants "^had violently taken away. And 20
Abimelech said, I wot not who hath
done this thing: neither didst thou tell
me, neither yet heard I (/ it, but to day.
And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and 27
gave them unto Abimelech; and both of
them ''made a covenant. And Abraham 28
set seven ewe lambs of the flock by
themselves. And Abimelech said unto 29
Abraham, "^What mean these seven ewe
lambs which thou hast set by themselves.?
And he said. For these seven ewe Iambs 30
shalt thou take of my hand, that they
may be a witness unto me, that I have
31 digged this well. Wherefore he fcalled
that place " Beer-sheba ; because there
32 they sware both of them. Thus they
made a covenant at Beer-sheba : then
Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the chief
captain of his host, and they returned
33 into the land of the Philistines. And
Abraham planted a "grove in Beer-sheba,
and scalled there on the name of the
34 Lord, ''the everlasting God. And Abra-
ham sojourned in the 'Philistines' land
many days.
And it came to pass after these things,
that -'God did tempt Abraham, and said
unto him, Abraham: and he said, 'Be-
2 hold, here I am. And he said. Take
now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom
thou lovest, and get thee into the land
of ''Moriah; and offer him there for a
burnt offering upon one of the mountains
3 which I will tell thee of And Abraham
rose up early in the morning, and sad-
dled his ass, and took two of his young
men with him, and Isaac his son, and
clave the wood for the burnt offering,
and rose up, and went unto the place of
4 which God had told him. Then on the
third day Abraham lift up his eyes, and
ssaw the place afar off. And Abraham
said unto his young men. Abide you
here with the ass; and I and die lad will
go yonder and worship, and come again
6 to you. And Abraham took the wood
of the burnt offering, and '^ laid it upon
Isaac his son ; and he took the fire in his
hand, and a knife; and they went both
7 of them together. And Isaac spake unto
Abraham his fother, and said, My father :
and he said, 'Here am I, my son. And
he said, Behold the fire and the wood:
but where is the 'lamb for a burnt oft'er-
8 ing? And Abraham said. My son, God
will provide himself a lamb for a burnt
offering : so they went both of them to-
ggether. And they came to the place
which God had told him of; and Abra-
ham built an altar there, and laid the
wood in order, and bound Isaac his son,
and ''laid him on the altar upon the
10 wood. And Abraham stretched forth his
hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
11 And the angel of the Lord called unto
him out of hea\en, and said, Abraham,
12 Abraham : and he said. Here am I. And
he said, "= Lay not thine hand upon the lad,
neither do thou any thing unto him: for

up his eyes, and looked, and behold be-
hind him a ram caught in a thicket by
his horns : and Abraham went and took
the ram, and offered him up for a burnt
offering in the stead of his son. And 14
Abraham called the name of that place
'Jehovah-jireh: as it is said to this day.
In the mount of the Lord it shall be
seen. And the angel of the Lord called 15
unto Abraham out of heaven the second
time, and said, sBy myself have 1 16
sworn, saith the Lord, for because thou
hast done this thing, and hast not with-
held thy son, thine only son: that in 17
blessing I will bless thee, and in multi-
plying I will multiply thy seed '■as the
stars of the heaven, 'and as the sand
which is upon the sea 'shore; and ''thy
seed shall possess 'the gate of his ene-
mies; ""and in thy seed shall all theis
nations of the earth be blessed;
"because thou hast obeyed my voice.
So Abraham returned unto his young 19
men, and they rose up and went together
to ° Beer-she ba; and Abraham dwelt at
Beer-sheba.
And it came to pass after these things, 20
that it was told Abraham, saying. Be-
hold, PMilcah, she hath also bom chil-
dren unto thy brother Nahor; iHuz his 21
firstborn, and ■'Buz his brother, and Ke-
muel the father of Aram, and Chesed, 22
and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph,
and Bethuel. And ^Bethuel begat 'Re- 23
bekah : these eight Milcah did bear to
Nahor, Abraham's brother. And his 24
concubine, whose name -ivas Reumah,
she bare also Tebah, and Gaham, and
Thahash, and Maachah.
And Sarah was an hundred and seven
and twenty years old; these loere the
years of the life of Sarah. And Sarah 2
died in ^'Kirjath-arba; the same is ''Heb-
ron in the land of Canaan: and Abra-
ham came to mourn for Sarah, and to
weep for her. And Abraham stood up 3
from before his dead, and spake unto the
sons of Heth, saying, '^I am a stranger 4
and a sojourner with you: ""give me a
possession of a buryingplace with you,
that I may bury my dead out of my
sight. And the children of Heth an- ;
swered Abraham, saying unto him. Hear t
us, my lord: thou art 'a mighty prince
among us: in the choice of our sepul-
chres bury thy dead; none of us shall
withhold from thee his sepulchre, but
that thou mayest bury thy dead. And 7
Abraham stood up, and bowed himself
to the people of the land, even to the
8 children of Heth. And he communed
with them, saying. If it be your mind
that I should bury my dead out of my
sight; hear me, and intreat for me to
9 Ephron the son of Zohar, that he may
give me the cave of Machpelah, which
he hath, which is in the end of his field;
for *as much money as it is worth he
shall give it me for a possession of a
10 buryingplace amongst you. And Ephron
dwelt amongst the children of Heth: and
Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham
in the 'audience of the children of Heth,
even of all that <=went in at the gate of
ji his city, saying, fNay, my lord, hear me :
the field give I thee, and the cave that is
therein, I give it thee: in the presence
of the sons of my people give I it thee :
12 bury thy dead. And Abraham bowed
down himself before the people of the
13 land. And he spake unto Ephron in
the audience of the people of the land,
saying, But if thou ioi/t i^ive it, I pray
thee, hear me : I will give thee money
for the field; take it of me, and I will
14 bury my dead there. And Ephron an-
15 swered Abraham, sajing unto him. My
lord, hearken unto me: the land is ivorth
four hundred ^shekels of silver; what is
that betwixt me and thee? bury there-
16 fore thy dead. And Abraham hearkened
unto Ephron; and Abraham •'weighed to
Ephron the silver, which he had named
in the audience of the sons of Heth, four
hundred shekels of silver, current money
17 with the merchant. And 'the field of
Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which
was before Mamre, the field, and the
cave which nms therein, and all the trees
that were in the field, that were in all the
borders round about, were made sure
isunto Abraham for a possession in the
presence of the children of Heth, before
all that went in at the gate of his city.
19 And after this, Abraham buried Sarah
his wife in the cave of the field of Mach-
pelah before Mamre : the same is Heb-
2oron in the land of Canaan. And the
field, and the cave that is therein, ''were
made sure unto Abraham for a possession
of a buryingplace by the sons of Heth.
And Abraham was old, (?;/// 'well strick-
en in age: and the Lord ''had blessed
2 Abraham in all things. And Abraham
said ''unto his eldest servant of his house
that "^ ruled over all that he had, <JPut, I

Lord, the God of heaven, and the God
of the earth, that fthou shalt not take a
wife unto my son of the daughters of the
Canaanites, amongst whom I dwell : sbut ,
thou shah go i^unto my country, and to
my kindred, and take a wife unto my
son Isaac. And the servant said unto ;
him, Peradventure the woman will not
be willing to follow me unto this land :
must I needs bring thy son again unto
the land from whence thou camest? And <
Abraham said unto him. Beware thou
that thou bring not my son thither again.
The Lord God of heaven, which 'took ;
me from my father's house, and from the
land of my kindred, and which spake
unto me, and that sware unto me, say-
ing, '^Unto thy seed will I give this land;
'he shall send his angel before thee, and
thou shalt take a wife unto my son from
thence. And if the woman will not be ;
willing to follow thee, then ""thou shalt
be clear from this my oath : only bring
not my son thither again. And the ser- .
vant "put his hand under the thigh of
Abraham his master, and sware to him
concerning that matter.
And the servant took ten °camels of the 1
camels of his master, and departed; 'for
all thegoodsof his master7(:v/r in hishand :
and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia,
unto Pthe city of Nahor. And he made i
//is camels to kneel down without the
city by a well of water at the time of the
evening, even the time *ithat ivomen go
out to draw water. And he said, ''O i
Lord God of my master Abraham, I
pray thee, ^send me good speed this
day, and shew kindness unto my master
Abraham. Behold, ' I stand here by the i
well of water; and "the daughters of the
men of the city come out to draw water:
and let it come to pass, t/iat the damsel ■
to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitch-
er, I pray thee, that I may drink; and
she shall say. Drink, and I will give thy
camels drink also: let the same be she
that thou hast appointed for thy servant
Isaac; and ^thereby shall I know that
thou hast shewed kindness unto my mas-
ter. And it came to pass, before he had i
done speaking, that behold, Rebekah
came out, who was born to Bethuel, son
of 5'Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abra-
ham's brother, with her pitcher upon her
shoulder. And the damsel was ^very i
*fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had
any man known her : and she went down
to the well, and filled her pitcher, and
17 came up. And the servant ran to meet
her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink
18 a little water of thy pitcher. And she
said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted,
and let down her pitcher upon her hand,
19 and gave him drink. And when she had
done giving him drink, she said, I will
draw water for thy camels also, until
20 they have done drinking. And she
hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the
trough, and ran again unto the well to
draw 2i<ater, and drew for all his camels.
21 And the man wondering at her held his
peace, to wit whether ^the Lord had " ver. 12.
made his journey ''prosperous or not. ''ver. 40, 42,
22 And it came to pass, as the camels had Neh. 1. n.
done drinking, that the man took a golden
'earring of half a shekel weight, and two 'OryVvi.c/
bracelets for her hands of ten shekels /Zad'f See'
23 weight of gold ; and said. Whose daughter £!■■ 3°i 47-
art thou? tell me, I pray thee: is there Judg. s. 24—
room in thy father's house for us to 5^1,42. n.
24 lodge in? And she said unto him, "=1 Prov. 25. 12.

Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor. ?,?■ ■'•
, , Ex. 32. 2, 3
25 She said moreover unto him. We have with Prov.
both straw and provender enough, and \]:X\ 21.
26 room to lodge in. And the man ''bowed p'-"''- '6- "■
down his head, and worshipped the Lord, j l"'. 48, 52.
27 And he said, Blessed be the Lord God '^''- ■•■ 3'-
of my master Abraham, who hath not
left destitute my master of "^his mercy
and his truth : I being in the way, the
Lord Hed me to the house of my mas- ' '"^'- ■^^■
23 ter's brethren. And the damsel ran, and
told thc?n of her mother's house these
29 things. And Rebekah had a brother,
and his name was sLaban: and Laban ^'^''i^s-so.
ran out unto the man, unto the well. & 29. 5.
30 And it came to pass, when he saw the
earring and bracelets upon his sister's
hands, and when he heard the words of
Rebekah his sister, saying. Thus spake
the man unto me; that he came unto
the man; and behold, he stood by the
31 camels at the well. And he said, Come
in, ''thou blessed of the Lord; where- ^uds'i' ^?'
fore standest thou without? for I have Ruth 3. 10.
prepared the house, and room for the
32 camels. And the man came into the
house : and he ungirded his camels, and

greatly; and he is become great: and he
hath given him flocks, and herds, and
silver, and gold, and raenservants, and
maidservants, and camels, and asses.
And Sarah my master's wife ™bare a son 36
to my master when she was old: and
"unto him hath he given all that he
hath. And my master °made me swear, 37
saying. Thou shalt not take a wife to my
son of the daughters of the Canaanites,
in whose land I dwell: Pbut thou shalt 38
go unto my father's house, and to my
kindred, and take a wife unto my son.
lAnd I said unto my master, Peradven-39
ture the woman will not follow me. 'And 40
he said unto me, The Lord, ^before
whom I walk, will send his angel with
thee, and 'prosper thy way; and thou
shalt take a wife for my son of my kin-
dred, and of my father's house: "then 41
shalt thou be clear from this my oath,
when thou comest to my kindred; and if
they give not thee one, thou shalt be
clear from my oath. And I came this .;;
day unto the well, and said, ''O Lord
God of my master Abraham, if now thou
do yprosper my way which I go: ^be-.|:
hold, I stand by the well of water; and
it shall come to pass, that tvhen tlie vir-
gin Cometh forth to draw water, and I
say to her. Give me, I pray thee, a little
water of thy pitcher to drink; ''and she 44
say to me. Both drink thou, and I will
also draw for thy camels : let the same be
the woman whom the Lord •'hath ap-
pointed out for my masters son. And 43
before I had done '^speaking in mine
heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with
her pitcher on her shoulder; and she
went down unto the well, and drew 7i<a-
tcr: and I said unto her, Let me drink,
I pray thee. And she made haste, and 46
let down her pitcher from her shoulder,
and said, Drink, and I will give thy
camels drink also: so I drank, and she
made the camels drink also. And 1 .17
asked her, and said, Whose daughter art
thou? And she said. The daughter of
Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bare
unto him: and I put ''the earring upon
her foce, and the bracelets upon her
hands. ''And I bowed down my head, 48
and worshipped the Lord, and blessed
the Lord God of my master Abraham,
which had led me in the right way to
take fmy master's brother's daughter
unto his son. And now if ye will 8deal49
kindly and truly with my master, tell
me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn
50 to the right hand, or to the left. Then
Laban and Bethuel answered and said.
The thing proceedeth from the Lord :
we cannot •'speak unto thee bad or good.
51 Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take
her, and go, and let her be thy master's
son's wife, 'as the Lord hath spoken.
52 And it came to pass, that, when Abra-
ham's ser\^ant heard their words, he
•'worshipped the Lord, Iwwitig himself
53 to the earth. And the servant brought
forth 'jewels of silver, and jewels of
gold, and raiment, and gave them to Re-
bekah : he gave also to her brother and
54 to her mother 'precious things. And
they did eat and drink, he and the men
that 7C'e>-c with him, and tarried all night ;
and they rose up in the morning, and he
said, ""Send me away unto my master.
55 And her brother and her mother said,
Let the damsel abide with us 'a fau
days, at the least ten; after that she
56 shall go. And he said unto them, Hin-
der me not, seeing the Lord hath pro-
spered my way; send me away that I
57 may go to my master. And they said.
We will call the damsel, and inquire at
5S her mouth. And they called Rebekah,
and said unto her. Wilt thou go with this
59 man? And she said, I will go. And
they sent away Rebekah their sister, and
"her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and
60 his men. And they blessed Rebekah,
and said unto her. Thou art our sister,
be thou "the mother of thousands of mil-
lions, and Plet thy seed possess the gate
of those which hate them.
bi And Rebekah arose, and her damsels,
and they rode upon the camels, and fol-
lowed the man : and the servant took
62 Rebekah, and went his way. And Isaac
came from the way of the iwcll Lahai-
roi; for he dwelt in the south country.
63 And Isaac went out '"'to meditate in
the field at the eventide: and he lift
up his eyes, and saw, and behold, the
64 camels were coming. And Rebekah lift
up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac,
65 ^she lighted off the camel. For she had
said unto the servant, ^Vhat man is this
that walketh in the field to meet us?
And the ser\'ant had said. It is my mas-
ter: therefore she took a vail, and co-
66vered herself. And the servant told
67 Isaac all things that he had done. And
Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's
tent, and took Rebekah, and she became
his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac
'was comforted after his mother's "ai?^?;'//.

Then again Abraham took a wife, and
her name ■:c'as Keturah. And ^she bare
him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan,
and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan.
And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim,
and Letushim, and Leummim. . And the
sons of Midian ; Ephah, and Epher, and
Hanoch, and Abidah, and Eldaah. All
these 7i>ere the children of Keturah. And
''Abraham gave all that he had unto
Isaac. But unto the sons of the concu-
bines, which Abraham had, Abraham
gave gifts, and "^sent them away from
Isaac his son, while he yet lived, east-
ward, unto ''the east country. And these
an' the days of the years of Abraham's
life which he lived, an hundred three-
score and fifteen years. Then Abraham
gave up the ghost, and died 'in a good
old age, an old man, and full qf years;
and fwas gathered to his people. And
Shis sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him
in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of
Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite,
which is before Mamre; ''the field which
Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth :
'there was Abraham buried, and Sarah
his wife. And it came to pass after the
death of Abraham, that God blessed his
son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the ^\ve\l
Lahai-roi.
Now these are the generations of Lsh-
mael, Abraham's son, 'whom Hagar the
Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare unto
Abraham: and "these are the names of
the sons of Ishmael, by their names, ac-
cording to their generations: the first-
born of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar,
and Adbeel, and Mibsam, and Mishma,
and Dumah, and Massa, 'Hadar, and
Tenia, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:
these are the sons of Ishmael, and these
are their names, by their towns, and by
their castles; "twelve princes according
to their nations. And these are the years
of the life of Ishmael, an hundred and
thirty and seven years: and "he gave up
the ghost and died; and was gathered
unto his people. PAnd they dwelt from
Havilah unto iShur, that is before Egypt,
as thou goest towards Assyria : a>iti he
'died in the presence of all his brethren.
And these are the generations of Isaac,
Abraham's son: ■■ Abraham begat Isaac:
and Isaac was forty years old when he
took Rebekah to wife, *the daughter of
Bethuel the .Syrian of 'Padan-aram, "the
sister to Laban the Syrian. And Isaac
intreated the Lord for his wife, because
she rcas barren: "and the Lord was in-
treated of him, and Rebekah his wife
22 conceived. And the children struggled
together within her; and .she said. If //
ie so, why a;// I thus? And she *went
2.i to inquire of the Lord. And the Lord
said unto her,
J'Two nations are in thy womb,
And two manner of people shall be
separated from thy bowels;
And f/ie one people shall be stronger
than the other people ;
And ^the elder shall serve the
younger.
.•4 And when her days to be delivered
were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in
25 her womb. And the first came out red,
''all over like a hairy garment; and they
2.5 called his name Esau. And after that
came his brother out, and ''his hand took
hold on Esau's heel; and '^his name was
called Jacob: and Isaac rr'tjj- threescore
27 years old when she bare them. And the
boys grew: and Esau was '' a cunning hun-
ter, a man of the field ; and Jacob was =a
28 plain man, fdwelling in tents. And Isaac
loved Esau, because 'he did seat of his
venison: ''but Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau
came from the field, and he 7iias faint:
30 and Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I
pray thee, 'with that same red pottage;
for I am faint: therefore was his name
31 called "Edom. And Jacob said, Sell me
32 this day thy birthright. And Esau said,
Behold, I am 'at the point to die: and
what profit shall this birthright do to
33 me? And Jacob said, Swear to me this
day; and he sware to him: and 'he
nsold his birthright unto Jacob. Then
Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of
lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and
rose up, and went his way: 'thus Esau
despised his birthright.
And there was a famine in the land,
besides ''the first famine that was in the
days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto
''Abimelech king of the '^Philistims unto
2 Gerar. And the Lord appeared unto
him, and said. Go not down into Egypt;
dwell in "'the land which I shall tell thee
3 of: "^sojourn in this land, and 'I will be
with thee, and svvill bless thee: for unto
thee, and unto thy seed, '' I will give all
these countries, and I will perform 'the
oath which I sware unto Abraham thy
4 father; and ''I will make thy seed
to multiply as the stars of heaven.

and will give unto thy seed all
these countries; 'and in thy seed I
shall all the nations of the earth be
blessed; ""because that Abraham obey- 5
ed my voice, and kept my charge, my
commandments, my statutes, and my
laws. And Isaac dwelt in Gerar: and 6,7
the men of the place asked him of
his wife; and "he said. She is my sister:
for he feared to say. She is my wife;
lest, °said he, the men of the place should
kill me for Rebekah; because she V7iias
fair to look upon. And it came to pass, a
when he had been there a long time,
that Abimelech king of the Philistims I
looked out at a window, and saw, and I
behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah
his wife. And Abimelech called Isaac, 9
and said. Behold, of a surety she is thy
wife: and how saidst thou, She is my
sister? And Isaac said unto him, Be-
cause I said. Lest I die for her. And 10
Abimelech said, What is this thou hast \,
done unto us? one of the people might
lightly have lien with thy wife, and ithou
shouldest have brought guiltiness upon
us. And Abimelech charged all his peo-n
pie, saying, He that toucheth this man
or his wife .shall surely be put to death.
Then Isaac sowed in that land, and *re-i.-
ceived in the same year an hundredfold:
and the Lord ■■ blessed him. And the 13
man waxed great, and *went forivard,
and grew until he became very great:
for he had possession of flocks, and pos- 14
session of herds, and great store of 'ser-
vants: and the Philistims ^envied him.
For all the wells 'which his father's ser-15
vants had digged in the days of Abra-
ham his father, the Philistims had stop-
ped them, and filled them luith earth.
And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go 16
from us; for "thou art much mightier
than we.
And Isaac departed thence, and pitched 17
his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt
there. And Isaac digged again the wells is
of water, which they had digged in the
days of Abraham his father ; for the Phi-
listims had stopped them after the death
of Abraham: "and he called their names
after the names by which his father had
called them. And Isaac's .ser\'ants digged 19
in the valley, and found there a well of
'springing water. And the herdmen of 20
Gerar >'did strive with Isaac's herdmen,
saying, The water is ours : and he called
the name of the well 'Esek; because
they strove with him. And they digged 21
another well, and strove for that also:
and he called the name of it "Sitnah.
22 And he removed from thence, and digged
another well; and for that they strove
not: and he called the name of it "Re-
hoboth ; and he said, For now the Lord
hath made room for us, and we shall
23 ^be fruitful in the land. And he went
24 up from thence to Beer-sheba. And the
Lord appeared unto him the same night,
and said, ^ I am the God of Abraham thy
father: ''fear not, for "^I am with thee,
and will bless thee, and multiply thy
seed for my servant Abraham's sake.
25 And he ''builded an altar there, and
called upon the name of the Lord, and
pitched his tent there: and there Isaac's
26 sen-ants digged a well. Then Abimelech
went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath
OfUoiMxi, friends, and ^Phichol the chief
27 captain of his army. And Isaac said
unto them, Wherefore come ye to nie,
seeing ye hate me, and have fsent me
23 away from you? And they said, 'We
saw certainly that the Lord Swas with
thee : and we said, Let there be now an
oath betwixt us, everi betwixt us and
thee, and let us make a covenant with
29 thee; 'that thou wilt do us no hurt, as
we have not touched thee, and as we
have done unto thee nothing but good,
and have sent thee away in peace: ''thou
iocirt now the blessed of the Lord. 'And
he made them a feast, and they did eat
31 and drink. And they rose up betimes
in the morning, and '^sware one to an-
other: and Isaac sent them away, and
32 they departed from him in peace. And
it came to pass the same day, that Isaac's
servants came, and told him concerning
the well which they had digged, and said
33 unto him, We have found water. And
he called it 'Shebah: 'therefore the name
of the city is ' Beer-sheba unto this day.
34 And Esau was forty years old when he
took to wife ""Judith the daughter of Beeri
the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter
35 of Elon the Hittite: ""which were 'a grief
of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.
And it came to pass, that when Isaac
was old, and ^his eyes were dim, so that
he could not see, he called Esau his
eldest son, and said unto him, My son :
and he said unto him. Behold, here am I.
2 And he said. Behold now, I am old, I

and make me savoury meat, such as I 4
love, and bring it to me, that I may eat ;
that my soul <^may bless thee before I
die. And Rebekah heard when Isaac 5
spake to Esau his son. And Esau went
to the field to hunt for venison, and to
bring it. And Rebekah spake unto Ja- o
cob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy
father speak unto Esau thy brother, say-
ing. Bring me venison, and make me 7
savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless
thee before the Lord before my death.
Now therefore, my son, ''obey my voice s
according to that which I command thee.
Go now to the flock, and fetch me from 9
thence two good kids of the goats ; and
I will make them <=savoury meat for thy
father, such as he loveth : and thou shalt 10
bring it to thy father, that he may eat,
and that he fmay bless thee before his
death. And Jacob said to Rebekah his n
mother. Behold, sEsau my brother is a
hairy man, and I am a smooth man : my 12
father peradventure will '^ feel me, and I
shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I
shall bring a curse upon me, and not a
blessing. And his mother said unto him, 13
'Upon me be thy curse, my son: only
obey my voice, and go fetch me them.
And he went, and fetched, and brought 14
them to his mother: and his mother
''made savoury meat, such as his father
loved. And Rebekah took "goodly rai-15
ment of her eldest son Esau, which were
with her in the house, and put them upon
Jacob her younger son : and she put the 16
skins of the kids of the goats upon his
hands, and upon the smooth of his neck :
and she gave the savoury meat and the 17
bread, which she had prepared, into the
hand of her son Jacob. And he came is
unto his father, and said, My father: and
he said. Here am I ; who art thou, my
son? And Jacob said unto his father, 19
I am Esau thy firstborn; I have done
according as thou badest me: arise, I
pray thee, sit and eat of my venison,
■"that thy soul may bless me. And Isaac 20
said unto his son, How is it that thou
hast found // so quickly, my son? And
he said. Because the Lord thy God
"brought it 'to me. And Isaac said un-21
to Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that
I "may feel thee, my son, whether thou
be my very son Esau or not. And Jacob 22
went near unto Isaac his father; and he
felt him, and said. The voice is Jacob's
voice, but the hands arc the hands of
ESau. And he discerned him not, be- 23
cause Phis hands were hairy, as his bro-
ther Esau's hands: so he blessed him.
24 And he said, Art thou my very son Esau?
25 And he said, I am. And he said. Bring
it near to me, and I will eat of my son's
venison, ithat my soul may bless thee.
And he brought it near to him, and he
did eat: and he brought him wine, and
20 he drank. And his father Isaac said
unto him, Come near now, and kiss me,
27 my son. And he came near, and kissed
him: and he smelled the smell of his
raiment, and ''blessed him, and said.
See, Hhe smell of my son is as the
smell of a field which the Lord hath
blessed :
23 Therefore God give thee of 'the dew
of heaven,
And the fatness of the earth,
And "plenty of corn and wine:
29 Let people serve thee.
And nations bow down to thee :
■" Be lord over thy brethren.
And "let thy mother's sons bow down
to thee:
v Cursed be every one that curseth thee,
And blessed be he that blesseth thee.
30 And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac
had made an end of blessing Jacob, and
Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the
presence of Isaac his father, that Esau
his brother came in from his hunting.
31 And he also had made savoury meat, and
brought // unto his father, and said unto
his father, Let my father arise, and eat
of his son's venison, that thy soul may
32 bless me. And Isaac his father said unto
him. Who aii thou? And he said, I am
33 thy son, thy firstborn Esau. And Isaac
'trembled very exceedingly, and said,
^Who? where 7>he that hath 'taken veni-
son, and brought // me, and I have eaten
of all before thou earnest, and have bless-
ed him? yea, and he shall be bles.sed.
34 And when Esau heard the words of his
father, ^he cried with a great and ex-
ceeding bitter cry, and said unto his
father. Bless me, even me also, O my
35 father. And he said. Thy brother came
with subtilty, and hath taken away thy
36 blessing. And he said, ''Is not he rightly
named "Jacob? for he hath supplanted
me these two times: '^he took away my
birthright ; and behold, now he hath
taken away my blessing. And he said.
Hast thou not reserved a blessing for
37 me? And Isaac answered and said unto
Esau, ''Behold, I have made him thy
lord, and all his brethren have I given

wine have I 'sustained him: and what
shall I do now unto thee, my son? And 3s
Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but
one blessing, my father? bless me, even
me also, O my father. And Esau lift
up his voice, fand wept. And Isaac his 39
father answered and said unto him,
Behold, thy dwelling shall be 'the
fatness of the earth.
And of the dew of heaven from abo\'e ;
And by thy sword shalt thou hve, 40
And sshalt serve thy brother;
And it shall come to pass when thou
shalt have the dominion.
That •'thou shalt break his yoke from
off thy neck.
And Esau 'hated Jacob because of 41
the blessing wherewith his father blessed
him: and Esau said in his heart, ''The
days of mourning for my father are at
hand ; 'then will I slay my brother
Jacob. And these words of Esau her .,;
elder son were told to Rebekah: and
she sent and called Jacob her younger
son, and said unto him, Behold, thy bro-
ther Esau, as touching thee, doth com-
fort himself, purposing to kill thee. Now 43
therefore, my son, obey my voice; and
arise, flee thou to Laban my brother "'to
Haran ; and tarry with him a few days, 44
until thy brother's fury turn away; until 45
thy brother's anger turn away from thee, j
and he forget that which thou hast done
to him : then I will send, and fetch thee
from thence : why should I be deprived
also of you both in one day? And Re- 46
bekah said to Isaac, °I am weary of my
life because of the daughters of Heth:
°if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of
Heth, such as these which arc of the
daughters of the land, what good shall
my life do me?
And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed
him, and charged him, and said unto
him, ^Thou shalt not take a wife of the
daughters of Canaan. ''Arise, go to <^Pa- 2
dan-aram, to the house of '^Bethuel thy
mother's father; and take thee a wife from
thence of the daughters of 'Eaban thy
mothers brother. fAnd God Almighty 3
bless thee, and make thee fmitful, and
multiply thee, that thou mayest be 'a
multitude of people; and give thee sthe 4
blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy
seed with thee; that thou mayest in-
herit the land '''wherein thou art a stran-
ger, which God gave unto Abraham. And 5
Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to
Padan-aram unto Laban, son of Bethuel
the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Ja-
6 cob's and Esau's mother. When Esau
saw that Isaac ''had blessed Jacob, and
sent him away to Padan-aram, to take
him a wife from thence ; and that as he
blessed him he gave him a charge, say-
ing. Thou shalt not take a wife of the
7 daughters of Canaan; and that Jacob
obeyed his father and his mother, and
B was gone to Padan-aram ; and Esau see-
ing 'that the daughters of Canaan 'pleas-
,ed not Isaac his father; then went Esau
unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives
which he had '^Mahalath the daughter of
Ishmael Abraham's son, 'the sister of
Nebajoth, to be his wife.
3 And Jacob went out from "" Beer-sheba,
I and went toward " Haran. And he light-
ed upon a certain place, and tarried
there all night, because the sun was set;
and he took of the stones of that place,
and \)Viithem/orh.\i pillows, and lay down
; in that place to sleep. And he "dreamed,
and behold a ladder set up on the earth,
and the top of it reached to heaven: and
behold Pthe angels of God ascending
3 and descending on it. lAnd behold,
the Lord stood above it, and said, "■!
am the Lord God of Abraham thy father,
and the God of Isaac: ''the land where-
on thou liest, to thee will I give it, and
4 to thy seed; and 'thy seed shall be as
the dust of the earth, and thou shalt
'spread abroad "to the west, and to the
east, and to the north, and to the south :
and in thee and "in thy seed shall all
5 the families of the earth be blessed. And
behold, >T am with thee, and will keep
thee in all phucs whither thou goest,
and will ^bring thee again into this land;
for I ^will not leave thee, until I have
done that which I have spoken to thee
5 of And Jacob awaked out of his sleep,
and he said, Surely the Lord is in ''this
7 place ; and I knew it not. And he was
afraid, and said. How dreadful is this

ment to put on, so that ^ I come again 2
to my father's house in peace; 'then
shall the Lord be my God : and this 2
stone, which I have setyi^ra pillar, ''shall
be God's house: 'and of all that thou
shall give me I will surely give the tenth
unto thee.
Then Jacob 'went on his journey, and
came into the land of the 'people of ■''the
east. And he looked, and behold a well
in the field, and lo, there were three
flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of
that well they watered the flocks : and a
great stone 7i.ias upon the well's mouth.
And thither were all the flocks gathered:
and they rolled the stone from the well's
mouth, and watered the sheep, and put
the stone again upon the well's mouth in
his place. And Jacob said unto them.
My brethren, whence be ye? And they
said. Of ''Haran are we. And he said
unto them. Know ye Laban the son of
Nahor? And they said, We know ///;;;.
And he said unto them, '/r he well?
And they said, ^He is well : and behold,
Rachel his daughter cometh with the
sheep. And he said, Lo, ' // is yet high
day, neither is it time that the cattle
should be gathered together: water ye
the sheep, and go and feed ikcm. And
they said, AVe cannot, until all the flocks
be gathered together, and till they roll
the stone from the well's mouth; then
we water the sheep. And while he yet
spake with them, ''Rachel came with her
father's sheep : for she kept them. And i
it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel
the daughter of Laban his mother's bro-
ther, and the sheep of Laban his mother's
brother, that Jacob went near, and <=roll-
ed the stone from the well's mouth, and
watered the flock of Laban his mother's
brother. And Jacob ^kissed Rachel, and 1
lifted up his voice, and wept. And Jacob i
told Rachel that he 7cias sher father's
brother, and that he was Rebekah's son :
''and she ran and told her father. And i
it came to pass, when Laban heard the
'tidings of Jacob his sister's son, that
'he ran to meet him, and embraced him,
and kissed him, and brought him to his
house. And he told Laban all these
things. And Laban said to him, ''Surely i
thou art my bone and my flesh. And
he abode with him 'the space of a month.
And Laban said unto Jacob, Because i
thou art my brother, shouldest thou there-
fore serve me for nought? tell me, what
shall thy wages bel And Laban had two i
daughters: the name of the elder was
Leah, and the name of the younger was
17 Rachel. Leah was tender eyed ; but
Rachel was 'beautiful and well favoured.
18 And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, '"I
will serve thee seven years for Rachel
19 thy younger daughter. And Laban said,
// is better that I give her to thee,
than that I should give her to another
20 man: abide with me. And Jacob "served
seven years for Rachel ; and they seem-
ed unto him but a few days, for the love
he had to her.
;i And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me
my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I
22 may go in unto her. And Laban ga-
thered together all the men of the place,
23 and "made a feast. And it came lo pass
in the evening, that he took Leah his
daughter, and brought her lo him ; and
24 he went in unto her. And Laban gave
unto his daughter Leah PZilpah his maid
Qifor a handmaid. And it came to pass,
that in the morning, behold, it jcas Leah :
and he said to Laban, What is this thou
hast done unto me? did not I serve with
thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast
26 thou beguiled me? And Laban said. It
imust not be so done in our 'country,
to give the younger before the firstborn.
27 "■ Fulfil her week, and we will give thee
this also for the service which thou shall
serve with me yet seven other years.
28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her
week: and he gave him Rachel his
29 daughter lo wife also. And Laban gave
to Rachel his daughter ^Bilhah his hand-
30 maid to be her maid. And he went in
also unto Rachel, and he 'loved also
Rachel more than Leah, and served with
him "yet seven other years.
31 And when the Lord saw that Leah
was hated, he "opened her womb: but
32 Rachel teas barren. And Leah con-
ceived, and bare a son, and she called
his name "Reuben: for she said. Surely
the Lord hath "looked upon my afihc-
tion; now therefore my husband will love
33 me. And she conceived again, and bare
a son; and said, Because the Lord hath
heard that I was hated, he hath there-
fore given me this son also: and she
34 called his name "Simeon. And she con-
ceived again, and bare a son; and said,
Now tliis time will my husband ^be
joined unto me, because I have born
him three sons: therefore was his name
35 called "Levi. And she conceived again,

I praise the Lord: therefore she called
his name ^'Judah; and 'left bearing.
And when Rachel saw that "she bare
Jacob no chiliiren, Rachel ''envied her
sLster; and said unto Jacob, Give me
children, or else I die. And Jacob's an- 2
ger was kindled against Rachel : and he
said, Am I in God's stead, who hath
'withheld from thee the fruit of the
womb? And she said, Behold my maid 3
■^Bilhah, <=go in unto her; 'and she shall
bear upon my knees, that I may also
*have children by her. And she gave 4
him Bilhah her handmaid sto wife: and
Jacob went in unto her. And Bilhah 5
conceived, and bare Jacob a son. And t
Rachel said, God hath judged me, and
hath also heard my voice, and hath given
me a son : therefore called she his name
'Dan. And Bilhah Rachel's maid con- ^
ceived again, and bare Jacob a second
son. And Rachel said. With 'great 8
wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister,
and I have prevailed: and she called his
name ' ' Naphtali. When Leah saw that 9
''she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her
maid, and 'gave her Jacob to wife. And 10
Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a .son.
And Leah said, A troop cometh: and n
she called his name "Gad. And Zilpah ti
Leah's maid bare Jacob a second son.
And Leah said, 'Happy am I, for then
daughters ''will call me blessed: and she
called his name 'Asher. And Reuben 14
went in the days of wheat harv-est, and
found 'mandrakes inthe field, and brought
them unto his mother Leah. Then Ra-
chel said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee,
of thy son's mandrakes. And she said 13
unto her, ""/f it a small matter that thou
hast taken my husband? and wouldest
thou take away my son's mandrakes also?
And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie
with thee to night for thy son's man-
drakes. And Jacob came out of the 16
field in the evening, and Leah went out
to meet him, and said, Thou must come
in unto me ; for surely I have hired thee
with my son's mandrakes. And he lay
with her that night. And God hearkened 17
unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare
Jacob the fifth son. And Leah said, 18
God hath given me my hire, because I
have given my maiden to my husband :
and she called his name 'Issachar. And 19
Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob
the sixth son. And Leah said, God 20
hath endued me with a good dowry;
now will my husband dwell with me, be-
cause I have born him six sons: and she
21 called his name "*Zebulun. And after-
wards she bare a daughter, and called
22 her name "Dinah. And Clod "remem-
bered Rachel, and God hearkened to
23 her, and "opened her womb. And she
conceived, and bare a son; and said,
God hath taken away Pmy reproach:
24 and she called his name "Joseph; and
said, "iThe Lord shall add to me an-
other son.
25 And it came to pass, when Rachel
had born Joseph, that Jacob said unto
Laban, Send me away, that I may go
unto mine own place, and to my coun-
26 try. Give me my wives and my chil-
dren, '■for whom I have served thee, and
let me go: for thou knowest my service
27 which I have done thee. And Laban
said unto him, I pray thee, if I have
found favour in thine eyes, ^ tarry: for
I have learned by experience that 'the
Lord hath blessed me for tliy sake.
28 And he said, "Appoint me thy wages,
29 and I will give it. And he said unto
him, "Thou knowest how I have .served
thee, and how thy cattle was with me.
30 For // was little which thou hadst before
I came, and it is nmv 'increased unto a
multitude; and the Lord hath blessed
thee 'since my coming: and now when
shall I "provide for mine own house
31 also? And he said. What shall I give
thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not
give me any thing: if thou wilt do this
thing for me, I will again feed and keep
32 thy flock: I will pass through all thy
flock to day, removing from thence all
the speckled and spotted cattle, and all
the brown cattle among the sheep, and
the spotted and speckled among the
33 goats: and "i of such shall be my hire. So
shall my righteousness answer for me
'in time to come, when it shall come for
my hire before thy face : every one that
is not speckled and spotted amongst the
goats, and brown amongst the sheep, that
u shall be counted stolen with me. And
Laban said, Behold, I wx)uld it might be
35 according to thy word. And he remo\ed
that day the he goats that were ring-
straked and spotted, and all the she
goats that were speckled and spotted,
atid every one that had some white in it,
and all the brown amongst the sheep, and
gave them into the hand of his sons.
36 And he set three days' journey bet^vixt
himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the
rest of Laban's flocks.

And 2 Jacob took liim rods of green 37
poplar, and of the hazel and chesnut
tree; and pilled white strakes in them,
and made the white appear which was
in the rods. And he set the rods which 38
he had pilled before the flocks in the
^gutters in the watering troughs when
the flocks came to drink, that they should
conceive when they came to drink. And 39
the flocks conceived before the rods, and
brought forth cattle ^'ringstraked, speck-
led, and spotted. And Jacob did sepa- 40
rate the lambs, and set the faces of the
flocks toward the ringstraked, and all the
brown in the flock of Laban ; and he put
his own flocks by themselves, and put
them not unto Laban's cattle. And il;4i
came to pass, whensoever the stronger
cattle did conceive, that Jacob laid the
rods before the eyes of the cattle in the
gutters, that they might conceive among
the rods. But when the cattle were fee- 42
ble, he put them not in: so the feebler
were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.
And the man '^increased exceedingly, 43
and ''had much cattle, and maidservants,
and mensen-ants, and •= camels, and asses.
And he heard the words of Laban's
sons, saying, Jacob hath taken away all
that was our father's ; and of that which
7<:'(7j' of our father's hath he gotten all this
^glory. And Jacob beheld ''the counte- 2
nance of Laban, and behold, it was not
toward him 'as before. And the Lord 3
said unto Jacob, '^Return unto the land
of thy fathers, and to thy kindred ; and I
will be with thee. And Jacob sent and 4
called Rachel and Leah to the field unto
his flock, and said unto them, ''I see 5
your father's countenance, that it is not
toward me as before ; but the God of
my father "=hath been with me. And 6
fye know that with all my power I
have served your father. And your 7
father hath deceived me, and changed
my wages sten times; but God suffered
him not to hurt me. If he said thus, 8
''The speckled shall be thy wages; then
all the cattle bare speckled: and if he
said thus. The ringstraked shall be thy
hire; then bare all the cattle ringstraked.
Thus God hath 'taken away the cattle of 9
your father, and given them to me. And 10
it came to pass at the time that the cat-
tle conceived, that I lifted up mine eyes,
and saw in a dream, and behold, the
'rams which leaped upon the cattle were
ring.straked, speckled, and grisled. Andu
the angel of God spake unto me in a
dream, saying, Jacob: And I said. Here
! am L And he said, Lift up now thine
eyes, and see, all the rams which leap
upon the cattle are ringstraked, speckled,
and ''grisled : for 'I have seen all that La-
3 ban doeth unto thee. 1 am the God of
Beth-el, "'where thou anointedst the pil-
lar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto
me: "now arise, get thee out from this
land, and return unto the land of thy
4 kindred. And Rachel and Leah answer-
ed and said unto him, Is there yet any
portion or inheritance for us in our fa-
sther's house? Are we not counted of
him strangers? for °he hath sold us, and
hath quite devoured also our money.
6 For all the riches which God hath taken
from our father, that is ours, and our
children's: now then, whatsoever God
hath said unto thee, do.
7 Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons
sand his wives upon camels; and he car-
ried away all his cattle, and all his goods
which he had gotten, the cattle of his
getting, which he had gotten in Padan-
aram, for to go to Isaac his father in the
gland of Canaan. And Laban went to
shear his sheep : and Rachel had stolen
o'the 'images that were her father's. And
Jacob stale away 'unawares to Laban the
Syrian, in that he told him not that he
. fled. So he fled Avith all that he had ;
and he rose up, and passed over the
river, and Pset his face toicard the mount
2 Gilead. And it was told Laban on the
3 third day that Jacob was fled. And he
took his brethren with him, and pursued
after him seven days' journey; and they
4 overtook him in the mount Gilead. And
God 9 came to Laban the Syrian in a
dream by night, and said unto him. Take
heed that thou speak not to Jacob 'either
5 good or bad. Then Laban overtook Ja-
cob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent
in the mount: and Laban with his bre-
thren pitched in the mount of Gilead.
6 And Laban said to Jacob, What hast
thou done, that thou hast stolen away
■"unawares to me, and ^carried away my
daughters, as captives taken with the
7 sword? Wierefore didst thou flee away
secretly, and 'steal away from me; and
didst not tell me, that I might have sent
thee away with mirth, and with songs,
8 with tabret, and with harp? and hast
not suff'ered me 'to kiss my sons and my
daughters? "thou hast now done foolish-

ther's house, yd wherefore hast thou
ystolen my gods? And Jacob answered 31
and said to Laban, Because I was afraid :
for I said, Peradventure thou wouldest
take by force thy daughters from me.
With whomsoe\-er thou findest thy gods, 32
let him not live: before our brethren dis-
cern thou what is thine with me, and
take // to thee. For Jacob knew not
that Rachel had stolen them. And La- 33
ban went into Jacob's tent, and into Le-
ah's tent, and into the two maidservants'
tents; but he found them not. Then
went he out of Leah's tent, and entered
into Rachel's tent. Now Rachel had 34
taken the images, and put them in the
camel's furniture, and sat upon them.
And Laban 'searched all the tent, but
found thet/i not. And she said to her 35
father. Let it not displease my lord that
I cannot ^rise up before thee; for the
custom of women is upon me. And he
searched, but found not the images. And 36
Jacob was wToth, and chode with Laban :
and Jacob answered and said to Laban,
What is my trespass? what is my sin,
that thou hast so ^hotly pursued after
me? Whereas thou hast 'searched all 37
my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy
household stuff? set it here before ''my
brethren and "^thy brethren, that they
may judge betwixt us both. This twenty js
years have I been with thee; thy ewes and
thy she goats have not cast their young,
and the rams of thy flock have 1 not
eaten. That which was torn of beasts 1 39
brought not unto thee; I bare the loss of
it; of ''my hand didst thou require it,
whether stolen by day, or stolen by night.
Thus I was in the day, the drought con- 40
sumed me, and the frcst by night; and
my sleep departed from mine eyes. Thus 41
have I been twenty years in thy house;
I ■= served thee fourteen years for thy two
daughters, and six years for thy cattle:
and fthou hast changed my wages ten
times. sExcept the God of my father, 42
the God of Abraham, and ''the fear of
Isaac, had been with me, surely thou
hadst sent me away now empty. 'God
hath seen mine affliction and the labour
of my hands, and ''rebuked thee 'yester-
night. And Laban answered and said 43
unto Jacob, These daughters ai-e my
daughters, and these children are my chil-
dren, and these cattle are my cattle, and
all that thou seest is mine : and what can
I do this day unto these my daughters,
or unto their children which they have
44 born? Now therefore come thou, ""let
us make a covenant, I and thou; "and
let it be for a witness between me and
45 thee. And Jacob "took a stone, and set
46 it up_^r a pillar. And Jacob said unto
his brethren. Gather stones; and they
took stones, and made a heap: and
47 they did eat there upon the heap. And
Laban called it 'Jegar-sahadutha: but Ja-
48 cob called it ''Galeed. And Laban said,
PThis heap is a witness between me and
thee this day. Therefore was the name
49 of it called Galeed; and I'Mizpah; for
he said. The Lord watch between me
and thee, w-hen we are absent one from
so another. If thou shalt afflict my daugh-
ters, or if thou shalt take other wives be-
side my daughters, no man is with us;
see, God is witness betwixt me and thee.
SI And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this
heap, and behold this pillar, which I
52 have cast betwixt me and thee; "'this
heap be witness, and this pillar he witness,
that I will not pass over this heap to
thee, and that thou shalt not pass over
this heap and this pillar unto me, for
53 harm. The God of Abraham, and the
God of Nahor, the God of their father,
judge betwixt us. And Jacob sware by
54Hhe fear of his father Isaac. Then Ja-
cob 'offered sacrifice upon the mount,
and called 'his brethren to eat bread:
and they did eat bread, and tarried all
55 night in the mount. And early in the
morning Laban rose up, and kissed "his
sons and his daughters, and "blessed
them: "and Laban departed, and returned
unto his place.
.\nd Jacob went on his way, and the
1 angels of God met him. And when Ja-
cob saw them, he said. This is God's
='ho,st: and he called the name of that
3 place 'Mahanaim. And Jacob sent mes-
sengers before him to Esau his brother
unto the land of ''Seir, the 'country of
4 Edom. And he commanded them, say-
ing. Thus shall ye speak unto my lord
Esau; Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I
have sojourned with Laban, and stayed
ithere until now: and I have oxen, and
asses, flocks, and menservants, and wo-
menservants: and I have sent to tell my
lord, that "^I may find grace in thy sight.

saying, We came to thy brother Esau,
and also ""he cometh to meet thee, and
four hundred men with him. Then Ja-
cob was greatly afraid and distres.sed:
and he divided the people that was with
him, and the flocks, and herds, and the
camels, into two bands; and said. If a
Esau come to the one company, and
smite it, then the other company which
is left shall escape. And Jacob said, 'O 9
God of my father Abraham, and God of
my father Isaac, the Lord fwhich saidst
unto me. Return unto thy country, and
to thy kindred, and I will deal well with
thee: 'I am not worthy of the least of 10
all the smercies, and of all the truth,
which thou hast shewed unto thy ser-
vant ; for with my staff I passed over
this Jordan; and now I am become two
bands. Deliver me, I pray thee, from n
the hand of my brother, from the hand
of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will
come and smite me, and the mother
'with the children. And ''thou saidst, 12
I will surely do thee good, and make
thy seed as the sand of the sea, which
cannot be numbered for multitude. And 13
he lodged there that same night; and
took of that which came to his hand 'a
present for Esau his brother; two hun- 14
dred she goats, and twenty he goals,
two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,
thirty milch camels with their colts, forty 15
kine, and ten bulls, twenty she asses,
and ten foals. And he delivered them 16
into the hand of his servants, every drove
by themselves; and said unto his ser-
vants, Pass over before me, and put a
space betwixt drove and drove. And he 17
commanded the foremo.st, saying, When
Esau my brother meeteth dree, and ask-
eth thee, saying, ^Vhose art thoir? and
whither goest thou? and whose arc the.se
before thee? then thou shalt say, 77/n' is
be thy servant Jacob's; it is a present
sent unto my lord Esau: and behold,
also he is behind us. And so command- 19
ed he the second, and the third, and all
that followed the droves, saying, On this
manner shall you speak unto Esau, when
you find him. And say ye moreover. Be- 20
hold, thy servant Jacob is behind us.
For he said, I will appease him with the
present that goeth before me, and after-
ward I will see his face; peradventure he
will accept 'of me. So went the present 21
over before him : and himself lodged
that night in the company. And he 22
rose up that night, and took his two
wives, and his two womenservants, and
his eleven sons, and passed over the
23 ford 1^ Jabbok. And he took them, and
'sent them over the brook, and sent
over that he had.
i4 And Jacob was left alone; and there
'wrestled a man with him until the 'break-
25 ing of the day. And when he saw that
he prevailed not against him, he touched
the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow
of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he
26 wrestled with him. And he said, '"Let
me go, for the day breaketh. And he
said, I will not let thee go, except thou
27 bless me. And he said unto him. What
28 /> thy name? And he said, Jacob. And
he said, "Thy name shall be called no
more Jacob, but 'Israel: for as a prince
hast thou power with God and °with
29 men, and hast prevailed. And Jacob
asked him, and said. Tell me, 1 pray
thee, thy name. And he said, PWhere-
fore is it that thou dost ask after my
30 name? And he blessed him there. And
Jacob called the name of the place 'Pe-
niel : for 1 1 have seen God face to face,
31 and my life is preserved. And as he
passed over 'Penuel the sun rose upon
him, and he ^halted upon his thigh.
32 Therefore the children of Israel eat not
of the sinew which 'shrank, which is
upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this
day: because he touched the hollow of
Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank.
And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and
looked, and behold, ^Esau came, and
with him four hundred men. And he
divided the children unto Leah, and un-
to Rachel, and unto the two handmaids.
2 And he put the handmaids and their
children foremost, and Leah and her
children after, and Rachel and Joseph
3 hindermost. And he passed over before
them, and ''bowed himself to the ground
.seven times, until he camg near to his
4 brother. '^And Esau ran to meet him,
and emliraced him, ''and fell on his
neck, and kissed him: and they wept.
5 And he lift up his eyes, and saw the
women and the children ; and said, Who
are those 'with thee? And he said. The
children <= which God hath graciously
6 given thy servant. Then the hantlmaid-
ens came near, they and their children,
7 and they bowed themselves. And Leah
also with her children came near, and
bowed themselves: and after came Jo-
seph near and Rachel, and they bowed
8 themselves. And he said, 'What mean-

And he said, These are sto find grace in
the sight of my lord. And Esau said, I 9
have enough, my brother; 'keep that
thou hast unto thyself. And Jacob said, lo
Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found
grace in thy sight, then receive my pre-
sent at my hand: ''for therefore I 'have
seen thy face, as though I had seen the
face of God, and thou wast pleased with
me. Take, I pray thee, Jmy blessing u
that is brought to thee; because God
hath dealt graciousl y with me, and be-
cause I have 'enough. And he ''urged
him, and he took it. And he said, Let 12
us take our journey, and let us go, and
I will go before thee. And he said unto 13
him, My lord knoweth that the children
air tender, and the flocks and herds
with young are with me: and if »ien
should overdrive them one day, all the
flock will die. Let my lord, I pray 14
thee, pass over before his servant: and
I will lead on 'softly, 'according as the
cattle that goeth before me and the chil-
dren be able to endure, until I come
unto my lord ""unto Seir. And Esau 15
said. Let me now 'leave with thee some
of the folk that are with me. And he
said, 'What needeth it? "let me find
grace in the sight of my lord. So Esau 16
returned that day on his way unto Seir.
And Jacob journeyed to "Succoth, and 17
built him a house, and made booths
for his cattle : therefore the name of the
place is called 'Succoth. And Jacob 18
came to PShalem, a city of 'iShechem,
which is in the land of Canaan, when
he came from Padan-aram; and pitched
his tent before the city. And ■'he bought 19
a parcel of a field, where he had spread
his tent, at the hand of the children of
'Hamor, Shechem's father, for an hun-
dred 'pieces of money. And he eretted2o
there an altar, and ^called it 'El-Elohe-
Israel.
And ^Dinah the daughter of Leah,
which she bare unto Jacob, went out to
see the daughters of the land. And when 2
''Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite,
prince of the country, saw her, he took
her, and lay with her, and 'defiled her.
And his soul clave unto Dinah the 3
daughter of Jacob, and he loved the
damsel, and spake 'kindly unto the dam-
sel. And Shechem "^ spake unto his fa- 4
ther Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel
to wife. And Jacob heard that he had 5
defiled Dinah his daughter: now his
sons were with his cattle in the field:
and Jacob <^held his peace until they
6 were come. And Hamor the father of
Shechem went out unto Jacob to com-
7mune with him. And the sons of Jacob
came out of the field when they heard
it: and the men were grieved, and they
^were very wroth, because he ^had
wrought folly in Israel in lying with
Jacob's daughter; which thing sought
snot to be done. And Hamor com-
muned with them, saying. The soul of my
son Shechem longeth for your daughter:
9 I pray you give her him to wife. And
make ye marriages with us, and give
your daughters unto us, and take our
10 daughters unto you. And ye shall dwell
with us: and ''the land shall be before
you; dwell and 'trade you therein, and
II ''get you possessions therein. And She-
chem said unto her father and unto her
brethren, 'Let me find grace in your
eyes, and what ye shall say unto me
12 1 will give. Ask me never so much
'"dowry and gift, and I will give accord-
ing as ye shall say unto me : but give me
13 the damsel to wife. And the sons of
Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor
his father "deceitfully, and said, because
14 he had "defiled Dinah their sister: and
they said unto them, We cannot do this
thing, to give our sister to one that is
uncircumcised; for Pthat 7acrc a reproach
15 unto us : but in this will we consent unto
you : If ye will be as we he, that every
16 male of you be circumcised; then will
we give our daughters unto you, and we
will take your daughters to us, and we
will dwell with you, and we will become
17 one people. But if ye will not hearken
unto us, to be circumcised; then will we
take our daughter, and we will be gone.
18 And their words pleased Hamor, and
19 Shechem Hamor's son. And the young
man deferred not to do the thing, be-
cause he had delight in Jacob's daughter:
and he 7oas imore honourable than all
20 the house of his father. And Hamor
and Shechem his son came unto the
gate of their city, and communed with
21 the men of their city, saying. These men
are peaceable with us ; therefore let them
dwell in the land, and ''trade therein ; for
the land, behold, // is large enough for
them; let us take their daughters to us
for wives, and let us give them our
22 daughters. Only herein will the men
consent unto us for to dwell with us, to
be one people, if every male among us

S/ia// not their cattle and their substance 23
and every beast of theirs /if ours? only
let us consent unto them, and they will
dwell with us. And unto Hamor and 24
unto Shechem his son hearkened all that
^went out of the gate of his city; and
ever)' male was circumcised, all that went
out of the gate of his city. And it came 25
to pass on the third day, when they were
sore, that two of the sons of Jacob, 'Si-
meon and Levi, "Dinah's brethren, took
each man his sword, and came upon the
city boldly, and slew all the males. And 26
they slew Hamor and Shechem his son
with the 'edge of the sword, and took
Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went
out. The sons of Jacob came upon the 27
slain, and spoiled the city, because they
had -''defiled their sister. They took 28
their sheep, and their o.xen, and their
asses, and that which 7cias in the city,
and that which rvas in the field, and all 29
their wealth, and all their y little ones,
and their wives took they captive, and
spoiled even all that was in the house.
And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, 30
Ye have ^troubled me ^to make me to
stink among the inhabitants of the land,
amongst ''the Canaanites and the Periz-
zites: and I /v/«if <=few in number, they
shall gather themselves together against
me, and slay me; and I shall be de-
stroyed, I and my house. And they 31
said, Should he deal with our sister as
with a harlot?
And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go
up to '^ Beth-el, and dwell there: and
make there an altar unto God, that ap-
peared unto thee "^when thou fleddest
from the face of Esau thy brother. Then 2
Jacob said unto his '^household, and to
all that 7cvn' with him. Put away ''the
strange gods that are among you, and
"^be clean, and change your garments:
and let us arise, and go up to Beth-el; 3
and I will make there an altar unto God,
fwho answered me in the day of my dis-
tress, Sand was with me in the way which
I went. And they gave unto Jacob all 4
the strange gods which 7t>ere in their
hand, and a// their ''earrings which were
in their ears; and Jacob hid them under
'the oak which was by Shechem. And 5
they journeyed: and ''the ten-or of God
was upon the cities that were round
about them, and they did not pursue
after the sons of Jacob. So Jacob came 6
to 'Luz, which is in the land of Canaan,
that /j, Beth-el, he and all the people
7 that were with him. And he built there
an altar, and called the place 'El-beth-el:
because there God appeared unto him,
when he fled from the face of his brother.

and she was buried beneath Beth-el un-
der "an oak: and the name of it was
9 called "Allon-bachuth. And God ap-
peared unto Jacob again, when he came
out of Padan-aram, and blessed him.
10 And God said unto him. Thy name is
Jacob: °thy name shall not be called
any more Jacob, f'but Israel shall be thy
name : and he called his name Israel.
11 And God said unto him, 1I am God Al-
mighty: be 'fruitful and multiply; '^a na-
tion and a company of nations shall be
of thee, and kings .shall come out of thy
j2 loins; and the land 'which I gave Abra-
ham and Isaac, to thee I will give it,
and to thy seed after thee will I give the
island. And God "went up from him in
the place where he talked with him.
14 And Jacob "set up a pillar in the place
where he talked with him, ei'en a pillar
of stone: and he poured a '^drink offer-
ing thereon, and he poured oil thereon.
15 And Jacob called the name of the place
where God spake with him, y Beth-el.
16 And they journeyed from Beth-el; and
there was but 'a little way to come to
Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she
17 had hard labour. And it came to pass,
when she was in hard labour, that the
midwife said unto her. Fear not; ^thou
isshalt have this son also. And it came
to pass, as her soul was in departing
(for she died) that she called his name
'Ben-oni: but his father called him 'Ben-
igjamin. And ^Rachel died, and was bu-
ried in the way to ''Ephrath, which is
CO Beth-lehem. And Jacob set a pillar
upon her grave: that is '^the pillar of Ra-
21 chel's grave unto this day. And Israel
journeyed, and spread his tent beyond
22 ''the tower of Edar. And it came to pass,
when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reu-
ben went and "^lay with Bilhah his fa-
ther's concubine: and Israel heard it.
23 Now the sons of Jacob were twelve: the
sons of Leah; fReuben, Jacob's first-
born, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah,
24 and Issachar, and Zebulun: the sons of
25 Rachel ; Joseph, and Benjamin: and the
sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid ; Dan,
26 and Naphtali: and the sons of Zilpah,
Leah's handmaid ; (lad, and Asher: these
are the sons of Jacob, which were bom

to him ill Padan-aram. And Jacob came 27
unto Isaac his father unto sMamre, unto
the i^city of Arbah, which is Hebron,
where Abraham and 'Isaac sojourned.
And the days of Isaac were an hundred 28
and fourscore years. And Isaac gave 29
up the ghost, and died, and ''was gather-
ed unto his people, bfiitg old and full of
days: and 'his sons Esau and Jacob
buried him.
Now these arc the generations of Esau,
^who is Edom. ''Esau took his wives of 2
the daughters of Canaan ; Adah the
daughter of Elon the Hittite, and '=Aho-
libamah the daughter of Anah the daugh-
ter' of Zibeon the Hivite; and ''Bashe- 3
math Ishmael's daughter, sister of Neba-
joth. And Adah bare to Esau "^Eliphaz; 4
and Bashemath bare Reuel; and Aholi- 5
bamah bare Jeush, and Jaalam, and Ko-
rah: these are the sons of Esau, which
were born unto him in the land of Ca-
naan. And Esau took his wives, and 6
his sons, and his daughters, and all the
'persons of his house, and his cattle, and
all his beasts, and all his substance, which
he had got in the land of Canaan ; and
went into the country from the face of
his brother Jacob. ""For their riches were 7
more than that they might dwell toge-
ther; and the land s wherein they were
strangers could not bear them because
of their cattle. Thus dwelt Esau in a
''mount Seir: 'Esau is Edom.
And these arc the generations of Esau 9
the father of 'the Edomites in mount
Seir : these are the names of Esau's sons ; lo
''Eliphaz the son of 'Adah the wife of
Esau, Reuel the son of Bashemath the
wife of Esau. And the sons of P'Jiphazn
were Teman, Omar, 'Zepho, and Gatam,
and Kenaz. And Timna was concubine 12
to Eliphaz Esau's son; and she bare to
Eliphaz "'Amalek: these 7iicrc the sons
of Adah Esau's wife. And these arc the 13
sons of Reuel ; Nahath, and Zerah, Sham-
mah, and Mizzah: these were the sons
of Bashemath Esau's wife. And these 14
were the sons of "Aholibamah, the daugh-
ter of Anah, daughter of Zibeon, Esau's
wife: and she bare to Esau Jeush,
and Jaalam, and Korah. These werci^
dukes of the sons of Esau: ''the sons of
Eliphaz the firstborn son of Esau ; duke
Teman, duke Omar, duke Zepho, duke
Kenaz, duke Korah, duke Gatam, and 16
duke Amalek: these are the dukes t/iai
came of Eliphaz in the land of Edom;
these zvere the sons of Adah. And these 17
are the sons of p Reuel Esau's son; duke
Nahath, duke Zerah, duke Shammah,
duke Mizzah: these are the dukes that
came of Reuel in the land of Edom ; these
are the sons of Bashemath Esau's wife.
18 And these o'/r the sons of 1 Aholibamah
Esau's wife; duke Jeush, duke Jaalam,
duke Korah: these were the dukes t/iat
came of Aholibamah the daughter of A-
19 nah, Esau's wife. These are the sons of
Esau, ""who is Edom, and these are their
dukes.
20 ''These are the sons of Seir ' the Horite,
who inhabited the land ; Lotan, and Sho-
21 bal, and Zibeon, and Anah, and Dishon,
and Ezer, and Dishan: these are the
dukes of the Horites, the children of Seir
22 in the land of Edom. And the children
of Lotan were Hori and ' Hemam ; and
23 Lotan's sister was "Timna. And the
children of Shobal 7i'ere these; 'Alvan,
and Manahath, and Ebal, "Shepho, and
24 Onam. And these are the children of
Zibeon ; both Aiah, and Anah : this was
that Anah that found the mules in the
wilderness, as he fed the asses of Zibeon
25 his father. And the children of Anah
were these; Dishon, and "Aholibamah
26 the daughter of Anah. And these are
the children of Dishon; 'Hemdan, and
27 Eshban, and Ithran, and Cheran. The
children of Ezer are these; Bilhan, and
23Zaavan, and 'Akan. The children of
29 Dishan are these; Uz, and Aran. These
^n" the dukes that came of the Horites;
"duke Lotan, duke Shobal, duke Zibeon,
30 duke Anah, duke Dishon, duke Ezer,
duke Dishan: these are the dukes that
came of Hori, among their dukes in the
land of Seir.
31 And i'these are the kings that reigned
in the land of Edom, before there reigned
any king over the children of Israel.
32 And Bela the son of Beor reigned in
Edom: and the name of his city was
33Dinhabah. And Bela died, and Jobab
the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in
34 his stead. And Jobab died, and Hu-
sham of the land of Temani reigned in
35 his stead. And Husham died, and Ha-
dad the son of Bedad, who smote Mi-
dian in the field of Moab, reigned in his
stead: and the name of his city 7uas
36Avith. And Hadad died, and Samlah
37 of Masrekah reigned in his stead. And

the son of Achbor died, and ^Hadar
reigned in his stead: and the name of

7i'as Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred,
the daughter of Mezahab. And these 40
are the names of •'the dukes t/iat fame of
Esau, according to their famihes, after
their places, by their names ; duke Tim-
nah, duke 'Alvah, duke Jetheth, duke 41

tations in the land of their possession:
he is Esau the father of 'the Edomites.
And Jacob dwelt in the land 'wherein
his father was a stranger, in the land of
Canaan. These are •''the generations of 2
Jacob. Joseph, ieh/g- ''seventeen years
old, was feeding the flock with his bre-
thren; and the lad 7aas with the sons of
Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his
father's wives: and Joseph brought unto
his father '^ their evil report. Now Israel 3
loved Joseph more than all his children,
because he 7C'as ''the son of his old age:
and he made him a coat of many "co-
lours. And when his brethren saw that 4
their father loved him more than all his
brethren, they hated him, and could not
speak peaceably unto him. And Joseph 5
dreamed a dream, and he told it his
brethren: and they hated him yet the
more. And he said unto them. Hear, 6
I pray you, this dream which I have
dreamed: for, ■= behold, we were binding 7
sheaves in the field, and lo, my sheaf
arose, and also stood upright; and be-
hold, your sheaves stood round about,
and ''made obeisance to my sheaf And 8
his brethren said to him, Shalt thou in-
deed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed
have dominion over us? And they hated
him yet the more for his dreams, and for
his words. And he dreamed yet another 9
dream, and told it his brethren, and said.
Behold, I have dreamed a dream more;
and behold, the sun and the moon and
the eleven stars made obeisance to me.
And he told // to his father, and to his 10
brethren: and his father rebuked him,
and said unto him. What is this dream
that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and sdiy
mother and thy brethren indeed come to
bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?
And ''his brethren envied him; but hisn
father 'observed the saying.
And his brethren went to feed their 12
father's flock in '^Shecheni. And Israel 13
said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren
feed the flock in Shechem? come, and I
will .send thee unto them. And he said
14 to him. Here am I. And he said to
him. Go, I pray thee, 'see whether it be
well with thy brethren, and well with the
flocks; and bring me word again. So he
sent him out of the vale of 'Hebron, and
15 he came to Shechem. And a certain
man found him, and behold, he was
wandering in the field : and the man
asked him, saying. What seekest thou?
16 And he said, I seek my brethren : tell
me, I pray thee, where they feed their
\Tflocks. And the man said, They are de-
parted hence; for I heard them say. Let
us go to Dothan. And Joseph went
after his brethren, and found them in
18 "'Dothan. And when they saw him afar
off, even before he came near unto them,
they conspired against him to slay him.
19 And they said one to another. Behold,
20 this 'dreamer cometh. Come now there-
fore, and let us slay him, and cast him
into some pit, and we will say, Sotiie
evil beast hath devoured him: and we
shall see what will become of his dreams.
21 And "Reuben heard it, and he delivered
him out of their hands ; and said. Let us
22 not kill him. And Reuben said unto
them. Shed no blood, /'/// cast him into
this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay
no hand upon him, °that he might rid
him out of their hands, to deliver him to
23 his father again. And it came to pass,
when Joseph was come unto his bre-
thren, that they stript Joseph out of his
coat, his coat of many "colours that was
24 on him; and they took him, and cast
him into a pit: and the pit was empty,
25 there 7C'as no water in it. And they sat
down to eat bread : and they lift up
their eyes and looked, and behold, a
company of Pishmeelites came from Gi-
lead with their camels bearing ispicery
and "^balm and myrrh, going to carry //
26 down to Egypt. And Judah said unto
his brethren. What profit is it if we slay
our brother, and ^conceal his blood?
27 Come, and let us sell him to the Ishme-
elites, and 'let not our hand be upon
him; for he is our brother and "our flesh.
28 And his brethren 'were content. Then
there passed by "Midianites merchant-
men; and they drew and lift up Joseph
out of the pit, -^and sold Joseph to the
Ishmeelites for twenty y pieces of silver:
and they brought Joseph into Egypt.
29 And Reuben returned unto the pit; and

behold, Joseph urns not in the pit; and
he ^rent his clothes. And he returned 30
unto his brethren, and said. The child
^is not; and I, whither shall I go? And 31
they took ''Joseph's coat, and killed a
kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in
the blood; and they sent the coat of 32
many colours, and they brought // to
their father; and said. This have we
found: "^know now whether it be thy
son's coat or no. And he knew it, and 33
said, // is my son's coat; an <*evil beast
hath devoured him; Joseph is without
doubt rent in pieces. And Jacob ^rent34
his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his
loins, and mourned for his son many
days. And all his sons and all his 35
daughters 'rose up to comfort him; but
he refused to be comforted ; and he said.
For si will go down into the grave unto
my son mourning. Thus his father wept
for him. And ''the Medanites sold him 36
into Egypt unto Potiphar, an 'officer of
Pharaoh's, and "captain of the guard.

And it came to pass at that time, that
Judah went down from his brethren, and
^turned in to a certain ''Adullamite,
whose name 7i'as Hirah. And Judah a
saw there a daughter of a certain Cana-
anite, whose name was "^Shuah; and he
took her, and went in unto her. And 3
she conceived, and bare a son; and he
called his name Er. And she conceived 4
again, and bare a son; and she rolled
his name ''Onan. And she yet again 5
conceived, and bare a son; and called
his name Shelah : and he was at *= Chezib,
when she bare him. And Judah ftook 6
a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name
7L<as Tamar. And Er, Judah's firstborn, 7
w-as wicked in the sight of the Lord;
gand the Lord slew him. And Judah a
said unto Onan, Go in unto ''thy bro-
ther's wife, and marry her, and raise up
seed to thy brother. And Onan knew 9
that the seed should not be his; and it
came to pass, when he went in unto his
brother's wife, that he spilled // on the
ground, lest that he should give seed to
his brother. And the thing which he 10
did 'displeased the Lord: wherefore he
slew him also. Then said Judah to Ta-n
mar his daughter in law, ' Remain a wi-
dow at thy father's house, till Shelah my
son be grown: for he said. Lest perad-
venture he die also, as his brethren did.
And Tamar went and dwelt ^in her fa-
i2ther's house. And 'in process of time
the daughter of Shuah Judah's wife died;
and Judah 'was comforted, and went up
unto his sheepshearers to ""Timnath, he
and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.
13 And it was told Tamar, saying. Behold
thy father in law goeth up to ""Timnath
14 to shear his sheep. And she put her
widow's gannents off from her, and co-
vered her with a vail, and ^\■ral3ped her-
self, and sat in 'an open place, which is
by the way to ""Timnath ; for she saw that
Shelali was grown, and she was not given
15 unto him to wife. When Judah saw her,
he thought her to be a harlot; because
16 she had co\'ered her face. And he
"turned unto her by the way, and said.
Go to, I pray thee, let me come in unto
thee ; (for he knew not that she 'luas his
daughter in law:) and she said. What
wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come
17 in unto me? And he said, I will send
thee 'a kid from the flock. And she said.
Wilt thou give me a. pledge, till thou send
18/^? And he said. What pledge shall I
give thee? And she said, °Thy signet,
and thy bracelets, and thy staff that is
in thine hand. And he gave it her, and
came in unto her, and she conceived by
19 him. And she arose, and went away,
and laid by Pher vail from her, and put
20 on the garments of her widowhood. And
Judah sent the kid by the hand of his
friend the Adullamite, to receive his
pledge from the woman's hand: but he
21 found her not. Then he asked the men
of that place, saying, \\'here is the har-
lot, that loas ''openly by the way side?
And they said. There was no harlot in
22 this //(TiTC. And he returned to Judah,
and said, I cannot find her; and also the
men of the place said, that there was no
23 harlot in this plaee. And Judah said.
Let her take it to her, lest we ' be shamed :
behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast

I gave her not to Shelah my son. And
he knew her again no more. And it 27
came to pass in the time of her travail,
that, behold, "twins 7C'e/r in her womb.
And it came to pass, when she travailed, 28
that f/ii' one put out his hand : and the
midwife took and bound upon his hand
a "scarlet thread, saying. This came out
first. And it came to ]»ss, as he drew 29
back his hand, that, behold, his brother
came out: and she said, 'How hast thou
broken forth? this breach be upon thee :
therefore his name was called 'Pharez.
And afterward came out his brother, that 30
had the scarlet thread upon his hand :
and his name was called yZarah.
And Joseph was brought down to E-
gypt; and ='Potiphar, an officer of Pha-
raoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian,
bought him of the hand of the ''Ishme-
elites, which had brought him down
thither. And '^the Lord was with Jo- 2
seph, and he was a prosperous man; and
he was in the house of his master the
Eg)rptian. And his master saw that the 3
Lord ivas with him, and that the Lord
''made all that he did to prosper in his
hand. And Joseph ^ found grace in his 4
sight, and he served him: and he made
him overseer over his house, and all that
he had he put into his hand. And it 5
came to pass from the time that he had
made him overseer in his house, and
over all that he had, that the Lord bless-
ed the Egyptian's house ^for Joseph's
sake ; and the blessing of the Lord was
upon all that he had in the house, and
in the field. And he left all that he had 6
in Joseph's hand ; and he knew not ought
he had, save the bread which he did eat.
And Joseph Swas a goodly person, and
well favoured. And it came to pass after ^
these things, that his master's wife cast
her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie
with me. But he refused, and said unto 8
his master's wife. Behold, my master
wotteth not what is with me in the house,
and *'he hath committed all that he hath
to my hand ; there is none greater in this 9
house than I; neither hath he 'kept back
any thing from me but thee, becau.se
thou art his wife: how then can I do
this great wickedness, and ''sin against
God? And it came to pass, as she spake 10
to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened
not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with
her. And it came to pass about thisn
time, that Joseph went into the house to
do his business ; and there was none of
12 the men of the house there within. And
she caught him by his garment, saying,
Lie with me : and he left his garment in
her hand, and fled, and got him out.
13 And it came to pass, when she saw that
he had left his gannent in her hand, and
14 was fled forth, that she called unto the
men of her house, and spake unto them,
saying, .See, he hath brought in a He-
brew unto us to mock us; he came in
unto me to lie with me, and I cried with
15a Moud voice: and it came to pass, when
he heard that I lifted up my voice and
cried, that he left his garment with me,
16 and fled, and got him out. And she laid
up his garment by her, until his lord
17 came home. And she spake unto him
according to these words, saying. The
Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought
unto us, came in unto me to mock me:
18 and it came to pass, as I lift up my
voice and cried, that he left his garment
19 with me, and fled out. And it came to
pass, when his master heard the words
of his wife, which she spake unto him,
saying. After this manner did thy servant
:oto me; that his wrath was kindled. And
Joseph's master took him, and 'put him
into the "'prison, a place where the
king's prisoners were bound : and he was
21 there in the ""prison. But "the Lord was
with Joseph, and 'shewed him mercy,
and "gave him favour in the sight of the
22 keeper of the prison. And the keeper
of the prison Pcommitted to Joseph's
hand all the prisoners that were in the
prison; and whatsoever they did there,
23 he was the doer of it. The keeper of the
prison looked not to any thing that was
under his hand; because ithe Lord was
with him, and that which he did, the
Lord made it to prosper.
And it came to pass after these things,
that the =" butler of the king of Egypt and
his baker had offended their lord the
2 king of Egypt. And Pharaoh was wroth
against two of his ''officers, against the
chief of the butlers, and against the chief
3 of the bakers. "=And he put them in
ward in the house of the ''captain of the
guard, into the prison, the place where
4 Joseph was bound. And the captain of
the guard •= charged Joseph with them,
and he .served them : and they continued
5 a season in ward. And they dreamed a
dream both of them, each man his dream
in one night, each man according to the
interpretation of his dream, the butler
and the baker of the king of Egypt,

which were bound in the prison. And 6
Joseph came in unto them in the morn-
ing, and looked upon them, and behold,
they were sad. And he asked Pharaoh's 7
officers that raere with him in the ward of
his lord's house, saying, Wherefore 'look
ye so sadly to day? And they said unto 8
him, fWe have dreamed a dream, and
i/iere is no interpreter of it. And Joseph
said unto them, ^Do not interpretations
belong io God? tell me them, I pray you.
And the chief butler told his dream to 9
Joseph, and said to him. In my dream,
behold, a vine teas before me ; and in 10
the vine ivcre three branches : and it was
as though it budded, and her blos-
soms shot forth ; and the clusters thereof
brought forth ripe grapes: and Pharaoh's n
cup was in my hand: and I took the
grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh's
cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh's
hand. And Joseph said unto him, '■This 12
is the interpretation of it: The three
branches "^are three days : yet within 13
three days shall Pharaoh '''lift up thine
head, and restore thee unto thy place:
and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into
his hand, after the former manner when
thou wast his butler. But 'think on me 14
when it shall be well with thee, and
'shew kindness, I pray thee, unto me,
and make mention of me unto Pharaoh,
and bring me out of this house : for in- 15
deed I was stolen away out of the land
of the Hebrews: ""and here al.so have I
done nothing that they should put me
into the dungeon. When the chief baker 16
saw that the interpretation was good, he
said unto Joseph, I also was in my dream,
and behold, I had \\\xte. 'white baskets
on my head : and in the uppermost bas- 17
ket there 7C'as of all manner of 'bake-
nieats for Pharaoh; and the birds did
eat them out of the basket upon my
head. And Joseph answered and said, 18
"This is the interpretation thereof: The
three baskets are three days: °yet within 19
three days shall Pharaoh " lift up thy head
from off thee, and shall hang thee on a
tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh
from off thee. And it came to pass the 20
third day, which was Pharaoh's p birth-
day, that he made a feast unto all his
servants: and he 1' lifted up the head of
the chief butler and of the chief baker
among his ser\'ants. And he ''restored 21
the chief butler unto his butlership a-
gain; and *he gave the cup into Pha-
raoh's hand: but he 'hanged the chief 22
baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them.
23 Yet did not the chief butler remember
Joseph, but forgat him.
And it came to pass at the end of •''two
full years, that Pharaoh dreamed : and be-
2 hold, he stood by the river. And behold,
there came up out of the river seven well
favoured kine and fatfleshed ; and they fed
3 in a '>meadow. And behold, seven other
kine came up after them out of the river,
ill favoured and leanfleshed; and stood
by the other kine upon the brink of the
4 river. And the ill favoured and lean-
fleshed kine did eat up the seven well
favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh a-
5 woke. And he slept and dreamed the
second time : and behold, seven ears of
corn came up upon one stalk, 'rank and
6 good. And behold, seven thin ears and
blasted with the east wind sprang up
7 after them. And the seven thin ears de-
voured the seven rank and full ears. And
Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a
8 dream. And it came to pass in the
morning "^that his spirit was troubled;
and he sent and called for all "^ the ma-
gicians of Egypt, and all the wise men
thereof: and Pharaoh told them his
dream; but there was none that could
9 interpret them unto Pharaoh. Then
spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh,
saying, I do remember my faults this
today: Pharaoh was '^ wroth with his ser-
vants, and put me in ward in the ""cap-
tain of the guard's house, both me and
II the chief baker : and swe dreamed a
dream in one night, I and he ; we dream-
ed each man according to the interpre-
i2tation of his dream. And there was
there with us a young man, a Hebrew,
servant to the captain of the guard ; and
we told him, and he •> interpreted to us
our dreams; to each man according to
.3 his dream he did interpret. And it came
to pass, 'as he interpreted to us, so it
was; me he restored unto mine office,
and him he hanged.
14 ^Then Pharaoh sent and called Jo-
seph, and they "brought him hastily
■"out of the dungeon: and he shaved
himself, and changed his raiment, and
■5 came in unto Pharaoh. And Pharaoh
said unto Joseph, I have s dreamed a
dream, and there is none that can inter-
pret it: "and I have heard say of thee,
that "thou canst understand a dream to
16 interpret it. And Joseph answered Pha-
raoh, saying, °It is not in me: PGod
shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.

And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, iln my 17
dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of
the river: and behold, there came up 18
out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed
and well favoured; and they fed in a
meadow : and behold, seven other kine 19
came up after them, poor and very ill
favoured and leanfleshed, such as I never
saw in all the land of Egypt for badness:
and the lean and the ill favoured kine 20
did eat up the first seven fat kine : and 21
when they had 'eaten them up, it could
not be known that they had 'eaten them;
but they luere still ill favoured, as at the
beginning. So I awoke. And I saw in 22
my dream, and behold, seven ears came
up in one stalk, full and good: and be 23
hold, seven ears, "withered, thin, attd
blasted with the east wind, sprung up
after them : and the thin ears devoured 24
the seven good ears: and 'I told this
unto the magicians; but there ivas x\o\\e^
that could declare // to me. And Joseph 25
said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh
is one : ^God hath shewed Pharaoh what
he is about to do. The seven good Yvatare 26
seven years; and the seven good ears are
seven years : the dream is one. And the 27
seven thin and ill favoured kine that came
up after them are seven years; and the
seven empty ears blasted with theeastwind
shall be 'seven years of famine. "This 28
is the thing which I have spoken unto
Pharaoh: "What God is about to do he
sheweth unto Pharaoh. Behold, there 29
come "seven years of great plenty through-
out all the land of Egypt : and there 30
shall y arise after them seven years of
famine; and all the plenty shall be for-
gotten in the land of Egypt; and the fa-
mine ^shall consume the land; and the 31
plenty shall not be known in the land
by reason of that famine following; for
it shall be very 'grievous. And for that 32
the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh
twice; it is because the "thing is "esta-
blished by God, and God will shortly
bring it to pass. Now therefore let Pha- 33
raoh look out a man discreet and wise,
and set him over the land of Egypt. Let 34
Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint
'officers over the land, and take up the
fifth part of the land of Egypt in the
seven plenteous years. And ''let them 35
gather all the food of those good years
that come, and lay up corn under the
hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food
in the cities. And that food shall be for 36
store to the land against the seven years
of famine, which shall be in the land of
Egypt; that the land 'perish not through
the famine.
37 And the thing was good in the eyes of
Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his ser-
38 vants. And Pharaoh said unto his ser-
vants. Can we find such a one as this is,
a man "^in whom the spirit of God is)
39 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Foras-
much as God hath shew-ed thee all this,
there is none so discreet and wise as
40 thou art: ''thou shalt be over my house,
and according unto thy word shall all
my people be 'ruled: only /// the throne
41 will I be greater than thou. And Pha-
raoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set
42 thee over all the land of Egypt. And
Pharaoh ^took off his ring from his hand,
and put it upon Joseph's hand, and far-
rayed him in vestures of "fine linen, Band
43 put a gold chain about his neck; and he
made him to ride in the second chariot
which he had; ''and they cried before
him, " * Bow the knee : and he made him
i^ ruler 'over all the land of Egypt. And
Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I ain Pha-
raoh, and without thee shall no man lift
up his hand or foot in all the land of
45 Egypt. And Pharaoh called Joseph's
name 'Zaphnath-paaneah; and he gave
him to wife Asenath the daughter of
Poti-pherah "priest of On. And Joseph
went out over all the land of Egypt.
46 An^l Joseph 7C'as thirty years old when
he ''stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt.
And Joseph went out from the presence
of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the
47 land of Egypt. And in the seven plen-
teous years the earth brought forth by
48handfuls. And he gathered up all the
food of the seven years, which were in
the land of Egypt, and laid up the food
in the cities : the food of the field, which
was round about every city, laid he up
49 in the same. And Joseph gathered corn
'as the sand of the sea, very much, until
he left numbering; for it 7C'as without
50 number. "'And unto Joseph were born
two sons before the years of famine came,
which Asenath the daughter of Poti-phe-
51 rah "priest of On bare unto him. And
Joseph called the name of the firstborn
' Manasseh : For God, "said he, hath made
me forget all my toil, and all my father's
52 house. And the name of the second
called he "Ephraim : For God hath caused
me to be fruitful in the land of my af-
fliction.

that was in the land of Eg}'pt, were
ended. "And the seven years of dearth 54
began to come, Paccording as Joseph
had said: and the dearth was in all
lands; but in all the land of Egypt there
was bread. And when all the land of 55
Egypt was famished, the people cried to
Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said
unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Joseph;
what he saith to you, do. And the 56
famine was over all the face of the
earth: and Joseph opened 'all the store-
houses, and 'Isold unto the Egyptians;
and the famine waxed sore in the land
of Egypt. And all countries came into 57
Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn; be-
cause that the famine was so sore ''in all
lands.
Now when ^Jacob saw that there was
corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons.
Why do ye look one upon another?
And he said, Behold, I have heard that 2
there is corn in Egypt: get you down
thither, and buy for us from thence ; that
we may ''live, and not die. And Jo- 3
seph's ten brethren went down to buy
corn in Egypt. But Benjamin, '^Joseph's 4
brother, Jacob sent not with his bre-
thren; for he said, "^Lest peradventure
mischief befall him. And the sons of 5
Israel came to buy corn among those
that came: for the famine was in the
land of Canaan. And Joseph was the 6
governor 'over the land, and he it was
that sold to all the people of the land :
and Joseph's Isrethren came, and ^bowed
down themselves before him 7i<ith their
faces to the earth. And Joseph saw his 7
brethren, and he knew them, but made
himself strange unto them, and spake
•roughly unto them; and he said unto
them. Whence come ye? And they said.
From the land of Canaan to buy food.
And Joseph knew his brethren, but they 8
knew not him. And Joseph sremem- 9
bered the dreams which he dreamed of
them, and said unto them, Ye <7;'(.' '^ spies ;

my lord, but to buy food are thy ser-
vants come. We are all one man's sons; n

spies. And he said unto them. Nay, 12
but to see the nakedness of the land you
are come. And they said, Thy servants 13
are twelve brethren, the sons of one man
in the land of Canaan; and behold, the
youngest is this day with our father, and
one Us not. And Joseph said unto 14
them. That is it that I spake unto you,

this day with our father in the land of
Canaan. And the man, the lord of the 33
country, said unto us, "Hereby shall I
know that ye are true ;;/;■«; leave one of
your brethren here with me, and take
'■food for the famine of your households,
and be gone : and bring your youngest 34
brother unto me : then shall I know that
ye are no spies, but that ye are true
men: so will I deliver you your brother,
and ye shall vtraffick in the land. And 35
it came to pass as they emptied their
sacks, that behold, every man's bundle
of money 7cias in his sack: and when
both they and their father saw the bun-
dles of money, they were afraid. And 36
Jacob their father said unto them, Me
have ye ^bereaved of my children: Jo-
seph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye
will take Benjamin a7aay: all these things
are against me. And Reuben spake un- 37
to his father, saying. Slay ^my two sons,
if I bring him not to thee: deliver him
into my hand, and I will bring him to
thee again. And he said, My son shall 38
not go down with you; for his •'brother
is dead, and he is left alone: if "^mischief
befall him by the way in the which ye
go, then shall ye '•bring down my gray
hairs with sorrow to the grave.
And the famine 7iias "sore in the land.
And it came to pass, when they had eaten 2
up the corn which they had brought out
of Egypt, their father said unto them,
Go again, buy us a little food. And 3
Judah spake unto him, saying. The man
'did solemnly protest unto us, saying,
Ye shall not see my face, except your
''brother l>e with you. If thou wilt send 4
our brother with us, we will go down
and buy thee food: but if thou wilt not 5
send /;////, we will not go down : for the
man said unto us, Ye shall not see my
face, except your brother be with you.
And Israel said. Wherefore dealt ye so 6
ill with me, as to tell the man whether
ye had yet a brother? And they said, 7
The man 'asked us straitly of our state,
and of our kindred, saying. Is your fa-
ther yet alive? have ye another bro-
ther? and we told him according to the
'tenor of these words: 'could we certain-
ly know that he would say. Bring your
brother down? And Judah said unto 8
Israel his father, Send the lad with me,
and we will arise and go; that we may
■^live, and not die, both we, and thou,
and also our little ones. I will be surety 9
for him ; of my hand shalt thou require
him: ''if I bring him not unto thee, and
set him before thee, then let me bear
10 the blame for ever: for except we had
lingered, surely now we had returned
II 'this second time. And their father Is-
rael said unto them, If it mtcst be so
now, do this; take of the best fruits in
the land in your vessels, and carrj'
down the man a present, a little =balm,
and a little honey, spices, and myrrh,
12 nuts, and almonds: and take double
money in your hand; and the money
fthat was brought again in the mouth
of your sacks, carry it again in your
hand ; peradventure it was an oversight :
13 take also your brother, and arise, go
14 again unto the man: and sGod Al-
mighty give you mercy before the man,
that he may send away your other bro-
ther, and Benjamin. 'If I be bereaved
of my children, I am bereaved.
15 And the men took that present, and
they took double money in their hand,
and Benjamin; and rose up, and went
down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph.
16 And when Joseph saw Benjamin with
them, he said to the '■ruler of his house,
Bring these men home, and 'slay, and
make ready; for these men shall 'dine
17 with me at noon. And the man did as
Joseph bade; and the man brought the
18 men into Joseph's house. And the men
were afraid, because they were brought
into Joseph's house; and they said, Be-
cause of the money that was returned in
our sacks at the first time are we brought
in; that he may 'seek occasion against
us, and fall upon us, and take us for
19 bondmen, and our asses. And they came
near to the steward of Joseph's house,
and they communed with him at the
20 door of the house, and said, O sir, "we
came indeed down at the first time to
21 buy food: and ''it came to pass, when
we came to the inn, that we opened our
sacks, and behold, every man's money
iLhis in the mouth of his sack, our money
in full weight: and we have brought it
22 again in our hand. And other money
have we brought down in our hands to
buy food: we cannot tell who put our
23 money in our sacks. And he said. Peace
be to you, fear not: your God, and the
God of your father, hath given you trea-
sure in your sacks: 'I had your money.
And he brought Simeon out unto them.
24 And the man brought the men into Jo-
seph's house, and 'gave them water, and
they washed their feet; and he gave their

asses provender. And they made ready 25
™the present against Joseph came at
noon: for they heard that they should
eat bread there. And when Joseph came 36
home, they brought him the present
which icas in their hand into the house,
and "bowed themselves to him to the
earth. And he asked them o{ their 'wel- 27
fare, and said, */f your father well, the
old man °of whom ye spake? Is he yet
alive? And they answered, Thy servant 28
our father is in good health, he is yet
alive. And they bowed down their heads,
and made obeisance. And he lift up 29
his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin,
Phis mother's son, and said. Is this your
younger brother, ''of whom ye spake un-
to me? And he said, God be gracious
unto thee, my son. And Joseph made 30
haste; for ""his bowels did yern upon his
brother: and he sought where to weep;
and he entered into his chamber, and
*wept there. And he washed his face, 31
and went out, and 'refrained himself,
and said, Set on bread. And they set 32
on for him by himself, and for them by
themselves, and for the Egyptians, which
did eat with him, by themselves : because
the Egyptians might not eat bread with
the Hebrews, for that is "an abomina-
tion unto the Egyptians. And they sat 33
before him, the firstborn according to his
birthright, and the youngest according
to his youth: and the men marvelled one
at another. And he took atid sent •''mess- 34
es unto them from before him : but Ben-
jamin's mess was vfive times so much as
any of theirs. And they drunk, and
'were merry with him.
And he commanded *the steward of
his house, saying. Fill the men's sacks
with food, as much as they can carry,
and put every man's money in his sack's
mouth. And put my cup, the silver cup, 2
in the sack's mouth of the youngest, and
his corn money. And he did according
to the word that Joseph had spoken.
As soon as the morning was light, the 3
men were sent away, they and their
asses. Anil when they were gone out of 4
the city, and not yet far off, Joseph said
unto his steward. Up, follow after the
men; and when thou dost overtake them,
say unto them. Wherefore have ye re-
warded evil for good? Is not this it in 5
which my lord drinketh, and whereby
indeed he "divineth? ye have done evil
in so doing. And he overtook them, and 6
he spake unto them these same words.
7 And they said unto him. Wherefore saith
my lord these words? God forbid that
thy servants should do according to this
3 thing: behold, ''the money, which we
found in our sacks' mouths, we brought
again unto thee out of the land of Ca-
naan: how then should we steal out of
9 thy lord's house silver or gold? With
whomwd-zw of thy servants it be found,
''both let him die, and we also will be
lomy lord's bondmen. And he said, Now
also let it be according unto your words :
he with whom it is found shall be my
11 servant; and ye shall be blameless. Then
they speedily took down every man his
sack to the ground, and opened every
12 man his sack. And he searched, and
began at the eldest, and left at the
youngest : and the cup was found in Ben-
i3Jamin's sack. Then they "^rent their
clothes, and laded every man his ass,
and returned to the city.
14 And Judah and his brethren came to
Joseph's house; for he icas yet there:
and they "^fell before him on the ground.
15 And Joseph said unto them. What deed
is this that ye have done? wot ye not
that such a man as I can certainly "di-
16 vine? And Judah said, What shall we
say unto my lord? what shall we speak?
or how shall we clear ourselves? God
hath found out the iniquity of thy ser-
vants: behold, "^we are my lord's ser-
vants, both we, and he also with whom
17 the cup is found. And he said, God for-
bid that I should do so: bid the man in
whose hand the cup is found, he shall be
my servant ; and as for you, get you up
18 in peace unto your father. Then Judah
came near unto him, and said, ^O my
lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak
a word in my lord's ears, and slet not
thine anger bum against thy servant : for
19 thou art even as Pharaoh. My lord asked
his servants, saying. Have ye a father, or
20 a brother? And we said unto my lord.
We have a father, an old man, and a
child of his old age, ''a little one; and his
brother is dead, and he alone is left of
his mother, and his father loveth him.
21 And thou saidst unto thy servants, ' Bnng
him down unto me, that I may set mine
22 eyes upon him. And we said unto my
lord. The lad cannot leave his father:
for j^he should leave his father, '^his fa-
■iithcr would die. And thou saidst unto
thy servants, Except your youngest bro-
ther come down with you, ye shall see
24 my face no more. And it came to pass

when we came up unto thy servant my
father, we told him the words of my lord.
And 'our father said, Go again, and buy 25
us a little food. And we said. We can- 26
not go down : if our youngest brother be
with us, then will we go down: for we
may not see the man's face, except our
youngest brother be with us. And thy 27
servant my father .said unto us. Ye know
that my wife bare me two so?is: and the 28
one went out from me, and I said,
■"Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw
him not since: and if ye "take this also 29
from me, and mischief befall him, ye
shall bring down my gray hairs with sor-
row to the grave. Now therefore when 30
I come to thy servant my father, and the
lad lie not with us; seeing that "his life is
bound up in the /mfs life ; it shall come 31
to pass, when he seeth that the lad is
not Pzoit/i us, that he will die: and thy
servants shall bring down the gray hairs
of thy servant our fother with sorrow
to the grave. For thy servant became 32
surety for the lad unto my father, saying,
"Jlf I bring him not unto thee, then I
shall bear the blame to my father for
ever. Now therefore, I pray thee, let 33
thy servant abide instead of the lad a
bondman to my lord; and let the lad go
up with his brethren. For how shall 1 34
go up to my father, and the lad be not
with me? lest peradventure I see the
evil that shall 'come on my father.
Then Joseph could not ^refrain him-
self before all them that stood by him;
and he cried, Cause every man to go out
from me. And there stood no man with
him, while Joseph made himself known
unto his brethren. And he *wept aloud: 2
and the Egyptians and the house of Pha-
raoh heard. And Joseph said unto his 3
brethren, •=! am Joseph; doth my flither
yet live? And his brethren could not
answer him; for they were "troubled at
his presence. And Joseph said unto his 4
brethren. Come near to me, I pray you.
And they came near. And he said, I
am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold
into Egypt. Now therefore be not griev- 5
ed, 'nor angry with yourselves, that ye
sold me hither: "^for God did send me
before you to preserve life. For these 6
two years hat/i the fomine been in the
land : and yet there are five years, in the
which there shall neither be '^ earing nor
harvest. And God sent me before you ;
'to preserve you a posterity in the earth,
and to save your lives by a great deliver-
8 ance. So now // was not you that sent
me hither, but God: and he hath made
me a 'father to Pharaoh, and lord of all
his house, and a ■= ruler throughout all the
9 land of Egypt. Haste you, and go up to
my father, and say unto him. Thus saith
thy son Joseph, God hath made me lord
of all Egypt: come down unto me, tarry
10 not: and fthou shalt dwell in the land
of Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto
me, thou, and thy children, and thy chil-
dren's children, and thy flocks, and thy
11 herds, and all that thou hast: and there
will I nourish thee ; for yet there are five
years of famine; lest thou, and thy house-
hold, and all that thou hast, scome to
12 poverty. And behold, your eyes see,
and the eyes of my brother Benjamin,
that // is my mouth that speaketh unto
13 you. And you shall tell my father of all
my glory in Egypt, and of all that you
have seen; and ye shall haste and ''bring
14 down my father hither. And he fell
upon his brother Benjamin's neck, and
wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck.
15 Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and
wept upon them : and after that his bre-
thren talked with him.
16 And the fame thereof was heard in
Pharaoh's house, saying, Joseph's bre-
thren are come: and it 'pleased Pharaoh
17 well, and his servants. And Pharaoh
said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren.
This do ye; lade your beasts, and go,
18 get you unto the land of Canaan; and
take your father and your households,
and come unto me: and I will give you
the good of the land of Egypt, and ye
19 shall eat ' the fat of the land. Now thou
art commanded, this do ye; take you
wagons out of the land of Egypt for
your little ones, and for your wives, and
2o bring your father, and come. Also 're-
gard not your stuff; for the good of all
21 the land of Egypt is yours. And the
children of Israel did so: and Joseph
gave them wagons, according to the 'com-
mandment of Pharaoh, and gave them
22 provision for the way. To all of them he
gave each man ''changes of raiment; but
to Benjamin he gave three hundred //«w
of silver, and 'five changes of raiment.
23 And to his father he sent after this man-
ner; ten asses 'laden with the good
things of Egypt, and ten she asses 'laden
with corn and bread and "'meat for his
24 father by the way. So he sent his bre-
thren away, and they departed : and he
said unto them, See that ye "fall not out

Egypt, and came into the land of Cana-
an unto Jacob their father, and told 26
him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he
is governor over all the land of Egypt.
And ^Jacob's heart fainted, for he be-
lieved them not. And they told him all 27
the words of Joseph, which he had said
unto them : and when he saw "the wagons
which Joseph had sent to carry him, the
spirit of Jacob their father revived : and 2s
Israel said, // is enough; Joseph my son
is yet alive : I will go and see him before
I die.
And Israel took his journey with all
that he had, and came to ^Bccr-sheba,
and offered sacrifices ''unto the God of
his father Isaac. And God spake unto 2
Israel "=in the visions of the night, and
said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said. Here
am I. And he said, I am God, ''the 3

into Egypt; for I will there "^make of
thee a great nation. I will go down with 4
thee into Egypt; and I will also .surely
fbring thee up again: and sjoseph shall

raoh, and said. My father and my bre-
thren, and their flocks, and their herds,
and all that they have, are come out of

days of the years of my life been, and
■"have not attained unto the days of the
years of the life of my fathers in the days
of their pilgrimage. And Jacob "bless- lo
ed Pharaoh, and went out from before
Pharaoh. And Joseph placed his father u
and his brethren, and gave them a pos-
session in the land of Egypt, in the best
of the land, in the land of "Rameses,
Pas Pharaoh had commanded. And Jo- 12
seph 1 nourished his father, and his bre-
thren, and all his father's household,
with bread, "according to their families.
And there was no bread in all the 13
land; for the famine zaas very sore, so
that the land of Egypt and all the land
of Canaan fainted by reason of the fa-
mine. ''And Joseph gathered up all the 14
money that was found in the land of
Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for
the corn which they bought: and Joseph
brought the money into Pharaoh's house.
15 And when money failed in the land of
Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all
the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and
said, Give us bread: for ^why should we '""■ '9-
die in thy presence? for the money fail-
ibCth. And Joseph said, Give your cattle;
and I will give you for your cattle, if
17 money fail. And they brought their
cattle unto Joseph: and Joseph gave
them bread in exchange for horses, and
for the flocks, and for the cattle of the
hertls, and for the asses: and he 'fed \]^f^''"'
them with bread for all their cattle for isai. 40. n
18 that year. When that year was ended, C^"-)-
they came unto him the second year,
and said unto him. We will not hide it
from my lord, how that our money is
spent ; my lord also had our herds of
cattle; there is not ought left in the
sight of my lord, but our bodies, and
19 our lands : wherefore shall we die before
thine eyes, both we and our land? buy
us and our land for bread, and we and
our land will be servants unto Pharaoh :
and give i/s seed, that we may live, and
not die, that the land be not desolate.
0 And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt
for Pharaoh ; for the Egyptians sold every
man his field, because the famine pre-
vailed over them: so the land became
1 Pharaoh's. And as for the people, he
removed them to cities from one end of
the borders of Egypt even to the other
!2end thereof 'Only the land of the 'So Ezra 7.
'priests bought he not; for the priests 10,, princes.
had a portion assigned them of Pharaoh, See ch. 41.
and did eat their portion which Pharaoh
gave them : wherefore they sold not their
=3 lands. Then Joseph said unto the peo-
ple. Behold, I have bought you this day
and your land for Pharaoh: lo, here is
seed for you, and ye shall sow the land.
24 And it shall come to pass in the in-
crease, that you shall give the fifth part
unto Pharaoh, and four parts shall be
your own, for seed of the field, and for
your food, and for them of your house-
holds, and for food for your little ones.
25 And they said. Thou hast saved our
lives: "let us find grace in the sight of seTch^''
my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's ser- 15.
26vants. And Joseph made it a law over
the land of Egypt unto this day, that
Pharaoh should have the fifth part; ex-
cept the land of the "priests only, which i^ Or, princes.

'^in the country of Goshen; and they had
possession therein, and ygrew, and mul-
tiplied exceedingly. And Jacob lived in 28
the land of Egypt seventeen years: so
'the whole age of Jacob was an hundred
forty and seven years. And the time 29
^drew nigh that Israel must die: and he
called his son Joseph, and said unto
him. If now I have found grace in thy
sight, ^put, I pray thee, thy hand under
my thigh, and ''deal kindly and truly
with me; '^bury me not, I pray thee, in
Egypt: but ''I will lie with my fathers, 30
and thou shall carry me out of Egypt,
and "^bury me in their buryingplace. And
he said, I will do as thou hast said.
And he said, fSwear unto me. And he 3"
sware unto him. And s Israel bowed
himself upon the bed's head.
And it came to pass after these things,
that one told Jo.seph, Behold, thy father is
sick: and he took with him his two sons,
Manasseh and Ephraim. And one told s
Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph
cometh unto thee: and Israel strength-
ened himself, and sat upon the bed.
And Jacob said unto Joseph, ='God Ai- 3
mighty appeared unto me at ''Luz in
the land of Canaan, and blessed me,
and said unto me. Behold, I will make 4
thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I
will make of thee a multitude of people;
and will give this land to thy seed after
thee "^for an everlasting possession. And 5
now thy ''two sons, Ephraim and Ma-
nasseh, which were born unto thee in
the land of Egypt before I came unto
thee into Egypt, ^arc mine; as Reuben
and Simeon, they shall be mine. And f>
thy issue, which thou begettest after
them, shall be thine, and shall be called
after the name of their brethren in their
inheritance. And as for me, when I 7
came from Padan, fRachel died by me
in the land of Canaan in the way, when
yet there 7vas shut a little way to come
unto Ephrath : and I buried her there in
the way of Ephrath ; the same is Beth-
lehem. And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, 8
and said. Who are these? And Joseph 9
said unto his father, '•They are my sons,
whom God hath given me in this p'acc.
And he said. Bring them, I pray thee,
unto me, and ' I will bless them. Now 10
•^the eyes of Israel were 'dim for age, so
that he could not see. And he brought
them near unto him; and 'he kissed
them, and embraced them. And Israel n
said unto Joseph, I had not thought to
see thy face: and lo, God hath shewed
12 me also thy seed. And Joseph brought
them out ™from between his knees, and
he bowed himself with his face to the
13 earth. And Joseph took them both,
Ephraim m his right hand toward Is-
rael's left hand, and Manasseh in his
left hand towards Israel's right hand, and
14 brought them near unto him. And Is-
rael stretched out his right hand, and
laid it upon Ephraim's head, who was
the younger, and his left hand upon
Manasseh's head, "guiding his hands wit-
tingly; for Manasseh ivas the firstborn.
15 And he blessed Joseph, and said, God,
"before whom my fathers Abraham and
Isaac did walk, the God which fed me
16 all my life long unto this day, Pthe
Angel which <iredeemed me from all
e\'il, bless the lads; and let ■'my name
be named on them, and the name of
my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let
them 'grow into a multitude in the midst
17 of the earth. And when Joseph saw
that his father laid his right hand upon
the head of Ephraim, it 'displeased him :
and he held up his father's hand, to re-
move it from Ephraim's head unto Ma-
is nasseh's head. And Joseph .said unto
his father, Not so, my father: for this is
the firstborn ; put thy right hand upon
19 his head. And his father refused, and
said, '^I know it, my son, I know //.■ he
also shall become a people, and he also
shall be great: but truly 'his younger
brother shall be greater than he, and
his seed shall become a 'multitude of
20 nations. And he blessed them that day,
saying, "In thee shall Israel bless, say-
ing, God make thee as Ephraim and as
Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before
21 Manasseh. And Israel said unto Jo-
seph, Behold, I die: but "God shall be
with you, and bring you again unto the
22 land of your fathers. Moreover I have
given to >'thee one portion above thy
brethren, which I took out of the hand
of the .\morite with my sword and with
my bow.
^And Jacob called unto his sons, and
said, (jather yourselves together, that I
may tell you that which shall befall you
''in the last days.
2 Gather yourselves together, and hear,
ye sons of Jacob;
And hearken unto Israel your father.

ried Leah. The purchase of the field 32
and of the cave that is therein 7i'as from
the children of Heth. And when Jacob 33
had made an end of commanding his
sons, he gathered up his feet into the
bed, and yielded up the ghost, and ''was
gathered unto his people.
And Joseph ='fell upon his father's
face, and wept upon him, and kissed
him. And Joseph commanded his ser- 2
vants the physicians to •'embalm his fa-
ther: and the physicians embalmed Is-
rael. And forty days were fulfilled for 3
him; for so are fulfilled the days of those
which are embalmed: and the Egyptians
•mourned for him "= threescore and ten
days. And when the days of his mourn- 4
ing were past, Joseph spake unto the
house of Pharaoh, saying, '^If now I have
found grace in your eyes, speak, I pray
you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying. My 5
father made me swear, saying, Lo, I die :
in my grave 'which I have digged for
me in the land of Canaan, there shalt
thou bury me. Now therefore let me go
up, I pray thee, and burj- my father, and
I will come again. And Pharaoh said, 6
Go up, and bury thy father, according
as he made thee swear. And Joseph ^
went up to bur)' his father: and with him
went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the
elders of his house, and all the elders of
the land of Egypt, and all the house of 8
Joseph, and his brethren, and his father's
house: only their little ones, and their
flocks, and their herds, they left Hn the
land of Goshen. And there went up 9
with him both chariots and horsemen :
and it was a very great company. And 10
they came to the threshingfloor of Atad,
which is beyond Jordan, and there they
mourned with a great and very sore la-
mentation: and he made a mourning
for his father seven days. And whenn
the inhabitants of the land, the Canaan-
ites, saw the mourning in the floor of
Atad, they said, This is a grievous
mourning to the Egyptians: wherefore
the name of it was called 'Abel-mizraim,
which is beyond Jordan. And his sons 12
did unto him according as he command-
13 ed them : for ehis sons carried him into
the land of Canaan, and buried him in
the cave of the field of Machpelah, which
Abraham ''bought with the field for a
possession of a buryingplace of Ephron
■4 the Hittite, before Mamre. And Joseph
returned into Egj-pt, he, and his bre-
thren, and all that went up with him to
bur>- his father, after he had buried his
father.
15 And when Joseph's brethren saw that
their father was dead, they said, Joseph
will peradventure 'hate us, and will cer-
tainly requite us all the evil which we
16 did unto him. And they 'sent a mes-
senger unto Joseph, saying. Thy father
[7 did command before he died, saying, So
shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray
thee now, the trespass of thy brethren,
and their sin; for they did unto thee
evil : and now, we pray thee, forgive the
trespa.ss of the servants of ''the God of
thy father. And Joseph wept when they
ts spake unto him. And his brethren also
went and fell down before his face ; and
they said. Behold, we he thy servants.
19 And Joseph said unto them. Fear not:
20 'for am I in the place of God? But as
for you, ye thought evil against me ; but
■"God meant it unto good, to bring to
pass, as it is this day, to sa\e much peo-
21 pie alive. Now therefore fear ye not: "I
will nourish you and your litde ones.
And he comforted them, and spake
'kindly unto them.
22 And Joseph dwelt in Eg}-pt, he, and
his father's house: and Joseph lived an
23 hundred and ten years. And Joseph saw
Ephraim's children of the third genera-
tion: °the children also of Machir the
son of Manasseh were 'brought up upon
24 Joseph's knees. And Joseph said unto
his brethren, I die: and PGod will .surely
visit you, and bring you out of this land
unto the land 1 which he sware to Abra-
25 ham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. And 'Jo-
seph took an oath of the children of Is-
rael, saying, God will surely visit you,
and ye shall carry up my bones from
26 hence. So Joseph died, being an hun-
dred and ten years old: and they ^em-
balmed him, and he was put in a coffin
in Egypt.

NOW =• these arc the names of the chil-
dren of Israel, which came into Egypt;
every man and his household came with
Jacob. Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Ju- --
dah, Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin, j
Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher. 4
And all the souls that came out of the 5
'loins of Jacob were ''seventy souls: for
Joseph was in Egypt already. And '=Jo- 6
seph died, and all his brethren, and all
that generation.
''And the children of Israel were fniit- ^
ful, and increased abundantly, and mul-
tiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty;
and the land was filled with them. Now a
there arose up a new king over Egyjit,
=which knew not Joseph. And he 9
said unto his people, Behold, "^the people
of the children of Israel are moe and
mightier than we: scome on, let us lo
''deal wisely with them; lest they multi-
ply, and it come to pass, that, when
there falleth out any war, they join also
unto our enemies, and fight against us,
and so get them up out of the land.
Therefore they did set over them 'task-n
masters to afflict them with their ''bur-
dens. And they built for Pharaoh 'trea-
sure cities, Pithom and Raamses. 'But 12
the more they afflicted them, the more
they multiplied and ""grew. And they
"were grieved because of the children of
Israel. And the Egyptians made the 13
children of Israel to serve with rigour;
and they made their lives bitter with 14
hard bondage, in morter, and in brick,
and in all manner of service in the field :
all their service, wherein they made them
serve, was with rigour.
And the king of Egypt spake to the 15
Hebrew midwives, of which the name of
the one 7vas Shiphrah, and the name of
the other Puah : and he said, When ye 16
do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew
women, and see them upon the stools; if
it be a son, then ye shall kill him : but if
17 it he a daughter, then she shall live. But
the midwives "feared God, and did not
Pas the king of Egypt commanded them,
18 but saved the men children alive. And
the king of Egypt called for the mid-
wives, and said unto them, Why have ye
done this thing, and have saved the men
19 children alive.'' And the midwives said
unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew wo-
men are not as the Egyptian women ; for
they are lively, and are delivered ere the
20 midwives come in unto them. 1 Therefore
God dealt well with the midwives: and
the people multiplied, and waxed very
21 mighty. .\nd it came to pass, because
the midwives feared God, ""that he made
22 them houses. And Pharaoh charged all
his people, saying, ^ Every son that is
born ye shall cast into the river, and
every daughter ye shall save alive.
And there went ^a man of the house
of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of
2 Levi. And the woman conceived, and
bare a son: and ''when she saw him that
he was a goodly child, she hid him three
3 months. And when she could not lon-
ger hide him, she took for him an ark
■^of bulnishes, and daubed it with slime
and with pitch, and put the child there-
in; and she laid // in ''the flags by the
4 river's brink. And "^his sister stood afar
off, to wit what would be done to him.
s And the ^daughter of Pharaoh came
down to wash herself -iX the river; and
her maidens walked along by the river's
side; and when she saw the ark among
the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it.
6 And when she had opened /'/, she saw
the child: and behold, the babe wept.
And she had compassion on him, and

said, This is one of the Hebrews' chil-
dren. Then said his sister to Pharaoh's 7
daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a
nurse of the Hebrew women, that she
may nurse the child for thee? And Pha- 8
raoh's daughter said to her, Go. And
the maid went and called the child's mo-
ther. And Pharaoh's daughter said unto 9
her, Take this child away, and nurse it
for me, and I will give thee thy wages.
And the woman took the child, and
nursed it. And the child grew, and she 10
brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter,
and he became Eher son. And she called
his name "Moses: and she said, Because
1 drew him out of the water.
And it came to pass in those days, n
•■when Moses was grown, that he went
out unto his brethren, and looked on
their ' burdens : and he spied an Egyptian
smiting a Hebrew, one of his brethren.
And he looked this way and that way, i=
and when he saw that there 7aas no man,
he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in
the sand. And i^when he went out the 13
second day, behold, two men of the He-
brews strove together: and he said to
him that did the wrong, AV'herefore smit-
est thou thy fellow? And he said. Who h
made thee 'a prince and a judge over
us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou*
killedst the Egyptian? And Moses fear-
ed, and said. Surely this thing is known.
Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he 15
sought to slay Moses. But 'Moses fled
from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in
the land of Midian : and he sat down by
""a well. Now the 'priest of Midian had 16
seven daughters: "and they came and
"drew water, and filled the Ptroughs to
water their father's flock. And the shej)- 17
herds came and drove them away: but
Moses stood up and helped them, and
iwatered their flock. And when they 18
came to "'Reuel their father, he said,
How is it that you are come so soon to
day? And they said, An Eg)'ptian de- 19
livered us out of the hand of the shep-
herds, and also drew water enough for
us, and watered the flock. And he said 20
unto his daughters, And where is he?
why is it that ye have left the man? call
him, that he may ^eat bread. And Mo- 21
ses was content to dwell with the man :
and he gave Moses 'Zipporah his daugh-
ter. And she bare /;//;/ a son, and he 22
called his name "Gershom: for he said,
I have been a stranger in a strange
land.
i3 And it came to pass "in process of
time, that the king of Egypt died: and
the children of Israel "sighed by reason
of the bondage, and they cried, and
y their cry came up unto God by reason
24 of the bondage. And God ^ heard their
groaning, and God ^remembered his co-
venant with ''Abraham, with Isaac, and
25 with ''Jacob. And God "^looked upon
the children of Israel, and God •''had re-
spect unto them.

Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro
his father in law, the priest of Midian:
and he led the flock ^to the backside of
the desert, and came to ''the mountain
2 of God, even to Horeb. And '^the angel
of the Lord appeared unto him in a
flame of fire out of the midst of ''a bush :
and he looked, and behold, the bush
burned with fire, and the bush was not
3 consumed. And Moses said, I will now
turn aside, and see this great sight, why
4 the bush is not burnt. And when the
Lord saw that he turned aside to see,
God called unto him out of the midst of
the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And
she said. Here am I. And he said. Draw
not nigh hither: ^put off thy shoes from
ofl" thy feet, for the place whereon thou
6 standest is holy ground. Moreover he
said, fl afu the God of thy father, the
God of Abraham, the God of Isaac,
and the God of Jacob. And Moses
hid his face; for she was afraid to look
7 upon God. And the Lord said, ^I have
surely seen the affliction of my people
which arc in Egj-pt, and have heard their
'cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I
s know their sorrows ; and ^ I am come
down to 'deliver them out of the hand of
the Egyptians, and to bring them up out
of that land "unto a good land and a
large, unto a land "flowing with milk
and honey; unto the place of "the Ca-
naanites, and the Hittites, and the Amo-
rites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites,
9 and the Jebusites. Now therefore, be-
hold, Pthe cry of the children of Israel is
come unto me: and I have also seen the
oppression wherewith the Egj'ptians op-
10 press them. Come now therefore, and I
will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou
mayest bring forth my people the chil-
li dren of Israel out of Egypt. And Moses
said unto God, iWho am I, that I should
go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring
forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?

And he said, 'Certainly I will be with i.-
thee ; and this shall be a token unto thee,
that I have sent thee: When thou hast
brought forth the people out of Egypt,
^ye shall serve (^od upon this mountain.
And Moses said unto God, Behold, when 13
I come unto the children of Israel, and
shall say unto them. The God of your fa-
thers hath sent me unto you; and they
shall say to me. What is his name.' what
shall I say unto them? And God said 14
unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM : and
he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the
children of Israel, 'I AM hath sent me
unto you. And God said moreover unto 15
Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the
children of Israel, "The Lord God of
your fathers, the God of Abraham, the
God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob,
hath sent me unto you: this is ^my name
for ever, and this is my memorial unto
all generations. Go, and vgather the 16
elders of Israel together, and say unto
them. The Lord God of your fathers,
the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of
Jacob, appeared unto me, saying, I ^have
surely visited you, and seen that which is
done to you in Egypt: and I have said, 17
="1 will bring you up out of the affliction
of Egypt unto the land of the Canaan-
ites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites,
and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and
the Jebusites, unto a land flowing with
milk and honey. And ''they shall heark-is
en to thy voice: and '^thou shalt come,
thou and the elders of Israel, unto the
king of Egypt, and you shall say unto
him, The Lord God of the Hebrews
hath "^met with us: and now let us go,
we beseech thee, three days' journey into
the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to
the Lord our God. And I am sure that 19
the king of Egj'pt ^will not let you go,
"no, not by a mighty hand. And I will 20
fstretch out my hand, and smite Egypt
with all my wonders which I will do in
the midst thereof: and eafter that he
will let you go. And i^I will give this 21
people favour in the sight of the Egyp-
tians: and it shall come to pass, that,
when ye go, ye shall not go empty: but ;.:
every woman 'shall borrow of her neigh-
bour, and of her that sojourneth in her
house, jewels of silver, and jewels of
gold, and raiment : and ye shall put them
upon your sons, and upon your daugh-
ters; and ''ye shall spoil "the Eg)'ptians.
And Moses answered and said. But
behold, they will not believe me, nor
hearken unto my voice: for they will
say, The Lord hath not appeared unto
2 thee. And the Lord said unto him.
What is that in thine hand? And he
3 said, ^ A rod. And he said. Cast it on
the gi-ound. And he cast it on the
ground, and it became a serpent; and
4 Moses fled from before it. And the
Lord said unto Moses, Put forth thine
hand, and take it by the tail. And he
put forth his hand, and caught it, and it
5 became a rod in his hand : that they may
''believe that '^the Lord God of their fa-
thers, the God of Abraham, the God of
Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath ap-
6peared unto thee. And the Lord said
furthermore unto him. Put novt- thine
hand into thy bosom. And he put his
hand into his bosom : and when he took
it out, behold, his hand was leprous ''as
7 snow. And he said, Put thine hand into
thy bosom again. And he put his hand
into his bosom again; and plucked it
out of his bosom, and behold, "=it was
8 turned again as his other flesh. And it
shall come to pass, if they will not be-
lieve thee, neither hearken to the voice
of the first sign, that they will believe
9 the voice of the latter sign. And it shall
come to pass, if they will not believe
also these two signs, neither hearken
unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of
the water of the river, and pour it upon
the dry land: and ""the water which thou
takest out of the river 'shall become
to blood upon the dry land. And Moses
said unto the Lord, O my Lord, I am
not 'eloquent, neither 'heretofore, nor
since thou hast spoken unto thy servant:
but sl am slow of speech, and of a slow
1 1 tongue. And the Lord said unto him.
Who hath made man's mouth? or who
maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing,
or the blind? have not I the Lord?
la Now therefore go, and I will be •'with
thy mouth, and teach thee what thou
13 shalt say. And he said, O my Lord,
send, I pray thee, by the hand '\rf him
nwhom thou "wilt send. And the anger
of the Lord was kindled against Moses,
and he said. Is not Aaron the Levite
thy brother? I know that he can speak
well. And also, behold, he cometh forth
to meet thee: and when he seeth thee,
15 he will be glad in his heart. And ''thou
shalt speak unto him, and 'put words in
his mouth: and I will be with thy mouth,
and with his mouth, and will teach you
16 what ye shall do. And he shall be thy

spokesman unto the people : and he shall
be, even he shall be to thee instead of a
mouth, and ""thou shalt be to him in-
stead of God. And thou shalt take "this ^^
rod in thine hand, wherewith thoa shalt
do signs. And Moses went and returned 18
to 'Jethro his father in law, and said
unto him. Let me go, I pray thee, and
return unto my brethren which are in E-
gypt, and see whether they be yet alive.
And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace.
And the Lord said unto Moses in Mi- 19
dian, Go, return inlo Egypt: for °all the
men are dead which sought thy life.
And Moses took his wife and his sons, 20
and set them upon an ass, and he re-
turned to the land of Egypt: and Moses
took Pthe rod of God in his hand. And 21
the Lord said unto Moses, When thou
goest to return into Egypt, see that thou
do all those 1 wonders before Pharaoh,
which I have put in thine hand : but ■■ I
will harden his heart, that he shall not
let the people go. And thou shalt say 22
unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the Lord, ^Is-
rael is my son, ^even my firstborn : and 1 23
say unto thee, Let my son go, that he
may serve me : and // thou refuse to let
him go, behold, " I will slay thy son, men
thy firstborn.
And it came to pass by the way •''in !^
the inn, that the Lord >'met him, and
sought to kill him. Then Zipporah took 23
"a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin
of her son, and 'cast // at his feet, and
said, Surely a bloody husband art thou
to me. So he ^let him go: then she said, 26
A bloody husband thou art, because of
the circumcision. And the Lord said 27
to Aaron, Go into the wilderness "to
meet Moses. And he went, and met
him in ''the mount of God, and kissed
him. And Moses "^told Aaron all the 2S
words of the Lord who had sent him,
and all the ''signs which he had com-
manded him. And Moses and Aaron 29
<=went and gathered together all the el-
ders of the children of Israel: fand Aa-30
ron spake all the words which the Lord
had spoken unto Moses, and did the
signs in the sight of the people. And 31
the people sbelieved: and when they
heard that the Lord had ''visited the
children of Israel, and that he 'had look-
ed upon their affliction, then ''they bow-
ed their heads and worshipped.
And afterward Moses and Aaron went
in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the
Lord God of Israel, Let my people go,
that they may hold ^'a feast unto me in
2 the wilderness. And Pharaoh said, ''Who
is the Lord, that I should obey his voice
to let Israel go? I know not the Lord,
3 neither will I let Israel go. And they
said, "^The God of the Hebrews hath
met with us: let us go, we pray thee,
three days' journey into the desert, and
sacrifice unto the Lord our God; lest
''he fall upon us with pestilence, or with
4 the sword. And the king of Egypt said
unto them, Wherefore do ye, Moses and
Aaron, let the people from their works?
5 get j-ou unto your '^burdens. And Pha-
raoh said. Behold, the people of the land
now are many, and you make them rest
6 from their •= burdens. And Pharaoh com-
manded the same day the ''taskmasters
of the people, and s their officers, saying,
7 Ye shall no more give the people straw
to make brick, as ''heretofore: let them go
8 and gather straw for themselves. And the
tale of the bricks, which they did make
''heretofore, you shall lay upon them;
you shall not diminish otii^lit thereof: for
they be idle; therefore they cry, saying.
Let us go and sacrifice to our God.
9 ' Let there more work be laid upon the
men, that they may labour therein; and
10 let them not regard vain words. And
the taskmasters of the people went out,
and their officers, and they spake to the
people, saying. Thus saith Pharaoh, I
11 will not give you straw. Go ye, get you
straw where you can find //.• yet not ought
12 of your work shalt be diminished. So the
people were scattered abroad throughout
all the land of Egypt to gather stubble
t3 instead of straw. And the taskmasters
hasted them, saying. Fulfil your works,
^yoiir daily tasks, as when there was
H straw. And the oflficers of the children
of Israel, which Pharaoh's taskmasters
had set over them, were beaten, and de-
manded. Wherefore have ye not fulfilled
your task in making brick both yesterday
15 and to day, as 'heretofore? Then the
officers of the children of Israel came
and cried unto Pharaoh, saying. Where-
fore dealest thou thus with thy servants?
16 There is no straw given unto thy ser-
vants, and they say to us. Make brick :
and behold, thy servants are beaten ; but
17 the fault is in thine own people. But he
said. Ye are idle, ye are idle: therefore
ye say, Let us go and do sacrifice to the
18 Lord. Go therefore now, (rWwork; for
there shall no straw be given you, yet
19 shall ye deliver the tale of bricks. And

the officers of the children of Israel did
see that they were in evil case, after it
was said, Ye shall not minish ou^:;ht from
your bricks of ^your daily task. And 20
they met Moses and Aaron, who stood
in the way, as they came forth from Pha-
raoh: 'and they said unto them, The 21
Lord look upon you, and judge; be-
cause you have made our savour *to be
abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in
the eyes of his servants, to put a sword
in their hand to slay us.
And Moses returned unto the Lord, 22
and said. Lord, wherefore hast thou so
evil entreated this people? why is it
that thou hast sent me? For since 1 23
came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name,
he hath done evil to this people; 'nei-
ther hast thou delivered thy people at
all. Then the Lord said unto Moses,
Now shalt thou see what I will do to
Pharaoh : for »with a strong hand shall
he let them go, and with a strong hand
''shall he drive them out of his land.
And God spake unto Moses, and said 2
unto him, I am "the Lord: and I ap- 3
peared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and
unto Jacob, by the name of "^God Al-
mighty, but by my name ''JEHOVAH
was I not known to them. '=And I 4
have also established my covenant with
them, fto give them the lantl of Canaan,
the land of their pilgrimage, wherein
they were strangers. And si have also 5
heard the groaning of the children of
Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in
bondage ; and I have remembered my
covenant. Wherefore say unto the chil- 6
dren of Israel, ''I am the Lord, and
'I will bring you out from under the
burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid
you out of their bondage, and I will
''redeem you with a stretched out arm,
and with great judgments: and I will 7
'take you to me for a people, and ™I
will be to you a God : and ye shall know
that I am the Lord your God, which
bringeth you out "from under the bur-
dens of the Egyptians. And I will bring 8
you in unto the land, concerning the
which I did •" swear to give it to Abra-
ham, to Isaac, and to Jacob ; and I will
give it you for an heritage : I am the
Lord. And Moses spake so unto the 9
children of Israel: I'but they hearkened
■ not unto Moses for 'anguish of spirit,
and for cruel bondage.
And the Lord spake unto Moses, say- 10
ing, Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of n
Egypt, that he let the children of Israel
12 go out of his land. And Moses spake
before the Lord, saying. Behold, the
children of Israel have inot hearkened
unto me; how then shall Pharaoh hear
me, ■'who am of uncircumcised lips?
13 And the Lord spake unto Moses and
unto Aaron, and gave them a charge un-
to the children of Israel, and unto Pha-
raoh king of Egypt, to bring the children
of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
14 These be the heads of their fathers'
houses : ^The sons of Reuben the first-
born of Israel ; Hanoch, and Pallu, Hez-
ron, and Carmi : these be the families of
15 Reuben. 'And the sons of Simeon ; Je-
muel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin,
and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a
Canaanitish woman : these are the fami-
16 lies of .Simeon. And these are the
names of "the sons of Levi according
to their generations; Gershon, and Ko-
hath, and Merari : and the years of the
life of Levi were ^an hundred thirty and
17 seven years. vThe sons of Gershon;

ziel: and the years of the life of Kohath

20 according to their generations. And

sister to wife ; and she bare him Aaron
and Moses: and the years of the life of
Amram 7iierc an hundred and thirty and

sir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph: these
25 are the families of the Korhites. And

And it came to pass on the day 7C'/i(n is
the Lord spake unto Moses in the land
of Egypt, that the Lord spake unto =9
Moses, saying, "I apn the Lord: °speak
thou unto Pharaoh king of Eg)'pt all
that I say unto thee. And Moses said 30
before the Lord, Behold, p I cim of un-
circumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh
hearken unto me? And the Lord said
unto Moses, .See, I have made thee ^a
god to Pharaoh : and Aaron thy brother
shall be ''thy prophet. Thou "^shalt speak 2
all that I command thee : and Aaron thy
brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that
he send the children of Israel out of his
land. And ''I will harden Pharaoh's 3
heart, and ■= multiply fmy signs and 'my
wonders in the land of Egypt. But 4
Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you,
sthat I may lay my hand upon Egypt,
and bring forth mine armies, and my
people the children of Israel, out of the
land of Egypt ?by great judgment;;.
And the Egyptians •'shall know that I 5
am the Lord, when I stretch forth mine
hand upon Egypt, and bring out the
children of Israel from among them.
And Moses and Aaron did as the Lord 6
commanded them, so did they. And 7
Moses 7L'as 'fourscore years old, and
Aaron fourscore and three years old,

And the Lord spake unto Moses and s
unto Aaron, saying, When Pharaoh shall 0
speak unto you, saying, ''Shew a miracle
for you: then thou shalt say unto Aaron,
Take thy rod, and cast // before Pha-
raoh, and it shall become a 'serpent.
And Moses and .\aron went in unto 10
Pharaoh, and they did so as the Lord
had commanded : and .■\aron cast down
his rod before Pharaoh, and before his
servants, and it became a serpent. Then 1 1
Pharaoh also called ""the wise men and
"the sorcerers: now ""the magicians of
Egypt, they also did in like manner with
their enchantments. For they cast down 12
every man his rod, and they became
serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up
their rods. And "he hardened Pharaoh's 13
heart, that he hearkened not unto them ;
as the Lord had said.
And the Lord said unto Moses, Pha- 14
raoh's heart is hardened, he refuseth to
let the people go. Get thee unto Pha- 15

unto the water; and thou shalt stand by

and the frogs shall come up both on 4
thee, and upon thy people, and upon all
thy servants. And the Lord spake unto s
Moses, Say unto Aaron, <=Stretch forth
thine hand with thy rod over the streams,
over the rivers, and over the ponds, and
cause frogs to come up upon the land of
Egypt. And Aaron stretched out his 6
hand over the waters of Egypt ; and ^the
frogs came up, and covered the land of
P^gypt. sAnd the magicians did so with ^
their enchantments, and brought up frogs
upon the land of Egypt. Then Pharaoh 8
called for Moses and Aaron, and said,
''Intreat the Lord, that he may take
away the frogs from me, and from my
people; and I will let the people go, that
they may do sacrifice unto the Lord.
And Moses said unto Pharaoh, 'Glory 9
over me: "when shall I intreat for thee,
and for thy servants, and for thy people,
'to destroy the frogs from thee and thy
houses, that they may remain in the river
only? And he said, "To morrow. And 10
he said, Be it according to thy word:
that thou mayest know that ''there is
none like unto the Lord our God. And n
the frogs shall depart from thee, and
from thy houses, and from thy servants,
and from thy people ; they shall remain
in the river only. And Moses and Aa- 12
ron went out from Pharaoh : and Moses
cried unto the Lord because of the
frogs which he had brought against Pha-
raoh. And the Lord did according to 13
the word of Moses; and the frogs died
out of the houses, out of the villages,
and out of the iields. And they gather- 14
ed them together upon heaps: and the
land stank. But when Pharaoh saw that 15
there was ''respite, 'he hardened his
heart, and hearkened not unto them; as
the Lord had said.
And the Lord said unto Moses, Say 16
unto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and
smite the dust of the land, that it may
become lice throughout all the land of
Egypt. And they did so; for Aaron 17
"'stretched out his hand with his rod,
and smote the dust of the earth, and "it
became lice in man, and in beast; all
the dust of the land became lice through-
out all the land of Egypt. And "the is
magicians did so with their enchant-
ments to bring forth lice, but they could
not: so there were lice upon man, and
upon beast. Then the magicians said 19
unto Pharaoh, This is Pthe finger of
God: and Pharaoh's "i heart was harden-

saith ''the Lord God of the Hebrews,
Let. my people go, that they may serve
me. For if thou refuse to let them go, 2
and wilt hold them still, behold, the 3
•^hand of the Lord is upon thy cattle
which is in the field, upon the horses,
upon the asses, upon the camels, upon
the o.xen, and upon the sheep: there
shall be a very grievous murrain. And 4
''the Lord shall sever between the cat-
tle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt:
and there shall nothing die of all that is
the children's of Israel. And the Lord s
appointed a set time, saying. To morrow
the Lord shall do this thing in the land.
Arid the Lord did that thing on the 6
morrow, and "^all the cattle of Egypt
died: but of the cattle of the children of
Israel died not one. And Pharaoh sent, 7
and behold, there was not one of the
cattle of the Israelites dead. And ^the
heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he
did not let the people go.
And the Lord said unto Moses and s
unto Aaron, Take to you handfuls of
ashes of the furnace, and let Moses
sprinkle it towards the heaven in the sight
of Pharaoh. And it shall become small 9
dust in all the land of Egypt, and .shall
be ea boil breaking forth with blains
upon man, and upon beast, throughout
all the land of Egypt. And they took 10
ashes of the furnace, and stood before
Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it ^ttp
toward heaven; and it became a boil
breaking forth with blains upon man,
and upon beast. And the 'magicians n
could not stand before Moses because of
the boils; for the boil was upon the ma-
gicians, and upon all the Egyptian.s.
■■And the Lord hardened the heart of 12
Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto
them; as the Lord had spoken unto
Moses.
And the Lord said unto Moses, 'Rise 13
up early in the morning, and stand be-
fore Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus
saith ""the Lord God of the Hebrews,
Let my people go, that they may serve
me. For I will at this time send all my 14
plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy
servants, and upon thy people; "that
thou mayest know that then is none like
me in all the earth. For now I will 15
stretch out my hand, that I may smite
thee and thy people with pestilence ; and
thou shalt be cut off from the earth.
And in very deed for "this causei6
have I 'raised thee up, for to shew
in thee my power; and that my
name may be declared throughout
i7all the earth. As yet e.\altest thou
thyself against my people, that thou wilt
18 not let them go? Behold, to morrow
about this time I will cause it to rain a
very grievous hail, such as hath not been
in Egypt since the foundation thereof
19 even until now. Send therefore now,
ami gather thy cattle, and all that thou
I hast in the field; for upon every man
and beast which shall be found in the
field, and .shall not be brought home,
the hail shall come down upon them,
20 and they shall die. He that feared the
word of the Lord amongst the servants of
Pharaoh made his ser\'ants and his cat-
21 tie flee into the houses: and he that 're-
garded not the word of the Lord left his
22 servants and his cattle in the field. And
the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch forth
thine hand toward heaven, that there
may be Phail in all the land of Egypt,
upon man, and upon beast, and upon
every herb of the field, throughout the
23 land of Egypt. And Moses stretched
forth his rod toward heaven: and ithe
Lord sent thunder and hail, and the
fire ran along upon the ground; and
the Lord rained hail upon the land of
24 Egypt. So there was hail, and 'fire
mingled with the hail, very grievous,
such as there was none like it in all the
land of Egypt since it became a nation.
=5 And the hail smote throughout all the
land of Egypt all that 7i'as in the field,
both man and beast; and the hail ^smote
every herb of the field, and '^brake every
26 tree of the field. 'Only in the land of
Goshen, where the children of Israel
:iTwere, was there no hail. And Pharaoh
sent, and called for Moses and Aaron,
and .said unto them, "I have sinned this
time: '■'the Lord is righteous, and I and
28 my people arc wicked. ^Intreat the
Lord (for it is enough) that there be no
more 'mighty thunderings and hail; and
I will let you go, and ye shall stay no
29 longer. And Moses said unto him. As
soon as I am gone out of the city, I will
^spread abroad my hands unto the
Lord; a/id the thunder shall cease, nei-
ther shall there be any more hail; that
thou mayest know how that the "earth
30 is the Lord's. But as for thee and thy
ser\'ants, I know that ye will not yet
31 fear the Lord God. And the fla.\ and
the barley was smitten: ''for the barley

But the wheat and the rye were not smit- 32
ten : for they u<cn- *not grown up. And 33
Moses went out of the city from Pha-
raoh, and "^spread abroad his hands unto
the Lord: and the thunders and hail
ceased, and the rain was not poured up-
on the earth. And when Pharaoh saw 34
that the rain and the hail and the thun-
ders were ceased, he sinned yet more,
and hardened his heart, ''he and his ser-
vants. And 'the heart of Pharaoh was 35
hardened, neither would he let the chil-
dren of Israel go; as the Lord had
spoken 'by Moses.
And the Lord said unto Moses, Go
in unto Pharaoh: ='for I have hardened
his heart, and the heart of his servants,
that I might shew these my signs before
him: and that ''thou mayest tell in the 2
ears of thy son, and of thy son's son,
what things "^I have wrought in Egypt,
and my signs which I have done amongst
them ; that ye may know how that I am
the Lord. And Moses and Aaron came 3
in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him.
Thus saith the Lord God of the He-
brews, How long wilt thou refuse to
humble thyself before me? let my people
go, that they may serve me. Else, if 4
thou refuse to let my people go, behold,
to morrow will I bring the ''locusts into
thy coast : and they shall cover the ' face 5
of the earth, that one cannot be able to
see the earth: and *=they shall eat the
residue of that which is escaped which
remaineth unto you from the hail, and
shall eat every tree which groweth for
you out of the field: and they fshall fill 6
thy houses, and the houses of all thy ser-
vants, and the houses of all the Egyp-
tians ; which neither thy fathers, nor thy
fathers' fathers have seen, since the day
that they were upon the earth unto this
day. And he turned himself, and went
out from Pharaoh. And Pharaoh's ser- ^
vants said unto him, How long shall this
man be sa snare unto us? let the men
go, that they may serve the Lord their
God: knowest thou not yet that Egypt
is destroyed? And Moses and Aaron 8
were brought again unto Pharaoh: and
he said unto them, Go, serve the Lord
your God: but 'who arc they that shall
go? And Moses said. We will go with 9
our young and with our old, with our
sons and with our daughters, with our
flocks and with our herds will we go;
for ''we must hold a feast unto the Lord.
And he said unto them, Let the Lord 10
be so with you, as I will let you go, and
your little ones: look to it; for evil is
11 before you. Not so: go now ye that are
men, and serve the Lord; for that you
did desire. And they were driven out
12 from Pharaoh's presence. And the Lord
said unto Moses, 'Stretch out thine hand
over the land of Egypt for the locusts,
that they may come up upon the land of
Egypt, and ''eat every herb of the land,
13 «w all that the hail hath left. And Mo-
ses stretched forth his rod over the land
of Egypt, and the Lord brought an east
wind upon the land all that day, and all
that night; and when it was morning,
14 the east wind brought the locust.s. And
'the locusts went up over all the land of
Egypt, and rested in all the coasts of
Egypt: very grievous tvere they : '"before
them there were no such locusts as they,
15 neither after them shall be such. Eor
they covered the "face of the whole
earth, so that the land was darkened;
and they "did eat every herb of the land,
and all the fruit of the trees which the
hail had left: and there remained not
any green thing in the trees, or in the
herbs of the field, through all the land of
16 Egypt. Then Pharaoh 'called for Moses
and Aaron in haste; and he said, pI
have sinned against the Lord your God,
17 and against you. Now therefore forgive,
I pray thee, my sin only this once, and
lintreat the Lord your God, that he
may take away from me this death only.
18 And he ''went out from Pharaoh, and
igintreated the Lord. And the Lord
turned a mighty strong west wind, which
took away the locusts, and 'cast them
''into the Red sea ; there remained not
one locust in all the coasts of Egypt.
20 But the Lord 'hardened Pharaoh's
heart, so that he would not let the chil-
dren of Israel go.
21 And the Lord said unto Moses,
"Stretch out thine hand toward heaven,
that there may be darkness over the land
of Egypt, 'even darkness which may be
22 felt. And Moses stretched forth his
hand toward heaven; and there was a
"thick darkness in all the land of EgyjJt
23 three days: they .saw not one another,
neither rose any from his place for three
days: >'but all the children of Israel had
24 light in their dwellings. And Pharaoh
called unto Moses, and ^said. Go ye,
serve the Lord ; only let your flocks and
your herds be stayed: let your "little
25 ones also go with you. And Moses .said.

Thou must give *us also sacrifices and
burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice
unto the Lord our God. Our cattle also 26
shall go with us; there shall not a hoof
be left behind ; for thereof must we take
to serve the Lord our God; and we
know not with what we must serve the
Lord, until we come thither. But the 27
Lord '^hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he
would not let them go. And Pharaoh 28
said unto him. Get thee from me, take
heed to thyself, see my face no more ; for
in thai day thou seest my face thou shalt
die. And Moses said. Thou hast spoken 29
well, "^I will see thy face again no more.
(And the Lord said unto Moses, Yet
will I bring ^one plague more upon Pha-
raoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he
will let you go hence: ''when he shall
let you go, he shall surely thrust you out
hence altogether. Speak now in the 2
ears of the people, and let every man
'borrow of his neighbour, and every wo-
man of her neighbour, jewels of silver,
and jewels of gold. '^And the Lord 3
gave the people favour in the sight of
the Egyptians. Moreover the man 'Mo-
ses 7(ias very great in the land of Egypt,
in the sight of Pharaoh's servants, and
in the sight of the people.) And Moses ^
said. Thus saith the Lord, f About mid-
night will I go out into the midst of
Egypt: and all the firstborn in the land 5
of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of
Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne,
even unto the firstborn of the maidser-
vant 8 that is behind the mill; and all the
firstborn of beasts. ''And there shall be 6
a great cry throughout all the land of
Egypt, such as there was none like it,
nor shall be like it any more. 'But 7
against any of the children of Israel
''shall not a dog move his tongue, against
man or beast: that ye may know how
that the Lord doth put a difference be-
tween the Egyptians and Israel. And 8
'all these thy servants shall come down
unto me, and bow down themselves unto
me, saying. Get thee out, and all the
people *that follow thee: and after that
I will go out. And he went out from
Pharaoh in 'a great anger. And the Lord 9
said unto Moses, ""Pharaoh shall not heark-
en unto you; that "my wonders may be
multiplied in the land of Egypt. And 10
Moses and Aaron did all these wonders
liefore Pharaoh : "and the Lord hardened
Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let
the children of Israel go out of his land.
And the Lord spake unto Moses and
Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
2^This month ska// be unto you the be-
ginning of months: it s/ia/l be the first
3 month of the year to you. Speak ye
unto all the congregation of Israel, say-
ing. In the tenth day of this month they
shall take to them every man a 'lamb,
according to the house of t/ieir fathers, a
4 'lamb for a house: and if the household
be too little for the lamb, let him and
his neighbour ne.xt unto his house take //
according to the number of the souls;
every man according to his eating shall
5 make your count for the lamb. Your
lamb shall be ''without blemish, a male
'of the first year: ye shall take // out
6 from the sheep, or from the goats : and
ye shall keep it up until the '^fourteenth
day of the same month: and the whole
assembly of the congregation of Israel
7 shall kill it 'in the evening. And they
shall take of the blood, and strike it on
the two side posts and on the upper
door post of the houses, wherein they
8 shall eat it. And they shall eat the flesh
in ithat night, roast with fire, and ''un-
leavened bread; and with bitter /wrhs
9 they shall eat it. Eat not of it raw, nor
■^sodden at all with water, but roast with
fire; his head with his leg.s, and with the
10 fpurtenance thereof. sAnd ye shall let
nothing of it remain until the morning;
and that which remaineth of it until the
1 1 morning ye shall burn with fire. And
thus shall ye eat it; with your loins
girded, your shoes on your feet, and
your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat
it in haste; ''it is the Lord's passover.
12 For I 'will pass through the land of
Egypt ithis night, and will smite all the
firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man
and beast; and against all the 'gods of
Eg}'pt I will execute judgment : ■* I am
13 the Lord. And the blood shall be to
you for a token upon the houses where
)'ou are: and when I see the blood, I will
pass over you, and the plague shall not
be upon you 'to destroy you, when I
14 smite the land of Eg)'pt. And ithis day
shall be unto you ''for a memorial; and
you shall keep it a feast to the Lord
throughout your generations; you shall
keep it a feast 'by an ordinance for ever.
15 ""Seven days shall ye eat unleavened
bread; even the first day ye shall put
away leaven out of your houses : for who-

soever eateth leavened bread from the
first day until the seventh day, "that soul
shall be cut off from Israel. And in the 16
first day there shall be "a holy convoca-
tion, and in the seventh day there shall
be a holy convocation to you ; no man-
ner of work shall be done in them, save
that which every *man must eat, that
only may be done of you. And ye shall 17
observe the feast of unleavened bread ;
for Pin this selfsame day have I brought
your armies out of the land of Egypt:
therefore shall ye observe ithis day in
your generations by an ordinance for
ever. In the first month, on the four- is
teenth day of the month at even, ye shall
eat unleavened bread, until the one and
twentieth day of the month at even.
Seven days shall there be no leaven 19
found in your houses : for whosoever eat-
eth that which is leavened, even that
soul shall be cut off from the congrega-
tion of Israel, whether he be a stranger,
or born in the land. Ye shall eat no- =0
thing leavened; in all your habitations
shall ye eat unleavened bread.
Then Moses called for all the elders 21
ot Israel, and said unto them, Draw out
and take you a "lamb ■'according to your
families, and kill the passover. And ye 22
shall take a bunch of ^hyssop, and 'dip it
in the blood that is in the bason, and
strike "the lintel and the two side posts
with the blood that is in the bason ; and
none of you shall go out at the door of
his house until the morning. For the 23
Lord will pass through to smite the
Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood
upon "the lintel, and on the two side
posts, the Lord will pass over the door,
and will not suffer the destroyer to come
in unto your houses to smite you. And 24
ye shall observe this thing for an ordi-
nance to thee and to thy sons for ever.
And it shall come to pass, when ye be 25
come to the land which the Lord will
give you, ^according as he hath pro-
mised, that ye shall keep this service.
And it shall come to pass, vwhen your 26
children shall say unto you, What mean
you by this service? that ye shall say, ^It 27
is the sacrifice of the Lord's passover,
who passed over the houses of the children
of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the
Egyptians, and delivered our houses.
And the people ^ bowed the head and
worshipped. And the children of Israel 28
went away, and did as the Lord had com-
' manded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
29 And it came to pass, that ''at midnight
■^the Lord smote all the firstborn in the
land of Egypt, ''from the ' firstborn of
Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the
firstborn of the captive that ivas in the
'dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.
30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he,
and all his servants, and all the Egyp-
tians; and there was a 'great cry m
Egypt ; for there luas not a house where
31 there was not one dead. And he called
for Moses and Aaron by night, and said,
Rise up, and get you forth from amongst
my people, 'both you and the children of
Israel; and go, serve the Lord, as ye
32 have said. sAlso take your flocks and
your herds, as ye have said, and be
33 gone; and bless me also. '"And the E-
gyptians were urgent upon the people,
that they might send them out of the
land in haste; for they said, We be all
34 dead men. And the people took their
dough before it was leavened, their
"kneadingtroughs being bound up in
35 their clothes upon their shoulders. And
the children of Israel did according to
the word of Moses; and they 'borrowed
of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and
36 jewels of gold, and raiment: ''and the
Lord gave the people favour in the sight
of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto
them such things as they required. And
'they spoiled the Egyptians.
37 And "'the children of Israel journeyed
from "Rameses to Succoth, about "six
hundred thousand on foot that 7aere men,
38 beside children. And *a mixed mul-
titude went up also with them; and
flocks, and herds, ci'en very much cattle.
39 And they baked unleavened cakes of the
dough which they brought forth out of
Egypt, for it was not leavened ; because
Pthey were thrust out of Egypt, and
could not tarry, neither had they pre-
40 pared for themselves ««)■ victual. Now
the sojourning of the children of Israel,
who dwelt in Egypt, 7cias ^four hundred
41 and thirty years. And it came to pass
at the end of the four hundred and thir-
ty years, even the selfsame day it came
to pass, that all 'the hosts of the Lord
42 went out from the land of Egypt. It is
'a night to be much observed unto the
Lord for bringing them out from the
land of Egypt: this is that night of the
Lord 'to be observed of all the children
of Israel in their generations.
43 And the Lord said unto Moses and
Aaron, This is the ordinance of the pass-

asketh thee 'in time to come, saying,
What is this? that thou shalt say unto
him, "By strength of hand the Lord
brought us out from Eg)-pt, from the
15 house of 'bondage: and it came to pass,
when Pharaoh would hardly let us go,
that 'the Lord slew all the firstborn in
the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of
man, and the firstborn of beast: there-
fore I sacrifice to the Lord all that

"all the firstborn of my children I re-

17 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh
had let the people go, that God led them
not through the way of the land of the
Philistines, although that ■icas near; for
God said, Lest peradventure the people
J'repent w-hen they see w\ar, and they
is return to Egypt: but God 'led the peo-
ple about, through the way of the wilder-
ness of the Red sea: and the children of
Israel went up 'harnessed out of the
19 land of Eg)'pt. And Moses took the
bones of Joseph with him: for he had
straitly sworn the children of Israel, say-
ing, ■■'God will surely visit you; and ye
shall carry up my bones away hence
20 with you. And ''they took their journey
from Succoth, and encamped in Etham,

Lord went before them by day in a pil-
lar of a cloud, to lead them the way;
and by night in a pillar of fire, to give
22 them light; to go by day and night: he
took not away the pillar of the cloud by
day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from
before the people.

And the Lord spake unto Moses, say-
ing, Speak unto the children of Israel, 2
=that they turn and encamp before Pi-
hahiroth, between ''Migdol and the sea,
over against Baal-zephon : before it shall
ye encamp by the sea. For Pharaoh 3
will say of the children of Israel, They
(?;-6''=entangled in the land, the wilderness
hath shut them in. And ''I will harden 4
Pharaoh's heart, that he shall follow after
them; and I =will be honoured upon
Pharaoh, and upon all his host; fthat
the Egyptians may know that I am the
Lord. And they did so. And it was s
told the king of Egypt that the people
fled: and Bthe heart of Pharaoh and of
his servants was turned against the peo-
ple, and they said. Why have we done
this, that we have let Israel go from
serving us? And -he made ready his '>
chariot, and took his people with him :
and he took •'si.x hundred chosen cha- 7
riots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and
captains over every one of them. And s
the Lord 'hardened the heart of Pha-
raoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after
the children of Israel: and ''the children
of Israel went out with a high hand.
But the 'Egyptians pursued after them 9
(all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh,
and his horsemen, and his army) and
overtook them encamping by the sea,
beside Pi-hahiroth, before Baal-zephon.
And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the 10
children of Israel lift up their eyes,
and behold, the Egy[3tians marched af-
ter them; and they were sore afraid: and
the children of Israel ""cried out unto
the Lord. "And they said unto Moses, n
"Because there were no graves in Egypt,
hast thou taken us away to die in the
wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt
thus with us, to carry us forth out of
Egypt? P/f not this the word that we 12
did tell thee in Egypt, saying. Let us
alone, that we may serve the Egyptians?
For it had been better for us to serve the
Egyptians, than that we should die in
the wilderness. And Moses said unto 13
the people, 1 Fear ye not, stand still, and
see the salvation of the Lord, which he
will shew to you to day: "for the Egyp-
tians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall
see them again no more for ever. ■'The 14
Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall
^hold your peace. And the Lord said 15
unto Moses, Wherefore crie'st thou unto
me? speak unto the children of Israel,
that they go forward: but 'lift thou up 16
thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over
the sea, and divide it: and the children
of Israel shall go on dry s^roiind through
17 the midst of the sea. And I, behold, I
will "harden the hearts of the Egyptians,
and they shall follow them: and I will
^get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon
all his host, upon his chariots, and upon
18 his horsemen. And the Egyptians >" shall
know that I am the Lord, when I have
gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon
his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
19 And ^the angel of God, which went be-
fore the camp of Israel, removed and
went behind them ; and the pillar of the
cloud went from before their face, and
=0 stood behind them : and it came between
the camp of the P^gyptians and the camp
of Israel; and it was a cloud and dark-
ness to them, but it gave light by night
to these: so that the one came not near
the other all the night.
21 And Moses ^stretched out his hand
over the sea; and the Lord caused the
sea to go back by a strong east wind all
that night, and ''made the sea '^dry land,
22 and the waters were ''divided. And
=the children of Israel went into the
midst of the sea upon the dry ground:
and the waters laere a wall unto them on
23 their right hand, and on their left. And
the Egyptians pursued, and went in after
them to the midst of the sea, even all
Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his
24hQrsemen. And it came to pass, that in
fthe morning watch the Lord looked
unto the host of the Egyptians through
the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and
=5 troubled the host of the Egyptians, and
took off their chariot wheels, 'that they
drave them heavily: so that the Egyp-
tians said. Let us flee from the face of
Israel; for the Lord sfighteth for them
26 against the Egyptians. And the Lord
said unto Moses, ''Stretch out thine hand
over the sea, that the waters may come
again upon the Egyptians, upon their
27 chariots, and upon their horsemen. 'And
Moses stretched forth his hand over the
sea, and the sea ''returned to his strength
when the morning appeared; and the
Eg)'pti;ins fled against it; 'and the Lord
'overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of
28 the sea. And '"the waters returned, and
covered the chariots, and the horsemen,
and all the host of Pharaoh that came
into the sea after them ; there remained
29 not so much as "one of them. But "the
children of Israel walked upon dry land

in the midst of the sea; and the waters
were a wall unto them on their right
hand, and on their left. Thus the Lord 30
P saved Israel that day out of the hand
of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the
Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.
And Israel saw i/iaf great 'work which 31
the Lord did upon the Egyptians: and
the people feared the Lord, and 1 be-
lieved the Lord, and his servant Moses.
Then sang »Moses and the children
of Israel this song unto the Lord, and
spake, sajing,
I will "sing unto the Lord, for he
hath triumphed gloriously :
The horse and his rider hath he thrown
into the sea.
The Lord is my strength and '^song, 2
And he is become my "^salvation:

And iwith the blast of thy nostrils s

The enemy said, ''I will pursue, I will <>

diligently hearken to the voice of the
Lord thy God, and wilt do that which
is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to
his commandments, and keep all his sta-
tutes, I will put none of these 'diseases
upon thee, which I have brought upon
the Egyptians: for I am the Lord '"that
healeth thee. "And they came to Elim, =?
where were twelve wells of water, and
threescore and ten palm trees: and they
encamped there by the waters.
And they ^took their journey from
Elim, and all the congregation of the
children of Israel came unto the wilder-
ness of Sin, which is between Elim and
Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second
month after their departing out of the
land of Egypt. And the whole congre- 2
gation of the children of Israel •'mur-
mured against Moses and Aaron in the
wilderness: and the children of Israel 3
said unto them. Would to God we had
died by the hand of the Lord in the
land of Egypt, '=when we sat by the
flesh pots, and when we did eat bread
to the full ; for ye have brought us forth
into this wilderness, to kill this whole
assembly with hunger. Then said the 4
Lord unto Moses, Behold, I will rain
"* bread from heaven for you; and the
people shall go out and gather 'a cer-
tain rate every day, that I may "^prove
them, whether they will walk in my law,
or no. And it shall come to pass, that 5
on the si.xth day they shall prepare that
which they bring in ; and fit shall be
twice as much as they gather daily.
And Moses and Aaron said unto all the 6
children of Israel, sAt even, ''then ye
shall know that the Lord hath brought
you out from the land of Egypt : and in 7
the morning, then ye shall see 'the glory
of the Lord; for that he heareth your
murmurings against the Lord : and ''what
are we, that ye murmur against us?
And Moses said, This shall he, when s
the Lord shall give you in the evening
flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to
the full ; for that the Lord heareth your
murmurings which ye murmur against
him: and what arc we? your murmur-
ings arc not against us, but 'against the
Lord. And Moses "spake unto Aaron, 9
Say unto all the congregation of the
children of Israel, "Come near before
the Lord: for he hath heard your mur-
murings. And it came to pass, as Aaron 10
spake unto the whole congregation of
the children of Israel, that they looked
toward the wilderness, and behold, the
glory of the Lord "appeared in the
11 cloud. And the Lord spake unto Mo-
12 ses, saying, pI have heard the murmur-
ings of the children of Israel: speak
unto them, saying, 'lAt even ye shall
eat flesh, and 'in the morning ye shall
be filled with bread ; and ^ye shall know
13 that I am the Lord your God. And it
came to pass, that at even 'the quails
came up, and covered the camp : and in
the morning "the dew lay round about
14 the host. And when the dew that lay
was gone up, behold, upon the face of
the wilderness there lay "a small round
thing, (7.f small as the hoar frost on the
15 ground. And when the children of Is-
rael saw it, they said one to another,
"It is manna: for they wist not what it
7iias. And Moses said unto them, "This
is the bread which the Lord hath given
i6you to eat. This is the thing which the
Lord hath commanded, Gather of it
every man v according to his eating, ^an
omer *for every man, according to the
number of your * persons; take ye every
man for them which are in his tents.
17 And the children of Israel did so, and
18 gathered, some more, some less. And
when they did mete it with an omer,
''he that gathered much had no-
thing over, and he that gathered
little had no lack; they gathered every
19 man ''according to his eating. And Mo-
ses said. Let no man leave of it till the
20 morning. Notwithstanding they heark-
ened not unto Moses; but some of them
left of it until the morning, and it bred
worms, and stank : and Moses was wroth
21 with them. And they gathered it every
morning, every man ''according to his
eating ; and when the sun waxed hot, it
22 melted. And it came to pass, that on
the sixth day they gathered twice as
much bread, two omers for one fiian:
and all the rulers of the congregation
23 came and told Moses. And he said
unto them, This is that which the Lord
hath said, To morrow is "^the rest of the
holy sabbath unto the Lord : bake that
which you will bake to day, and seethe
that ye will seethe; and that which re-
maineth over lay up for you to be kept
24 until the morning. And they laid it up
till the morning, as Moses bade : and it
did not ''stink, neither was there any
25 worm therein. And Moses said, Eat
that to day; for to day is a sabbath unto
the Lord: to day ye shall not find it in

the field. Six days ye shall gather it ; 26
but on the seventh day, 7C'/iiWt is the
sabbath, in it there shall be none. And 27
it came to pass, t/tat there went out
some of the people on the seventh day
for to gather, and they found none.
And the Lord said unto Moses, How 28
long refuse ye to keep my command-
ments and my laws? See, for that the 29
Lord hath given you the sabbath, there-
fore he giveth you on the si.xth day the
bread of two days; abide ye every man

f Manna : and sit 7Cias like coriander seed,
white ; and the taste of it liwy like wafers
made with honey. And Moses said, 32
This is the thing which the Lord com-
mandeth, Fill an omer of it to be kept
for your generations; that they may see
the bread wherewith I have fed you in
the wilderness, when I brought you forth
from the land of Egypt. And Moses :j
said unto Aaron, ""Take a pot, and put
an omer full of manna therein, and lay
it up before the Lord, to be kept for
your generations. As the Lord com- 34
manded Moses, so Aaron laid it up 'be-
fore the Testimony, to be kept. And 35
the children of Israel did eat manna
''forty years, 'until they came to a land
inhabited; they did eat manna, until
they came unto the borders of the land
of Canaan. Now an omer is "the tenth 36
/>art of an ephah.
And ^all the congregation of the chil-
dren of Israel journeyed from the wil-
derness of Sin, after their journeys, ac-
cording to the commandment of the
Lord, and pitched in Rephidim: and
i/iere wi7s no water for the people to
drink. ''Wherefore the people did chide =
with Moses, and said, Give us water that
we may drink. And Moses said unto
them, Why chide you with me? where-
fore do ye "^ tempt the Lord? And the 3
people thirsted there for water; and the
people ''murmured against Moses, and
said, Wherefore is this i/inf thou hast
brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us
and our children and our cattle with
thirst? And Moses « cried unto the 4
Lord, saying, W^hat shall I do unto
this people? they be almost ready to
'stone me. And the Lord said unto s
Moses, Go on before the people, and
take with thee of the elders of Israel;
and thy rod, wherewith sthou smotest
•■the river, take in thine hand, and go.
6 'Behold, I will stand before thee there
upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt
smite the rock, and there shall come
water out of it, that the people may
drink. And Moses did so in the sight
7 of the elders of Israel. And he called
the name of the place ''■Massah, and
'Meribah, because of the chiding of the
children of Israel, and because they
tempted the Lord, saying, Is the Lord
amongst us, or not?
8 'Then came Amalek, and fought with
9 Israel in Rephidim. And Moses said
unto ""Joshua, Choose us out men, and
go out, fight with Amalek : to morrow I
will stand on the top of the hill with "the
10 rod of God in mine hand. So Joshua
did as Moses had said to him, and fought
with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and
11 Hur went up to the top of the hill. And
it came to pass, when Moses held up his
hand, that Israel jirevailed : and when
he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
12 But Moses' hands Jtwt' heavy ; and they
took a stone, and put if under him, and
he sat thereon ; and Aaron and Hur
stayed up his hands, the one on the one
side, and the other on the other side;
and his hands were steady until the going
13 down of the sun. And Joshua discom-
fited Amalek and his people with the
14 edge of the sword. And the Lord said
unto Moses, ° Write this /or a memorial
in a book, and rehearse // in the ears of
Joshua: for pI will utterly put out the
remembrance of Amalek from under
15 heaven. And Moses built an altar, and
called the name of it ' Jehovah-nissi :
16 for he said, 'Because 'the Lord hath
sworn t/mt the Lord 7C'i// have war with
Amalek from generation to generation.
When -'Jethro, ''the priest of Midian,
Moses' father in law, heard of all that
God had done for Moses, and for Israel
his people, and that the Lord had
2 brought Israel out of Egypt; then Je-
thro, Moses' father in law, took Zippo-
rah, Moses' wife, •= after he had sent her
back, and her ■'two sons; of which the
3 name of the one was 'Gershom; for he
said, I have been an alien in a strange
4 land : and the name of the other was
'Eliezer; for the God of my father, ^ said
he, was mine help, and delivered me from
s the sword of Pharaoh : and Jethro, Mo-
ses' father in law, came with his sons
and his wife unto Moses into the wilder-

ness, where he encamped at 'the mount
of God : and he said unto Moses, I thy 6
fatlier in law Jethro am come unto thee,
and thy wife, and her two sons with lier.
And Moses ewent out to meet his father ^
in law, and did obeisance, and "^kissed
him ; and they asked each other of their
Svelfare; and they came into the tent.
And Moses told his father in law all that 8
the Lord had done unto Pharaoh and
to the Egyptians for Israel's sake, and
all the travail that had 'come upon them
by the way, and ho'ic the Lord delivered
them. And Jethro 'rejoiced for all the 9
goodness which the Lord had done to
Israel, whom he had delivered out of the
hand of the Egyptians. And Jethro said, 10
''Blessed be the Lord, who hath deliver-
ed you out of the hand of the Egyptians,
and out of the hand of Pharaoh, who
hath delivered the people from under
the hand of the Egyptians. Now I n
know that the Lord is 'greater than all
gods: ""for in the thing wherein they
"dealt proudly hewas above them. And 12
Jethro, Moses' father in law, took a burnt
offering and sacrifices for God : and
Aaron came, and all the elders of Israel,
to eat bread with Moses' father in law
° before God.
And it came to pass on the morrow, 13
that Moses sat to judge the people : and
the people stood by Moses from the
morning unto the evening. And when 14
Moses' father in law saw all that he did
to the people, he said, What is this thing
that thou doest to the people? why sit-
test thou thyself alone, and all the peo-
ple stand by thee from morning unto
even? And Moses said unto his father 15
in law. Because Pthe people come unto
me to inquire of God : when they have ni
la matter, they come unto me; and I
judge between *one and another, and I
do ''make them know the statutes of
God, and his laws. And Moses' father 17
in law said unto him, The thing that thou
doest is not good. *Thou wilt surely is
wear away, both thou, and this people
that is with thee: for this thing is too
heavy for thee; ^thouart notable to per-
form it thyself alone. Hearken now un- 19
to my voice, I will give thee counsel,
and 'God shall be with thee: be thou
"for the people to God-ward, that thou
mayest "bring the causes unto God : and 20
thou shalt >■ teach them ordinances and
laws, and shalt shew them ^the way
wherein they must walk, and •''the work
!i that they must do. Moreover thou shalt
provide out of all the people "^able men,
such as "=fear God, ''men of truth, 'hating
covetousness ; and place such over them,
to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of
hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of
22 tens : and let them judge tlie people ^at
all seasons : sand it shall be, that every
great matter they shall bring unto thee,
but every small matter they shall judge :
so .shall it be easier for thyself, and they
23 shall bear ^the burden with thee. If thou
shalt do this thing, and God command
thee so, then thou shalt be 'able to en-
dure, and all this people shall also go to
24 ''their place in peace. So Moses heark-
ened to the voice of his father in law, and
25 did all that he had said. And 'Moses
choseable men outof all Israel, and made
them heads over the people, rulers of
thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fif-
=6 ties, and rulers of tens. And they judged
thepeoplc ™at all seasons : thehard causes
they brought unto Moses, but every
small matter they judged themselves.
z^ And Moses let his fatlier in law depart;
and "he went his way into his own land.
In the third month, when the children
of Israel were gone forth out of the land
of Egypt, the same day ='came they into
2 the wilderness of Sinai. For they were
departed from ''Rephidim, and were
come /(' the desert of Sinai, and had
pitched in the wilderness; and there Is-
3 rael 'camped before '^the mount. And
'' Moses went up unto God, and the Lord
^called unto him out of the mountain,
saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house
of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel;
4 ''Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyp-
tians, and how el bare you on eagles'
wings, and brought you unto myself
5 Now ''therefore, if ye will obey my voice
indeed, and keep my covenant, then
ye .shall be a 'peculiar treasure unto me
above all people: for ''all the earth is
6 mine: and ye shall be unto me a 'king-
dom of priests, and a "'holy nation.
These are the words which thou shalt
7 speak unto the children of Israel. And
Moses came and called for the elders of
the people, and laid before their faces all
these words which the Lord command-
sed him. And "all the people answered
together, and said. All that the Lord hath
spoken we will do. And Moses returned
the words of the people unto the Lord.
9 And the Lord said unto Moses, Lo, I
come unto thee °in a thick cloud, Pthat

the people may hear when I speak with
thee, and ibeUeve thee for ever. And
Moses told the words of the people unto
the Lord.
And the Lord said unto Moses, Go lo
unto the people, and ■'sanctify them to
day and to morrow, and let them *wash
their clothes, and be ready against the n
third day: for the third day the Lord
'will come down in the sight of all the
people upon mount Sinai. And thou 12
shalt set bounds unto the people round
about, saying, Take heed to yourselves,
that yc go not up into the mount, or
touch the border of it: "whosoever
to'ucheth the mount shall be surely
put to death: there shall not a r;
hand touch it, but he shall surely
be stoned, or shot through; whe-
ther // be beast or man, it shall not
live: when the '"trumpet soundeth long,
they shall come up to the mount. And 14
Moses ywent down from the mount unto
the people, and sanctified the people;
and they washed their clothes. And he 15
said unto the people, ^Be ready against
the third day: ='come not zX. your wives.
And it came to pass on the third day in 16
the morning, that there were ''thunders
and lightnings, and a "^thick cloud upon
the mount, and the "^voice of the trum-
pet exceeding loud ; so that all the peo-
ple that was in the camp "^trembled.
And fMoses brought forth the people 17
out of the camp to meet with God ; and
they stood at the nether part of the
mount. And mount Sinai swas altoge- is
ther on a smoke, because the Lord
descended upon it '■in fire: 'and the
smoke thereof ascended as the smoke
of a furnace, and ''the whole mount
quaked greatly. And 'when the voice 19
of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed
louder and louder, Moses spake, and
■"God answered him by a voice. And 20
the Lord came down upon mount Sinai,
on the top of the mount : and the Lord
called Moses /// to the top of the mount;
and Moses went up. And the Lord 21
said unto Moses, Go down, 'charge the
people, lest they break through unto the
Lord "to gaze, and many of them perish.
And let the priests also, which come 22
near to the Lord, "sanctify themselves,
lest the Lord p break forth upon them.
And Moses said unto the Lord, The 23
people cannot come up to mount Sinai :
for thou ' chargedst us, saying, 1 Set
bounds about the mount, and sanctify
XX.
To ver. 17,
-'4 it. And the Lord said unto him. Away,
get thee down, and thou shalt come up,
thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not
the priests and the people break through
to come up unto the Lord, lest he break naa.'s
25 forth upon them. So Moses went down b o'eut. s. 22.
unto the people, and spake unto them. ' Lev. 26.1,

But if the OX 7i'ere wont to push with 29
his horn in time past, and it hath been
testified to his owner, and he hath not
kept him in, but that he hath killed a
man or a woman ; the ox shall be stoned,
and his owner also shall be put to death.
If there be laid on him "^a sum of money, 30
then he shall give /or the ransom of his
life whatsoever is laid upon him. Whe- 31
ther he have gored a son, or have gored
a daughter, according to this judgment
shall it be done unto him. If the ox 32
shall push a manservant or a maid-
servant ; he .shall give unto their master
''thirty shekels 0/ silver, and the '^ox
shall be stoned. And if a man shall 33
open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit,
and not cover it, and an ox or an ass
fall therein; the owner of the pit shall 34
make // good, a/it^ give money unto the
owner of them ; and the dead deast shall
be his. And if one man's ox hurt an- 35
other's, that he die; then they shall sell
the live ox, and divide the money of it;
and the dead ox also they shall divide.
Or i/h be known that the ox /ia//i used 36
to push in time past, and his owner hath
not kept him in; he shall surely pay ox
for ox; and the dead shall be his own.
If a man shall steal an ox, or a
'sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he shall
restore five oxen for an ox, and ^four
sheep for a sheep. If a thief be found 2
''breaking up, and be smitten that he
die, i/iere shall "^no blood be shed for
him. If the sun be risen upon him, 3
there shall be blood shed for him; for he
should make full restitution ; if he have
nothing, then he shall be ''sold for his
theft. If the theft be certainly ■= found 4
in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or
ass, or sheep; he shall f restore double.
If a man shall cause a field or vine- 5
yard to be eaten, and shall put in his
beast, and shall feed in another man's
field; of the best of his own field, and
of the best of his own vineyard, shall he
make restitution. If fire break out, and 6
catch in thorns, so that the stacks of
corn, or the standing com, or the field,
be consumed thereivifh ; he that kindled
the fire shall surely make restitution. If ^
a man shall deliver unto his neighbour
money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen
out of the man's house; sif the thief be
found, let him pay double. If the thief s
be not found, then the master of the
house shall be brought unto the ''judges,
to see whether he have put his hand un-
9 to his neighbour's goods. For all man-
ner of trespass, whether it be for ox, for
ass, for sheep, for raiment, or for any
manner of lost thing, which another chal-
lengeth to be his, the cause of both
parties shall come before 'the judges;
and whom 'the judges shall condemn,
he shall pay double unto his neighbour.
10 If a man deliver unto his neighbour an
ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast,
to keep; and it die, or be hurt, or driven
11 away, no man seeing it: then shall an
''oath of the Lord be between them
both, that he hath not put his hand
unto his neighbour's goods ; and the
owner of it shall accept thereof, and he
12 shall not make /'/ good. And 'if it be
stolen from him, he shall make restitu-
13 tion unto the owner thereof If it be
'torn in pieces, then let him bring it for
witness, and he shall not make good
14 that which was torn. And if a man
borrow ought of his neighbour, and it be
hurt, or die, the owner thereof being not
with it, he shall surely make // good.
15 But if the owner thereof be with it, he
shall not make // good : if it be a hired
thing, it came for his hire.
16 And "'if a man entice a maid that is
not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall
17 surely endow her to be his wife. If her
father utterly refuse to give her unto
him, he shall 'pay money according to
18 the "dowry of virgins. °Thou shall not
19 suffer a witch to live. PWhosoever lieth
with a beast shall surely be put to death.
2oiHe that sacrificeth unto any god, save
unto the Lord only, he shall be utterly
destroyed.
21 'Thou shalt neither vex a stranger,
nor 0])press him : for ye were strangers
22 in the land of Egypt. ''Ye shall not
afflict any widow, or fatherless child.
23 If thou afflict them in any wise, and
they 'cry at all unto me, I will surely
24 "hear their cry; and my "wTath shall
wax hot, and I will kill you with the
sword; and vyour wives shall be widows,
and your children fatherless.
25 ^If thou lend money to any of my
people that is poor by thee, thou shalt
not be to him as an u.surer, neither shalt
26 thou lay upon him usury. ■''If thou at
all take thy neighbour's raiment to
pledge, thou shalt deliver it unto him
27 by that the sun goeth down : for that is
his covering only, it is his raiment for
his skin: wherein shall he sleep? and it

not drive them out from before thee in
one year; lest the land become desolate,
and the beast of the field multiply against
thee. By little and little I will drive 30
them out from before thee, until thou
be increased, and inherit the land. And 31
" I will set thy bounds from the Red sea
even unto the sea of the Philistines, and
from the desert unto the river : for I will
y deliver the inhabitants of the land into
your hand; and thou shalt drive them
out before thee. ^Thou shalt make no 32
covenant with them, nor with their god.s.
They shall not dwell in thy land, lest 33
they make thee sin against me : for if
thou serve their gods, ^it will surely be
a snare unto thee.
And he said unto Moses, Come up
unto the Lord, thou, and Aaron, ^Na-
dab, and Abihu, ''and seventy of the
elders of Israel ; and worship ye afar off.
And Moses '^alone shall come near the 2
Lord: but they shall not come nigh;
neither shall the people go up with him.
And Moses came and told the people 3
all the words of the Lord, and all the
judgments: and all the people answered
ic'it/i one voice, and said, ''All the words
which the Lord hath said will we do.
And Moses ■= wrote all the words of the 4
Lord, and rose up early in the morning,
and builded an altar under the hill, and
twelve fpillars, according to the twelve
tribes of Israel. And he sent young 5
men of the children of Israel, which
offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed
E peace offerings qf oxen unto the Lord.
And Moses ''took half of the blood, and 6
put // in basons; and half of the lilood
he sprinkled on the altar. And he 7
''took the book of the covenant, and
read in the audience of the people : and
they said, 'All that the Lord hath said
will we do, and be obedient. ''And Mo- 8
ses took the blood, and sprinkled
// on the people, and said, Behold
the blood of the covenant, which
the Lord hath made with you con-
cerning all these words. Then 'went 9
up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu,
and seventy of the elders of Israel : and 10
they ""saw the God of Israel: and i/iere
was under his feet as it were a paved
work of a "sapphire stone, and as it were
the body of heaven in /lis "clearness.
And upon Pthe nobles of the children u
of Israel he ilaid not his hand: also
they saw God, and did ''eat and drink.
And the Lord said unto Moses, 12
^Come up to me into the mount, and
be there: and I will give thee 'tables
of stone, and a law^ and commandments
which I have written; that thou ma)-est
13 teach them. And Moses rose up, and
"his minister Joshua: and Moses "'went
MUp into the mount of God. And lie
said unto the elders. Tarry ye here for
us, until we come again unto you : and
behold, Aaron and •''Hur a^-tf with you:
if any man >have any matters to do, let
15 him come unto them. And Moses went
up into the mount, and ^a cloud covered
16 the mount. And ^the glory of the Lord
abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud
covered it si.x days : and the seventh
day he called unto Moses out of the
17 midst of the cloud. And the sight of
the glory of the Lord was like ''de-
vouring fire on the top of the mount
in the eyes of the children of Israel.
18 And Moses went into the midst of the
cloud, and gat him up into the mount:
and "^ Moses was in the mount fort)' days
and forty nights.
And the Lord spake unto Moses,
2 saying, ^ Speak unto the children of
Israel, that they 'bring me an 'offering:
''of every man that giveth it willingly
with his heart ye shall take my 'ofler-
3ing. And this is the -ottering which
ye shall take of them; gold, and silver,
4 and brass, and blue, and purple, and
scarlet, and 'fine linen, and goats'
s/iair, and rams' skins dyed red, and
6 badgers' skins, and shittim wood, 'oil
for the light, ■'spices for anointing oil,
7 and for •= sweet incense, ''ony.x stones,
and stones to be set in the sephod, and
sin the sbreastplate. And let them make
me a ''sanctuary; that 'I may dwell
9 amongst them. 'According to all that I
shew thee, ({/Av the pattern of the taber-
nacle, and the pattern of all the instru-
ments thereof, even so shall ye make //.
10 ''And they shall make an ark of shit-
tim wood : two cubits and a half s/ia// be
the length thereof, and a cubit and a
half the breadth thereof, and a cubit and
11 a half the height thereof. And thou
shalt overlay it with pure gold, 'within
and without shalt thou overlay it, and
shalt make upon it a "'crown of gold
12 round about. And thou shalt cast four
rings of gold for it, and put them in the
four "corners thereof; and two rings shall
be in the one side of it, and two rings in
13 the other side of it. And thou shalt

cakes unleavened tempered with oil, and
wafers unleavened anointed with oil : of
wheaten flour shalt thou make them.
And thou shalt put them into one basket,
and bring them in the basket, with the
bullock and the two rams. And Aaron .
and his sons thou shalt bring unto the
door of the tabernacle of the congrega-
tion, "^and shalt wash them with water.
■^And thou shalt take the garments, and
put upon Aaron the coat, and the robe
of the ephod, and the ephod, and the

and put coats upon them. And thou
shalt gird them with 'girdles, Aaron and
his sons, and 'put the bonnets on them:

shall take the atonement money of the
children of Israel, and ishalt appoint it
for the service of the tabernacle of the
congregation; that it may be ''a memo-
rial unto the children of Israel before the
Lord, to make an atonement for your
souls.
And the Lord spake unto Moses, say- 17
ing, ^Thou shalt also make a laver cfi&
brass, and his foot also of brass, to wash
withal: and thou shalt 'put it behveen
the tabernacle of the congregation and
the altar, and thou shalt put water there-
in. For Aaron and his sons "shall wash 19
their hands and their feet thereat : when 20
they go into the tabernacle of the con-
gregation, they shall wash with water,
that they die not; or when they come
near to the altar to minister, to burn
offering made by fire unto the Lord: so 21
they shall wash their hands and their feet,
that they die not: and "it shall be a sta-
tute for ever to them, even to him and to
his seed throughout their generations.
Moreover the Lord spake unto Moses, 22
saying. Take thou also unto thee ''prin-23
cipal spices, of pure ymyrrh five hundred
shekels, and of sweet ^cinnamon half so
much, ei'en two hundred and fifty shekels,
and of sweet ''calamus two hundred and
fifty shekels, and of ^cassia five hundred 24
shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary,
and of oil olive a ''hin: and thou shalt 25
make it an oil of holy ointment, an oint-
ment compound after the art of the 'apo-
thecary: it shall be '=a holy anointing
oil. ''And thou shalt anoint the taber- =6

the ark of the Testimony, and the table 27
and all his vessels, and the candlestick
and his vessels, and the altar of incense,
and the altar of burnt oflering with all 28
his vessels, and the laver and his foot.
And thou shalt sanctify them, that they 29
maybe most holy: = whatsoever toucheth
them shall be holy. 'And thou shalt 30
anoint Aaron and his sons, and conse-
crate them, that they may minister unto
me in the priest's office. And thou shalt 31

the Lord that doth sanctify you. Ye 14
shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is
holy unto you: every one that defileth it
shall surely be put to death : for 'whoso-
ever doeth any work therein, that soul
shall be cut off from amongst his people.
'Six days may work be done; but in the 15
"seventh is the sabbath of rest, 'holy to
the Lord : whosoever doeth atiy work in
the sabbath day, he shall surely be put
to death. Wherefore the children ofi6
Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe
the sabbath throughout their generations,
for a perpetual covenant. It is ^a sign ^^
between me and the children of Israel
for ever: for yiii six days the Lord made
heaven and earth, and on the seventh
day he rested, and was refreshed. And he is
gave unto Moses, when he had made an
end of communing with him upon mount
Sinai, ^two tables of Testimony, tables
of stone, written with the finger of God.
And when the people saw that Moses
=■ delayed to come down out of the mount,
the people gathered themselves together
unto Aaron, and said unto him, ''Up,
make us gods, which shall "^go be-
fore us; for as for this Moses, the
man that brought us up out of the
land of Egypt, we wot not what is
become of him. And Aaron said unto 2
them. Break off the '^golden earrings,
which aj-e in the ears of your wives, of
your sons, and of your daughters, and
bring them unto me. And all the people 3
brake off the golden earrings which locre
in their ears, and brought them unto
Aaron. ^And he received thetn at their 4
hand, and fashioned it with a graving
tool, after he had made it a "^molten calf:
and they said. These be thy gods, O
Israel, which brought thee up out of the
land of Egypt. And when Aaron saw it, 5
he built an altar before it; and Aaron
made fproclamation, and said, To mor-
row is a feast to the Lord. And they 6
rose up early on the morrow, and offered
burnt offerings, and brought peace offer-
ings; and the ^people sat down to
eat and to drink, and rose up to
''play.
And the Lord said unto Moses, 'Go, 7
get thee down ; for thy people, which thou
broughtest out of the land of Egypt, ■> have
corru])ted themselves: they have turned 8
aside quickly out of the way which ''I
commanded them : they have made them
a molten calf, and have worshipped it,
and have sacrificed thereunto, and said,
'These be thy gods, O Israel, which have
brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
9 And the Lord said unto Moses, ™I have
seen this people, and behold, it is a stiff-
10 necked people: now therefore "let me
alone, that °my wTath may wax hot a-
gainst them, and that I may consume
them : and pI will make of thee a
II great nation. 1 And Moses besought ' the
Lord his God, and said. Lord, why doth
thy wrath wax hot against thy people,
which thou hast brought forth out of the
land of Egypt with great power, and with
13a mighty hand? "■ Wherefore should the
Egyptians speak, and say. For mischief
did he bring them out, to slay them in
the mountains, and to consume them
from the face of the earth? Turn from
thy fierce wrath, and ^repent of this evil
13 against thy people. Remember Abra-
ham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to
whom thou 'swarest by thine own self,
and saidst unto them, "I will multiply
your seed as the stars of heaven, and all
this land that I have spoken of will I
give unto your seed, and they shall in-
^herit // for ever. And the Lord "repent-
ed of the e\'il which he thought to do
unto his people.
15 And "Moses turned, and went down
from the mount, and the two tables of
the Testimony were in his hand : the
tables were written on both their sides;
on the one side and on the other lucre
16 they written. And the >' tables were
the work of God, and the writing was
the wTiting of God, graven upon the
17 tables. And when =^Joshua heard the
noise of the people as they shouted,
he said unto Moses, There is a noise
18 of war in the camp. And he said, It
is not the voice of them that ■'' shout
for mastery, neither is it the voice of
them that ^cry for 'being overcome: but
the noise ol them that ^sing do I hear.
19 And it came to pass, as soon as he came
nigh unto the camp, that ''he saw the
calf, and the dancing: and Moses' anger
waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of
his hands, and brake them beneath the
20 mount. And he took the calf which
they had made, and burnt // in the fire,
and ground // to powder, and strawed //
upon the water, and made the children
21 of Israel drink of it. And Moses said
unto Aaron, "^What did this people unto
thee, that thou hast brought so great a
2; sin upon them? And Aaron said. Let
not the anger of my lord wax hot: ''thou

knowest the people, that they arc set on
mischief. For they said unto me, = Make 23
us gods, which shall go before us : for as
for this Moses, the man that brought us
up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not
what is become of him. And I said unto 24
them, f Whosoever hath a?iy gold, let
them break it off So they gave it me :
then I cast it into the fire, and there
came out this calf And when Moses 25
saw that the people 7ticre naked; (for
Aaron shad made them naked \m\.ot/icir
shame amongst ' their enemies :) then 26
Moses stood in the gate of the camp,
and said. Who is on the Lord's side ?
let him come unto me. And all the sons
of Levi gathered themselves together un-
to him. And he said unto them, Thus 27
saith the Lord God of Israel, Put every
man his sword by his side, and go in
and out from gate to gate throughout
the camp, and •'slay every man his bro-
ther, and every man his companion, and
every man his neighbour. And the chil- 28
dren of Levi did according to the word
of Moses : and there fell of the people
that day about three thousand men.
'"For Moses had said, 'Consecrate your- 29
selves to day to the Lord, even every
man upon his son, and upon his brother;
that he may bestow upon you a blessing
this day.
And it came to pass on the morrow, 30
that Moses said unto the people, ''Ye
have sinned a great sin : and now I will
go up unto the Lord; 'peradventure I
shall ""make an atonement for your sin.
And Moses "returned unto the Lord, 31
and said, Oh, this people have sinned
a great sin, and have °made them gods
of gold. Yet now, if thou wilt forgive 32
their sinP; and if not, iblot me, I pray
thee, 'out of thy book which thou hast
written. And the Lord said unto Moses, 33
'^Whosoever hath sinned against me, him
will I blot out of my book. Therefore 34
now go, lead the people unto the place
of which I have spoken unto thee: 'be-
hold, mine Angel shall go before thee :
nevertheless in the day when I visit, I
will visit their sin upon them. And the 35
■ Lord plagued the people, because they
made the calf, which Aaron made.
And the Lord .said unto Moses, De-
part, and go up hence, thou "and the
people which thou hast brought up out
of the land of Egypt, unto the land
which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac,
and to Jacob, saying, ''Unto thy seed
2 will I give it: and I will send "^an angel
before thee; ''and I will drive out the
Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite,
and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the
3 Jebusite: ^unto a land flowing with milk
and honey: ''for I will not go up in the
midst of thee; for thou art a sstiffnecked
people: lest ''I consume thee in the
4 way. And when the people heard these
evil tidings, 'they mourned: ''and no
man did put on him his ornaments.
5 For the Lord had said unto Moses, Say
unto the children of Israel, 'Ye are a
stififnecked people: I will come up into
the midst of thee in ""a moment, and
"consume thee: therefore now put off
thy ornaments from thee, that I may
6 know what to do unto thee. And the
children of Israel stript themselves of
their ornaments by the mount Horeb.
7 And Moses took the tabernacle, and
pitched it without the camp, afar off
from the camp, "and called it the Ta-
bernacle of the Congregation. And it
came to pass, that every one which
P sought the Lord went out unto the
tabernacle of the Congregation, which
%was without the camp. And it came to
pass, when Moses went out unto the ta-
bernacle, that all the people rose up,
and stood every man '^at his tent door,
and looked after Moses, until he was
ggone into the tabernacle. And it came
to pass, as Moses entered into the ta-
bernacle, the ''cloudy pillar descended,
and stood at the door of the tabernacle,
loand the Lord ■■ talked with Moses. And
all the people saw the cloudy pillar
stand at the tabernacle door: and all
the people rose up and '^worshipped,
11 every man in his tent door. And 'the
Lord spake unto Moses face to face, as
a man speaketh unto his friend. And
he turned again into the camp: but "his
servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young
man, departed not out of the tabernacle.
12 And Moses said unto the Lord, See,
"thou sayest unto me. Bring up this
people: and thou hast not let me know
whom thou wilt send with me. Yet
thou hast said, yj know thee by name,
and thou hast also found grace in my
13 sight. Now therefore, I pray thee, =^if I
have found grace in thy sight, •''shevv me
now thy way, that I may know thee,
that I may find grace in thy sight: and
consider that this nation is ''thy people.

he said, I will make all 'my goodness
pass before thee, and I will proclaim the
name of the Lord before thee; "'and
will be "gracious to whom I will
be gracious, and will shew mercy
on whom I will shew mercy. And 20
he said. Thou canst not see my face : for
"there shall no man see me, and live.
And the Lord said, Behold, there is a 21
place by me, and thou shalt stand upon
a rock : and it shall come to pass, while =2
my glory passeth by, that I will put thee
Pin a clift of the rock, and will icover
thee with my hand while I pass by:
and I will take away mine hand, and 23
thou shalt see my back parts: but my
face shall ■'not be seen.
And the Lord said unto Moses,
*Hew thee two tables of stone like unto
the first: ''and I will write upon t/icse
tables the words that were in the first
tables, >: which thou brakest. And be 2
ready in the morning, and come up in
the morning unto mount Sinai, and pre-
sent thyself there to me ''in the top of
the mount. And no man shall =come 3
up with thee, neither let any man be
seen throughout all the mount; neither
let the flocks nor herds feed before that
mount. And he hewed two tables of 4
stone like unto the first; and Moses rose
up early in the morning, and went up
unto mount Sinai, as the Lord had com-
manded him, and took in his hand the
two tables of stone. And the Lord de- s
scended in the cloud, and stood with
him there, and fproclaimed the name of
the Lord. And the Lord passed by 6
before him, and proclaimed, sThe Lord,
The Lord God, merciful and ''gracious,
longsuffering, and abundant in 'goodness
and 'truth, ''keeping mercy for thou- 7
sands, forgiving iniquity and transgres-
sion and sin, and ^that will by no means
clear t/ie guilty; visiting the iniquity of
the fathers upon the children, and upon
the children's children, unto the third
8 and to the fourth generation. And Mo-
ses made haste, and ""bowed his head
9 toward the earth, and worshipped. And
he said. If now I have found grace in thy
sight, O Lord, "let my Lord, I pray thee,
go amongst us; for °it is a stiffnecked
people; and pardon our iniquity and our
sin, and take us for Pthine inheritance.
10 And he said. Behold, il make a cove-
nant: before all thy people I will ''do
marvels, such as have not been done in
all the earth, nor in any nation: and all
the people among which thou art shall
see the work of the Lord: for it is ^a
terrible thing that I will do with thee.
n 'Observe thou that which I command
thee this day: behold, "I drive out be-
fore thee the Amorite, and the Canaan-
ite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite,
12 and the Hivite, and the Jebusite. "Take
heed to thyself, lest thou make a cove-
nant with the inhabitants of the land
whither thou goest, lest it be for va
13 snare in the midst of thee : but ye shall
^destroy their altars, break their 'images,
14 and ^cut down their groves : for thou
shalt worship ''no other god: for the
Lord, whose '^name is Jealous, is a
15 ti jealous God: 'lest thou make a cove-
nant with the inhabitants of the land,
and they fgo a whoring after their gods,
and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one
scall thee, and thou ''eat of his sacrifice;
,6 and thou take of 'their daughters unto
thy sons, and their daughters ''go a
whoring after their gods, and make thy
sons go a whoring after their gods.
17 'Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.
isThe feast of "'unleavened bread shalt
thou keep: seven days thou shalt eat

was found "=blue, and purple, and scar-
let, and fine linen, and goats' hair^ and
red skins of rams, and badgers' skins,
brought them. Every one that did offer 24
an offering of silver and brass brought
the Lord's offering: and every man,
with whom was found shittim wood for
any work of the service, brought it.
And all the women that were f wise 25
hearted did spin with their hands, and
brought that which they had sspun, both
of blue, and of purjjle, and of scarlet,
and of fine linen. And all the women 26
''whose heart stirred them up in wisdom
Sspun goats' hair. And 'the rulers 27
brought ''ony.x stones, and stones to be
set, for the ephod, and for the breast-
plate; 'and ""spice, and oil for the light, 28
and for the anointing oil, and for the
sweet incense. The children of Israel 29
brought a "willing offering unto the Lord,
every man and woman, whose heart made
them willing to bring for all manner of
work, which the Lord had commanded
to be made by the hand of Moses.
And Moses said unto the children of 30
Israel, See, "the Lord hath called by
name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son
of Hur, of the tribe of Judah; and he 31
hath filled him loith the spirit of God, in
wisdom, in understanding, and in know-
ledge, and in all manner of workman-
ship ; and to devise curious works, to 32
work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
and in the cutting of stones, to set them, 33
and in carving of wood, to make any
manner of cunning work. And he hath 34
put in his heart that he may teach, both
he, and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach,
of the tribe of Dan. Them hath he 35
P filled 7inth wisdom of heart, to work all
manner of work, of the engraver, and of
the cunning workman, and lof the em-
broiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scar-
let, and in fine linen, and ■'of the weaver,
even of them that do any work, and of
those that devise cunning work.
Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab,
and every ^wise hearted man, in whom
the Lord put wisdom and understand-
ing to know how to work all manner of
work for the ser\-ice of the sanctuary,
according to all that the Lord had com-
manded. And Moses called Bezaleel 2
and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man,

they brought yet unto him ''free offerings "See ch. 35.
4 every morning. And all the wise men, "*
that wrought all the work of the sanctu-
ary, came every man from his work
s which they made ; and they spake unto
Moses, saying, ^The people bring much
more than enough for the service of the
work, which the Lord commanded to
6 make. And Moses gave commandment,
and they caused it to be proclaimed
throughout the camp, saying. Let neither
man nor woman make any more work
for the offering of the sanctuary. So
the people were restrained from bringing.
7 For the stuff they had was sufficient for
all the work to make it, and too much.

them that wrought the work (/the taber- '''■ '^- '"''^

twenty and eight cubits, and the breadth
of one curtain four cubits: the curtains
io7aere all of one size. And he coupled
the five curtains one unto another: and
the other five curtains he coupled one
11 unto another. And he made loops of
blue on the edge of one curtain from the
selvedge in the coupling: likewise he
made in the uttermost side of another
curtain, in the coupling of the second.
12 Fifty loops made he in one curtain, and
fifty loops made he in the edge of the
curtain which jlujs in the coupling of the
second: the loops held one curtain to
13 another. And he made fifty taches of
gold, and coupled the curtains one unto
another with the taches : so it became
14 one tabernacle. And he made curtains
(j/" goats' hair for the tent over the taber-
nacle: eleven curtains he made them.
15 The length of one curtain was thirty
cubits, and four cubits was the breadth
of one curtain : the eleven curtains were
16 of one size. And he coupled five cur-
tains by themselves, and six curtains by
17 themselves. And he made fifty loops

ten cubits, and the breadth of a board
one cubit and a half One board had 22
two tenons, "^ equally distant one from
another: thus did he make for all the
boards of the tabernacle. And he made 23
boards for the tabernacle ; twenty boards
for the south side southward : and forty 24
sockets of silver he made under the
twenty boards; two sockets under one
board for his two tenons, and two sockets
under another board for his two tenons.
And for the other side of the tabernacle, 25
7vhich is toward the north corner, he
made twenty boards, and their forty 26
sockets (y"silver; two sockets under one
board, and two sockets under another
board. And for the sides of the taber- 27
nacle westward he made six boards. And 28
two boards made he for the corners of
the tabernacle in the two sides. And 29
they were 'coupled beneath, and 'cou-
pled together at the head thereof, to one
ring: thus he did to both of them in
both the corners. And there were eight 30
boards; and their sockets were si.xteen
sockets ^silver, 'under every board two
sockets. And he made bars 'ofshittinisi
wood; five for the boards of the one side
of the tabernacle, and five bars for the 33
boards of the other side of the tabernacle,
and five bars for the boards of the taber-
nacle for the sides westward. And he 33
made the middle bar to shoot through the
boards from the one end to the other.
And he overlaid the boards with gold, and 34
made their rings of gold to be places for
the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.
•'And he made a vail lyblue, and pur- 35
pie, and scarlet, and fine twined linen:
with cherubims made he it of cunning
work. And he made thereunto four pil-36
lars of shittim 7i'ood, and overlaid them
with gold: their hooks 7i.'ere of goXdi; and
he cast for them four sockets of silver.
And he made a hanging for the taber- 37
nacle door of blue, and purple, and scar-
let, and fine twined linen, ^of needle-
work ; and the five pillars of it with their 38
hooks: and he overlaid their 'chapiters
and their 'fillets with gold: but their five
sockets were of brass.
And Bezaleel made ^the ark r?/" shittim
wood : two cubits and a half luas the
length of it, and a cubit and a half the
breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the
2 height of it : and he overlaid it with pure
gold within and without, and made a
3 cro\vn of gold to it round about. And
he cast for it four rings of gold, to be set
by the four corners of it ; even t\vo rings
upon the one side of it, and two rings
4 upon the other side of it. And he made
staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them
5 with gold. And he put the staves into
the rings by the sides of the ark, to
6 bear the ark. And he made the ''mercy
seat of pure gold : two cubits and a half
was the length thereof, and one cubit
7 and a half the breadth thereof And he
made two cherubims of gold, beaten out
of one piece made he them, "on the two J„3V &.c
sends of the mercy seat; one cherub 'on
the end on this side, and another cherub
"on the other end on that side: ''out of "Or,
the mercy seat made he the cherubims b"see chr2s.

bims spread out their wings on high, and
covered with their wings over the mercy
seat, with their faces one to another;
ej'cn to the mercy seatward were the faces
of the cherubims.

four bowls made like ahnonds, his knops,
and his flowers: and a knop under two 21
branches of the same, and a knop under
two branches of the same, and a knop
under two branches of the same, accord-

Their knops and their branches were of 2e
the same : all of it was one beaten work
of pure gold, And he made his seven 23
lamps, and his snuffers, and his snuff-
dishes, of pure gold. Of a talent ^24
pure gold made he it, and all the vessels
thereof.
'And he made the incense altar of is
shittim wood : the length of it 7oas a
cubit, and the breadth of it a cubit : //
was foursquare; and two cubits 7i.'as the
height of it; the horns thereof were of
the same. And he overlaid it with pure 26
gold, both the top of it, and the sides
thereof round about, and the horns of it :
also he made unto it a crown of gold
round about. And he made two rings of 27
gold for it under the crown thereof, by the
two corners of it, upon the two sides there-
of, to be places for the staves to bear it
withal. And he made the staves of shit- 28
tim wood, and overlaid them with gold.
And he made 'the holy anointing oil, 29
and 8 the pure incense of sweet spices,
according to the work of the apothecary.
And •■'he made the altar of burnt offer-
ing <;/ shittim wood: five cubits was the
length thereof, and five cubits the breadth
thereof; // was foursciuare; and three
cubits the height thereof. And he made 2
the horns thereof on the four corners of

and he overlaid it with brass. And he 3
made all the vessels of the altar, the
pots, and the shovels, and the basons,
and the fleshhooks, and the firepans:
all the vessels thereof made he of brass.
And he made for the altar a brasen 4
grate of network under the compass there-
of beneath unto the midst of it. And he 5
cast four rings for the four ends of the
grate of brass, to be places for the staves.
And he made the staves (>/" shittim wood, 6
and overlaid them with brass. And he 7
put the staves into the rings on the sides
of the altar, to bear it withal; he made
the altar hollow with boards. And he a
made ''the laver (j/" brass, and the foot of
it of brass, of the "looking-glasses of the
women 'assembling, which 'assembled at
the door of the tabernacle of the con-
gregation.
9 And he made '^the court: on the south
side southward the hangings of the court
icere of fine twined linen, an huntlred

brasen sockets twenty; the hooks of the
11 pillars and their fillets rctvtvysilver. And

21 This is the sum of the tabernacle, even
of ''the tabernacle of Testimony, as it
was counted, according to the command-
ment of Moses, for the service of the
Levites, f by the hand of Ithamar, son to
22 Aaron the priest. And sBezaleel the
son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe
of Judah, made all that the Lord com-

they made coats 0/ fine Hnen of woven

Thus was all the work of the taber-33
nacle of the tent of the congregation
finished : and the children of Israel did

manded Closes, so did they. And they 33
brought the tabernacle unto Moses, the

staves, and all his vessels, the laver and
his foot, ''the hangings of the court, his^o
pillars, and his sockets, and ^the hang-
ing for the court gate, 'his cords, and
his pins, and all the vessels of the ser-
vice of the tabernacle, for the tent of
the congregation, the clothes of service 41
to do service in the holy place, and the
holy garments for Aaron the priest, and
his sons' garments, to minister in the
priest's office. According to all that the 42
Lord commanded Moses, so "the chil-
dren of Israel made all the work. And 43
Moses did look upon all the work, and
behold, they had done it as the Lord
had commanded, even so had they done
it: and Moses >■■ blessed them.
And the Lord spake unto Moses,
saying. On the first day of the ^first 2
month shalt thou ''set up the tabernacle
3 of the tent of the congregation. And
thou shalt put therein the ark of the
Testimony, and '^ cover the ark with the
4 vail. And ''thou shalt bring in the table,
and set in order *the things that are to
be set in order upon it; '=and thou shalt
bring in the candlestick, and light the
s lamps thereof i" And thou shalt set the
altar of gold for the incense before the
ark of the Testimony, and put the hang-
6 ing of the door to the tabernacle. sAnd
thou shalt set the altar of the burnt
offering before the door of the taber-
nacle of the tent of the congregation.
7 And '•thou shalt set the laver between
the tent of the congregation and the
s altar, and shalt put water therein. And
thou shalt set up the court round about,
and hang up the hanging at the court
agate. And thou shalt take the anoint-
ing oil, and 'anoint the tabernacle, and
all that is therein, and shalt hallow it,
and all the vessels thereof: and it shall
10 be holy. And thou shalt anoint ''the
altar of the burnt offering, and all his
vessels, and sanctify the altar: and it
11 shall be an altar *most holy. And thou
shalt anoint ''the laver and his foot, and
12 sanctify it. 'And thou shalt bring Aaron
and his sons unto the door of the taber-
nacle of the congregation, and wash
■3 them with water. And thou shalt put
upon Aaron the holy garments, "and
anoint him, and sanctify him; that he
may minister unto me in the priest's
14 office. And thou shalt bring his sons,
■sand clothe them with coats: and thou
shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint
their father, that they may minister unto
me in the priest's office: for their anoint-
ing shall surely be "an everlasting priest-
16 hood throughout their generations. Thus
did Moses : according to all that the Lord
commanded him, so did he.
17 And it came to pass in the first month
in the second year, on the first day of
the month, that the "tabernacle was
18 reared up. And Moses reared up the ta-
bernacle, and fastened his sockets, and
set up the boards thereof, and put in
the bars thereof, and reared up his pil-
iglars. And he spread abroad the tent
over the tabernacle, and put the cover-
ing of the tent above upon it; as the
20 Lord commanded Moses. And he took
and put Pthe Testimony into the ark,
and set the staves on the ark, and put
21 the mercy seat above upon the ark: and
he brought the ark into the tabernacle,

fore the vail: and he burnt y sweet in- 27
cense thereon ; as the Lord commanded
Moses. ^And he set up the hanging at 28
the door of the tabernacle. ^ And he 29
put the altar of burnt offering l>y the
door of the tabernacle of the tent of the
congregation, and offered upon it the
burnt offering and ''the meat offering;
as the Lord commanded Moses. "^And 30
he set the laver between the tent of the
congregation and the altar, and put
31 water there, to wash withal. And Mo-
ses and Aaron and his sons washed their
32 hands and their feet thereat : when they
went into the tent of the congregation,
and when they came near unto the altar,
they washed; ''as the Lord commanded
33 Moses. ^And he reared up the court
round about the tabernacle and the altar,
and set up the hanging of the court gate.
So Moses finished the work.
34 Then fa cloud covered the tent of the
congregation, and ethe glory of the Lord
35 filled the tabernacle. And Moses swas
not able to enter into the tent of the
congregation, because the cloud abode
thereon, and the glory of the Lord filled
36 the tabernacle. ''And when the cloud
was taken up from over the tabernacle,
the children of Israel 'went onward in
37 all their journeys: but 'if the cloud were
not taken up, then they journeyed not
38 till the day that it was taken up. For
the cloud of the Lord was upon the
tabernacle by day, and fire was on it
by night, in the sight of all the house of
Israel, throughout all their journeys.

AND the Lord ^called unto Moses, and
- spake unto him •'out of the taber-
nacle of the congregation, saying, Speak 2
unto the children of Israel, and say unto
them, <^If any man of you bring an offer-
ing unto the Lord, ye shall bring your
offering of the cattle, ez'eu of the herd,
and of the flock. If his offering l>e a. 3
burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer
a male ^without blemish: he shall offer
it of his o\\Ti voluntary will at the door
of the tabernacle of the congregation be-
fore the Lord. ^^And he shall put his 4
hand upon the head of the burnt offer-
ing; and it shall be ""accepted for him
sto make atonement for him. And he 5
shall kill the bullock before the Lord:
and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall bring
the blood, iiand sprinkle the blood round
about upon the altar that is by the door
of the tabernacle of the congregation.
And he shall •'flay the burnt oflering, 6
and cut it into his 'pieces. And the sons 7
of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon
the altar, and May the wood in order
upon the fire: and the priests, Aaron's 8
sons, shall lay "the parts, the head, and
''the fat, in order upon the wood that is
on the fire which is upon the altar : but 9
'his inwards and his legs shall he wash
in water: and the priest shall burn all
on the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, ""an
offering made by fire, of a "sweet savour
unto the Lord. And if his offering A: 10

the goats, for a burnt sacrifice; he shall
bring it a male without blemish. "And n
he shall kill it on the side of the altar
northward before the Lord: and the
priests, Aaron's sons, shall sprinkle his
blood round about upon the altar. And 12
he shall cut it into his 'pieces, with his
head and his fat : and the priest shall lay
them in order on the wood that is on
13 the fire which is upon the altar : but he
shall wash the inwards and the legs with
water: and the priest shall bring // all,
and bum // upon the altar: it is a burnt
sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a
14 sweet savour unto the Lord. And if
the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the
Lord be of fowls, then he shall bring his
offering of p turtledoves, or of young
15 pigeons. And the priest shall bring it
unto the altar, and 'wring off his head,

thereof shall be wrung out at the side of

be guilty in one of these things, that he

which he hath sinned, a female from the
flock, a lamb or a kid of the goats, for a
sin offering; and the priest shall make
an atonement for him concerning his
7 sin. And 'if 'he be not able to bring
a lamb, then he shall bring for his tres-
pass, which he hath committed, two
''turtledoves, or two young pigeons, un-
to the Lord; one for a sin oftering, and
8 the other for a burnt offering. And he
shall bring them unto the priest, who
shall offer that which is for the sin offer-
ing first, and 'wring off" his head from
his neck, but 'shall not divide it asunder:
9 and he shall sprinkle of the blood of
the sin oftering upon the side of the
altar; and "'the rest of the blood shall
be wrung out "at the bottom of the

offer the second for a burnt oftering, ac-
cording to the "manner: "and the priest
shall make an atonement for him for his
sin which he had sinned, and it shall
11 be forgiven him. But if he be not able
to bring two turtledoves, or two young
pigeons, then he that sinned shall bring
for his oftering Pthe tenth part of an
ephah of fine flour for a sin oftering;
Phe shall put no oil upon it, neither
shall he put any frankincense thereon :
12 for it is a sin oftering. Then shall he
bring it to the priest, and ithe priest

For '■the wave breast and the heave 34
shoulder have I taken of the children of
Israel from off the sacrifices of their
peace offerings, and have given them
unto Aaron the priest and unto his sons
by a statute for ever from among the
children of Israel.
This is the portion of the anointing of 35
Aaron, and of the anointing of his sons,
out of the offerings of the Lord made
by fire, in the day when he presented
them to minister unto the Lord in the
priest's office ; which the Lord com- 36
manded to be given them of the children
of Israel, 'in the day that he anointed
them, by a statute for ever throughout
their generations. This is the law '=of37
the burnt offering, 'of the meat ofiering,
"and of the sin offering, "and of the
trespass ofiering, "and of the consecra-
tions, and Pof the sacrifice of the peace
offerings ; which the Lord commanded 38
Moses in mount Sinai, in the day that he
commanded the children of Israel '^Xo
offer their oblations unto the Lord, in
the wilderness of Sinai.
And the Lord spake unto Moses, say-
ing, ^Take Aaron and his sons with him, 3
and ''the garments, and "^the anointing
oil, and ''a bullock yi^r the sin offering,
and two rams, and a basket of unleavened
bread; and gather thou all the congre- 3
gation together unto the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation. And 4
Moses did as the Lord commanded
him ; and the assembly was gathered to-
gether unto the door of the tabernacle
of the congregation. And Moses said 5
unto the congi'egation, =This is the thing
which the Lord commanded to be done.
And Moses brought Aaron and his sons, 6
"=and washed them with water. ^And 7
he put upon him the scoat, and girded
him with the girdle, and clothed him
with the robe, and put the ephod upon
him, and he girded him with the curious
girdle of the ephod, fand bound it unto
8 him therewith. And he put the breast-
plate upon him: also he ''put in the
breastjjlate the Urim and the Thummim.
9 'And he put the mitre upon his head;
also ''upon the mitre, ej<en upon his
forefront, did he put the golden plate,
the holy crown ; as the Lord command-
10 ed Moses. '.\nd Moses took the anoint-
ing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and
all that was therein, and sanctified them.
11 .\nd he sprinkled thereof upon the altar
seven times, and anointed the altar and
all his vessels, both the laver and his
12 foot, to sanctify them. And he '"pour-
ed of the anointing oil upon Aaron's
head, and anointed him, to sanctify him.
13 "And Moses brought Aaron's sons, and
put coats upon them, and girded them
li'ith girdles, and *put bonnets upon them ;
14 as the Lord commanded Moses. "And
he brought the bullock yy/- the sin offer-
ing: and Aaron and his sons Plaid their
hands upon the head of the bullock_/<)r
15 the sin ofiering. And he slew it ; land
Moses took the blood, and put it upon
the horns of the altar round about with
his finger, and purified the altar, and
poured the blood at the bottom of the
altar, and sanctified it, to make recon-
i6ciliation upon it. ''And he took all the
fat that li'os upon the inwards, and the
caul aliovc the liver, and the two kidneys,
and their fat, and Moses burned // upon
17 the altar. But the bullock, and his hide,
his flesh, and his dung, he burnt with
fire without the camp ; as the Lord '^com-
is manded Moses. 'And he brought the
ram for the burnt ofiering: and Aaron
and his sons laid their hands upon the
19 head of the ram. And he killed it; and
Moses sprinkled the blood upon the
20 altar round about. And be cut the ram
into pieces; and Moses burnt the head,
21 and the pieces, and "the fat. And he
washed the inwards and the legs in water;
and Moses burnt the whole ram upon
the altar: it luas a burnt sacrifice for a
sweet savour, and an offering made by
fire unto the Lord; as the Lord com-
22 manded Moses. And 'he brought the
other ram, the ram of consecration : and
Aaron and his sons laid their hands up-
23 on the head of the ram. And he slew //;
and Moses took of the blood of it, and

right ear, and upon the thumbs of their
right hands, and upon the great toes of
their right feet : and Moses sprinkled
the blood upon the altar round about.
"And he took the fat, and the rump, 25
and all the fat that teas upon the in-
wards, and the caul above the liver, and
the two kidneys, and their fat, and the
right shoulder: ^and out of the basket 26
of unleavened bread, that 7vas before the
Lord, he took one unleavened cake,
and a cake of oiled bread, and one
wafer, and put t/ieiii on the fat, and upon
the right shoulder: and he put all 2up-27
on Aaron's hands, and upon his sons'
hands, and waved Xhtm. for a wave ofi'er-
ing before the Lord. ^\nd Moses took 28
them from off their hands, and burnt
them on the altar upon the burnt offer-
ing: they 7vere consecrations for a sweet
savour: it is an offering made by fire
unto the Lord. And Moses took the 29
breast, and waved it for a wave offering
before the Lord : for of the ram of con-
secration it was Moses' ''part; as the
Lord commanded Moses. And "^ Moses 30
took of the anointing oil, and of the
blood which 7C'as upon the altar, and
sprinkled it upon Aaron, and upon his
garments, and upon his sons, and upon
his sons' gannents with him ; and sancti-
fied Aaron, and his garments, and his
sons, and his sons' garments with him.
And Moses said unto Aaron and to 31
his sons, ''Boil the flesh at the door of
the tabernacle of the congregation: and
there eat it with the bread that is in the
basket of consecrations, as I command-
ed, saying, Aaron and his sons shall eat
it. ^And that which remaineth of the 32
flesh and of the bread shall ye burn with
fire. And ye shall not go out of the 33
door of the tabernacle of the congrega-
tion in seven days, until the days of your
consecration be at an end: for f seven
days shall he consecrate you. As he 34
hath done this day, so the Lord hath
commanded to do, to make an atone-
ment for you. Therefore shall ye abide 35
at the door of the tabernacle of the con-
gregation day and night seven days, and
skeep the charge of the Lord, that
ye die not: for so I am commanded.
So Aaron and his sons did all things 36
whicli the Lord commanded by the
hand of Moses.
And ■''it came to pass on the eighth
day, t/iat Moses called Aaron and his
sons, and the elders of Israel; and he a
said unto Aaron, '=Take thee a young
calf for a sin oflering, '^and a ram for
a burnt offering, without blemish, and
3 offer thi-in before the Lord. And unto
the children of Israel thou shall speak,
saying, ''Take ye a kid of the goats for
a sin offering; and a calf and a lamb,
both of the first year, without blemish,
4 for a burnt offering; also '^'a bullock and
a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice
before the Lord; and fa meat offering
mingled with oil: for sto day the Lord
5 will appear unto you. And they brought
that which Moses commanded before
the tabernacle of the congregation: and
all the congregation drew near and stood
6 before the Lord. And Moses said. This
is the thing which the Lord command-
ed that ye should do : and the glory of
7 the Lord shall appear unto you. And
Moses said unto Aaron, Go unto the
altar, and offer ''thy sin offering, and '' thy
burnt offering, and make an atonement
for thyself, and for the people : and
'offer the offering of the people, and
make an atonement for them; as the
Lord commanded.
8 Aaron therefore went unto the altar,
and slew the calf of the sin offering,
9 which laas for himself ''And the sons
of Aaron brought the blood unto him :
and he dipt his finger in the blood,
and 'put // upon the horns of the altar,
and poured out the blood at the bottom
10 of the altar: ""but the fat, and the kid-
neys, and the caul above the liver of the
sin offering, he burnt upon the altar;
n "as the Lord commanded Moses. "And
the flesh and the hide he burnt with fire
12 without the camp. And he slew the
burnt offering; and Aaron's sons pre-
sented unto him the blood, Pwhich he
sprinkled round about upon the altar.
13 1 And they presented the burnt offering
unto him, with the pieces thereof, and
the head: and he burnt them upon the
14 altar. ■'And he did wash the inwards
and the legs, and burnt them upon the
burnt offering on the altar.
15 ^And he brought the people's offer-
ing, and took the goat, which 7C'as the
sin offering for the people, and slew it,
16 and 'offered it for sin, as the first. And
he brought the burnt offering, and ofier-
17 ed it according to the 'manner. And he
brought "the meat offering, and 'took
a handful thereof, and burnt // upon
the altar, ''beside the burnt sacrifice of
18 the morning. He slew also the bullock

and the ram /or va sacrifice of peace of-
ferings, whicli 7C'as for the people: and
Aaron's sons presented unto him the
blood, which he sprinkled upon the altar
round about, and the fat of the bullock 19
and of the ram, the nmip, and that which
covereth ^tAe hnuards, and the kidneys,
and the caul above the liver : and they 20
put the fat upon the breasts, and he
burnt the fat upon the altar: and the 21
breasts and the right shoulder Aaron
waved ^/or a wave offering before the
Lord; as Moses commanded.
And Aaron ''lift up his hand to- 2:
wards the people, and "^blessed them, and
came down from otifering of the sin otter-
ing, and the burnt offering, and peace
offerings. And Moses and Aaron went 23
into the tabernacle of the congregation,
and came out, and blessed the people :
"^and the glory of the Lord appeared
unto all the people. And "= there came 24
a fire out from before the Lord, and
consumed upon the altar the burnt of-
fering and the fat : which when all the
people saw, fthey shouted, and sfell on
their faces.
And •■'Nadab and Abihu, the sons of
Aaron, ''took either of them his censer,
and put fire therein, and put incense
thereon, and offered '^strange fire before
the Lord, which he commanded them
not. And there '^went out fire from the 2
Lord, and devoured them, and they died
before the Lord. Then Moses said un- 3
to Aaron, This is it that the Lord spake,
saying, I will be sanctified in them
= that come nigh me, and before all the
people I will be f glorified. sAnd Aaron
held his peace. And Moses called Mi- 4
shael and Elzaphan, the sons of ''Uzziel
the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them,
Come near, carry your 'brethren from
before the sanctuary out of the camp.
So they went near, and carried them in 5
their coats out of the camp; as Moses
had said. And Moses said unto Aaron, e
and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar his
sons, ''Uncover not your heads, neither
rend your clothes ; lest you die, and lest
'wrath come upon all the people: but
let your brethren, the whole house of
Israel, bewail the burning which the
Lord hath kindled. "And ye shall not 7
go out from the door of the tabernacle
of the congiegation, lest you die : "for the
anointing oil of the Lord is upon you.
And they did according to the word of
Moses.
8 And the Lord spake unto Aaron, say-
9 ing, ° Do not drink wine nor strong
drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee,
when ye go into the tabernacle of the
congregation, lest ye die: it shall be a
statute for ever throughout your gene-
10 rations: and thatj'f may Pput difference
between holy and unholy, and between
11 unclean and clean; land that ye may
teach the children of Israel all the sta-
tutes which the Lord hath spoken unto
them by the hand of Moses.
12 And Moses spake unto Aaron, and
unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar his sons
that were left. Take ■'the meat offer-
ing that remaineth of the offerings of
the Lord made by fire, and eat it
without leaven ^beside the altar: for 'it
13 w most holy: and ye shall eat it in the
holy place, because it is thy due, and
thy sons' due, of the sacrifices of the
Lord made by fire: for "so I am com-
i4manded. And "the wave breast and
heave shoulder shall ye eat in a clean
place ; thou, and thy .sons, and thy
daughters with thee : for they be thy due,
and thy sons' due, i^'hich are given out of
the sacrifices of peace ofterings of the
15 children of Israel. The heave shoulder
and the wave breast shall they bring with
the ofterings made by fire of the fat, to
wave it for a wave offering before the
Lord; and it shall be thine, and thy
sons' with thee, by a statute for ever; as
the Lord hath commanded.
16 And Moses diligently sought >'the
goat of the sin offering, and behold, it
was burnt: and he was angry with Elea-
zar and Ithamar the sons of Aaron which
17 were left alive, saying, ^Wherefore have
ye not eaten the sin oftering in the holy
place, seeing it is most holy, and God
hath given it you to bear the iniquity of
the congregation, to make atonement for
isthem before the Lord? Behold, *the
blood of it was not brought in ''within
the holy place: ye should indeed have
eaten it in the holy place, '^as I com-
iQmanded. And Aaron said unto Moses,
Behold, '^this day have they offered their
sin offering and their burnt off'ering be-
fore the Lord; and such things have
befallen me: and if I had eaten the sin
oflfering to day, should it have been ac-
2ocepted in the sight of the Lord? And
when Moses heard that, he was content.
And the Lord spake unto Moses and
2 to Aaron, saying unto them. Speak unto
the children of Israel, saying, ''These

Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is 3
clovenfooted, a>/d cheweth cud, among
the beasts, that shall ye eat. Never- 4
theless these shall ye not eat of them
that chew the cud, or of them that
divide the hoof: as the camel, because

''the cony, because he cheweth the cud,
but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean

swine, though he divide the hoof, and
de clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the
cud ; "^he is unclean to you. Of their flesh 8
shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall
ye not touch ; they are unclean to you.
These shall ye eat of all that are in 9
the waters: whatsoever hath fins and
■^scales in the waters, in the seas, and in
the rivers, them shall ye eat. And all 10
that have not fins nor scales in the seas,
and in the rivers, of all that move in the
waters, and of any living thing which is
in the waters, they s/za// be an *= abomi-
nation unto you: they shall be even an n
^^abomination unto you: ye shall not eat
of their flesh, but you shall have their
carcases in abomination. Whatsoever 12
hath no fins nor scales in the waters,
that shall he an "^abomination unto you.
And these are they which ye shall 13
have in abomination among the fowls;
they shall not be eaten, they are an
"^abomination: the eagle, and the ossi-
frage, and the ospray, and the vulture, 14
and the kite after his kind; every f raven 15
after his kind ; and the owl, and the 16
night hawk, and the cuckow, and the
E hawk after his kind, and the ^ little owl, 17
and the cormorant, and the great owl,
and the swan, and the 'pelican, and theis
gier eagle, and the stork, the heron after 19
her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
All fowls that creep, going upon allia
four, shall be an "^abomination unto you.
Yet these may ye eat of every flyings
creeping thing that goeth upon all four,
which have legs above their feet, to leap
withal ujjon the earth; even these ofj^
them ye may eat; ''the locust after his
kind, and the bald locust after his kind,
and the beetle after his kind, and the
grasshopper after his kind. But all other ^^
flying creeping things, which have four
feet, shall be an abomination unto you.
24 And for these ye shall be unclean : who-
soever toucheth the carcase of them shall
25 be unclean until the even. And who-
soever beareth ow^ht of the carcase of
them 'shall wash his clothes, and be un-
26 clean until the even. The carcases of
every beast which divideth the hoof, and
is not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud,
are unclean unto you : every one that
27 toucheth them shall be unclean. And
whatsoever goeth upon his paws, among
all manner of beasts that go on all four,
those (7 re unclean unto you : whoso touch-
eth their carcase shall be unclean until
28 the even. And he that beareth the car-
case of them shall wash his clothes, and
be unclean until the even: they are un-
clean unto you.
29 These also shall be unclean unto you
among the creeping things that creep
upon the earth; the weasel, and "'the
mouse, and the tortoise after his kind,
30 and the ferret, and the chameleon, and
the lizard, and the snail, and the mole.
31 These are unclean to you among all that
creep : whosoever doth touch them, when

32 even. And upon whatsoever any of
them, when they are dead, doth fall, it
shall be unclean ; whether // be any ves-
sel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack,

vessel, whereinto any of them falleth,
whatsoever is in it shall be unclean; and

may be eaten, that on which such water
cometh shall be unclean: and all drink
that may be drunk in every such ves-

leprosy is in, whether it be a woollen
garment, or a linen garment; whether it ^i
be in the warjD, or woof; of linen, or of
M-Qollen; whether in a skin, or in any
•thing made of skin; and //"the plague 49
be Pgreenish or reddish in the gannent,
or in the skin, either in the warp, or in

a plague of leprosy, and shall be shewed
unto the priest: and the priest shall look 50
upon the plague, and shut up it that
hath the plague seven days: and he shall 51
look on the plague on the seventh day :
if the plague be spread in the garment,
either in the v.-arp, or in the woof, or in
a skin, or in any work that is made of
skin; the plague is ia fretting leprosy;
it is unclean. He shall therefore burn 52
that garment, whether warp or woof, in
woollen or in linen, or any thing of skin,
wherein the plague is : for it is a fretting
leprosy; it shall be burnt in the fire.
And if the priest shall look, and be- 53
hold, the plague be not spread in the
garment, either in the warp, or in the
woof, or in any thing of skin; then the 54
priest shall command that they wash the
thing wherein the plague is, and he shall
shut it up seven days more : and the 55
priest shall look on the plague, after
that it is washed: and behold, if the
plague have not changed his colour, and
the plague be not spread; it is unclean;
thou shalt burn it in the fire; it is fret
inward, ^whether it be bare within or
without. And if the priest look, and s6
behold, the plague be somewhat dark
after the washing of it; then he shall
rend it out of the garment, or out of the
skin, or out of the warp, or out of the
woof: and if it appear still in the gar- 57
ment, either in the warp, or in the woof,
or in any thing of skin ; it ?j a spread-

the plague is with fire. And the gar- 5s
ment, either warp, or woof, or whatso-
ever thing of skin it be, which thou shalt
wash, if the plague be departed from
them, then it shall be washed the second
59 time, and shall be clean. This is the
law of the plague of leprosy in a gar-
ment of woollen or linen, either /;/ the
warp, or woof, or any thing of skins, to
pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it
unclean.
And the Lord spake unto Moses,
2 saying. This shall be the law of the leper
in the day of his cleansing: He =• shall
3 be brought unto the priest: and the
priest shall go forth out of the camp;
and the priest shall look, and behold, if
the plague of leprosy be healed in the
4 leper; then shall the priest command to
take for him that is to be cleansed two
'birds alive (7w/ clean, and •'cedar wood,
sand "^scarlet, and '•hyssop: and the priest
shall command that one of the birds be
killed in an earthen vessel over running
6 water: as for the living bird, he shall
take it, and the cedar wood, and the
scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip
them and the living bird in the blood
of the bird that 'ivas killed over the run-
7ning water: and he shall <^sprinkle upon
him that is to be cleansed from the
leprosy f seven times, and shall pro-
nounce him clean, and shall let the
living bird loose *into the open field.
8 And he that is to be cleansed Eshall
wash his clothes, and shave off all his
hair, and wash himstif in water, that he
may be clean: and after that he shall
come into the camp, and •'shall tarry
9 abroad out of his tent seven days. But
it shall be on the seventh day, that he
shall shave all his hair off his head and
his beard and his eyebrows, even all his
hair he shall shave off: and he shall
wash his clothes, also he shall wash his
flesh in water, and he shall be clean.
10 And on the eighth day he shall take
two he lambs without blemish, and one
ewe lamb 'of the first year without ble-
mish, and three tenth deals of fine flour
far 'a meat offering, mingled with oil,
11 and one log of oil. And the priest that
maketh him clean shall present the man
that is to be made clean, and those
things, before the Lord, at the door of

And ''if a woman have an issue, and i^
her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall
be 'put apart seven days: and whoso-
ever toucheth her shall be unclean until
the even. 'And every th'uig that she 20
lieth upon in her separation shall be
unclean : every thing also that she sitteth
upon shall be unclean. And whosoever 21
toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes,
and bathe himself in water, and be un-

toucheth any thing that she sat upon
shall wash his clothes, and bathe him-
self in water, and be unclean until the
even. And if it be on her bed, or on 23
any thing whereon she sitteth, W'hen he
touchedr it, he shall be unclean until
the even. And "if any man lie with 24
her at all, and her flowers be upon him,
he shall be unclean seven days; and all
the bed whereon he lieth shall be un-
clean. And if "a woman have an issue 25
of her blood many days out of the time
of her separation, or if it run beyond
the time of her separation ; all the days
of the issue of her uncleanness shall be
as the days of her separation : she shall
be unclean. Every bed whereon she 26
lieth all the days of her issue shall be
unto her as the bed of her separation:
and whatsoever she sitteth upon shall
be unclean, as the uncleanness of her
separation. And whosoever toucheth 27
those things shall be unclean, and shall
wash his clothes, and bathe himself in
water, and be unclean until the even.
But °if she be cleansed of her issue, 28
then she shall number to herself seven
days, and after that she shall be clean.
And on the eighth day she shall take 29
unto her two p turtles, or two young
pigeons, and bring them unto the priest,
to the door of the tabernacle of the
congi'egation. And the priest shall ofter 30
the one for a sin offering, and the other
for a burnt offering; and the priest shall
make an atonement for her before the
Lord for the issue of her uncleanness.
Thus shall ye separate the children of 31
Israel from their uncleanness; that they
die not in their uncleanness, when they
1 defile my tabernacle that is among
them. This is the law 'of him that 32
hath an issue, ^and of him whose seed
goeth from him, and is defiled there-
with; 'and of her that is sick of her 33
flowers, and 'of him that hath an issue,
of the man, "and of the woman, ^and
of him that lieth with her which is un-
clean.
And the Lord spake unto Moses after
''the death of the two sons of Aaron,
when they offered before the Lord, and
2 died; and the Lord said unto Moses,
Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he
''come not at all times into the holy
place within the vail before the mercy
seat, which is upon the ark ; that he die
not: for "=1 will appear in the cloud upon
3 the mercy seat. Thus shall Aaron come
into the YioXy place: ''with a young bul-
lock for a sin offering, and "^a ram for a
4 burnt offering. He shall put on fthe
holy linen coat, and he sliall have the
linen breeches upon his flesh, and shall
be girded with a linen girdle, and with
the linen mitre shall he be attired : these
are holy garments; therefore s shall he
wash his flesh in water, and so put them
son. And he shall take of ''the congre-
gation of the children of Israel two kids
of the goats for a sin offering, and one
6 ram for a burnt offering. And Aaron
shall offer his bullock of the sin ofler-
ing, which is for himself, and make an
atonement 'for himself, and for his house.
7 And he shall take the two goats, and
present them before the Lord at the
door of the tabernacle of the congrega-
stion. And Aaron shall cast lots upon
the two goats; one lot for the Lord, and
9 the other lot for the 'scapegoat. And
Aaron shall bring the goat upon which
the Lord's lot 'fell, and offer him yy/- a
10 sin oflering. But the goat, on which the
lot fell to be the scapegoat, shall be pre-
sented alive before the Lord, to make
an atonement with him, and to let him
go for a scapegoat into the wilderness.
11 And Aaron shall bring ''the bullock of
the sin oflering, which if for himself,
and shall make an atonement for him-
self, and for his house, and shall kill the
bullock of the sin offering which is for
12 himself: and he shall take 'a censer full
of burning coals of fire from oft" the altar
before the Lord, and his hands full of
""sweet incense beaten small, and bring
13 /if within the vail: "and he shall put the
incense upon the fire before the Lord,

And the priest ''shall sprinkle the blood e
upon the altar of the Lord at the door
of the tabernacle of the congregation,
and burn the fat "^for a sweet savour
unto the Lord. And they shall no 7
more offer their sacrifices funto devils,

This shall be a statute for ever unto

thou shalt say unto them, Whatsoever

of the strangers which sojourn among
you, 'Hhat otfereth a burnt offering or
sacrifice, and 'bringeth it not unto the 9
door of the tabernacle of the congrega-

And whatsoever man there be of the 10
house of Israel, or of the strangers that

face against that soul that eateth blood,
and will cut him ofl' from among his
people. "'For the life of the flesh is inn
the blood: and I have given it to you
upon the altar "to make an atonement
for your souls: for "it is the blood that
maketh an atonement for the soul.
Therefore I said unto the children of 12
Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood,
neither shall any stranger that sojourn-

Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn

the life of all flesh; the blood of it is
for the life thereof: therefore I said unto
the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the
blood of no manner of flesh : for the life
of all flesh is the blood thereof: whoso-
ever eateth it shall be cut off. ^And is
every soul that eateth 'that which died
of itself, or 'that which was torn with
beasts, whether it be "one of your own
country, or a stranger, -^he shall both
wasli his clothes, vand bathe himself in
water, and be unclean until the even:
then shall he be clean. But if he wash 16
them not, nor bathe his flesh; then ^he
shall bear his iniquity.

And the Lord spake unto Moses,
saying. Speak unto all the congregation
of the children of Israel, and say unto
them, ='Ye shall be holy: for I the Lord
your God am holy. ''Ye shall fear every
man his mother, and his father, and
■^keep my sabbaths: I am the Lord
your God. Turn ye not unto ^ idols,
=nor make to yourselves molten gods:
I am the Lord your God.
And Hf ye off"er a sacrifice of peace
offerings unto the Lord, ye shall offer it
Sat your own will. It shall be eaten
the saf?ie day ye offer it, and on the
morrow: and if ought remain until the
third day, it shall be burnt in the fire.
And if it be eaten at all on the third
day, it is ''abominable; it shall not be
8 accepted. Therefore erery one that eat-
eth it 'shall bear his iniquity, because
he hath profaned the hallowed thing of
the Lord: and ''that soul shall be cut
off from among his people.
9 And 'when ye reap the harvest of
your land, thou shalt not wholly reap
the corners of thy field, neither shalt
thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest.
10 And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard,
neither shalt thou gather ei'ery grape of
thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for
the poor and stranger: I am the Lord
11 your God. "Ye shall not steal, "nei-
ther deal falsely, neither lie one to an-
12 other. And ye shall not "swear by my
name falsely, Pneither shalt thou profane
the name of thy God : I am the Lord.
13 Thou shalt not idefraud thy neighbour,
neither rob him: '^the wages of him that
is hired shall not abide with thee all
14 night until the morning. Thou shalt
not ''curse the deaf, 'nor put a stum-
blingblock before the blind, but shalt
15 "fear thy God: I am the Lord. *Ye
shall do no unrighteousness in judg-
ment: thou shalt not respect the person
of the poor, nor honour the person of
the might}': but in righteousness shalt
16 thou judge thy neighbour. ''Thou shalt
not go up and down as a talebearer
among thy people: neither shalt thou
y stand against the blood of thy neigh-
i7bour: I am the Lord. ^Thou shalt not
hate thy brother in thine heart: •''thou
shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour,
18 'and not suffer sin upon him. ""Thou
shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge
against the children of thy people, but
■^thou shalt love thy neighbour as
thyself: I am the Lord.
19 Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou
shalt not let thy catde gender with a
diverse kind: ''thou shalt not sow thy
field with mingled seed: "neither shall a
garment mingled of hnen and woollen
20 come upon thee. And whosoever lieth
carnally with a woman that is a bond-
maid, ''betrothed to a husband, and
not at all redeemed, nor freedom given
her; "she shall be scourged, they shall
not be put to death, because she was not
21 free. And fhe shall bring his trespass
offering unto the Lord, unto the door
of the tabernacle of the congregation,

because ™it is his food. "That which 8
dieth of itself, or is torn with beasts, he
shall not eat to defile ///otj'c// therewith :
I am the Lord. They shall therefore 9
keep mine ordinance, °lest they bear sin
for it, and die therefore, if they profane
it : I the Lord do sanctify them.
PThere shall no stranger eat of the 10
holy thing: a sojourner of the priest's, or
a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy
thing. But if the priest buy any soul n
'with his money, he shall eat of it, and
he that is born in his house: ithey shall
eat of his meat. If the priest's daughter 12
also be married unto 'a stranger, she may
not eat of an 1 offering of the holy things.
But if the priest's daughter be a widow, 13
or divorced, and have no child, and is
"■returned unto her father's house, ^as /;/
her youth, she shall eat of her father's
meat: but there shall no stranger eat
thereof. 'And if a man eat of the holy 14
thing unwittingly, then he shall put the
fifth part thereof unto it, and shall give
it unto the priest with the holy thing.
15 And "they shall not profane the holy
things of the children of Israel, which
1 5 they offer unto the Lord; or 'suffer
them ^to bear the iniquity of trespass,
when they eat their holy things: for I
the Lord do sanctify them.
17 And the Lord spake unto Moses, say-
18 ing. Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons,
and unto all the children of Israel, and
say unto them, ^Whatsoever he be of the
house of Israel, or of the strangers in Is-
rael, that will offer his oblation for all
his \'ows, and for all his freewill offer-
ings, which they will offer unto the Lord
19 for a burnt offering; ^ye shall offer 3X your
own will a male without blemish, of the
beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats.
^a^But whatsoever hath a blemish, that
shall ye not offer: for it shall not be ac-
21 ceptable for you. And •'whosoever offer-
eth a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the
Lord "=to accomplish his vow, or a free-
will offering in beeves or "sheep, it shall
be perfect to be accepted ; there shall be
22 no blemish therein. '•Blind, or broken,
or maimed, or having a wen, or <= scurvy,
or « scabbed, ye shall not offer these un-
to the Lord, nor make 'an oftering by
fire of them upon the altar unto the Lord.
23 Either a bullock or a "lamb that hath
any thing s superfluous or lacking in his
parts, that mayest thou offer for a free-
will offering; but for a vow it shall not be
24 accepted. Ye shall not offer unto the
Lord that which is bruised, or crushed,
or broken, or cut; neither shall you make
25 any offering thereof in your land. Nei-
ther from a stranger's hand shall ye offer
•'the bread of your God of any of these;
because their 'corruption is in them, and
blemishes be in them : they shall not be
accepted for you.
26 And the Lord spake unto Moses, say-
27 ing, ''When a bullock, or a sheep, or a
goat, is brought forth, then it shall be
seven days under the dam; and from
the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be
accepted for an offering made by fire
28 unto the Lord. And ivhcthcr it be cow
or "ewe, ye shall not kill it 'and her
29 young both in one day. And when ye
will '"offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving un-
to the Lord, offer it at your own will.
3D On the same day it shall be eaten up ; ye
shall leave "none of it until the mor-
row: I am the Lord.

mandments, and do them : I am the
32 Lord, p Neither shall ye profane my holy

And the Lord spake unto Moses, say-
ing. Speak unto the children of Israel, 2
and say unto them, Conanwig ='the feasts
of the Lord, which ye shall ''proclaim to
be "^holy convocations, even these are my
feasts.
"•Six days shall work be done: but the 3
seventh day is the sabbath of rest, a
'^holy convocation; ye shall do no work
therein : it is the sabbath of the Lord in
all your dwellings.
These are the feasts of the Lord, even 4
■^holy convocations, which ye shall ''pro-
claim in their seasons. 'In the four- s
teenth day of the first month at even is
the Lord's passover. And on the fif- 6
teenth day of the same month is the feast
of unleavened bread unto the Lord:
seven days ye must eat unleavened
bread, ffn the first day ye shall have a 7
holy convocation : ye shall do no servile
work therein. But ye shall offer an offer- s
ing .made by fire unto the Lord seven
days': in the seventh day is a holy con-
vocation: ye shall do no servile work
therein.
And the Lord spake unto Moses, 9
saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, 10
and say unto them, s\\'hen ye be come
into the land which I give unto you, and
shall reap the liarvest thereof, then ye
shall bring a •* sheaf of the firstfruits of
your harvest unto the priest: and he shall n
"wave the sheaf before the Lord, 'to be
accepted for you: on the morrow after
the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
And ye shall offer that day when ye 12
wave the sheaf a he lamb without ble-
mish of the first year for a burnt offering
unto the Lord. J And the meat offering .3
thereof shall be two tenth deals of fine
flour mingled with oil, an offering made
by fire unto the Lord for a sweet sa-
vour: and the drink offering thereof j'/m//
be (y' wine, the fourth part of a hin. And 14
ye shall eat neither bread, nor ''parched
corn, nor ''green ears, until the selfsame
day that ye have brought an offering unto
your God : // shall be a statute for ever
throughout your generations in all your
dwellings.
And 'ye shall count unto you from the 15
morrow after the sabbath, from the day
that ye brought the sheaf of the wave of-
fering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:
16 even unto the morrow after the seventh
sabbath shall ye number "fifty days; and
ye shall offer "a new meat offering unto
17 the Lord. Ye shall bring out of your
habitations two wave loaves of two tenth
deals: they shall be (y^ fine flour; they
shall be baken 7inth leaven; they are
is°the firstfruits unto the Lord. And ye
shall oft'er with die bread seven lambs

young bullock, and two rams : they shall

ye shall sacrifice Pone kid of the goats
for a sin offering, and two lambs of the
first year for a sacrifice of ^i peace ofter-
20 ings. And the priest shall wave diem
with the bread of the first fruits /or 'a
wave offering before the Lord, with the
two lambs: '^they shall be holy to the
21 Lord for the priest. And ye shall pro-
claim on the selfsame day, that it may
be a holy convocation unto you: ye
shall do no servile work therein: it shall
be a statute for ever in all your dwell-
22 ings throughout your generations. And
'when ye reap the harvest of your land,
thou shalt not make clean riddance of
the corners of thy field when thou reap-
est, neither shalt thou gather any glean-
ing of thy harvest : thou shalt leave them
unto the poor, and to the stranger : I am

rael, that they bring unto thee pure oil
olive beaten for the light, 'to cause the
3 lamps to burn continually. Without the
vail of the Testimony, in the tabernacle
of the congregation, shall Aaron order it

fore the Lord continually: // shall be a

tinually.

bake twelve '^ cakes thereof: two tenth
6 deals shall be in one cake. And thou
shalt set them in two ''rows, si.x on a row,
'=upon the pure table before the Lord.
7 And thou shalt put pure frankincense
upon each row, that it may be on the
bread for a memorial, even an offering
8 made by fire unto the Lord, f Every

9 covenant. And sjt shall be Aaron's and

holy place: for it is most holy unto him
of the offerings of the Lord made by
fire, by a perpetual statute.
10 And the son of an Israelitish woman,
whose father was an Egyptian, went out
among the children of Israel : and this
son of the Israelitish woman and a man
of Israel strove together in the camp;
11 and the Israelitish woman's son blas-
phemed the name '^of the Lord, and
■"cursed. And they ''brought him unto
Moses: (and his mother's name 7aas
Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the
12 tribe of Dan:) and they 'put him in

to the children of Israel, ythat they
should bring forth him that had cursed
out of the camp, and stone him with
stones. And the children of Israel did
as the Lord commanded Moses.
And the Lord spake unto Moses in
mount Sinai, saying. Speak unto the 2
children of Israel, and say unto them.
When ye come into the land which I
give you, then shall the land 'keep ^a
sabbath unto the Lord. Si.\ years thou 3
shalt sow thy field, and six years thou
shalt pnme thy \ineyard, and gather in
the fruit thereof; but in the seventh 4
year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the
land, a sabbath for the Lord: thou shalt
neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vine-
yard. ''That which groweth of it own 5
accord of thy harvest thou shalt not
reap, neither gather the grapes 'of thy
vine undressed : for it is a year of rest
unto the land. And the sabbath of the 6
land shall be meat for you; for thee,
and for thy servant, and for thy maid,
and for thy hired servant, and for thy
stranger that sojoumeth with thee, and ^
for thy cattle, and for the beast that arc
in thy land, shall all the increase thereof
be meat.
And thou shalt number se\en sab- s
baths of years unto thee, seven times
seven years ; and the space of the seven
sabbaths of years shall be unto thee
forty and nine years. Then shalt thou 9
cause the trumpet *of the jubile to sound
on the tenth day of the seventh month,
'in the day of atonement shall ye make
the trumpet sound throughout all your
land. And ye shall hallow the fiftieth 10
year, and proclaim <* liberty throughout
all the land unto all the inhabitants
thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you;
=and ye shall return every man unto his
possession, and ye shall return every
man unto his family. A jubile shall n
that fiftieth year be unto you : fye shall
not sow, neither reap that which grow-
eth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes
12 in it ''of thy vine undressed. For it is
the jubile; it shall be holy unto you:
sye shall eat the increase thereof out of
13 the field. "^In the year of this jubile ye
shall return every man unto his posses-
i4sion. And if thou sell ought unto thy
neighbour, or buyest ought of thy neigh-
bour's hand, ye shall not 'oppress one
15 another: ''according to the number of
years after the j\'bile thou shalt buy of
thy neighbour, and according unto the
number of years of the fruits he shall
16 sell unto thee : according to the multi-
tude of years thou shalt increase the
price thereof, and according to the few-
ness of years thou shalt diminish the
price of it: for according to the number
of the years of the fruits doth he sell
17 unto thee. Ye shall not therefore 'op-
press one another; ™but thou shalt
fear thy God: for I am the Lord your
God.
18 "Wherefore ye shall do my statutes,
and keep my judgments, and do them;
"and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.
19 And the land shall yield her fruit, and
Pye shall fiX your fill, and dwell therein
20 in safety. And if ye shall say, ^What
shall we eat the seventh year? behold,
■■we shall not sow, nor gather in our
21 increase: then I will ^command my bless-
ing upon you in the sixth year, and it
shall bring forth fruit for three years.
22 'And ye shall sow the eighth year, and
eat vf/ of "old fruit until the ninth year;
until her fruits come in ye shall eat of

even unto five years old, then thy esti-
mation shall be of the male five shekels

7 tion shall be three shekels of silver. And
if it be from sixty years old and above;

8 ten shekels. But if he be poorer than
thy estimation, then he shall present

shall value him; <* according to "^his
ability that vowed shall the priest value

it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a

the Lord some part of a field of his pos-

cording to the seed thereof: "a homer
of barley seed shall be valued at fifty

from the year of jubile, according to thy

47 But ''the Levites after the tribe of

ber the tribe of Levi, neither take the
sum of them among the children of Is-
sorael: 'but thou shalt appoint the Levites
over the tabernacle of Testimony, and
over all the vessels thereof, and over all
things that belong to it: they shall bear
the tabernacle, and all the vessels there-
of; and they shall minister unto it, "'and
shall encamp round about the taberna-
sicle. "And when the tabernacle setteth
forward, the Levites shall take it down :
and when the tabernacle is to be pitch-
ed, the Levites shall set it up: "and the
stranger that cometh nigh shall be put
52 to death. And the children of Israel
shall pitch their tents, every man by his
own camp, and p every man by his own
53 standard, throughout their hosts. iBut
the Levites shall pitch round about the
tabernacle of Testimony, that there be
no ■■ wrath upon the congregation of the
children of Israel: and the Levites 'shall
keep the charge of the tabernacle of
54 Testimony. And the children of Israel
did according to all that the Lord com-
manded Moses, so did they.
And the Lord spake unto Moses and
2 unto Aaron, saying, "Every man of the
children of Israel shall pitch by his own
standard, with the ensign of their fa-
ther's house: ""far off about the taber-
nacle of the congregation shall they

Eleazar, and Ithamar. These are the 3
names of the sons of Aaron, ^the. priests
which were anointed, 'whom he conse-
crated to minister in the priest's office.
'And Nadab and Abihu died before the 4
Lord, when they offered strange fire
before the Lord, in the wilderness of
Sinai, and they had no children: and
Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the
priest's office in the sight of Aaron their
father.
And the Lord spake unto Moses, s
saying, ''Bring the tribe of Levi near, 6
and present them before Aaron the
priest, that they may minister unto him.
And they shall keep his charge, and the 7
charge of the whole congregation before
the tabernacle of the congregation, "^to
do the service of the tabernacle. And 8
they shall keep all the instruments of
the tabernacle of the congregation, and
the charge of the children of Israel, 'to
do the service of the tabernacle. And 9
fthou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron
and to his sons : they are wholly given
unto him out of the children of Israel.
And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his 10
.sons, Sand they shall wait on their
priest's office: ''and the stranger that
Cometh nigh shall be put to death. And n
the Lord spake unto Moses, saying.
And I, behold, 'I have taken the Le- 12
vites from among the children of Israel
instead of all the firstborn that openeth
the matrix among the children of Israel :
therefore the Levites shall be mine;
because ^a\\ the firstborn arc mine; ^oriz
on the day that I smote all the firstborn
in the land of Eg)'pt I hallowed unto
me all the firstborn in Israel, both man
and beast : mine they shall be : I am the
Lord.
And the Lord spake unto Moses in .<
the wilderness of Sinai, saying. Number 15
the children of Levi after the house of
their fathers, by their families : ""every
male from a month old and upward
shalt thou number them. And Moses 16
numbered them according to the 'word

"And these were the sons of Levi by 17

children of Israel. And all the firstborn 43
males by the number of names, from a

were numbered of them, were twenty

the Levites shall be mine: I am the

to the commandment of the Lord they
were numbered by the hand of Moses,
s every one according to his service, and
according to his burden: thus were they
numbered of him, ''as the Lord com-
manded Moses.
And the Lord spake unto Moses,
saying, Command the children of Israel, 2
that they put out of the camp every
^ leper, and every one that hath an ''is-
sue, and whosoever is defiled by the
•^dead: both male and female shall ye 3
put out, ''without the camp shall ye put
them; that they defile not their camps,
^in the midst whereof I dwell. And 4
the children of Israel did so, and put
them out ''without the camp: as the
Lord spake unto Moses, so did the
children of Israel.
And the Lord spake unto Moses, 5
saying. Speak unto the children of Israel, 6
fWhen a man or woman shall commit any
sin that men commit, to do a trespass
against the Lord, and that person be
guilty; ethen they shall confess their sin 7
which they have done: and he shall re-
compense his trespass ''with the prin-
cipal thereof, and add unto it the fifth
part thereof, and give it unto him against
whom he hath trespassed. But if the 8
man have no kinsman to recompense
the trespass unto, let the trespass be re-
compensed unto the Lord, even to the
priest; beside 'the ram of the atone-
ment, whereby an atonement shall be
9 made for him. And every "offering of
all the holy things of the children of Is-
rael, which they bring unto the priest,
lo'^shall be his. And every man's hal-
lowed things shall be his: whatsoever
any man giveth the priest, 'it shall be
his.
11 And the Lord spake unto Moses, say-
12 ing, Speak unto the children of Israel,
and say unto them. If any man's wife
go aside, and commit a trespass against
13 him, and a man lie with her carnally,
and it be hid from the eyes of her hus-
band, and be kept close, and she be
defiled, and there be no witness against
her, neither "" she be taken with the man-
14 ner; and the spirit of jealousy come
upon him, and he be jealous of his wife,
and she be defiled : or if the spirit of
jealousy come upon him, and he be
jealous of his wife, and she be not
15 defiled: then shall the man bring his
wife unto the priest, and he shall bring
her offering for her, the tenth part of
an ephah of barley meal; "he shall pour
no oil upon it, nor put frankincense
thereon; for it is an offering of jealousy,
an offering of memorial, "bringing ini-
16 quity to remembrance. And the priest
shall bring her near, and set her before
17 the Lord : and the priest shall take holy
water in an earthen vessel; and of the
dust that is in the floor of the taber-
nacle the priest shall take, and put //
18 into the water: and the priest shall set
the woman before the Lord, and un-
cover the woman's head, and put the
offering of memorial in her hands, which
is the jealousy offering : and the priest
shall have in his hand the bitter water
19 that causeth the curse: and the priest

And the Lord spake unto Moses, 22
saying. Speak unto Aaron and unto his 23

the children of Israel, saying unto them.
The Lord bless thee, and ''keep thee: 24

And it came to pass on the day that
Moses had fully •''set up the tabernacle,
and had ^anointed it, and sanctified it,
and all the instruments thereof, both the
altar and all the vessels thereof, and had
anointed them, and sanctified them ;
that the princes of Israel, ''heads of the 2
house of their fathers, who were the
princes of the tribes, 'and were over
them that were numbered, offered: and 3
they brought their offering before the
Lord, six ■= covered wagons, and twelve
oxen; a wagon for two of the princes,
and for each one an ox : and they brought
them before the tabernacle. And the 4
Lord spake unto Moses, saying. Take it 5
of them, that they may be to do the
service of the tabernacle of the congre-
gation; and thou shalt give them unto
the Levites, to every man according to
his service. And Moses took the wagons 6
and the oxen, and gave them unto the
Levites. Two wagons and four oxen 7
''he gave unto the sons of Gershon, ac-
cording to their service: and four wagons a
and eight oxen "^he gave unto the sons
of Merari, according unto their service,
under the hand of Ithamar the son of
Aaron the priest. But unto the sons of 9
Kohath he gave none: because fthe
service of the sanctuary belonging unto
them ^was that they should bear upon
their shoulders. And the princes offered 10

that it was anointed, even the princes

And when Moses was gone into the 89
tabernacle of the congregation to 'speak
with 'him, then he heard the voice of
one speaking unto him sfrom off the
mercy seat that was upon the ark of
Testimony, from between the two che-
rubims: and he spake unto him. And
the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him,
When thou ^lightest the lamps, the seven
lamps shall give light over against the
3 candlestick. And Aaron did so; he
''lighted the lamps thereof over against
the candlestick, as the Lord commanded
4 Moses. ''And this work of the candle-
stick K'as of beaten gold, unto the shaft
thereof, unto the flowers thereof, icas
■^beaten work: ''according unto the pat-
tern which the Lord had shewed Moses,
so he made the candlestick.
s And the Lord spake unto Moses,
6 saying. Take the Levites from among
the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
7 And thus shalt thou do unto them, to
cleanse them: Sprinkle "= water of puri-
fying upon them, and *flet them shave
all their flesh, and let them wash their
clothes, and so make themselves dean.
8 Then let them take a young bullock
with Shis meat oftering, even fine flour
mingled with oil, and another young
bullock shalt thou take for a sin offer-
9 ing. "^ And thou shalt bring the Levites
before the tabernacle of the congrega-
tion: 'and thou shalt gather the whole

Israel ''shall put their hands upon the

of the children of Israel are mine, both
man and beast : on the day that I smote
every firstborn in the land of Egypt, I
sanctified them for myself And 1 have is
taken the Levites for all the firstborn of
the children of Israel. And il have 19
given the Levites as 'a gift to Aaron
and to his sons from among the chil-
dren of Israel, to do the service of the
children of Israel in the tabernacle of
the congregation, and to make an atone-
ment for the children of Israel: ■'that
there be no plague among the children
of Israel, when the children of Israel
come nigh unto the sanctuary. And 20
Moses, and Aaron, and all the congre-
gation of the children of Israel, did to
the Levites according unto all that the
Lord commanded Moses concerning the
Levites, so did the children of Israel
unto them. And the Levites ^were pu- 21
rifled, and they washed their clothes;
and Aaron oftered them as an ofi'ering
before the Lord; and Aaron made an
atonement for them to cleanse them.
And after that went the Levites in to 22
do their service in the tabernacle of the
congregation before Aaron, and before
his sons: as the Lord had commanded
Moses concerning the Levites, so did
they unto them.
And the Lord spake unto Moses, 23
saying. This is it that bdoitgeth unto the 24
Levites: 'from twenty and five years old
and upward they shall go in 'to wait
upon the service of the tabernacle of
the congregation: and from the age of 23
fifty years they shall * cease waiting upon
the service thereof, and shall serve no
more : but shall minister with their 26
brethren in the tabernacle of the con-
gregation, "to keep the charge, and
shall do no service. Thus shalt thou
do unto the Levites touching their
charge.
And the Lord spake unto Moses in
the wilderness of Sinai, ^in the first
month of the second year after they
were come out of the land of Eg)'pt,
saying, Let the children of Israel also 2
keep ^ the passover at his appointed
season. In the fourteenth day of this 3
month, 'at even, ye shall keep it in his
appointed season: according to all the
rites of it, and according to all the cere-
monies thereof, shall ye keep it. And 4
Moses spake unto the children of Israel,
that they should keep the passover. And 5
they kept the passover on the fourteenth
day of the first month at even in the
wilderness of Sinai : according to all
that the Lord commanded Moses, so
did the children of Israel.
6 And there were certain men, who were
•^defiled by the dead body of a man,
that they could not keep the passover
on that day: <*and they came before
Moses and before Aaron on that day:
7 and those men said unto him. We are
defiled by the dead body of a man:
wherefore are we kept back, that 7c'6'
may not offer an oftering of the Lord
in his appointed season among the chil-
sdren of Israel? And Moses said unto
them. Stand still, and ''I will hear what
the Lord will command concerning you.
9 And the Lord spake unto Moses, say-
loing. Speak unto the children of Israel,
saying. If any man of you or of your
posterity shall be unclean by reason of
a dead body, or be in a journey afar oflT,
yet he shall keep the passover unto the
11 Lord. fThe fourteenth day of the se-
cond month at even they shall keep it,
and Seat it with unleavened bread and
12 bitter herbs. ""They shall leave none of
it unto the morning, 'nor break any
bone of it: •'according to all the ordi-
nances of the passover they shall keep
13 it. But the man that is clean, and is
not in a journey, and forbeareth to keep
the passover, even the same soul 'shall
be cut off from among his people : be-
cause he "'brought not the oflering of
the Lord in his appointed season, that
14 man shall "bear his sin. And if a
stranger shall sojourn among you, and
will keep the passover unto the Lord;
according to the ordinance of the pass-
over, and according to the manner
thereof, so shall he do : "ye shall have
one ordinance, both for the stranger,
and for him that was bom in the land.
15 And Pon the day that the tabernacle
was reared up, the cloud covered the
tabernacle, namely, the tent of the Tes-
timony: and lat even there was upon
the tabernacle as it were the appearance
16 of fire, until the morning. So it was
alway : the cloud co\ered it by day, and
17 the appearance of fire by night. And
when the cloud ''was taken up from the
tabernacle, then after that the children
of Israel journeyed : and in the place
where the cloud abode, there the chil-
is dren of Israel pitched their tents. At

commandment of the Lord they pitched:
^as long as the cloud abode upon the
tabernacle they rested in the tents.
And when the cloud ' tarried long upon ig
the tabernacle many days, then the chil-
dren of Israel 'kept the charge of the
Lord, and journeyed not. And so it 20
was, when the cloud was "a few days
upon the tabernacle ; according to the
commandment of the Lord they abode
in their tents, and according to the com-
mandment of the Lord they journeyed.
And so it was, when the cloud 'abode 21
from even unto the morning, and that
the cloud was taken up in the morning,
then they journeyed : whether it icms by
day or by night that the cloud was taken
up, they journeyed. Or whether it ^verc^-z
two days, or a month, ^or a year, that
the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle,
remaining thereon, the children of Is-
rael >" abode in their tents, and journey-
ed not : but when it was taken up, they
journeyed. At the commandment of the 23
Lord they rested in' the tents, and at
the commandment of the Lord they
journeyed; they ^kept the charge of the
Lord, at the commandment of the Lord
by the hand of Moses.
And the Lord spake unto Moses,
saying, Make thee two trumpets of sil- 2
ver; of ^a whole piece thou shalt make
them: that thou mayest use them for
the ''calling of the assembly, and for
the journeying of the camps. And 3
when <=they shall blow with them, all
the assembly shall assemble themselves
to thee at the door of the tabernacle of
the congregation. And if they blow but 4
with one trumpet, then the ])rinces, which
are ''heads of the thousands of Israel,
shall gather themselves unto thee. AMien s
ye blow '•"an alarm, then fthe camps that
lie on the east ])arts shall go forward.
When you blow "^an alann the second t
time, then the camps that lie eon the
south side shall take their journey: they
shall blow '^an alann for their journeys.
But when the congregation is to be 7
gathered together, you shall blow, but
you shall not ''sound an alarm. 'And the 8
sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow
with the trumpets; and they shall be to
you for an ordinance for ever through-
out your generations. And ''if ye go to c
war in your land against the enemy that
'oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an
alarm witii the trumpets ; and ye shall
be ""remembered before the Lord your
God, and ye shall be saved from your
10 enemies. Also "in the day of your glad- " = Chr. 5.
ness, and in your solemn days, and "in &29. 26. '

6 onions, and the garlick: but now our
soul is dried away: there is nothing at

10 Then Moses heard the people weep
throughout their families, every man in

the Lord was kindled greatly; Moses
11 also "was displeased. °And Moses said
unto the Lord, ^Vherefore hast thou af

I not found favour in thy sight, that
thou layest the burden of all this people

people alone, because // is too heavy
15 for me. And if thou deal thus with me,
"kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I
have found favour in thy sight ; and let

16 And the Lord said unto Moses, Ga-

of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the
elders of the people, and ^ofiicers over
them ; and bring them unto the taberna-

days, nor twenty days; but even a 20
•whole month, funtil it come out at your
nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you :
because that ye have despised the Lord
■which is among you, and have wept
before him, saying, sWhy came we forth
out of Egypt? And Moses said, ''The 21
people, amongst whom I am, are si.x hun-
dred thousand footmen; and thou hast
said, 1 will give them flesh, that they
may eat a whole month. Shall the 22
flocks and the herds be slain for them,
to 'suffice them? or shall all the fish of
the sea be gathered together for them,
to 'suffice them? And the Lord said 23
unto Moses, ''Is the Lord's hand waxed
short? thou shalt see now whether 'my
word shall come to pass unto thee or
not. And Moses went out, and told 24
the people the words of the Lord, and
"gathered the seventy men of the elders
of the people, and set them round about
the tabernacle. And the Lord "came 25
down in a cloud, and spake unto him,
and "took of the spirit that was upon
him, and gave // unto the seventy elders:
and it came to pass, that when the
spirit rested upon them, they prophesied,
and did not cease. But there remained 26
two of the men in the camp, the name of
the one was Eldad, and the name of the
other Medad : and the spirit rested upon
them; and they wei-e of them that were
written, but °went not out unto the ta-
bernacle: and they prophesied in the
camp. And there ran a young man, 27
and told Moses, and said, Eldad and
Medad do prophesy in the camp. And 28
pjoshua the son of Nun, the servant of
Moses, one lof his young men, answered
and said. My lord Moses, 'forbid them.
And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou 29
for my sake? '^would God that all the
Lord's people were prophets, aiiii that
the Lord would put his spirit upon
them ! And Moses gat him into the 20
camp, he and the elders of Israel.
And there went forth a 'wind from 31
the Lord, and brought quails from the
sea, and let t/iem fall by the camp, ♦as it
were a day's journey on this side, and
'as it were a day's journey on the other
side, round about the camp, and as it
were two cubits hig/i upon the face of
the earth. And the jicople stood up all 32
that day, and all that night, and all the
next day, and they gathered the quails :
he that gathered least gathered ten "ho-
mers: and they spread than all abroad
for themselves round about the camp.
33 And while the '^ flesh was yet between
their teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath
of the Lord was kindled against the
people, and the Lord smote the people
34 K'ith a very great plague. And he called
the name of that place ' Kibroth-hat-
taavah : because there they buried the
35 people that lusted. yAnd the people
journeyed from Kibroth-hattaavah unto
Hazeroth; and 'abode at Hazeroth.
And Miriam and Aaron spake against
Moses because of the 'Ethiopian wo-
man whom he had 'married: for ^he
2 had 'married an " Ethiopian woman. And
they said. Hath the Lord indeed spoken
only by Moses? ''hath he not spoken
also by us? And the Lord "^ heard it.
3 ''(Now the man Moses was very meek,
above all the men which 7C'cre upon the
4 face of the earth.) ''And the Lord
spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto
Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye
three unto the tabernacle of the congre-
5 gation. And they three came out. "^ And
the Lord came down in the pillar of the
cloud, and stood in the door of the ta-
bernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam :
6 and they both came forth. And he said.
Hear now my words: If there be a pro-
phet among you, / the Lord will make
myself known unto him fin a vision-,
and will speak unto him sin a dream.
.7 ''My servant Moses is not so, "who is
8 faithful in all ''mine house. With him
will I speak 'mouth to mouth, even ap-
parently, and not in "dark speeches;
and "the similitude of the Lord shall he
behold : wherefore then were ye not
afraid to speak against "my servant Mo-
9ses? And the anger of the Lord was
kindled against them; and he departed.
10 And the cloud departed from off the
tabernacle; and Pbehold, Miriam he-
came 1 leprous, white d& snow: and Aaron
looked upon Miriam, and behold, she
11 'was leprous. And Aaron said unto Mo-
ses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, 'lay
not the sin upon us, wherein we have
done foolishly, and wherein we have
12 sinned. Let her not be as one dead,
of whom the flesh is half consumed when
he cometh out of his mother's womb.
13 And Moses cried unto the Lord, saying,
Heal her now, O God, 1 beseech thee.
14 And the Lord said unto Moses, If her
father had but ^spit in her face, should
she not be ashamed se\'en days? let her

were their names: of the tribe of Reu-
ben, Shammua the son of Zaccur. Of s
the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of
Hori. "^Of the tribe of Judah, "^ Caleb 6
the son of Jephunneh. Of the tribe of 7
Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph. Of 8
the tribe of Ephraim, ''Oshea the son of
Nun. Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti 9
the son of Raphu. Of the tribe of 10
Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi. Ofn
the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe
of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi. Of 12
the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of
Gemalli. Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur 13
the son of Michael. Of the tribe of 14
Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi. Of 15
the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of
Machi. These are the names of the 16
men which Moses sent to spy out the
land. And Moses called ^Oshea the
son of Nun, Jehoshua. And Moses sent 17
them to spy out the land of Canaan,
and said unto them, Get you up this
way g southward, and go up into ''the
mountain : and see the land, what it is; is
and the people that dwelleth therein,
whether they he strong or weak, few or
many; and what the land is that they 19
dwell in, whether it be good or bad ; and
what cities t/icy be that they dwell in,
whether in tents, or in strong holds;
and what the land is, whether it be 'fat 20
or lean, whether there be wood therein,
or not. And ''be ye of good courage,
and bring of the fruit of the land. Now
the time was the time of the first ripe
grapes. So they went up, and searched 21
the land 'from the wilderness of Zin
unto ""Rehob, "as men come to Hamath.
And they ascended by the south, and 22
came unto Hebron; where "Ahiman,
Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of
Anak, were. (Now p Hebron was built
seven years before iZoan in Egypt.)
23'' And they came unto the 'brook of
Eshcol, and cut down from thence a
branch with one cluster of grapes, and
they bare it between two upon a ^ staff;
and they brought of the pomegranates,
24 and of the figs. The place was called
the ' brook " Eshcol, because of the
cluster of grapes which the children of
25 Israel cut down from thence. And they
returned from searching of the land after
forty days.
26 And they went and came to Moses,
and to Aaron, and to all the congrega-
tion of the children of Israel, unto the
wilderness of Paran, to 'Kadesh; and
brought back word unto them, and unto
all the congregation, and shewed them
27 the fruit of the land. And they told
him, and said. We came unto the land
whither thou sentest us, and surely it
floweth with "milk and honey; ^and
28 this is the fruit of it. Nevertheless >'the
people be strong that dwell in the land,
and the cities are >'walled, and very
great: and moreover we saw the chil-
29dren of Anak there. ^The Amalekites
dwell in the land of the south : and the
Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the
Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and
"the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and
30 by the coast of Jordan. And ''Caleb
stilled the people before Moses, and
said, Let us go up at once, and possess
it ; for we are well able to overcome it.
31 ■= Rut the men that went up with him
said, We be not able to go up against
the people; for they are stronger than
32 we. And they brought up ''an evil re-
port of the land which they had searched
unto the children of Israel, saying. The
land, through which we have gone to
search it, is a land that eateth up the
inhabitants thereof; and =all the people
that we saw in it are 'men of a great
33 stature. And there we saw ''the giants,
the sons of Anak, jiJiieh come of ''the
giants : and we were in our own sight as
sgrasshoppers, and so we were in their
sight.
And all the congregation •''lifted up
their voice, and cried; and ''the people
2 wept that night. And all the children
of Israel '^murmured against Moses and
against Aaron : and the whole congre-
gation said unto them, Would God that

pany are gathered together against the
Lord: ™and what is Aaron, that ye
murmur against him? And Moses sent 12
to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of
Eliab : which said, We will not come up :
°« a a small thing that thou hast brought 13
us up out of a land °that floweth with
milk and honey, to kill us in the wilder-
ness, except thou Pmake thyself alto-
gether a prince over us? Moreover thou 14
hast not brought us into a land "that
floweth with milk and honey, or given
us inheritance of fields and vineyards :
wilt thou 'put out the eyes of these
men? we will not come up. And Mo- 15
ses was very wroth, and said unto the
Lord, 1 Respect not thou their offering:
"■I have not taken one ass from them,
neither have I hurt one of them. And 16
Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and
all thy company 'before the Lord, thou,
and they, and Aaron, to morrow : and 17
'take every man his censer, and put in-
cense in them, and bring ye before the
Lord ever\' man his censer, two hun-
dred and fifty censers; thou also, and
Aaron, each of you his censer. And is
they took every man his censer, and
put fire in them, and laid incense there-
on, and stood /// the door of the taber-
nacle of the congregation with Moses
and Aaron. And Korah gathered all 19
the congregation against them unto the
door of the tabernacle of the congre-
gation: and "the glory of the Lord ap-
peared unto all the congregation. And 20
the Lord spake unto Moses and unto
Aaron, saying, '^Separate yourselves from 21
among this congregation, that I may
consume them yin a moment. And 22
they ^fell upon their faces, and said, O
God, ^the God of the spirits of all flesh,
shall one man sin, and wilt thou be
wroth with all the congregation ? And 23
the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
Speak unto the congregation, saying, 24
Get you up from about the tabernacle
of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. And 25
Moses rose up and went unto Dathan
and Abiram; and the elders of Israel
followed him. And he spake unto the 26
congregation, saying, ''Depart, I pray
you, from the tents of these wicked
men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest
ye "^be consumed in all their sins. So 27
they gat up from the tabernacle of Ko-
rah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side :
and Dathan and Abiram came out, and
"^ stood in the door of their tents, and
their wives, and their sons, and their
28 little children. And Moses said, <= Here-
by ye shall know that the Lord hath
sent me to do all these works; for /
//«?■(? not done them "^of mine own mind.
29 If these men die *the common death of
all men, or if they be fvisited after the
visitation of all men; then the Lord
30 hath not sent me. But if the Lord
'make a new thing, and sthe earth open
her mouth, and swallow them up, with
all that appertain unto them, and they
•■go down quick into the pit; then ye
shall understand that these men 'have
31 provoked the Lord. ^And it came to
pass, as he had made an end of speak-
ing all these words, that the ground
clave asunder that loas under them :
32 and the earth opened her mouth, and
swallowed them up, and their houses,
and "^all the men that appertained unto
33 Korah, and all their goods. They, and
all that appertained to them, went down
alive into the pit, and the earth closed
upon them: and they perished from a-
34 mong the congregation. And all Israel
that were round about them fled at the
cr)- of them: for they said. Lest the earth
35 swallow us up also. And there 'came
out a fire from the Lord, and consumed
the two hundred and fifty men that
offered incense.
36 And the Lord spake unto Moses,
37 saying, Speak unto "" Eleazar the son of
Aaron the priest, that he take up the
censers out of the burning, and scatter
thou the fire yonder; for they are hal-
38 lowed. The censers of these "sinners
against their own souls, let them make
them Pbroad platesyi*/- a covering of the
altar: for they offered them before the
Lord, therefore they are hallowed: °and
they shall be a sign unto the children of
39 Israel. And Eleazar the priest took the
brasen censers, wherewith they that
were burnt had offered; and Pthey were
made broad plates for a covering of the
40 altar: to be a memorial unto the children
of Israel, ithat no stranger, which is not
of the seed of Aaron, come near to offer
incense before the Lord; that he be not
as Korah, and as his company: as the
Lord said to him by the hand of Moses.
41 But on the morrow all the congrega-
tion of the children of Israel murmured
against Moses and against Aaron, saying,
Ye have killed the people of the Lord.

gation was gathered against Moses and

against Aaron, that they looked toward
the tabernacle of the congregation : and
behold, ■'the cloud covered it, and ''the
glory of the Lord appeared. And Mo- 43
ses and Aaron came before the taber-
nacle of the congregation. And the 44
Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 'Get 45
you up from among this congregation,
that I "may consume them "as in a mo-
ment. And they fell upon their faces.
And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a 46
censer, and put fire therein from off the
altar, and put on incense, and go quickly
unto the congregation, and make an
atonement for them : "for there is wratli
gone out from the Lord; the plague is
begun. And Aaron took as Moses 47
commanded, and ran into the midst of
the congregation; and behold, the plague
was begun among the people: and he
put on incense, and made an atonement
for the people. And he stood between 48
the dead and the living; and >'the plague
was stayed. Now they that died in the 49
plague were fourteen thousand and seven
hundred, ^beside them that died about
the matter of Korah. And Aaron re- 50
turned unto Moses unto the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation : and the
plague was stayed.
And the Lord spake unto Moses, say-
ing, Speak unto the children of Israel, and 2
take of every one of them a rod according
to the house of their fathers, of all their
princes according to the house of their fa-
thers twelve rods : write thou every man's
name upon his rod. And thou shall 3
write Aaron's name upon the rod of
Levi: for one rod shall he for the head
of the house of their fathers. And thou 4
shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of
the congregation before the Testimony,
^where I will meet with you. And it 5
shall come to pass, that the man's rod,
''whom I shall choose, shall blossom:
and I will make to cease from me the
murmurings of the children of Israel,
'^whereby they murmur against you.
And Moses spake unto the children of 6
Israel, and every one of their princes
gave him 'a rod apiece, for each prince
one, according to their fathers' houses,
even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron
7i.ias among their rods. And Moses laid 7
up the rods before the Lord in ''the
tabernacle of Witness. And it came to s
pass, that on the morrow Moses went
into the tabernacle of Witness; and be-
hold, the rod of Aaron for the house of
Levi was budded, and brought forth
buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded
9 almonds. And Moses brought out all
the rods from before the Lord unto all
the children of Israel : and they looked,
10 and took every man his rod. And the
Lord said unto Moses, Bring <= Aaron's
rod again before the Testimony, fto be
kept sfor a token against the 'rebels;
•■and thou shalt quite take away their
murmurings from me, that they die not.
11 And Moses did so: as the Lord com-
12 manded him, so did he. And the chil-
dren of Israel spake unto Moses, saying,
Behold, we die, we perish, we all perish.
13 'Whosoever cometh any thing near unto
the tabernacle of the Lord shall die:
shall we be consumed with dying?
And the Lord said unto Aaron, ^Thou
and thy sons and thy father's house with
thee shall ''bear the iniquity of the sanc-
tuary: and thou and thy sons with thee
shall bear the iniquity of your priest-
2 hood. And thy brethren also of the
tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father,
bring thou with thee, that they may be
•^joined unto thee, and ''minister unto
thee: but ''thou and thy sons with thee
shall minister before the tabernacle of
3 Witness. And they shall keep thy
charge, and 'the charge of all the taber-
nacle: 8 only they shall not come nigh
the vessels of the sanctuary and the
altar, ''that neither they, nor you also,
4 die. And they shall be joined unto
thee, and keep the charge of the taber-
nacle of the congregation, for all the ser-
vice of the tabernacle: 'and a stranger
5 shall not come nigh unto you. And ye
shall i^keep the charge of the sanctuary,
and the charge of the altar: 'that there
be no wrath any more upon the children
6 of Israel. And I, behold, I have ""taken
your brethren the Levites from among
the children of Israel: "to you they arc
given as a gift for the Lord, to do the
service of the tabernacle of the congre-
7gation. Therefore thou and thy sons
with thee "shall keep your priest's office
for every thing of the altar, and Pwithin
the vail; and ye shall serve: I have
given your priest's office unto you as a
service of gift: and the stranger that
8 cometh nigh shall be put to death. And

most holy things, resei~ved from the fire :
every oblation of theirs, every "meat of-
fering of theirs, and every 'sin offering
of theirs, and every "trespass offering of
theirs, which they shall render unto me,
shall be 'most holy for thee and for thy

ters with thee, by a statute for ever:

shall eat of it. ''All the 'best of the oil,
and all the ' best of the wine, and of the
wheat, <=the firstfruits of them which
they shall offer unto the Lord, them
have I given thee. And whatsoever is
first ripe in the land, ''which they shall
bring unto the Lord, shall be thine;
= every one that is clean in thine house
shall eat of it. fEvery thing devoted in
Israel shall be thine, s Every thing that
openeth the matrix in all flesh, which
they bring unto the Lord, whether it be
of men or beasts, shall be thine : never-
theless ''the firstborn of man .shalt thou

clean beasts shalt thou redeem. And
those that are to be redeemed from a
month old shalt thou redeem, 'according
to thine estimation, fo>- the money of
'five shekels, after the shekel of the
sanctuary, ''which is twenty gerahs.
'But the firstling of a cow, or the first-
ling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat,
thou shalt not redeem; they are holy:
""thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon
the altar, and shalt bum their fat for an
offering made by fire, for a sweet savour
unto the Lord. And the flesh of them
shall be thine, as the "wave breast and
as the right shoulder are thine. "All
the heave offerings of the holy things,
which the children of Israel offer unto
the Lord, have I given thee, and thy
sons and thy daughters with thee, by a
statute for ever: Pit is a covenant of salt
for ever before the Lord unto thee and
to thy seed with thee.
And the Lord spake unto Aaron,
Thou shalt have no inheritance in their
land, neither shalt thou have any part
among them: il am thy part and thine
inheritance among the children of Israel.
21 And behold, 'I have given the children of
Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inherit-
ance, for their service which they serve,
even ^the ser\"ice of the tabernacle of the
22 congregation. 'Neither must the chil-
dren of Israel henceforth come nigh the
tabernacle of the congregation, "lest they
23 bear sin, 'and die. But the Levites
"shall do the service of the tabernacle
of the congregation, and •''they shall
bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute
for ever throughout your generations,
that among the children of Israel they
24 have no inheritance. But the tithes of
the children of Israel, which vthey offer
as a heave offisring unto the Lord, I
have given to the Levites to inherit:
therefore I have said unto them, ^ Among
the children of Israel they shall have no
inheritance.
25 And the Lord spake unto Moses,
13 26 saying. Thus speak unto the Levites,
and say unto them, When ye take of the
children of Israel the tithes which I have
given you from them for your inherit-
14 ance, then ye shall offer up a heave of-
15 i ferinar of it for the Lord, am ^a tenth
^Tpart of the tithe. ''And this your heave
offering shall be reckoned unto you, as
though it were the com of the threshing-
floor, and as the fulness of the winepress.
28 Thus you also shall oft'er a heave offering
unto the Lord of all your tithes, which
ye receive of the children of Israel; and
ye shall give thereof the Lord's heave
29 offering to Aaron the priest. Out of all
your gifts ye shall offer ever}' heave of-
fering of the Lord, of all the 'best there-
of, rt'en the hallowed part thereof out of
30 it. Therefore thou shalt say unto them.
When ye have heaved the 'best thereof
from it, "^then it shall be counted unto the
Levites as the increase of the threshing-
floor, and as the increase of the wine-

place, ye and your households: for it is
''your reward for your service in the
32 tabernacle of the congregation. And ye
shall "^bear no sin by reason of it, when
ye have heaved from it the best of it:
neither shall ye fpollute the holy things
of the children of Israel, lest ye die.
And the Lord spake unto Moses and

nance of the law which the Lord hath
commanded, saying, Speak unto the

azar the priest, that he may bring her
'■forth without the camp, and otic shall
slay her before his face: and Eleazar 4
the priest shall take of her blood with
his finger, and "^sprinkle of her blood
directly before the tabernacle of the con
gregation seven times: and one shall 5
burn the heifer in his sight; ''her skin,
and her flesh, and her blood, with her
dung, shall he burn : and the priest shall 6
take <^ cedar wood, and hyssop, and scar-
let, and cast // into the midst of the
burning of the heifer. Then the priest ^
fshall wash his clothes, and he shall
bathe his flesh in water, and afterward
he shall come into the camp, and the
priest shall be unclean until the even.
And she that burneth her shall wash his 8
clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in
water, and shall be unclean until the
even. And a man f/iat is clean shall 9
gather up ''the ashes of the heifer, and
lay them up without the camp in 'a clean
place, and it shall be kept for the con-
gregation of the children of Israel ■'for a
water of separation : it is a purification
for sin. And he that gathereth the 10
ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes,
and be unclean until the even: and it
shall be unto the children of Israel, and
unto the stranger that sojourneth among
them, for a statute for ever.
■'He that toucheth the dead body of n
any 'man shall be unclean seven days.
He 'shall purify himself with it on the 12
third day, and on the seventh day he
shall be clean : but if he purify not him-
self the third day, then the seventh day
he shall not be clean. Whosoever 13
toucheth the dead body of any man that
is dead, and purifieth not himself, ™de-
fileth the tabernacle of the Lord; and
"that soul shall be cut off from Israel:
because the water of separation was not
sprinkled upon him, he shall be un-
clean; "his uncleanness is yet upon him.
This is the law, when a man dieth in a 14
tent: all that come into the tent, and all
that is in the tent, shall be unclean
seven days. And every "open vessel, 15
which hath no covering bound upon it,
is unclean. And p whosoever toucheth 16
one that is slain with a sword in the
open fields, or a dead body, or a bone of
a man, or a grave, shall be unclean
seven days. And for an unclean person 17
they shall take of the 'ashes lof the
burnt heifer of purification for sin, and
'running water shall be put thereto in a
18 vessel: and a clean person shall take
"■hyssop, and dip it in the water, and
sprinkle // upon the tent, and upon all
the vessels, and upon the persons that
were there, and upon him that touched
a bone, or one slain, or one dead, or a
19 grave: and the c\e3.n person shall sprinkle
upon the unclean ^on the third day, and
on the seventh day: and 'on the seventh
day he shall purify hmiseif, and "wash
his clothes, and bathe himself in water,
20 and shall be clean at even. But the
man that shall be unclean, and shall not
purify himself, •''that soul shall be cut off
from among the congregation, because
he hath defiled the sanctuary of the
Lord : the water of separation hath not
been sprinkled upon him; he is un-
21 clean. And it shall be a perpetual sta-
tute unto them, that he that sprinkleth
the water of separation shall wash his
clothes; and he that toucheth the water
of separation shall be unclean until
22 even. And ywhatsoever the unclean
person toucheth shall be unclean; and
the soul that toucheth it shall be un-
clean until even.
Then came the children of Israel, et'cn
the whole congregation, ^into the desert
of Zin in the first month : and the people
abode in Kadesh; and "^Miriam died
2 there, and was buried there. '= And there
was no water for the congregation: ''and
they gathered themselves together against
3 Moses and against Aaron. And the
people "^chode with Moses, and spake,
saying, Would God that we had died
fwhen our brethren died before the Lord !
4 And Swhy have ye brought up the con-
gregation of the Lord into this wilder-
ness, that we and our cattle should die
5 there? And wherefore have ye made us
to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in
unto this evil place? it is no place of
seed, or of figs, or vines, or of pome-
granates; neither is there any water to
6 drink. And Moses and Aaron went
from the presence of the assembly unto
the door of the tabernacle of the congre-
gation, and ''they fell upon their faces:
and 'the glory of the Lord appeared
7 unto them. And the Lord spake unto
s Moses, saying, ''Take the rod, and gather
thou the assembly together, thou, and
Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto
the rock before their eyes; and it shall
give forth his water, and 'thou shalt

rock : so thou shalt give the congregation
and their beasts drink. And Moses took 9
the rod ""from before the Lord, as he
commanded him. And Moses and A- 10
aron gathered the congregation together
before the rock, and he said unto them,
"Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch
you water out of this rock? And Moses n
lift up his hand, and with his rod he
smote the rock twice: and °the water
came out abundantly, and the congrega-
tion drank, and their beasts also. And 12
the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron,
Because Pye believed me not, to 1 sanc-
tify me in the eyes of the children of Is-
rael, therefore ye shall not bring this
congregation into the land which I have
given them. ■'This is the water of ' Me- 13
ribah; because the children of Israel
strove with the Lord, and he was sanc-
tified in them.
\A.nd Moses sent messengers from Ka- 14
desh unto 'the king of Edom, Thus saith
"thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all
the travail that hath 'befallen us: 'how 15
our fathers went down into Egypt, "and
we have dwelt in Egypt a long time;
*and the Egyptians ve.xed us, and our
fathers: and ^when we cried unto the 16
Lord, he heard our voice, and ^sent an
angel, and hath brought us forth out of
Egypt : and behold, we are in Kadesh, a
city in the uttermost of thy border: ="16117
us pass, I pray thee, through thy coun-
try: we will not pass through the fields,
or through the vineyards, neither will we
drink of the water of the wells : we will
go by the king's his^^h way, we will not
turn to the right hand nor to the left, un-
til we have passed thy borders. And is
Edom said unto him. Thou shalt not
pass by me, lest I come out against thee
with the sword. And the children of 19
Israel said unto him. We will go by ''the
high way : and if I and my cattle drink
of thy water, '=then I will pay for it: I
will only, without doing any thing else,
go through on my feet. And he said, 20
Thou shalt not go through. And Edom
came out against him with much people,
and with a strong hand. Thus Edom 21
''refused to give Israel passage through
his border: wherefore Israel "= turned a-
way from him.
And the children of Israel, CT^'cn the 22
whole congregation, journeyed from ""Ka-
desh, and came unto smount Hor. And 23

put it upon a pole, and it came to pass,
that if a serjjent had bitten any man,
when he beheld the serpent of brass, lie
lived. And the children of Israel set 10
forward, and 1 pitched in Oboth. And n
they journeyed from Oboth, and''pitched
at "Ije-abarim, in the wilderness which
is before Moab, toward the sunrising.
From thence they removed, and pitched 12
in ^the valley of Zared. From thence 13
they removed, and pitched on the other
side of Arnon, which is in the wilder-
ness that cometh out of the coasts of
the Amorites: for 'Arnon is the border
of Moab, between Moab and the Amor-
ites. Wherefore it is said in the boolc 14
of the wars of the Lord,
"What he did in the Red sea.
And in the brooks of Arnon,
And at the stream of the brooks that 1 =
goeth down to the dwelling of "Ar,
And 'lieth upon the border of Moab.
And from thence t/iey toait ^to Beer: 16
that is the well whereof the Lord spake
unto Moses, Gather the people together,
and I will give them water. vThen Is- 17
rael sang this song,
'Spring up, O well;
'Sing ye unto it:
The princes digged the well, is
The nobles of the people digged it,
By the direction of ^ the lawgiver, with
their staves.
And from the wilderness i/iey ivcnt to
Mattanah : and from Mattanah to Na- 19
haliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:
and from Bamoth /// the valley, that is 20
in the 'country of Moab, to the top of
•Pisgah, which looketh ^toward "Jeshi-
mon.
And •'Israel sent messengers unto Si- 21
lion king of the Amorites, saying, '=Let23
me pass through thy land : we will not
turn into the fields, or into the vine-
yards; we will not drink of the waters
of the well : but we will go along by the
king's high way, until we be past thy
borders. "^And Sihon would not suffer 23
Israel to pass through his border: but
Sihon gathered all his people together,
and went out against Israel into the
wilderness: and he came to "Jahaz, and
fought against Israel. And fisrael smote 24
him with the edge of the sword, and
possessed his land from Arnon unto
sjabbok, even unto the children of Am-
nion: for the border of the children of
Amnion was strong. And Israel took 15
all these cities: and Israel dwelt in all
the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon,
26 and in all the 'villages thereof For
Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king
of the Amorites, who had fought against
the former king of Moab, and taken all
his land out of his hand, even unto Ar-
27non. Wherefore they that speak in
•^ proverbs say,
Come into Heshbon,
Let the city of Sihon be built and
prepared :
28 For there is 'a fire gone out of Hesh-
bon,
A flame from the city of Sihon :
It hath consumed Ar of Moab,
And the lords of the high places of
Arnon.
29 'Woe to thee, Moab !
Thou art undone, O people of ^ Che-
mosh :
He hath given his sons that escaped,
And his daughters into captivity
Unto Sihon king of the Amorites.
30 We have shot at them;
Heshbon is perished even unto ''Di-
bon.
And we have laid them waste even
unto Nophah,
Which rcachcth unto 'Medeba.
31 Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the
32 Amorites. And Moses sent to spy out
'"Jaazer, and they took the "villages
thereof, and drove out the Amorites
33 that were there. And they turned and
went up by the way of Bashan : and Og
the king of Bashan went out against
them, he, and all his people, to the
34 battle "at Edrei. And the Lord said
unto Moses, PFear him not: for I have
delivered him into thy hand, and all his
people, and his land; and ithou shalt
do to him as thou didst unto Sihon king
of the Amorites, which dwelt at Hesh-
35 bon. So they smote him, and his sons,
and all his people, until ''there was none
left him alive : and they possessed his
land.
And ^the children of Israel set for-
ward, and pitched ^in the plains of
Moab on this side Jordan by Jericho.
2 And Balak the son of Zippor saw all
that Israel had done to the Amorites.
3 And ''Moab was sore afraid of the peo-
ple, because they 7oerc many: and Moab
'was distressed because of the children
4 of Israel. And Moab said unto ''the
elders of Midian, Now shall this com-
pany lick up all that are round about us,
as the o.\ licketh up the grass of the

king of the Moabites at that time. ^He 5
sent messengers therefore unto Balaam
the son of Beor to fPethor, which is by
the river of the land of the children of
his people, to call him, saying, Behold,
there is a people come out from Egv-pt:
behold, they cover the 'face of the earth,
and they abide over against me: come 6
now therefore, I pray thee, scurse me
this people ; for they are too mighty for
me: peradventure I shall prevail, that
we may smite them, and that I may
drive them out of the land: for I wot
that he whom thou blessest is blessed,
and he whom thou cursest is cursed.
And the elders of Moab and the elders ^
of Midian departed with ''the rewards of
divination in their hand; and they came
unto Balaam, and spake unto him the
words of Balak. And he said unto s
them, 'Lodge here this night, and I will
bring you word again, as the Lord shall
speak unto me : and the princes of Moab
abode with Balaam. "^And God came 9
unto Balaam, and said, What men are
these with thee? And Balaam said unto m
God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of
Moab, hath sent unto me, saying, Be- n
hold, there is a people come out of E-
gypt, which covereth the face of the
earth: come now, curse me them; per-
adventure 'I shall be able to overcome
them, and dri\'e them out. And God 12
said unto Balaam, Thou shall not go
with them ; thou shalt not curse the peo-
ple : for 'they are blessed. And Balaam 13
rose up in the morning, and said unto
the princes of Balak, Get you into your
land : for the Lord refuseth to give me
leave to go with you. And the princes 14
of Moab rose up, and they went unto
Balak, and said, IJalaam refuseth to come
with us. And Balak sent yet again 15
princes, more, and more honourable
than they. And they came to Balaam, 16
and said to him, Thus saith Balak the
son of Zijjpor, 'Let nothing, I pray thee,
hinder thee from coming unto me: for 1 17
will promote thee unto very great hon-
our, and I will do whatsoever thou say-
est unto me: '"come therefore, I pray
thee, curse me this people. And Bala- 18
am answered and said unto the servants
of Balak, "If Balak would give me his
house full (j/" silver and gold, °I cannot
go beyond the word of the Lord my
God, to do less or more. Now there- 19
fore, I pray you, p tarry ye also here
this night, that I may know what the
ioLoRD will say unto me more. lAnd
God came unto Balaam at night, and
said unto him. If the men come to call
thee, rise up, and go with them; but
■■yet the word which I shall say unto
21 thee, that shalt thou do. And Balaam
rose up in the morning, and saddled his
^ass, and went with the princes of Moab.
22 And God's anger was kindled because
he went: 'and the angel of the Lord
stood in the way for an adversary against
him. Now he was riding upon his ass,
and his two servants 7cvrc with him.
23 And the ass saw the angel of the Lord
standing in the way, and his sword
drawn in his hand: and the ass turned
aside out of the way, and went into the
field : and Balaam smote the ass, to turn
24 her into the way. But the angel of the
Lord stood in a path of the vineyards,
a wall I'cing on this side, and a wall on
25 that side. And when the ass saw the
angel of the Lord, she thrust herself
unto the w^all, and crusht Balaam's
foot against the wall : and he smote her
26 again. And the angel of the Lord
went further, and stood in a narrow
place, where was no way to turn either
zTto the right hand or to the left. And
when the ass saw the angel of the Lord,
she fell down under Balaam: and Ba-
laam's anger was kindled, and he smote
23 the ass with a staft". And the Lord
"opened the mouth of the ass, and she
said unto Balaam, What ha\'e I done
unto thee, that thou hast smitten me
ry these three "times? And Balaam said
unto the ass. Because thou hast mocked
me : I would there were a sword in mine
30 hand, for now would I kill thee. And
the ass said unto Balaam, Am not I
thine ass, 'upon which thou hast ridden
'ever since / was thine unto this day?
was I ever wont to do so unto thee?
31 And he said, Nay. Then the Lord
>■ opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw
the angel of the Lord standing in the
way, and his sword drawn in his hand:
and he ^ bowed down his head, and 'fell
32 flat on his face. And the angel of the
Lord said unto him, \Vherefore hast
thou .smitten thine ass these three ''times?
behold, I went out 'to withstand thee,
because thy way ='is perverse before me:
33 and the ass saw me, and turned from
me these three '■times: unless she had
turned from me, surely now also I had
34 slain thee, and saved her alive. And

Balaam said unto the angel of the Lord,
''I have sinned; for I knew not that
thou stoodest in the way against me:
now therefore, if it 'displease thee, I
will get me back again. And the angel 35
of the Lord said unto Balaam, Go with
the men: "^but only the word that I shall
speak unto thee, that thou shalt speak.
So Balaam went with the princes of Ba-
lak. And when Balak heard that Bala- 36
am was come, he went out to meet him
unto a city of Moab, which is ''in the
border of Arnon, which is in the utmost
coast. And Balak said unto Balaam, 37
Did I not earnestly send unto thee to
call thee? wherefore camest thou not
unto me? am I not able indeed "^to pro-
mote thee to honour? And Balaam said 38
unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee :
have I now any power at all to say any
thing? fthe word that God putteth in my
mouth, that shall I speak. And Balaam 39
went with Balak, and they came unto
" Kirjath-huzoth. And Balak offered 40
oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam,
and to the princes that were with him.
And it came to pass on the morrow, 41
that Balak took Balaam, and brought
him up into the shigh places of Baal,
that thence he might see the utmost
part of the people.
And Balaam said unto Balak, =» Build
me here seven altars, and prepare me
here seven oxen and seven rams. And 2
Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and
Balak and Balaam ''offered On nv/y aAtar
a bullock and a ram. And Balaam said 3
unto Balak, "^ Stand by thy burnt offer-
ing, and I will go: peradventure the
Lord will come ''to meet me : and what-
soever he sheweth me I will tell thee.
And 'he went to a high place. '=And 4
God met Balaam : and he said unto him,
I have prepared seven altars, and I have
offered upon eiwy altar a bullock and a
ram. And the Lord fput a word in Ba- 5
laam's mouth, and said, Return unto Ba-
lak, and thus thou shalt speak. And he 6
returned unto him, and lo, //e stood by
his burnt sacrifice, he, and all the princes
of Moab. And he stook up his parable, 7
and said,
Balak the king of Moab hath brought
me from Aram,
Out of the mountains of the Ga.st,saying,
Come, ''curse me Jacob,
And come, 'defy Israel.
How shall I ''curse, whom God hath s
not ''cursed?
Or how shall I defy, w/tom the Lord
hath not defied?
9 For from the top of the rocks I see him,
And from the hills I behold him:
Lo, 'the people shall dwell alone,
And ""shall not be reckoned among
the nations.
10 "Who can count the dust of Jacob,
And the number 0/ the fourth part of
Israel?
Let 'me die "the death of the righte-
ous.
And let my last end be like his!
11 And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast
thou done unto me? I took thee Pto
curse mine enemies, and behold, thou
12 hast blessed t/iem altogether. And he
answered and said, iMust I not take
heed to speak that which the Lord hath
13 put in my mouth? And Balak said unto
him. Come, I pray thee, with me unto
another place, from whence thou mayest
see them: thou shalt see but the utmost
part of them, and shalt not see them all :
14 and curse me them from thence. And
he brought him i/i/o the field of Zophim,
to the top of "Pisgah, ■'and built seven
altars, and offered a bullock and a ram
15 on a'cry altar. And he said unto Balak,
Stand here by thy burnt offering, while
16 1 meet ^t/ie Lord yonder. And the
Lord met Balaam, and 'put a word in
his mouth, and said. Go again unto Ba-
17 lak, and say thus. And when he came
to him, behold, he stood by his burnt
offering, and the princes of Moab with
him. And Balak said unto him. What
18 hath the Lord spoken? And he took
up his parable, and said,
Rise up. Balak, and hear;
Hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:
19 "God is not a man, that he should lie;
Neither the son of man, that he should
repent:
Hath he said, and shall he not do itl
Or hath he spoken, and shall he not
make it good?
20 Behold, I have received commandment
to bless: and ''he hath blessed;
And I cannot reverse it.
21 He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob,
Neither hath he seen yperverseness in
Israel :
The Lord his God is with him,
^And the shout of a king is among
them.
22 ='God brought them out of Egji^t;
He hath as it were ''the strength <^of

Surely there is no enchantment 'against 23

of Jacob and of Israel,
"=What hath God wrought!
Behold, the people shall rise up fas a 24
great lion,
And lift up himself as fa young lion :
sHe shall not lie down until he eat of
the prey,
And drink the blood of the slain.
And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither 25
curse them at all, nor bless them at all.
But Balaam answered and said unto Ba- 26 I
lak. Told not I thee, saying, '■All that i
the Lord speaketh, that I must do?
And Balak said unto Balaam, 'Come, 1 27
pray thee, I will bring thee unto another
place; peradventure it will please God
that thou mayest curse me them from
thence. And Balak brought Balaam =3
unto the top of '^Peor, that looketh 'to-

And when Balaam saw that it pleased
the Lord to bless Israel, he went not,

took up his parable, and said,

And when he looked on Amalek, he 20

But his latter end ''■shaH be that he
perish for ever.
And he looked on •'the Kenites, and 21
took up his parable, and said,
Strong is thy dwelling place.
And thou puttest thy nest in a rock.
Nevertheless 'the Kenite shall be 22
wasted,
"Until Asshur shall carry thee away

And he took up his parable, and 23

And ships shall come from the coast 24
of 'Chittim,
And shall afflict Asshur, and shall

And Balaam rose up, and went and 25
"'returned to his place: and Balak also
went his way.
And Israel abode in ='.Shittim, and
''the people begun to commit whoredom
with the daughters of Moab. <^And 2
they ''called 'the people unto the sacri-
fices of their gods: and the people did
eat, and bowed down to their gods.
And Israel '^joined himself unto ^Baal- 3
peor: and the anger of the Lord was
kindled against Israel. And the Lord 4
said unto Moses, sTake all the heads of
the people, and hang them up before
the Lord against the sun, hthat the
fierce anger of the Lord may be turned
away from Israel. And Moses said un- 5
to 'the judges of Israel, ''Slay ye every
one his men that were joined unto fBaal-
peor. And behold, one of the children 6
of Israel came and brought unto his
brethren a Midianitish woman in the
sight of Moses, and in the sight of all
the congregation of the children of Is-
rael, who ^iiere 'weeping before the door
of the tabernacle of the congregation.
And "'when Phinehas, "the son of Elea- 7
zar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw /'/,
he rose up from amongst the congrega-
tion, and took a javelin in his hand;
and he went after the man of Israel into s
the tent, and thrust both of them through,
the man of Israel, and the woman through
her belly. So "the plague was stayed
from the children of Israel. And .Pthose 9
that died in the plague were twenty and
four thousand.
10 And the Lord spake unto Moses,
11 saying, Phinehas, the son of Eleazar,
the son of Aaron the priest, 1 hath
turned my wrath away from the children
of Israel, while he was zealous 'for my
sake among them, that I consumed not
the children of Israel in ■'my jealousy.
12 Wherefore say, ^Behold, I give unto him
13 my covenant of peace: and he shall
have it, and 'his seed after him, eve7i
the covenant of "an everlasting priest-
hood; because he was zealous for his
God, and made an atonement for the
14 children of Israel. Now the name of
the Israelite that was slain, even that
was slain with the Midianitish woman,
luas Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of
a 'chief house among the Simeonites.
15 And the name of the Midianitish wo-
man that was slain was Cozbi, the
daughter of •"■Zur; he was head over a
people, and of a chief house in Midian.
16 And the Lord spake unto Moses, say-
17 ing, > Vex the Midianites, and smite
isthem: for they vex you with their ^ wiles,
wherewith they have beguiled you in the
matter of ■''Peor, and in the matter of
Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Mi-
dian, their sister, which was slain in the
day of the plague for "Peor's sake.
And it came to pass after the plague,
that the Lord spake unto Moses and
unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest,
2 saying, ^Take the sum of all the con-
gregation of the children of Israel, ''from
twenty years old and upward, through-
out their fathers' house, all that are able
3 to go to war in Israel. And Moses and
Eleazar the priest spake with them "^in
the plains of Moab by Jordan near Je-
4richo, saying, '^ Take the sum of the peo-
ple, from twenty years old and upward ;
as the Lord "= commanded Moses and
the children of Israel, which went forth

they that were numbered of them ivere
J forty and five thousand and four hun-
dred. These were the numbered of the 51
children of Israel, i^six hundred thou-
sand and a thousand seven hundred and
thirty.
And the Lord spake unto Moses, 52
saying, 'Unto these the land shall be 53
divided for an inheritance according to
the number of names. To many thou 54
shalt 'give the more inheritance, and to
few thou shalt 'give the less inheritance:
to every one shall his inheritance be
given according to those that were num-
bered of him. Notwithstanding the land ss
shall be "'divided by lot: according to
the names of the tribes of their fathers
they shall inherit. According to the lot 56
shall the possession thereof be divided
between many and few.
"And these arc they that were num-s?
bered of the Levites after their families :
of Gershon, the family of the Gershon-
ites: of Kohath, the family of the Ko-
liathites: of Merari, the family of the
Merarites. These are the families ofss
the Levites: the family of the Libnites,
the family of the Hebronites, the family
of the Mahlites, the family of the Mush-
ites, the family of the Korahites. And
Kohath begat Amram. And the name 59
■ of Amram's wife teas "Jochebed, the
daughter of Levi, whom her mother bare
to Levi in Egypt: and she bare unto
Amram Aaron and Moses, and Miriam
their sister, p And unto Aaron was born to
Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Itha-
mar. And 1 Nadab and Abihu died, 61
when they offered strange fire before
62 the Lord. And those that were num-
bered of them were ""twenty and three
thousand, all males from a month old
and upward: *for they were not num-
bered among the children of Israel,
because there was 'no inheritance given
them among the children of Israel.
63 These arc they that were numbered by
Moses and Eleazar the priest, who num-
bered the children of Israel "in the
plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.
64 " But among these there was not a man
of them whom Moses and Aaron the
priest numbered, when they numbered
the children of Israel in the wilderness
6s of Sinai. For the Lord had said of
them, They >' shall surely die in the wil-
derness. And there was not left a man
of them, ^save Caleb the son of Jephun-
neh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
Then came the daughters of ^Zelo-
phehad, the son of Hepher, the son of
Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of
Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh
the son of Joseph: and these are the
names of his daughters; Mahlah, Noah,
and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.
2 And they stood before Moses, and be-
fore Eleazar the priest, and before the
princes and all the congregation, by the
door of the tabernacle of the congre-
3gation, saying. Our father ''died in the
wilderness, and he was not in the com-
pany of them that gathered themselves
together against the Lord in the com-
pany of Korah; but '^died in his own
4 sin, and had no sons. Why should the
name of our father be 'done away from
among his family, because he hath no
son? ''Give unto us therefore a posses-
sion among the brethren of our father.
5 And Moses ''brought their cause before
bthe Lord. And the Lord spake unto
7 Moses, saying. The daughters of Ze-
lophehad speak right: «thou shalt surely
give them a possession of an inheritance
among their father's brethren ; and thou
shalt cause the inheritance of their fa-
s ther to pass unto them. And thou shalt
speak unto the children of Israel, say-
ing. If a man die, and have no son,
then ye shall cause his inheritance to
9 pass unto his daughter. And if he have
no daughter, then ye shall give his in-
loheritance unto his brethren. And if he
have no brethren, then ye shall give his
inheritance unto his father's brethren.
II And if his father have no brethren, then
ye shall give his inheritance unto 'his

kinsman that is next to him of his fa-
mily, and he shall possess it : and it
shall be unto the children of Israel sa
statute of judgment, as the Lord com-
manded Moses.
And the Lord said unto Moses, Get 12
thee up into ''this mount Abarim, and
see the land which I have given unto
the children of Israel. And when thou 13
hast seen it, thou also 'shalt be gathered
unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother
was gathered. For ye ''rebelled against 14
my commandment in the desert of Zin,
in the strife of the congregation, to
sanctify me at the water before their
eyes: that is the 'water of Meribah in
Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin. And 15
Moses spake unto the Lord, saying,
Let the Lord, '"the God of the spirits 16
of all flesh, set a man over the congre-
gation, "which may go out before them, 17
and which may go in before them, and
which may lead them out, and which
may bring them in; that the congre-
gation of the Lord be not °as sheep
which have no shepherd. And the is
Lord said unto Moses, Take thee
Joshua the son of Nun, a man Pin
whom is the spirit, and "J lay thine hand
upon him; and set him before Eleazar 19
the priest, and before all the congre-
gation; and '■give him a charge in their
sight. And thou shalt put some of thine 20
honour upon him, that all the congre-
gation of the children of Israel ^may be
obedient. And he shall stand before 21
Eleazar the priest, who shall 'ask cvun-
sc/ for him "after the judgment of Urim
before the Lord : at his word shall they
go out, and at his word they shall come
in, 6ot/i he, and all the children of Is-
rael with him, even all the congrega-
tion. And Moses did as the Lord com- 22
manded him : and he took Joshua, and
set him before Eleazar the priest, and
before all the congregation : and he laid 23
his hands upon him, and gave him a
charge, as the Lord commanded by the
hand of Moses.
And the Lord spake unto Moses,
saying, Command the children of Is- 2
rael, and say unto them, My offering,
a/td ^my bread for my sacrifices made
by fire, far 'a sweet savour unto me,
shall ye observe to offer unto me in
their due season. And thou shalt say 3
unto them, '^This is the offering made
by fire which ye shall offer unto the
Lord ; two lambs of the first year with-
out spot *day by day, Jor a continual
4 burnt ottering. The one lamb shalt thou
ofter in the morning, and the other lamb
5 shalt thou offer *at even'; and "^a tenth
J>ari of an ephah 0/ flour for a ''meat
offering, mingled "^with the fourth pari
6 of a hin of beaten oil. /i is ''a con-
tinual burnt offering, which was ordain-
ed in mount Sinai for a sweet savour, a
sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord.
7 And the drink offering thereof s/ia// be
the fourth part of a hin for the one
lamb: ein the holy //(?ir shalt thou cause
the strong wine to be poured unto the
8 Lord for a drink offering. And the
other lamb shalt thou offer at even: as
the meat offering of the morning, and
as the drink offering thereof, thou shalt
offer it, a sacrifice made by fire, of a
sweet savour unto the Lord.
9 And on the sabbath day two lambs
of the first year without spot, and two
tenth deals of flour for a meat offering,
mingled with oil, and the drink offering
lo thereof: this is ''the burnt offering of
every sabbath, beside the continual burnt
offering, and his drink offering.
11 And ' in the beginnings of your montlis
ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the
Lord; two young bullocks, and one
ram, seven lambs of the first year with-
12 out spot ; and ''three tenth deals ^ flour
for a meat offering, mingled with oil, for
one bullock; and two tenth deals (y flour
for a meat offering, mingled with oil, for
13 one ram ; and a several tenth deal of
flour mingled with oil for a meat offer-
ing unto one lamb ; for a burnt offering
of a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by
14 fire unto the Lord. And their drink
off"erings shall be half a hin of wine unto
a bullock, and the third part of a hin
unto a ram, and a fourth part of a hin
unto a lamb: this is the burnt offering
of ever}' month throughout the months
15 of the year. And 'one kid of the goats
for a sin offering unto the Lord shall
be offered, besides the continual burnt
offering, and his drink offering.

first month is the passover of the Lord.

wthe feast: seven days shall unleavened
18 bread be eaten. In the "first day shall
be a holy convocation; ye shall do no

of Israel according to all that the Lord
commanded Moses.
And Moses spake unto ^the heads of
the tribes concerning the children of
Israel, saying, This is the thing which
2 the Lord hath commanded. ''If a man
vow a vow unto the Lord, or "^swear an
oath to bind his soul with a bond; he
shall not 'break his word, he shall "^do
according to all that proceedeth out of
3 his mouth. If a woman also vow a
vow unto the Lord, and bind herself
by a bond, being in her father's house
4 in her youth ; and her father hear her
vow, and her bond wherewith she hath
bound her soul, and her father shall
hold his peace at her: then all her
vows shall stand, and every bond where-
with she hath bound her soul shall
5 stand. But if her father disallow her
in the day that he heareth; not any of
her vows, or of her bonds wherewith
she hath bound her soul, shall stand;
and the Lord shall forgive her, because
6 her father disallowed her. And if she
had at all a husband, when 'she vowed,
or uttered ought out of her lips, where-
7 with she bound her soul; and her hus-
band heard //, and held his peace at
her in the day that he heard it: then
her vows shall stand, and her bonds
wherewith she bound her soul shall
8 stand. But if her husband disallow her
on the day that he heard //; then he
shall make her vow which she vowed,
and that which she uttered with her lip,s,
wherewith she bound her soul, of none
effect : and the Lord shall forgive her.
9 But every vow of a widow, and of her
that is divorced, wherewith they have
bound their souls, shall stand against
10 her. And if she vowed /// her hus-
band's house, or bound her soul by a
11 bond with an oath; and her husband
heard /'/, and held his peace at her,
and disallowed her not: then all her
vows shall stand, and every bond where-
with she bound her soul shall stand.
12 But if her husband hath utterly made
them void on the day he heard them;
then whatsoever proceeded out of her
lips concerning her vows, or concerning
the bond of her soul, shall not stand :
her husband hath made them void ; and
13 the Lord shall forgive her. Every vow,
and every binding oath to afflict the
soul, her husband may establish it, or
14 her husband may make it void. But if
her husband altogether hold his peace
at her from day to day; then he es-
tablisheth all her vows, or all her bonds,
which are upon her: he confimieth them,
because he held his peace at her in the

which the Lord commanded Moses,

And the Lord spake unto Moses, say-
ing, ''Avenge the children of Israel of the

spake unto the people, saying. Arm some
of yourselves unto the war, and let them

thousand, throughout all the tribes of
Israel, shall ye send to the war. So

that were slain; namely, ^Evi, and Re-

that had not known man by lying with

persons were sixteen thousand ; of which

which was the Lord's heave oft'ering,
unto Eleazar the priest, '^as the Lord
commanded Moses. And of the chil- 42
dren of Israel's half, which Moses divided
from the men that warred, (now the half 43
that pertained unto the congregation was
three hundred thousand and thirty thou-
sand and seven thousand and five hun-
dred sheep, and thirty and si.x thousand 44
beeves, and thirty thousand asses and 45
five hundred, and sixteen thousand per- 46

half, Moses took one portion of fifty,
ioth of man and of beast, and gave them
unto the Levites, which kept the charge
of the tabernacle of the Lord; as the
Lord commanded Moses.
And the 'officers which were o\"er48
thousands of the host, the captains of
thousands, and captains of hundreds,
came near unto Moses : and they said 49
unto Moses, Thy servants have taken
the sum of the men of war which are
under our 'charge, and there lacketh not
one man of us. We have therefore 50
brought an oblation for the Lord, what
every man hath 'gotten, />/ jewels of
gold, schains, and '^bracelets, rings, 'ear-
rings, and •'tablets, 'to make an atone-
ment for our souls before the Lord. And sr
Moses and Eleazar the priest took the
gold of them, ei'cn all wrought jewels.
And all the gold of the 'oft'ering that 52
they offered up to the Lord, of the cap-
tains of thousands, and of the captains
of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven
hundred and fifty shekels. (J^or "'the 53
men of war had taken spoil, every man
for himself.) And Moses and Eleazar 54
the priest took the gold of the captains
of thousands and of hundreds, and
brought it into the tabernacle of the
congregation, "/or a memorial for the
children of Israel before the Lord.
Now the children of Reuben and the
children of Gad had a very great mul-
titude of cattle: and when they saw the
land of ^Jazer, and the land of Gilead,
that behold, the jilace rcas a place for
2 cattle; the children of Gad and the
children of Reuben came and spake
unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest,
and unto the princes of the congiega-
3 tion, saying, Ataroth, and ''Dibon, and
Jazer, and 'Nimrah, and Heshbon, and
Elealeh, and "Shebam, and '=Nebo, and
4'Beon, even the country "^ which the
Lord smote before the congregation of
Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy
5 servants have cattle : wherefore, said
they, if we have found grace in thy
sight, let this land be given unto thy
ser\'ants for a possession, and bring us
6 not over Jordan. And Moses said unto
the children of Gad and to the children
of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to
7 war, and shall ye sit here? And where-
fore 'discourage ye the heart of the
children of Israel from going over into
the land which the Lord hath given
8 them? Thus did your fathers, "^when I
sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see
9 the land. For when they went up unto
fthe valley of Eshcol, and saw the land,
they discouraged the heart of the chil-
dren of Israel, that fhey should not go
into the land which the Lord had given
10 them. sAnd the Lord's anger was
kindled the same time, and he sware,
11 saying, ""Surely none of the men that
came up out of Egypt, 'from twenty
years old and upward, shall see the
land which I sware ''unto Abraham,
unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because
they have not 'wholly followed me:
12 save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the
'Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun:
"" for they have wholly followed the
13 I>ord. And the Lord's anger was kin-
dled against Israel, and he made them
"wander in the wilderness forty years,
until "all the generation, that had done
evil in the sight of the Lord, was con-
usumed. And behold, ye are risen up
in your fathers' stead, an increase of
sinful men, to augment yet the fierce
15 anger of the Lord toward Israel. For
if ye Pturn away from after him, he will
yet again leave them in the wilderness ;

and ye shall destroy all this people.
And they came near unto him, and i6
said, We will build sheepfolds here for
our cattle, and cities for our little ones :
but i\ve ourselves will go ready 'armed 17
before the children of Israel, until we
have brought them unto their place : and
our little ones shall dwell in the fenced
cities because of the inhabitants of the
land. HVe will not return unto our 18
houses, until the children of Israel have
inherited e\ery man his inheritance.
For we will not inherit with them on 19
yoidcr side Jordan, or forward; 'because
our inheritance is fallen to us on this
side Jordan eastward. And "Moses said 20
unto them. If ye will do this thing, if ye
will go armed before the Lord to war,
and will go all of you "armed over Jor-21
dan before the Lord, until he hath
"driven out his enemies from before
him, and the land be subdued before 22
the Lord: then afterward ye shall re-
turn, and be guiltless before the Lord,
and before Israel; and this land shall
be your possession before the Lord.
But if ye will not do so, behold, ye 23
have sinned against the Lord: and be
sure yyour sin will find you out. ^ Build 24
ye cities for your little ones, and folds
for your sheep ; and do that which hath
proceeded out of your mouth. And the 25
children of Gad and the children of
Reuben spake unto Moses, saying. Thy
servants will do as my lord commandeth.
Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, 26
and all our cattle, shall be there in the
cities of Gilead : but thy servants will 27
pass over, every man » armed for war,
before the Lord to battle, as my lord
saith. So concerning them Moses com- 28
manded Eleazar the priest, and '^Joshua
the son of Nun, and the chief fathers
of the tribes of the children of Israel:
and Moses said unto them. If the chil-29
dren of Gad and the children of Reuben
will pass with you over Jordan, every
man armed to battle, before the Lord,
and the land shall be subdued before
you; then ye shall give them the land
of Gilead for a possession : but if they 30
will not pass over with you armed, they
shall have possessions among you in the
land of Canaan. And the children of 31
Gad and the children of Reuben an-
swered, saying. As the Lord hath said
unto thy servants, so will we do. We 32
will pass over armed before the Lord

And the Lord spake unto Moses,
saying. Command the children of Is- 2
rael, and say unto them, When ye come
into "the land of Canaan; (this is the
land that shall fall unto you for an in-
heritance, even the land of Canaan with
the coasts thereof:) then •'your south 3
quarter shall be from the wilderness of
Zin along by the coast of Edom, and
your south border shall be the outmost
coast of '^the salt sea eastward: and 4
your border shall turn from the south
''to the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass
on to Zin: and the going forth thereof
shall be from the south "^to Kadesh-
barnea, and shall go on to fHazar-
addar, and pass on to Azmon: and the 5
border shall fetch a compass from Az-
mon eunto the river of Egypt, and the
goings out of it shall be at the sea.
And as for the western border, you shall 6
even have the great sea for a border:
this shall be your west border. And ^
this shall be your north border: from
the great sea you shall point out for you
'■mount Hor: from mount Hor ye shall s
point out vour border 'unto the entrance
of Hamath; and the goings forth of the
border shall be to i^Zedad: and the bor- 9
der shall go on to Ziphron, and the
goings out of it shall be at 'Hazar-
enan: this shall be your north border.
And ye shall point out your east border 10
from Hazar-enan to Shepham: and then
coast shall go down from Shepham "'to
Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and
the border shall descend, and shall reach
unto the 'side of the sea "of Chinnereth
eastward : and the border shall go down 12
to Jordan, and the goings out of it shall
be at "the salt sea: this shall be your
land with the coasts thereof round about.
And Moses commanded the children of 13
Israel, saying, PThis is the land which
ye shall inherit by lot, which the Lord
commanded to give unto the nine tribes,
and to the half tribe: <!for the tribe of 14
the children of Reuben according to the
house of their fathers, and the tribe of
the children of Gad according to the
house of their fathers, have received their
inlieiitance; and half the tribe of Ma-
nasseh have received their inheritance:
the two tribes and the half tribe have 15
received their inheritance on this side
Jordan near Jericho eastward, toward
the sunrising.
And the Lord spake unto Moses, 16
saying. These are the names of the men 17
which shall divide the land unto you:
'Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son
18 of Nun. And ye shall take one '^prince
of every tribe, to divide the land by
19 inheritance. And the names of the men
are these: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb
20 the son of Jephunneh. And of the tribe
of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the
21 son of Ammihud. Of the tribe of Ben-
22Jamin, Elidad the son of Chislon. And
the prince of the tribe of the children of
23 Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli. The prince
of the children of Joseph, for the tribe
of the children of Manasseh, Hanniel
24 the son of Ephod. And the prince of
the tribe of the children of Ephraim,
25 Kemuel the son of Shiphtan. And the
prince of the tribe of the children of
Zebulun, Elizaphan the son of Parnach.
26 And the prince of the tribe of the chil-
dren of Issachar, Paltiel the son of
27Azzan. And the prince of the tribe
of the children of Asher, Ahihud the
28 son of Shelomi. And the prince of the
tribe of the children of Naphtali, Peda-
29hel the son of Ammihud. These arc
they whom the Lord commanded to
divide the inheritance unto the children
of Israel in the land of Canaan.
And the Lord spake unto Moses in
"the plains of Moab by Jordan near Je-
2richo, saying, '^Command the children
of Israel, that they give unto the Le-
vites of the inheritance of their posses-
sion cities to dwell in; and ye shall
give also unto the Levites '^suburbs for
3 the cities round about them. And the
cities shall they have to dwell in; and
the ■= suburbs of them shall be for their
cattle, and for their goods, and for all
4 their beasts. And the "^suburbs of the
cities, which ye .shall give unto the Le-
vites, shall reach from the wall of the
city and outward a thousand cubits
5 round about. And ye shall measure
from without the city on the east side
two thousand cubits, and on the south
side two thousand cubits, and on the
west side two thousand cubits, and on
the north side two thousand cubits; and
the city shall be in the midst: this shall
be to them the "^suburbs of the cities.
6 And among the cities which ye shall
give unto the Levites there shall be ''six
cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint
for the manslayer, that he may flee thi-
ther; and 'to them ye shall add forty
7 and two cities. So all the cities which
ye shall give to the Levites shall be

THESE be the words which Moses
spake unto all Israel on this side
Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain
over against "the Red sea, between ^Pa-
ran, and Tophel, and Laban, and ''Ha-
zeroth, and Dizahab. ( There are eleven 2
days' journey from Horeb by the way of
mount Seir unto "^Kadesh-barnea.) And 3
it came to pass <*in the fortieth year, in
the eleventh month, on the first day of
the month, that Moses spake unto the
children of Israel, according unto all
that the Lord had given him in com-
mandment unto them ; after he had slain 4
•^Sihon the king of the Amorites, which
dwelt in =Heshbon, and ^Og the king of
Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth in
ff^lrei: on this side Jordan, in the land 5
of Moab, began Moses to declare this
law, saying.
The Lord our God spake unto us in 6
Horeb, saying, sYe have dwelt long
enough in this mount : turn you, and 7
take your journey, and go to the mount
of the Amorites, and unto 'all the places
nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills,
and in the vale, and in the south, and
by the sea side, to the land of the Ca-
naanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the
great river, the river Euphrates. Be- s
hold, I have 'set the land before you:
go in and possess the land which the
Lord sware unto your fathers, ''Abra-
ham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto
them and to their seed after them.
And 'I spake unto you at that time, 9
saying, I am not able to bear you my-
self alone : the Lord your God hath 10
multiplied you, and behold, ''you are this
day as the stars of heaven for multitude.
('The Lord God of your fathers make n
you a thousand times so many moe as
ye are, and bless you, as he hath pro-
i2mised you I) '"How can I myself alone
bear your "cumbrance, and your hur-
ts den, and your strife? °'Take ye wise
men, and understanding, and known
among your tribes, and I will make
14 them rulers over you. And ye answer-
ed me, and said. The thinj which thou
15 hast spoken is good for us to do. So I
took the chief of your tribes, wise men,
and known, Pand 'made them heads
over you, captains over thousands, and
captains over hundreds, and captains
over fifties, and captains over tens, and
i6iofficers among your tribes. And I
charged your judges at that time, say-
ing. Hear the causes between your bre-
thren, and ■■judge righteously between
every man and his brother, and the
17 stranger that is with him. ^Ye shall
not 'respect persons in judgment; but
you shall hear the small as well as the
great; you shall not be afraid of the face
of m.in; for 'the judgment is God's: and
the cause that is too hard for you,
"bring it unto, me, and I will hear it.
■8 And I commanded you at that time all
the things which ye should do.
19 And when we departed from Horeb,
''we went through all that great and ter-
rible wilderness, which you saw by the
way of the mountain of the Amorites,
as the Lord our God commanded us;
20 and vwe came to Kadesh-barnea. And
I said unto you, Ye are come unto the
mountain of the Amorites, which the
21 Lord our God doth give unto us. Be-
hold, the Lord thy God hath set the
land before thee: go up (zw/ possess //,
as the Lord God of thy fathers hath
said unto thee; fear not, neither ^be
22 discouraged. And ye oime near unto
me every one of you, and said, We will
send men before us, and they shall

unto me, ^We have sinned against the 'Num.14.40.

manded us. And when ye had girded
on every man his weapons of war, ye
42 were ready to go up into the hill. And
the Lord said unto me. Say unto them,
^Go not up, neither fight; for I am not 'Num.i4-42-

43 your enemies. So I spake unto you;
and you would not hear, but ''rebelled ' "■■• ^•

■^Elath, and from 'Ezioii-gaber, we turn-
ed and passed by the way of the wilder-
ness of Moab. And the Lord said 9
unto me, "Distress not the Moabites,
neither 'contend with them in battle:
for I will not give thee of their land for
a possession; because I have given ^Ar
unto ''the children of Lot for a posses-
sion. ('The Emims dwelt therein in 10
times past, a people gTeat, and many,
and tall, as ""the Anakims; which alson
were accounted "giants, as the Anakims;
but the Moabites call them Emims.
°The Horims also dwelt in Seir before- 12
time; but the children of Esau 'succeed-
ed them, when they had destroyed them
from before them, and dwelt in their
'stead; as Pisrael did unto the land of
his possession, which the Lord gave
unto them.) Now rise up, '^ said J, and 13
get you over the "brook Zered. And
we went over the 'brook Zered. And 14
the space in which we came from ■'Ka-
desh-barnea, until we were come over
the 'brook Zered, 7vas thirty and eight
years; ^ until all the generation of the
men of war were wasted out from
among the host, as the Lord sware
unto them. For indeed the hand of the 15
Lord was against them, to destroy them
from among the host, until they were
consumed.
So it came to pass, when all the men 16
of war were consumed and dead from
among the people, that the Lord spake 17
unto me, saying. Thou art to pass over is
through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day :
and when thou comest nigh over against 19
the children of Amnion, distress them
not, nor •= meddle with them: for I will
not give thee of the land of the children
of Amnion any possession; because I
have given it unto 'the children of Lot
for a possession. (That also was ac-20
counted a land of "giants: giants dwelt
therein in old time; and the Ammon-
ites call them •Zamzumniims; *a people 21
great, and many, and tall, as the Ana-
kims ; but the Lord destroyed them
before them ; and they succeeded them,
and dwelt in their stead : as he did to 22
the children of Esau, which dwelt in
Seir, when he destroyed s'the Horims
from before them; and they succeeded
them, and dwelt in their stead even
unto this day: and ^the Avims which 23
dwelt in Hazerim, even unto »Azzah,
^the Caphtorims, which came forth out
of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt
24 in their stead.) '^Rise ye up, take your
journey, and ''pass over the river Anion :
behold, I have given into thy hand
Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon,
and his land: 'begin to possess it, and
25= contend with him in battle. This day
will I begin to put 'the dread of thee
and the fear of thee upon the nations
that are under the whole heaven, who
shall hear report of thee, and shall
tremble, and be in anguish because of
thee.
26 And I sent messengers out of the wil-
derness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king
of Heshbon ^with words of peace, say-
27ing, sLet me pass through thy land:
I will go along by the high way, I will
neither turn unto the right hand nor to
28 the left. '■Thou shalt sell me meat for
money, that I may eat; and give me
water for money, that I may drink : only
29 1 will pass through on my feet; ('as the
children of Esau which dwell in Seir,
and the Moabites which dwell in Ar,
did unto me;) until I shall pass over
Jordan into the land which the Lord
30 our God giveth us. But •'Sihon king of
Heshbon would not let us pass by him :
for the Lord thy God 'hardened his
spirit, and made his heart obstinate,
that he might deliver him into thy hand,
31 as appcareth this day. And the Lord
said unto me. Behold, I have begun to
give Sihon and his land before thee:
"» begin to possess, that thou mayest
32 inherit his land. Then Sihon came out
against us, he and all his people, to
33 fight "(7/ Jahaz. And "the Lord our
God delivered him before us; and I'we
smote him, and his sons, and all his
34 people. And we took all his cities at
that time, and ^utterly destroyed 'the
men, and the women, and the little
ones, of evc^' c-'v, we left none to
35 remain: only the cattle we took for a
prey unto ourselves, and the spoil of
36 the cities which we took. ■'From Aroer,
which is by the brink of the river of
Arnon, and from the city that is by the
river, even unto Gilead, there was not
one city too strong for us: Hhe Lord
37 our God delivered all unto us : only unto
the land of the children of Amnion thou
earnest not, tior unto any place of the
river 'Jabbok, nor unto the cities in the
mountains, nor unto "whatsoever the
Lord our God forbad us.

way to Bashan: and ''Og the king of

Bashan came out against us, he and all
his people, to battle ^at Edrei. And 2
the Lord said unto me. Fear him not:
for I will deliver him, and all his peo-
ple, and his land, into thy hand; and
thou shalt do unto him as thou didst
unto "^Sihon king of the Amorites, which
dwelt at Heshbon. So the Lord our 3
God delivered into our hands Og also,
the king of Bashan, and all his people:
''and we smote him until none was left
to him remaining. And we took all his 4
cities at that time, there was not a city
which we took not from them, three-
score cities, "^all the region of Argob,
the kingdom of Og in Bashan. All s
these cities were fenced n'ti/i high walls,
gates, and bars; beside funwalled towns
a great many. And we e utterly de- 6
stroyed them, as we did unto Sihon
king ''of Heshbon, utterly destroying
'the men, women, and children, of every
city. But all the cattle, and the spoil 7
of the cities, we took for a prey to our-
selves. And we took at that time out 8
of the hand of the two kings of the
Amorites the land that roas on f/tis side
Jordan, from the river of Arnon unto
mount Hermon; {which 'Hermon the 9
Sidonians call "^Sirion; and the Amor-
ites call it 'Shenir;) all the cities of 10
"'the plain, and all Gilead, and all Ba-
shan, unto "Salchah and Edrei, cities
of the kingdom of Og in Bashan. For n
only Og king of Bashan remained of the
remnant of "giants; behold, his bedstead
was a bedstead of iron; is it not in
pRabbath of the children of Amnion?
nine cubits was the length thereof, and
four cubits the breadth of it, after the
cubit lof a man. And this land, which i:^
we possessed at that time, ■'from Aroer,
which is by the river Arnon, and half
mount Gilead, and ''the cities thereof,
gave I unto the Reubenites and to the
Gadites. And 'the rest of Gilead, and 13
all Bashan, being the kingdom of Og,
gave I unto the half tribe of Manasseh;
"all the region of Argob, with all Ba-
shan, which was called the land of
"giants. >■ Jair the son of Manasseh 14
took all the country of Argob unto the
coasts of ^Geshuri and Maachathi; and
called them after his own name, Bashan-
vhavoth-jair, unto this day. ^And 1 15
gave Gilead unto Machir. And unto 16
the Reubenites ''and unto the Gadites I
gave from (Jilead even unto the river
Arnon, half the valley, and the border,
even unto the river Jabbok, '^ which is
the border of the children of Amnion;
17 the plain also, and Jordan, and the
coast thereof, from ''Chinnereth ^even
unto the sea of the plain, ^even the salt
sea, 'under Ashdoth-pisgah eastward.
18 And I commanded you at that time, say-
ing. The Lord your God hath given you
this land to possess it: ye shall pass over
samied before your brethren the children
19 of Israel, all /A?/(?/r* meet for the war. But
your wives, and your little ones, and your
cattle, {for '' I know that ye have much
cattle,) shall abide in your cities which
20 1 have given you; until 'the Lord have
given rest unto your brethren, as well as
unto you, and until they also possess the
land which the Lord your God hath
given them beyond Jordan: and then
shall ye return every man unto his pos-
21 session, which I have given you. And
I commanded ''Joshua at that time, say-
ing. Thine eyes have seen all that the
Lord your God hath done unto these
two kings: so shall the Lord do unto
all the kingdoms whither thou passest.
22 Ye shall not fear them: for .'the Lord
23 your God he shall fight for you. And I
besought the Lord at that time, saying,
24 O Lord God, thou hast begun to shew
thy servant ""thy greatness, and thy
mighty hand: for "what God is there in
heaven or in earth, that can do accord-
ing to thy works, and according to thy
25 might? I pray thee, let me go over,
and see "the good land that is beyond
Jordan, that goodly mountain, and PLe-
26banon. But the Lord iwas wroth with
me for your sakes, and would not hear
me: and the Lord said unto me, ■'Let
it suffice thee; speak no more unto me
27 of this matter. ^Get thee up into the
top of 'Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes
westward, and northward, and south-
ward, and eastward, and behold it with
thine eyes: for thou shalt not go over
2Sthis Jordan. But 'charge Joshua, and
"encourage him, "and strengthen him:
for "he shall go over before this people,
and he shall cause them to inherit the
29 land which thou shalt see. So we abode
in "the valley over against Beth-peor.
Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto
='the statutes and unto the judgments,
which I teach you, for to do them, that
ye may live, and go in and possess the
land which the Lord God of your fathers
agiveth you. ''Ye shall not add unto the
word which I command you, neither

shall you diminish ought from it, that ye
may keep the commandments of the
Lord your God which I command you.
Your eyes have seen what the Lord did 3
because of <=Baal-peor: for all the men
that followed Baal-peor, the Lord thy
God hath destroyed them from among
you. But ye that did cleave unto the 4
Lord your God are alive every one of
you this day. Behold, I have taught 5
you sta.utes and judgments, even as the
Lord my God commanded me, that
ye should do so in the land whither ye
go to possess it. Keep therefore and 6
do them; for this is ''your wisdom and
your understanding in the sight of the
nations, which shall hear all these
statutes, and say, "= Surely this great na-
tion is a wise and understanding people.
For fwhat nation is there so great, who 7
hath sGod so nigh unto them, as the
Lord our God is in all things that we
call upon him for? And what nation 8
is there so great, that hath statutes and
judgments so righteous as all this law,
which I set before you this day? Only 9
take heed to thyself, and ''keep thy soul
diligently, lest thou forget the things
which thine eyes have seen, and lest
they depart from thy heart all the days
of thy life: but 'teach them thy sons,
and thy sons' sons; specialty ''the day 10
that thou stoodest before the Lord thy
God in Horeb, when the Lord said
unto me. Gather me the people toge-
ther, and I will make them hear my
words, that they may learn to fear me
all the days that they shall live upon the
earth, and that they may teach their
children. And ye came near and stood n
under the mountain; and the 'mountain
burnt with fire unto the 'midst of hea-
ven, with darkness, clouds, and thick
darkness. '"And the Lord spake unto 12
you out of the midst of the fire: "ye
heard the voice of the words, but saw
no similitude; "'only ye heard a voice.
PAnd he declared unto you his cove- 13
nant, which he commanded you to per-
form, a'enten 'i commandments; and ■'he
WTOte them upon two tables of stone.
And ^the Lord commanded me at that 14
time to teach you statutes and judg-
ments, that ye might do them in the
land whither ye go over to possess it
'Take ye therefore good heed unto 'your- 15
selves; for ye saw no manner of "simili-
tude on the day that the Lord spake
unto you in Horeb out of the midst of
16 the fire : lest ye corrupt yourselves, and
"make you a graven image, the simili-
tude of any y figure, ^the likeness of male
17 or female, the ^likeress of any beast
that is on the earth, the ^likeness of any
18 winged fowl that flieth in the air, the
^likeness of any thi.ig that c eepeth on
the ground, the ^likeness of any fish that
19 is in the waters beneath the earth : and
lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven,
and when thou seest *the sun, and the
moon, and the stars, e-oen "^all the host
of heaven, '^shouldest be driven to wor-
ship them, and serve them, which the
Lord thy God hath 'divided unto all
20 nations under the whole heaven. But
the Lord hath taken you, and brought
you forth '^out of the iron furnace, even
out of Egypt, to be unto him a people
21 <=of inheritance, as_jY are this day. Fur-
thermore f the Lord was angry with me
for your sakes, and sware that I should
not go over Jordan, and that / should
not go in unto that good land, which
the Lord thy God giveth thee for an
22 inheritance : but si must die in this
land, ''I must not go over Jordan: V)ut
ye shall go over, and possess 'that good
23 land. ''Take heed unto yourselves, '=lect
ye forget the covenant of the Lord your
God, which he made with you, 'and
make you a graven image, or the like-
ness of any thing, which the Lord thy
24 God hath forbidden thee. For ""the
Lord thy God is a consuming fire,
25«wi "a jealous God. When thou shalt
beget children, and children's children,
and ye shall have remained long in the
land, and "shall corrupt yourselves, and
make a graven image, ar the likeness of
any thing, and Pshall do evil in the sight
of the Lord thy God, p to provoke him
26 to anger: 1I call heaven and earth to
witness agaiast you ///if day, that ye shall
soon utterly perish from off' the land
whereunto you go over Jordan to possess
it; ye shall not prolong your days upon
27 it, but shall utterly be destroyed. And
the Lord ■■ shall scatter you among the
nations, and ye shall be left *few in
number among the heathen, whither the
23 Lord shall lead you. And 'there ye
shall serve gods, the work of men's
hands, wood and stone, "which neither
29 see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. "But
if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord
thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou
seek him with all thy heart and with all
30 thy soul. When thou art in tribulation,

and all these things *are come upon thee,
'^evai in the latter days, if thou ^turn to
the Lord thy God, and shalt be obedi-
ent unto his voice; (for the Lord thy 31
God is ^a merciful God;) he will not
forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor
forget the covenant of thy fathers which
he sware unto them. For ^ask now of 32
the days that are past, which were before
thee, since the day that God created
man upon the earth, and ask I'from the
one sideof heaven unto the other, whether
there hath been any such thing as this
great thing is, or hath been heard like
it? "^ Did «'t7- people hear the voice of 33
God speaking out of the midst of the
fire, as thou hast heard, and live? Or 34
hath God assayed to go and take him a
nation from the midst of another nation,
<*by temptations, "^by signs, and 'by won-
ders, and by war, and fby a mighty
hand, and sby a stretched out arm,
and ''by great terrors, according to all
that the Lord your God did for you in
Egypt before your eyes? Unto thee it 35
was shewed, tiiat thou mightest know
that the Lord he/VGod; '^fhcrcis none
else besides him. ''Out of heaven he 36
made thee to hear his voice, that he
might instruct thee : and upon earth he
shewed thee his great fire; and thou
heardest his words out of the midst of
the fire. And because 'he loved thy 37
fathers, therefore he chose their seed
after them, and brought thee out in his
sight with his mighty power out of
Egypt; ™to drive out nations from be- 38
fore thee greater and mightier than thou
aii, to bring tliee in, to give thee their
land for an inheritance, as it is this
day. Know therefore this day, and 39
consider// in thine heart, that "the Lord
he is God in heaven above, and upon
the earth beneath: ° there is none else.
pThou shalt keep therefore his statutes, 40
and his commandments, which I com-
mand thee this day, ''that it may go
well with thee, and with thy children
after thee, and that thou mayest pro-
long thy days upon the earth, which the
Lord thy God giveth thee, for ever.
Then Moses ■'severed three cities on 41
this side Jordan toward the sunrising;
that the slayer might flee thither, which 42
should kill his neighbour ^unawares, and
hated him not 'in times past; and that
fleeing unto one of these cities he might
live : namely, " Bezer in the wilderness, 43
in "the plain country, of the Reubenites;
and Ramoth in Gilead, of the Gadites;
and Golan in Bashan, of the Manassites.
44 And this is the law which Moses set
45 before the children of Israel: these are
the testimonies, and the statutes, and
the judgments, which Moses spake unto
the children of Israel, after they came
46 forth out of Egypt, on this side Jordan,
"in the valley over against Beth-peor,
in the land of Sihon king of the Amor-
ites, who dwelt at Heshbon, whom
Moses and the children of Israel vsmote,
after they were come forth out of E-
47 gypt : and they possessed his land, and
the land ^of Og king of Bashan, two
kings of the Amorites, which were on this
43 side Jordan /crwz/v/ the sunrising; "from
Aroer, which is by the bank of the river
Arnon, even unto mount ''Sion, which
49 w ''Hermon, and all the plain on this
side Jordan eastward, even unto ''the
sea of the plain, under the '^springs of
Pisgah.
And Moses called all Israel, and said
unto them. Hear, O Israel, the statutes
and judgments which I speak in your
ears this day, that ye may learn them,
2 and *keep, and do them. ^The Lord
our God made a covenant with us in
3Horeb. The Lord ''made not this co-
venant with our fathers, but with us, CTen
us, who are all of us here alive this day.
4 The Lord talked with you '^face to face
in the mount out of the midst of the fire,
5 ('' I stood between the Lord and you at
that time, to shew you the word of the
Lord: for "^ye were afraid by reason of
the fire, and went not up into the mount;)
saying,
6 'I am the Lord thy God, which brought
thee out of the land of Egypt, from the

8 none other gods before me. Thou shalt
not make thee any graven image, or any

above, or that is in the earth beneath, or
that is in the waters beneath the earth :
9 thou shalt not bow down thyself unto
them, nor serve them: for I the Lord
thy God am a jealous God, visiting the
iniquity of the fathers upon the children
unto the third and fourth generation of
10 them that hate me, sand shewing mercy
unto thousands of them that love me

it, as the Lord thy God hath command-
ed thee. Six days thou shalt labour, 13
and do all thy work: but ''the seventh 14
day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God :
in it thou shalt not do any work, thou,
nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy
manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor
thine O-X, nor thine ass, nor any of thy
cattle, nor thy stranger that is within
thy gates ; that thy manservant and thy
maidservant may rest as well as thou.
'And remember that thou wast a servant is
in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord
thy God brought thee out thence
''through a mighty hand and by a
stretched out arm: therefore the Lord
thy God commanded thee to keep the
sabbath day. Honour thy father and 16
thy mother, as the Lord thy God hath
commanded thee; 'that thy days may be
prolonged, and that it may go well with
thee, in the land which the Lord thy
God giveth thee. ""Thou shalt not kill. 17

Neither shalt thou steal. Neither shalt '^
thou bear false witness against thy neigh-

neighbours wife, neither shalt thou covet

bour's.
These words the Lord spake unto all 22
your assembly in the mount out of the
midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the
thick darkness, icith a great voice : and
he added no more. And "he wrote them
in two tables of stone, and delivered
them unto me. And it came to pass, 23
"when ye heard the voice out of the
midst of the darkness, (for the mountain
did burn with fire,) that ye came near
unto me, even all the heads of your
tribes, and your elders ; and ye said. Be- 24

his glory and Phis greatness, and ■'we
have heard his voice out of the midst of
the fire : we have seen this day that (iod
doth talk with man, and he ■'liveth.

this great fire will consume us: *if we

"which thou buildedst not, and houses n

diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees,
which thou plantedst not; "when thou
shalt have eaten and be full; thai be- 12
ware lest thou forget the Lord, which
brought thee forth out of the land of
Egypt, from the house of 'bondage.
Thou shalt pfear the Lord thy 13
God, and serve him, and 1 shalt swear
by his name. Ye shall not ''go after 14
other gods, ^of the gods of the people
which a>-c round about you; (for 'the 15
Lord thy God is a Jealous God among
you) "lest the anger of the Lord thy
God be kindled against thee, and destroy
thee from off the face of the earth. " Ye lO
shall not tempt the Lord your
God, yas ye tempted ////// in Massah.
You shall ^diligently keep the command- 17
ments of the Lord your God, and his
testimonies, and his statutes, which he
hath commanded thee. And thou shalt is
do t/iaf which is right and good in the
sight of the Lord: *that it may be well
with thee, and that thou mayest go in
and possess the good land which the
Lord sware unto thy fathers, ''to cast 19
out all thine enemies from before thee,
as the Lord hath spoken. ^;«/<^when2o

saying, What wean the testimonies, and
the statutes, and the judgments, which
the Lord our God hath commanded
you? then thou shalt say unto thy son, 21
^Ve were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt;
and the Lord brought us out of Egj'pt
''with a mighty hand: =and the Lord 22
shewed signs and wonders, great and
♦sore, upon Egjq^t, upon Pharaoh, and
upon all his household, before our eyes :
and he brought us out from thence, that 23
he might bring us in, to give us the
land which he sware unto our furthers.
And the Lord commanded us to do all 24
these statutes, fto fear the Lord our
God, sfor our good always, that ''he
might preserve us alive, as // is at this
day. And 'it shall be our righteousness, 25
if we observe to do all tliese command-
ments before the Lord our God, as he
hath commanded us.
When the =" Lord thy God shall bring
thee into the land whither thou goest to
possess it, and hath cast out many na-
tions before thee, ''the Hittites, and the
Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the
Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the
Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations
2'=greater and mightier than thou; and
when the Lord thy God shall ''deliver
them before thee; thou shalt smite them,
and "^utterly destroy them; fthou shalt
make no covenant with them, nor shew
3 mercy unto them: sneither shalt thou
make marriages with them; thy daughter
thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his
daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.
4 For they will turn away thy son from
following me, that they may serve other
gods: ''so will the anger of the Lord
be kindled against you, and destroy thee
5 suddenly. But thus shall ye deal with
them; ye shall 'destroy their altars, and
break down their 'images, and cut down
'their groves, and burn their graven im-
I. ages with fire. ''For thou art a holy
people unto the Lord thy God : the
Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a
'special people unto himself, above all
people that are upon the face of the
7 earth. The Lord did not set his love
upon you, nor choose you, because ye
were moe in number than any people;
for ye were ""the fewest of all people:
shut "because the Lord loved you, and
because he would keep "the oath which
he had sworn unto your fathers, hath
the Lord brought you out Pwith a mighty
hand, and redeemed you out of the
house of bondmen, from the hand of
9 Pharaoh king of Eg}'pt. Know there-

that hateth him, he will repay him to
11 his face. Thou shalt therefore keep the
commandments, and the statutes, and
the judgments, which I command thee
i2//;/j day, to do them. "Wherefore it
shall come to pass, *if ye hearken to
these judgments, and keep, and do them,
that the Lord thy God shall keep unto
thee ^the covenant and the mercy which

sbellious against the Lord. Also Pin
Horeb ye provoked the Lord to wrath,
so that the Lord was angry with you to
9 have destroyed you. iWhen I was gone
up into the mount to receive the tables
of stone, er'en the tables of the covenant
which the Lord made with you, then I
abode in the mount ''forty days and forty
nights, I neither did eat bread nor drink
10 water : ^and the Lord delivered unto me
two tables of stone written with the
finger of God; and on them 7i'as written
according to all the words, which the
Lord spake with you in the mount out
of the midst of the fire 'in the day of the
n assembly. And it came to pass at the
end of forty days and forty nights, that
the Lord gave me the two tables of
stone, evai the tables of the covenant.
12 And the Lord said unto me, "Arise,
get thee down quickly from hence; for
thy people which thou hast brought forth
out of Egypt have corrupted thc//isdves ;
they are ''quickly turned aside out of
the way which I commanded them; they
13 have made them a molten image. Fur-
thermore 5' the Lord spake unto me,
saying, I have seen this people, and be-
14 hold, ^it is a stiffnecked people: "let me
alone, that I may destroy them, and
''blot out their name from under hea-
ven: "^and I will make of thee a nation
15 mightier and greater than they. ''So I
turned and came down from the mount,
and "^the mount burned with fire: and
the two tables of the covenant were in
16 my two hands. And 'I looked, and be-
hold, ye had sinned against the Lord
your God, a/ui had made you a molten
calf: ye had turned aside quickly out of
the way which the Lord had command-
17 ed you. And I took the two tables,
and cast them out of my two hands, and
18 brake them before your eyes. And I
sfell down before the Lord, '^as at the
first, forty days and forty nights : I did
neither eat bread, nor drink water, be-
cause of all your sins which ye sinned,
'in doing wickedly in the sight of the
19 Lord, to provoke him to anger. For I
was afraid of the anger and hot displea-
sure, wherejf'///; the Lord was wroth
against you to destroy you. JBut the
Lord hearkened unto me at that time
20 also. And the Lord was very angry

Stamped it, aut/ ground ii very small,
ez'en until // 7i'as as small as dust : and I
cast the dust thereof into the brook that
descended out of the mount. And at 22
'Taberah, and at "Massah, and at "Ki-
broth-hattaavah, ye provoked the Lord
to wrath. Likewise "when the Lord 2^
sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying,
Go up and possess the land which I
have given you ; then you rebelled against
the commandment of the Lord your
God, and Pye believed him not, nor
hearkened to his voice. 1 You have been 24
rebellious against the Lord from the day
that I knew you. 'Thus I fell down be- 25
fore the Lord forty days and forty nights,
as I fell down a/ the Jirst; because the
Lord had said he would destroy you.
^I prayed therefore unto the Lord, and 26
said, O Lord God, destroy not thy peo-
ple and thine inheritance, which thou
hast redeemed through thy greatness,
which thou hast brought forth out of
Egypt with a mighty hand. Remember 27
thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Ja-
cob; look not unto the stubbornness of
this people, nor to their wickedness, nor
to their sin: lest the land whence thou 2S
broughtest us out say, 'Because the Lord
was not able to bring them into the land
which he promised them, and because
he hated them, he hath brought them
out to slay them in the wilderness. "Yet 29
they are thy people and thine inherit-
ance, which thou broughtest out by thy
mighty power and by thy stretched out
arm.
At that time the Lord said unto me,
^'Hew thee two tables of stone like unto
the first, and come up unto me into the
mount, and ''make thee an ark of wood.
And I will write on the tables the words 2
that were in the first tables which thou
brakest, and "^thou shalt put them in
the ark. And I made an ark of ''shit- 3
tim wood, and = hewed two tables of
stone like unto the first, and went up
into the mount, having the two tables
in mine hand. And Hie wrote on the 4
tables, according to the first TOting, the
ten 'commandments, s which the Lord
spake unto you in the mount out of the
midst of the fire ''in the day of the as-
sembly: and the Lord gave them unto
me. And I turned myself and 'came 5
down from the mount, and ''put the
tables in the ark which I had made;
'and there they be, as the Lord com-
manded me. And the children of Is- 6

dren which have not known, and which

Lord your God, ''his greatness, 'his
mighty hand, and his stretched out arm,

he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pha-

army of Egypt, unto their horses, and
to their chariots; show he made the
water of the Red sea to overflow them
as they pursued after you, and how the
Lord hath destroyed them unto this
day; and what he did unto you in the 5
wilderness, until ye came into this place;
and ''what he did unto Dathan and Abi- 6

ben : how the earth opened her mouth,
and swallowed them up, and their house-

mand you this day, that ye may ''be
strong, and go in and possess the land,
whither ye go to possess it; and 'that 9
ye may prolong your days in the land,
"'which the Lord sware unto your fa-
thers to give unto them and to their
seed, " a land that fioweth with milk
and honey. For the land, whither thou 10
goest in to possess it, is not as the land
of Egypt, from whence ye came out,
where thou sowedst thy seed, and °wa-
teredst it with thy foot, as a garden of
herbs: Pbut the land, whither ye go tOn
possess it, is a land of hills and valleys,
a)id drinketh water of the rain of hea-
ven : a land which the Lord thy God 12
•careth for: ithe eyes of the Lord thy
God are always upon it, from the be-
ginning of the year even unto the end
of the year. And it shall come to pass, 13
if you shall hearken diligently unto my
commandments which I command you
this day, 'to love the I^ord your God,
and to serve him with all your heart
and with all your soul, that ^I will give 14
yoii the rain of your land in his due
season, 'the first rain and the latter rain,
that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and
15 thy wine, and thine oil. "And 1 will
'send grass in thy fields for thy cattle,
16 that thou mayest "eat and be full. Take
heed to yourselves, that your heart be
not ydeceived, and ye turn aside, and
^ serve other gods, and worship them ;
17 and the7i »the Lord's wrath be kindled
against you, and he ''shut up the heaven,
that there be no rain, and that '^the land
yield not her fruit; and lest ''ye perish
quickly from off the good land which
18 the Lord giveth you. Therefore '^shall
ye lay up these my words in your heart
and in your soul, and fbind them for
a sign upon your hand, that they may
19 be as frontlets between your eyes, s And
ye shall teach them your children, speak-
ing of them when thou sittest in thine
house, and when thou walkest by the
way, when thou liest down, and when
20 thou risest up. ''And thou shalt write
them upon the door posts of thine
21 house, and upon thy gates: that 'your
days may be multiplied, and the days
of your children, in the land which the
Lord sware unto your fathers to give
them, '^as the days of heaven upon the
22 earth. For if 'ye shall diligently keep
all these commandments which I com-
mand you, to do them, to love the
Lord your God, to walk in all his ways,

pass over Jordan to go in to possess

I set before you this day.
^ These are the statutes and judg-
ments, which ye shall observe to do in
the land, which the Lord God of thy
fathers giveth thee to possess it, ''all
the days that ye live upon the earth.
Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, 2
wherein the nations which ye shall 'pos-
sess served their gods, '^upon the high
mountains, and upon the hills, and
under every green tree : and you shall 3
'overthrow their altars, and break ''their
pillars, and burn their groves with fire;
and ^you shall hew down the graven
images of their gods, and destroy the
names of them out of that place, f Ye 4
shall not do so unto the Lord your
God. But Sunto the place which the 5
Lord your God shall choose out of all
your tribes to put his name there, ei'en
unto his habitation shall ye seek, and

shall bring your burnt offerings, and
your sacrifices, and your ''tithes, and

vows, and your freewill offerings, and

flocks: and J there ye shall eat before 7

joice in all ' that you put your hand unto,
ye and your households, wherein the

shall not do after all the things that we
do here this day, ""every man whatso-

are not as yet come to the rest and to
the inheritance, which the Lord your
God giveth you. But when "ye go over 10
Jordan and dwell in the land which the

and 7vhai he giveth you rest from all
your enemies round about, so that ye
dwell in safety; then there shall be "an

choose to cause his name to dwell there ;
thither shall ye bring all that I com-
mand you ; your burnt oflferings, and
your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave
oftering of your hand, and all 'your

12 Lord: and Pye shall rejoice before the
Lord your God, ye, and your sons, and
your daughters, and your menservants,

that is within youv gates ; forasmuch as
ihe hath no part nor inheritance with
13 you. ■'Take heed to thyself that thou
ofter not thy burnt offerings in every
14 place that thou seest: ^but in the place
which the Lord shall choose in one of
thy tribes, there thou shalt ofler thy
burnt oflferings, and there thou shalt do
15 all that I command thee. Notwith-
standing ' thou mayest kill and eat flesh
in all thy gates, whatsoever thy soul
lusteth after, according to the blessing
of the Lord thy God which he hath
given thee: "the unclean and the clean
may eat thereof, •■'as of the roebuck, and

the blood; ye shall pour it upon the
17 earth as water. Thou mayest not eat
\vithin thy gates the tithe of thy corn,
or of thy wine, or of thy oil, or the
firstlings of thy herds or of thy flock,
nor any of thy vows which thou vowest,
nor thy freewill offerings, or heave of-

heed to thyself that thou forsake not
the Levite 'as long as thou livest upon

shall enlarge thy border, •'as he hath
promised thee, and thou shalt say, I

not the blood: 'for the blood is the
life; and thou mayest not eat the life
with the flesh. Thou shalt not eat it 524
thou shalt pour it upon the earth as
water. Thou shalt not eat it; fthat it 25
may go well with thee, and with thy
children after thee, swhen thou shalt do
that 7uhich is right in the sight of the
Lord. Only thy *> holy things which 26
thou hast, and 'thy vows, thou shalt
take, and go unto the place which the
Lord shall choose: and "^thou shalt offer 27
thy burnt offerings, the flesh and the
blood, upon the altar of the Lord thy
God: and the blood of thy sacrifices
shall be poured out upon the altar of
the Lord thy God, and thou shalt eat
the flesh. Observe and hear all these 28
words which I command thee, 'that it
may go well with thee, and with thy
children after thee for ever, when thou
doest that which is good and right in
the sight of the Lord thy God. When 29
"the Lord thy God shall cut off the
nations from before thee, whither thou
goest to possess them, and thou *suc-
ceedest them, and dwellest in their
Idnd; take heed to thyself "that thou 30
be not snared *by following them, after
that they be destroyed from before
thee; and that thou inquire not after
their gods, saying. How did these na-
tions serve their gods? even so will I
do likewise. "Thou shalt not do so 31
unto the Lord thy God : for every
♦abomination to the Lord, which he
hateth, have they done unto their gods;
for Peven their sons and their daughters
they have burnt in the fire to their gods.
What thing soever I command you, ob- 32
serve to do it: "ithou shalt not add
thereto, nor diminish from it.
If there arise among you a prophet,
or a ^dreamer of dreams, ''and giveth
thee a sign or a wonder, and "^the sign 2
or the wonder come to pass, whereof he
spake unto thee, saying. Let us go after
other gods, which thou hast not known,
and let us serve them; thou shalt not 3
hearken unto the words of that prophet,
or that dreamer of dreams: for the
Lord your God •'proveth you, to know
whether you love the Lord your God
with all your heart and with all your
soul. Ye shall 'walk after the Lord 4
your God, and fear him, and keep his
commandments, and obey his voice,
and you shall sers-e him, and ^cleave
5 unto him. And sthat prophet, or that
dreamer of dreams, shall be put to
death; because he hath 'spoken to turn
you away from the Lord your God,
which brought you out of the land of
Egypt, and redeemed you out of the
house of bondage, to Hhrust thee out of
the way which the Lord thy God com-
manded thee to walk in. ''So shalt
thou put the evil away from the midst
6 of thee. 'If thy brother, the son of thy
mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or
Hhe wife of thy bosom, or thy friend,
'< which is as thine own soul, entice thee
secretly, saying, Let us go and serve
other gods, which thou hast not known,
7 thou, nor thy fathers; namely, 'of the
gods of the people which are round
about you, nigh unto thee, or far off
from thee, from the one end of the earth
even unto the other end of the earth;
8 thou shalt '"not consent unto him, nor
hearken unto him; neither "shall thine
eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare,
9 neither shalt thou conceal him : but
thou shalt surely kill him; "thine hand
shall be first upon him to put him to
death, and afterwards the hand of all
10 the people. PAnd thou shalt stone him
with stones, that he die; because he
hath sought to ^thrust thee away from
the Lord thy God, which brought thee
out of the land of Egypt, from the
11 house of 'bondage. And 'all Israel
shall hear, and fear, and shall do no
more any such wickedness as this is
12 among you. ''If thou shalt hear say in
one of thy cities, which the Lord thy
God hath given thee to dwell there, say-
i^mg, Certain men, "the children of Belial,
are gone out from among you, and have
^withdrawn the inhabitants of their city,
saying. Let us go and serve other gods,
14 which ye have not known; then shalt
thou inquire, and make search, and a.sk
'diligently; and behold, if it be truth,
and the thing certain, that such abomi-
15 nation is wrought among you; thou shalt
surely smite the inhabitants of that city
with the edge of the sword, "destroy-
ing it utterly, and all that is therein,
and the cattle thereof, with the edge
16 of the sword. And thou shalt gather
all the spoil of it into the midst of
the street thereof, and shalt "burn with
fire the city, and all the spoil there-
of every whit, for the Lord thy God:

from the fierceness of his anger, and
shew thee mercy, and have compassion
upon thee, and multiply thee, ""as he
hath sworn unto thy fathers; when i8
thou shall hearken to the voice of the
Lord thy God, to keep all his com-
mandments which I command thee this
day, <=to do that ichich is right in the
eyes of the Lord thy God.
Ye are »the children of the Lord
your God: ''ye shall not cut yourselves,
nor <=make any baldness between your
eyes for the dead. ^ For thou art a holy 2
people unto the Lord thy God, and the
Lord hath chosen thee to be^a peculiar
people unto himself, above all the na-
tions that arc ujion the earth.
fThou shalt not eat any abominable 3
thing. sThese are the beasts which ye 4
shall eat: the o.\, the sheep, and the
goat, i^the hart, and ''the roebuck, and 5
•"the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and
the 'pygarg, and 'the wild ox, and the
chamois. And every beast that parteth 6
the hoof, and cleaveth the cleft into two
claws, and cheweth the cud amongst the
beasts: that ye shall eat. Nevertheless 7
these ye shall not eat of them that chew
the cud, or of them that divide the
cloven hoof; (zxthe camel, and the hare,
and the coney : for they chew the cud,
but divide not the hoof; therefore they
are unclean unto you. And the swine, s
because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth
not the cud, it is unclean unto you: ye
shall not eat of their flesh, -"nor touch
their dead carcase.
These ye shall eat of all that arc in 9
the waters : all that have fins and scales
shall ye eat : and whatsoever hath not 10
fins and scales ye may not eat; it is un-
clean unto you.
Of all clean birds ye shall eat. But ,2
these are they of which ye shall not eat:
the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the
ospray, and ''the glede, ami the kite, 13
and 'the vulture after his kind, and every 14
raven after his kind, and the owl, and 15
the night hawk, and the cuckow, and
the hawk after his kind, the little owl, 16
and the great owl, and the swan, and the 17
pelican, and the gier eagle, and the cor-
morant, and the stork, and the heron is
after her kind, and the lapwing, and the
bat. And 'every creeping thing that flieth 19
is unclean unto you: ""they shall not be
eaten. But of all clean fowls ye may eat. »
21 "Ye shall not eat of any thing that
dieth of itself: thou shalt give it unto
the stranger that is in thy gates, that he
may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto
an alien: °for thou art a holy people
unto the Lord thy God. PThou shalt
not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.
22"5Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase
of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth
23 year by year. ■'And thou slialt eat before
the Lord thy God, in the place which
he shall choose to place his name there,
the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and
of thine oil, and ''the firstlings of thy
herds and of thy flocks; that thou may-
est learn to fear the Lord thy God al-
24 ways. And if the way be too long for
thee, so that thou art not able to carry
it; or 'if the place be too far from thee,
which the Lord thy God shall choose
to set his name there, when the Lord thy
=5 God hath blessed thee: then shalt thou
turn // into money, and "bind up the
money in thine hand, and shalt go unto
the place which the Lord thy God shall
26 choose: and thou shalt bestow that
money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth
after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine,
or for strong drink, or for whatsoever
thy soul 'desireth: and "thou shalt eat
there before the Lord thy God, and
thou shalt rejoice, thou and thine house-
=7 hold, and ^the Levite that is within thy
gates ; thou shalt not forsake him ; for
yhe hath no part nor inheritance with
28 thee. ^ At the end of three years thou
shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine
increase the same year, and shalt lay //
23 up within thy gates: ^and the Levite,
(because >'he hath no part nor inherit-
ance with thee,) and the stranger, and
the fatherless, and the widow, which are
within thy gates, shall come, and shall
eat and be satisfied; that ='the Lord thy
God may bless thee in all the work of
thine hand which thou doest.
At the end of '^ez'ery seven years thou
2 shalt make a release. And this is the
manner of the release: Every 'creditor
that lendeth ought unto his neighbour
shall release it; he shall not exact // of
his neighbour, or of his brother; because
3 it is called the Lord's release. ''Of a
foreigner thou mayest exact // again: but
that which is thine with thy brother thine

the Lord thy God, to observe to do all
these commandments which I command
thee f/ii's day. For the Lord thy God 6
blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and
^thou shalt lend unto many nations, but
thou shalt not borrow; and fthou shalt
reign over many nations, but they shall
not reign over thee. If there be among 7
you a poor man of one of thy brethren
within any of thy gates in thy land which
the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou
shalt not sharden thy heart, nor shut
thine hand from thy poor brother: ''but 8
thou shalt open thine hand wide unto
him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient
for his need, /// f/;ni! which he wanteth.
Beware that there be not a 'thought in 9
thy 'wicked heart, saying, The seventh
year, the year of release, is at hand; and
thine 'eye be evil against thy poor bro-
ther, and thou givest him nought; and
''he cry unto the Lord against thee, and
'it be sin unto thee. Thou shalt surely 10
give him, and "Hhine heart shall not be
grieved when thou givest unto him : be-
cause that "for this thing the Lord thy
God shall bless thee in all thy works,
and in all "that thou puttest thine hand
unto. For Pthe poor shall never cease n
out of the land : therefore I command
thee, saying, iThou shalt open thine
hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor,
and to thy needy, in thy land.
And ''if thy brother, a Hebrew man, 12
or a Hebrew woman, be sold unto thee,
and serve thee six years; then in the
seventh year thou shalt let him go free
from thee. And when thou sendest him 13
out free from thee, thou shalt not let
him go away empty: thou shalt furnish 14
him liberally out of thy flock, and out of
thy floor, and out of thy winepress: of
that where7tv//5 the Lord thy CJod hath
^blessed thee thou shalt give unto him.
And 'thou shalt remember that thou 15
wast a bondman in the land of Egypt,
and the Lord thy God redeemed thee :
therefore I command thee this thing to
day. And it shall be, "if he say unto .6
thee, I will not go away from thee; be-
cause he loveth thee and thine house,
because he is well with thee; then thou 17
shalt take an aul, and thrust it through
his ear unto the door, and he shall be
thy servant for ever. And also unto thy
maidservant thou shalt do likewise. It 18
shall not seem hard unto thee, when
thou sendest him away free from thee;

Lord thy God year by year in the place
which the Lord shall choose, thou and

there before the Lord thy God, or unto
the judge, even that man shall die: and
^thou shalt put away the evil from Is-
rael. And all the people ""shall hear, ij
and fear, and do no more presump-
tuously.
When thou art come unto the land m
which the Lord thy God giveth thee,
and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell
therein, and shalt say, ^I will set a king
over me, like as all the nations that at-e
about me ; thou shalt in any wise set 15
him king over thee, 'whom the Lord
thy God shall choose: one^ixoxn among
thy brethren shalt thou set king over
thee: thou mayest not set a stranger
over thee, which is not thy brother.
But he shall not multiply ^horses to him- 16
self, nor cause the people ^to return to
Egypt, to the end that he should multi-
ply horses: forasmuch as the Lord hath
said unto you, ^Ye shall henceforth re-
turn no more that way. Neither ^shalli?
he multiply wives to himself, that his
heart turn not away: neither shall he
greatly multiply to himself silver and
gold. ^And it shall be, when he sitteth is
upon the throne of his kingdom, that he
shall write him a copy of this law in a
book out of that n'hich is "^before "^the
priests the Levites: and "^it shall be with 19
him, and he shall read therein all the
days of his life: that Hie may learn to
fear the Lord his God, to keep all the
words of this law and these statutes, to
do them : that his heart be not lifted up 20
above his brethren, and that he stum
not aside from the commandment, to the
right hand, or to the left: ''to the end
that he may prolong his days in his king-
dom, he, and his children, in the midst
of Israel.
The priests the Levites, and all the
tribe of Levi, * shall have no part nor in-
heritance with Israel: they ''shall eat the
offerings of the Lord made by fire, and
his inheritance. Therefore shall they 2
have no inheritance among their bre-
thren : the Lord is their inheritance, as
he hath said unto them. And this shall 3
be the priest's due from the people, from
them that offer a sacrifice, whether // be
ox or sheep; and '=they shall give unto
the priest the shoulder, and the two
cheeks, and the maw. ''The firstfruit 4
a/so of thy corn, of thy wine, and of
thy oil, and the first of the fleece of
5 thy sheep, shalt thou give him. For the
Lord thy God hath chosen him out of
all thy tribes, <^to stand to minister in
the name of the Lord, him and his sons
6 for ever. And if a Levite come from
any of thy gates out of all Israel, f where
he sojourned, and come swith all the
desire of his mind ''unto the place which
7 the Lord shall choose; then he ''shall
minister in the name of the Lord his
God, 'as all his brethren the Levites do,
"= which stand there before the Lord.
8 They shall have like ''portions to eat,
beside *that which cometh of the sale of
his patrimony.
9 When thou art come into the land
which the Lord thy God giveth thee,
'thou shalt not learn to do after the abo-
10 minations of those nations. There shall
not be found among you any one ""that
maketh his son or his daughter to pass
through the fire, or " that useth divination,
or °an observer of times, or Pan en-
n chanter, or 'a witch, or ""a charmer, or
a consulter with ^familiar spirits, or ^a
12 wizard, or 'a necromancer. For all that
do these things are an abomination unto
the Lord: and "because of these abomi-
nations the Lord thy God doth drive
13 them out from before thee. Thou shalt
14 be "perfect with the Lord thy God. For
these nations, which thou shalt 'possess,
hearkened unto "observers of times, and
unto "diviners: but as for\\\tt, the Lord
thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.
15 "The Lord thy God will raise up
unto thee a Prophet from the midst
of thee, of thy brethren, like unto
i6me; unto him ye shall hearken; ac-
cording to all that thou desiredst of the
Lord thy God in Horeb ^in the day of
the assembly, saying, ^Let me not hear
again the voice of the Lord my God,
neither let me see this great fire any

said unto me, ^They have well spoken
\itliat which they have spoken. ^I will

put my words in his mouth; and "^he
shall speak unto them all that I shall

to pass, that whosoever will not
hearken unto my words which he

speak in the name of other gods, even
that prophet shall die. And if thou say 21
in thine heart, How shall we know the
word which the Lord hath not spoker^?
•■when a prophet speaketh in the name 22
of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor
come to pass, that is the thing which
the Lord hath not spoken, but the pro-
phet hath spoken it 'presumptuously:
thou shalt not be afraid of him.
When *the Lord thy God hath cut
off the nations, whose land the Lord
thy God giveth thee, and thou 'succeed-
est them, and dwellest in their cities,
and in their houses; ''thou shalt separate 2
three cities for thee in the midst of thy
land, which the Lord thy God giveth
thee to possess it. Thou shalt prepare 3
thee a way, and divide the coasts of thy
land, which the Lord thy God giveth
thee to inherit, into three parts, that
every slayer may flee thither. And this 4
is the case of the slayer, which shall flee
thither, that he may live: *= Whoso killeth
his neighbour ignorantly, whom he hated
not 'in time past; as when a man goeth 5
into the wood with his neighbour to hew
wood, and his hand fetcheth a stroke
with the axe to cut down the tree, and
the *head slippeth from the * helve, and
Uighteth upon his neighbour, that he
die; he shall flee unto one of those cities,
and live: lest '^the avenger of the blood 6
pursue the slayer, while his heart is hot,
and overtake him, because the way is
long, and * slay him; whereas he ivas not
worthy of death, inasmuch as he hated
him not Un time past. Wherefore I ^
command thee, saying, Thou shalt sepa-
rate three cities for thee. 'And if the 8
Lord thy God 'enlarge thy coast, as he
hath sworn unto thy fathers, and fgive
thee all the land which he promised to
give unto thy fathers ; if thou shalt keep 9
all these commandments to do them,
which I command thee this day, to love
the Lord thy God, and to walk ever in
his ways ; sthen shalt thou add three
cities moe for thee, beside these three:
that innocent blood be not shed in thy 10
land, which the Lord thy God giveth
theeyi'r an inheritance, and so blood be
upon thee. But ''if any man hate his n
neighbour, and lie in wait for him, and
rise up against him, and smite him 'mor-
tally that he die, and fleeth into one of
these cities : then the elders of his city 12
shall send and fetch him thence, and
deliver him into the hand of the avenger
■3 of blood, that he may die. 'Thine eye
shall not pity him, Jbut thou shalt put
away the guilt of innocent blood from
Israel, that it ?>iay go well with thee.
14 ''Thou shalt not remove thy neigh-
bour's landmark, which they of old time
have set in thine inheritance, which thou
shalt inherit in the land that the Lord
15 thy God giveth thee to possess it. One
witness shall not rise up against a man
for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any
sin that he sinneth: 'at the mouth of
two witnesses, or at the mouth of
three witnesses, shall the matter
i6be stablished. If ""a false witness
rise up against any man to testify against
17 him ^that which is wrong; then both the
men, between whom the controversy is,
shall stand before the Lord, "before the
priests and the judges, which shall be in
18 those days; and the Judges shall make
"diligent inquisition: and behold, //" the
witness l>c a false witness, and hath tes-
igtified falsely against his brother; Pthen
shall ye do unto him, as he had thought
to have done unto his brother: so 1 shalt
thou put the evil away from among you.
20 And those which remain "^ shall hear, and
fear, and shall henceforth commit no
21 more any such evil among you. *And
thine eye shall not pity; but 'life shall
go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth,
hand for hand, foot for foot.
When thou goest out to battle against
thine enemies, and seest "horses, and
chariots, and a people more than thou,
be not afraid of them: for the Lord thy
God is ''with thee, which brought thee
zup out of the land of Egj^jt. And it
shall be, when ye are come nigh unto
the battle, that the priest shall approach
3 and speak unto the people, and shall
say unto them. Hear, O Israel, you ap-
proach this day unto battle against your
enemies: let not )-our hearts 'faint, fear
not, and do not 'tremble, neither <=be ye
4 terrified because of them ; for the Lord
your God is he that goeth with you, 'to
fight for you against your enemies, to
save you.
5 And ''the officers shall speak unto the
people, saying. What man is there that
hath built a new house, and hath not
'dedicated it? let him go and return to
his house, lest he die in the battle, and
6 another man dedicate it. And what
man is he that hath planted a vineyard,
and hath not yet 'eaten of it? let him

thee, then it shall be, that all the people
that is found therein shall be tributaries

And if it will make no peace with thee, 12
but will make war against thee, then
thou shalt besiege it : and when the 13
Lord thy God hath delivered it into
thine hands, ' thou shalt smite every
male thereof with the edge of the sword :

the cattle, and all that is in the city,

'take unto thyself; and ''thou shalt eat

are very far off from thee, which are not

the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the
Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebus-
ites; as the Lord thy God hath com-
manded thee : that ™ they teach you is
not to do after all their abominations,
which they have done unto theii gods;
so should ye "sin against the Lord
your God.
When thou shalt besiege a city a long 19

thou mayest eat of them, and thou shalt
not cut them down (Tor the tree of the

thine enemies, and the Lord thy God
hath delivered them into thine hands,
11 and thou hast taken them captive, and
seest among the captives a beautiful
woman, and hast a desire unto her, that
thou wouldest have her to thy wife ;
12 then thou shalt bring her home to thine
house; and she shall shave her head,
13 and "pare her nails; and she shall put
the raiment of her captivity from off
her, and shall remain in thine house,
and ''l.)ewail her father and her mother
a full month: and after that thou shalt
go in unto her, and be her husband,
14 and she shall be thy wife. And it shall
be, if thou have no delight in her, then
thou shalt let her go whither she will;

If a man have two wives, one be- 15
loved, and another 'hated, and they
have born him children, both the be-
loved and the hated; and if the first-
born son be hers that was hated : then 16
it shall be, i^when he maketh his sons
to inherit that which he hath, that he
may not make the son of the beloved
firstborn before the son of the hated,
which is indeed the firstborn: but he 17
shall acknowledge the son of the hated
for the firstborn, by giving him a double
portion of all *that he hath: for he is
' the beginning of his strength ; ™ the
right of the firstborn is his.
If a man have a stubborn and rebel- 18
lious son, which will not obey the voice
of his father, or the voice of his mother,
and that, when they have chastened
him, will not hearken unto them: then 19
shall his father and his mother lay hold
on him, and bring him out unto the
elders of his city, and unto the gate of
his place ; and they shall say unto the 20
elders of his city, This our son is stub-
born and rebellious, he will not obey
our voice; he is "a glutton, and a drunk-
ard. And all the men of his city shall 21
stone him with stones, that he die: °so
shalt thou put evil away from among
you; Pand all Israel shall hear, and
fear.
And if a man have committed a sin 2=
"iworthy of death, and he l)e to be put to
death, and thou hang him on a tree:
■■his body shall not remain all night up- 23
on the tree, but thou shalt in any wise
bury him that day; (for ^he that is
hanged is 'accursed of God;) that
' thy land be not defiled, which the
Lord thy God giveth thee for an in-
heritance.
Thou => shalt not see thy brother's ox
or his '^sheep go astray, and hide thy-
self from them : thou shalt in any case
bring them again unto thy brother.
And if thy brother be not nigh unto 2
thee, or if thou know him not, then
thou shalt bring it unto thine own
house, and it shall be with thee until
thy brother seek after it, and thou shalt
restore it to him again. In like man- 3
ner shalt thou do with his ass; and so
shalt thou do with his raiment; and
with all lost thing oi thy brother's, which
he hath lost, and thou hast found, shalt
thou do likewise: thou mayest not hide
n thyself '^Thou shalt not see thy bro-
ther's ass or his o.x fall down by the
way, and hide thyself from them : thou
shalt surely help him to lift them up
again.
5 The woman shall not wear that which
pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a
man j)ut on a woman's garment: for all
that do so a?-e abomination unto the
6 Lord thy God. If a bird's nest chance
to be before thee in the way in any tree,
or on the ground, whether they be young
ones, or eggs, and the dam sitting upon
the young, or upon the eggs, '•thou shalt
7 not take the dam with the young: but
thou shalt in any wise let the dam go,
and take the young to thee; <=that it
may be well with thee, and that thou
8 mayest prolong thy days. When thou
buildest a new house, then thou shalt
make a battlement for thy roof, that
thou bring not blood upon thine house,
9 if any man fall from thence. Thou shalt
not sow thy vineyard ^with divers seeds :
lest the 'fruit of thy seed which thou
■ hast sown, and the fruit of thy vineyard,
10 be defiled. Thou shalt not plow with
11 an o.x and an ass together. Thou shalt
not wear a garment 8 of divers sorts, as
12 ''of woollen and linen together. 'Thou
shalt make thee •'fringes upon the four
'quarters of thy vesture, wherewith thou
coverest thyself.
13 If any man take a wife, and go in
14 unto her, and hate her, and give occa-
sions of speech against her, and bring
uj) an e\'il name upon her, and say, I
took this woman, and when I came to
15 her, I found her not a maid : then .shall
the father of the damsel, and her mo-
ther, take and bring forth the tokens of
the damsel's virginity unto the elders of
16 the city in the gate: and the damsel's
father shall say unto the elders, I gave
my daughter unto this man to wife, and
17 he hateth her; and lo, he hath given
occasions of speech against her, saying,
I found not thy daughter a maid; and
yet these are the tokens of my daughter's
virginity. And they shall spread the
18 cloth before the elders of the city. And
the elders of that city shall take that
19 man and chastise him; and they shall
amerce him in an hundred shekels of
silver, and give them unto the father
of the damsel, because he hath brought
up an evil name upon a virgin of Is-

this thing be true, and the tokens of
virginity be not found for the damsel:
then they shall bring out the damsel to 21
the door of her father's house, and the
men of her city shall stone her with
stones that she die: because she hath
''wrought folly in Israel, to play the
whore in her father's house: 'so shalt
thou put evil away from among you.
™If a man be found lying with a 22

for as when a man riseth against his
neighbour, and slayeth him, even so is
this matter : for he found her in the 27

and there was none to save her. ilf28
a man find a damsel that is a virgin,
which is not betrothed, and lay hold
on her, and lie with her, and they be

congregation of the Lord. ''An Am- 3
monite or Moabite shall not enter into
the congregation of the Lord; even to
their tenth generation shall they not
enter into the congregation of the Lord
for ever: "^because they met you not 4
with bread and with water in the way,
when ye came forth out of Egypt; and
because they ''hired against thee Ba-

unto Balaam; but the Lord thy God
turned "^the curse into a blessing unto

God will surely require it of thee; and it
would be sin in thee. But if thou shalt 22
forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee.
That which is gone out of thy lips thou 23
shalt keep and perform; a'en a freewill
offering, according as thou hast vowed
unto the Lord thy God, which thou hast

married her, and it come to pass that
she find no favour in his eyes, because
he hath found 'some uncleanness in her:
then let him write her a bill of
'divorcement, and give it in her hand,

out of his house; or if the latter husband
die, which took her to be his wife; ''her 4
former husband, which sent her away,

chandise of him, or selleth him; then
that thief shall die; ''and thou shalt put
evil away from among you. Take heed e

that the priests the Levites shall teach
you: as I commanded them, so ye shall
9 observe to do. Remember what the
Lord thy God did Junto Miriam by the
way, after that ye were come forth out
10 of Egypt. When thou dost 'lend thy
brother any thing, thou shalt not go into
11 his house to fetch his pledge. Thou
shalt stand abroad, and the man to whom
thou dost lend shall bring out the pledge
12 abroad unto thee. And if the man be
poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge:

pledge again when the sun goeth down,

i5 the Lord, and it be sin unto thee. iThe
fathers shall not be put to death for the
children, neither shall the children be
put to death for the fathers : every man
shall be put to death for his own sin.

in the straitness, wherewith thine ene-
mies shall distress thee in all thy gates.
The "tender and delicate woman among 56
you, which would not adventure to set
the sole of her foot upon the ground for
delicatenessand tenderness, 'her eye shall
be evil towards the husband of her bo-
som, and towards her son, and towards
her daughter, and towards her 'young 57
one that cometh out "from between her
feet, and towards her children which she
shall bear: for she shall eat them for
want of all things secretly ^in the siege
and straitness, wherewith thine enemy
shall distress thee in thy gates.
If thou wilt not observe to do all the 58
words of this law that are written in this
book, that thou mavest fear this glorious
and fearful name, VtHE LORD THY
GOD; then the Lord =^will make thy 59
plagues wonderful, and the plagues of
thy seed, even great plagues, and of long
continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of
long continuance. Moreover he will 60
bring upon thee all the ^ diseases of E-
gypt, which thou wast afraid of; and
they shall cleave unto thee. Also every 61
sickness, and every plague, which is not
written in the book of this law, them
will the Lord 'bring upon thee, until
thou be destroyed. And ye .shall be left 62
''few in number, whereas ye were '^as
the stars of heaven for multitude; be-
cause thou wouldest not obey the voice
of the Lord thy God. And it shall 63
come to pass, that as the Lord ''re-
joiced over you to do you good, and to
multiply you; so the Lord '=will rejoice
over you to destroy you, and to bring
you to nought; and ye shall be plucked
from off the land whither thou goest to
possess it. And the Lord f.shall scatter 64
thee among all people, from the one end
of the earth even unto the other; and
sthere thou shalt serve other gods, which
neither thou nor thy fathers have known,
C7'cn wood and stone. And •'among Cs
these nations shalt thou find no ease,
neither shall the sole of thy foot have
rest: 'but the Lord shall give thee there
a trembling heart, and •''failing of eyes,
and ''sorrow of mind: and thy life shall 66
hang in doubt before thee; and thou
shalt fear day and night, and shalt have
none assurance of thy life: 'in the morn- 67
ing thou shalt say. Would God it were
even ! and at even thou shalt say. Would
God it were morning! for the fear of

and ""for the sight of thine eyes which "■'■"■34.

standeth here with us thts day before the
Lord our God, 'and also with kim that
is not here with us this day : (for i-e 16
know how we have dwelt in the land of
Egypt; and how we came through the
nations which ye passed by; and ye 17
have seen their abominations, and their
'idols, wood and stone, silver and gold,
which 7oere among them:) lest there iS
should be among you man, or woman,
or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth
away this day from the Lord our God,
to go and serve the gods of these na-
tions; 'lest there should be among you
a, root that beareth 'gall and "worm-
wood; and it come to jjass, when he 19
heareth the words of this curse, that he
bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall
have peace, though I walk in the 'iivagi-
nation of mine heart, "to add 'drunken-
ness to thirst : the Lord will not spare 20
him, but then >"the anger of the Lord
and ^his jealou.sy shall smoke against
that man, and all the curses that are
written in this book shall lie upon him,
and the Lord ''shall blot out his name
from under heaven. And the Lord 21
shall separate him unto evil out of all
the tribes of Israel, according to all the '
curses of the covenant that 'are written
in this book of the law: so that the ge-22
neration to come of your children that
shall rise up after you, and the stranger
that shall come from a far land, ''shall
say, when they see the plagues of that
land, and the sicknesses 'which the
Lord hath laid upon it; and that the 2^
whole land thereof is brimstone, and
■^salt, and burning, t/iat it is not sown,
nor beareth, nor any grass groweth there-
in, ''like the overthrow of Sodom, and
Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which
the Lord overthrew in his anger, and in
his wrath: even all nations "=shall say, 24
"■Wherefore hath the Lord done thus
unto this land? what mea?ieth ethe heat
of this great anger? Then men shall say, 25
Because they have forsaken the cove-
nant of the Lord God of their fathers,
which he made with them when he
brought them forth out of the land of
Egypt: for they went and served other =6
gods, and worshipped them, gods whom
they knew not, and ^ivhom he had not
'given unto them: and the anger of the 27
Lord was kindled against this land, to
bring upon it all the curses that are writ-
ten in this book: and the Lord ''rooted 28
them out of their land in anger, and in
^vrath, and in great indignation, and cast
them into another land, as // is this day.
29 The secret things belong unto the Lord
our God: but those things which are
revealed belong unto us and to our chil-
dren for ever, that we may do all the
words of this law.
And ^it shall come to pass, when ''all
these things are come upon thee, the
blessing and the curse, which I have set
before thee, and nhou shalt call them to
mind among all the nations, whither the
2 Lord thy God hath driven thee, and
shalt "i return unto the Lord thy God,
and shalt obey his voice according to all
that I command thee this day, thou and
thy children, with all thine heart, and
3 with all thy soul; that then the Lord
thy God "= will turn thy captivity, and have
compassion upon thee, and will return
and fgather thee from all the nations,
whither the Lord thy God hath scatter-
4 ed thee, slf any of thine be driven out
unto the outmost parts of hea\en, from
thence will the Lord thy God gather
thee, and from thence will he fetch thee:
5 and the Lord thy God will bring thee
into the land which thy fathers possess-
ed, and thou shalt possess it; and he
will •'do thee good, and multiply thee
6 above thy fathers. And 'the Lord thy
God will circumcise thine heart, and the
heart of thy seed, to love the Lord thy
God with all thine heart, and with all
7 thy soul, that thou mayest live. And
the Lord thy God will put ail these
curses upon thine enemies, and on them
that hate thee, which persecuted thee.
sAnd thou shalt return and obey the
voice of the Lord, and do all his com-
mandments ■^^•hich I command thee this
9 day. 'And the Lord thy God will make
thee plenteous in every work of thine
hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in
the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of
thy land, for good: for the Lord will
again ''rejoice over thee for good, as he
10 rejoiced over thy fathers: if thou shalt
hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy
God, to keep his commandments and his
statutes which are written in this book
of the law, and if thou turn unto the
Lord thy God with all thine heart, and
I. with all thy soul. For this command-
ment which I command thee this day,
'it is not hidden from thee, neither is
12 it far off. '"It is not in heaven, that
thou shouldest say, Who shall go up
for us to heaven, and bring it unto us,

that we may hear it, and do it? Neither 13
is it beyond the sea, that t/wu shouldest
say, Who shall go over the sea for
us, and bring it unto us, that we may
hear it, and do it? But the word is 14
very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth,
and in thy heart, that i/idu mayest
do it.
See, "I have set before thee f/iis day 15
life and good, and death and evil; in 16
that I command thee i/iis day °to love
the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways,
and to keep his commandments and his
statutes and his judgments, that thou
mayest live and multiply: and the Lord
thy God shall bless thee in the land
whither thou goest to possess it. But 17
if P thine heart turn away, so that thou
wilt not hear, but ishalt be drawn away,
and worship other gods, and sei-ve them ;
'I denounce unto you //lis day, that ye 18
shall surely perish, a//d tliat ''ye shall
not prolong your days upon the land,
whither thou passest over Jordan to go
to possess it. *I call heaven and earth 19
to record this day against you, that 'I
have set before you life and death, "bless-
ing and cursing: therefore choose life,
that both thou and thy seed may live:
that thou mayest love the Lord thy 20
God, and that thou mayest obey his
voice, and "that thou mayest cleave unto
him: for he is thy >iife, and the length
of thy days : that thou mayest dwell in
the land ^ which the Lord sware unto
thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and
to Jacob, to give them.
And Moses went and spake these
words unto all Israel. And he said unto 2
them, I am ^an hundred and twenty
years old this day; I can no more ''go
out and come in : also the Lord hath
said unto me, "^Thou shalt not go over
this Jordan. The Lord thy God, ''he 3
will go over before thee, and he will de-
stroy these nations from before thee,
and thou shalt possess them : tf/z^ Joshua,
he shall go over before thee, «as the
Lord hath said. 'And the Lord shall 4
do unto them sas he did to Sihon and
to Og, kings of the Amorites, and unto
the land of them, whom he destroyed.
And the Lord shall give them up before 5
your face, that ye may do unto them
•^ according unto all the commandments
which I have commanded you. 'Be t
strong and of a good courage, ''fear not,
nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy
God, 'he // is that doth go with thee;
'"he will not fail thee, nor forsake
thee.
7 And Moses called unto Joshua, and
said unto him in the sight of all Israel,
"Be strong and of a good courage: for
thou must go with this people unto the
land which the Lord hath sworn unto
their fathers to give them; and thou
8 shalt cause them to inherit it. And the
Lord, °he it wthat doth go before thee;
he will be with thee, "'he will not fail
thee, neither forsake thee : fear not, nei-
ther Pbe dismayed.
9 And Moses wrote this law, land de-
livered it unto the priests the sons of
Levi, 'which bare the ark of the cove-
nant of the Lord, and unto all the
10 elders of Israel. And Moses command-
ed them, saying. At the end of every
seven years, in the solemnity of the
^year of release, 'in the feast of taber-
11 nacles, when all Israel is come to "ap-
pear before the Lord thy God in the
place which he shall choose, "thou shalt
read this law before all Israel in their
12 hearing, v Gather the people together,
men, and women, and children, and thy
stranger that is within thy gates, that
they may hear, and that they may learn,
and fear the Lord your God, and ob-
serve to do all the words of this law:
13 and tliat their children, ^which have not
known any thing, ^may hear, and learn
to fear the Lord your God, as long as
ye live in the land whither ye go over
Jordan to possess it.
14 And the Lord said unto Moses, ''Be-
hold, thy days approach that thou must
die: call Joshua, and present yourselves
in the tabernacle of the congregation,
that '=1 may give him a charge. And
Moses and Joshua went, and presented
themselves in the tabernacle of the con-
isgregation. And ''the Lord appeared
in the tabernacle in a pillar of a cloud :
and the pillar of the cloud stood over
16 the door of the tabernacle. And the
Lord said unto Moses, Behold, thou
shalt 'sleep with thy fathers; and this
people will "^rise up, and ""go a whoring
after the gods of the strangers of the
land, whither they go to i^^ amongst them,
and will Eforsake me, and ''break my
covenant which I have made with them.
17 Then my anger shall be kindled against
them in that day, and ' I will forsake
them, and I will ''hide my face from
them, and they shall be devoured, and
many evils and troubles shall 'befall

them ; so that they will say in that day,
Are not these evils come upon us,
because ' our God ts not amongst us ?
And '"I will surely hide my face in 18
that day for all the evils which they
shall have wrought, in that they are
turned unto other gods. Now there- 19
fore write ye this song for you, and
teach it the children of Israel : put it in
their mouths, that this song may be "a.
witness for me against the children of
Israel. Jnir when I shall have brought ;o
them into the land which I sware unto
their fathers, °that floweth with milk and
honey; and they shall have eaten and
filled themselves, and p waxen tat; ithen
will they turn unto other gods, and
serve them, and "^provoke me, and
''break my covenant. And it shall come 21
to pass, ^when many evils and troubles
are befallen them, that this song shall
testify 'against them as a witness; for it
shall not be forgotten out of the mouths
of their seed: for 'I know their "imagi-
nation which they *go about, even now,
before I have brought them into the
land which I sware. Moses therefore 22
wrote this song the same day, and
taught it the children of Israel. "And he 23
gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge,
and said, *Be strong and of a good
courage : for thou shalt bring the children
of Israel into the land which I sware
unto them: and >'I will be with thee.
And it came to pass, when Moses 24
had made an end of ^writing the words
of this law in a book, until they were
finished, that Moses commanded the 25
Levites, ^ which bare the ark of the cove-
nant of the Lord, saying. Take this 26
book of the law, ^and put it in the side
of the ark of the covenant of the Lord
your God, that it may be there ''for a
witness against thee. For I know thy ■^^
rebellion, and thy '^ stiff neck: behold,
while I am yet alive with you this day,
"'ye have been rebellious against the
Lord; and how much more after my
death? Gather unto me all the elders 28
of your tribes, and your <= officers, that
I may speak these words in their ears,
fand call heaven and earth to record
against them. For I know that after 29
my death ye will utterly scorrupt your-
selves, and turn aside from the way
which I have commanded you; and evil
will befall you ''in the latter days; be-
cause ye will do evil in the sight of the
Lord, 'to provoke him to anger through
30 the work of your hands. And Moses
spake in the ears of all the congregation
of Israel the words of this song, until
they were ended.
Give ear, ='0 ye heavens, and I will
speak ;
And hear, O earth, the words of my
mouth.
2 ''My doctrine '^ shall drop as the rain,
My speech shall distil as the dew.
As the small rain upon the tender
herb.
And ''as the showers upon the grass:
3 Because I will publish the name of
the Lord:
Ascribe ye ■= greatness unto our God.
4 He is f the Rock, his work is perfect:
For Sail his ways are judgment:
''A God of truth and 'without iniquity,
Just and right is he.
5 ' They have corrupted themselves, 'their
spot is not the spot of his children :
They are a ''perverse and ''crooked
generation.
6 Do ye thus 'requite the Lord,
O foolish people and unwise?
Is not he "'thy Father that hath
"bought thee?
Hath he not "made thee, and esta-
blished thee?
7 Remember the days of old.
Consider the years of * many genera-
tions:
P Ask thy father, and he will shew thee;
Thy elders, and they will tell tliee.
8 \Vhen the most High ^divided to the
nations their inheritance.
When he ''separated the sons of Adam,
He set the bounds of the people
According to the number of the chil-
dren of Israel.
9 For the Lord's portion is his people;
Jacob is the 'lot of his inheritance.
10 He found him ^in a desert land.
And in the 'waste howling "wilder-
ness ;
He ' led him about, he instructed
him,
He kept him as •'"the apple of his eye.
11 ^As an eagle stirreth up her nest,
^ Fluttereth over her young,
Spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh
them,
>'Beareth them on her wings:
12 So the Lord alone did lead him.
And there was no strange god with
him.
13 "He made him ride on the high places
of the earth.

Which did eat the fat of their sacri- 38

And Moses came and spake all the 44
words of this song in the ears of the
people, he and 'Hoshea the son of
Nun. And Moses made an end of45
speaking all these words to all Israel:
and he said unto them, ""Set your hearts 46
unto all the words which I testify among
you this day, which ye shall command
your children to observe to do, all the
words of this law. For it is not a vain 47
thing for you; "because it is your life:
and through this thing ye shall prolong
your days in the land, whither ye go
over Jordan to possess it.
And the Lord spake unto Moses that 43
selfsame day, saying. Get thee up into 49
"this mountain Abarim, unto mount Ne-
bo, which is in the land of Moab, that
w over against Jericho; and behold the
land of Canaan, which I give unto the
children of Israel for a possession : and 50
die in the mount whither thou goest up,
and Pbe gathered unto thy people; as
lAaron thy brother died in mount Hor,
51 and was gathered unto his people: 'be-
cause ye trespassed against me among
the children of Israel at the waters of
'Meribah-Kadesh, /// the wilderness of
Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the
52 midst of the children of Israel. *Yet
thou shalt see the land before thee; but
thou shalt not go thither unto the land
which I give the children of Israel.
And this is ^'the blessing, wherewith
Moses ''the man of God blessed the
2 children of Israel before his death. And
he said,
•^The Lord came from Sinai,
And rose up from Seir unto them;
He shined forth ^from mount Paran,
And =he came with ten thousands of
saints :
From his right hand went *a fierj- law
for them.
3 Yea, f he loved the people ;
All his saints are in thy hand :
And they ssat down at \\\y feet;

When the heads of the people
And the tribes of Israel were ga-
thered together.
6 ""Let Reuben live, and not die;
And let not his men be "few.
7 And this is °the blessing of Judah:
and he said,
Hear, Lord, the voice of Judah,
And bring him unto his people :
Let his hands be sufficient for him;
And be thou a help to him from his
enemies.
8 And of Levi he said,
^Let thy Thummim and thy Urim be
with ithy holy one,
■■Whom thou didst prove at Massah,
And with whom thou didst strive at
the waters of Meribah;
o Who said unto his father and to his

And he shall dwell between his shoul-

all the land of Gilead, "=unto Dan, and
all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim,
and Manasseh, and all the land of Ju-
dah, '^unto the utmost sea, and the
south, -and "=the plain of the valley of
Jericho, fthe city of palm trees, unto
sZoar. And the Lord said unto him,
••This is the land which I sware unto
Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob,
saying, I will give it unto thy seed: 'I
have caused thee to see /'/ with thine
eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither.
So Moses the servant of the Lord died
there in the land of Moab, according to
the word of the Lord. And he buried 1
him in a valley in the land of Moab,
over against ■'Beth-peor: but •'no man
knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day.
■And Moses was an hundred and twenty
years old when he died: "his eye was
not dim, nor his 'natural force 'abated.
8 And the children of Israel wept for
Moses in the plains of Moab "thirty
days : so the days of weeping a/id
9 mourning for Moses were ended. And
Joshua the son of Nun was full of the
"spirit of wisdom; for Moses Phad laid
his hands upon him : and the children of
Israel hearkened unto him, and did as
10 the Lord commanded Moses. And there
■iarose not a prophet since in Israel like
unto Moses, ■'whom the Lord knew face

ders, which the Lord sent him to do
in the land of Eg)'pt to Pharaoh, and to

NOW after the death of Moses the
sen'ant of the Lord it came to
pass, that the Lord spake unto Joshua
the soil of Nun, Moses' ^minister, say-
ing, ''Moses my servant is dead; now =
therefore arise, go over this Jordan,
thou, and all this people, unto the land
which I do give to them, even to the
children of Israel. '^ Every place that 3
the sole of your foot shall tread upon,
that have I given unto you, "^as I said
unto Moses. '*From the wilderness and 4
'this Lebanon even unto the great river,
the river Euphrates, all the land of the
Hittites, and unto the great sea tozvard
the going down of the .sun, shall be your
coast. fThere shall not any man be able 5
to stand before thee all the days of thy
life: sas I was with Moses, so^^l will be
with thee: 'I will not fail thee, nor
forsake thee. ''Be strong and of a 6
good courage: for "unto this people
shalt thou divide for an inheritance the
land, which I sware unto tlieir fathers to
give them. Only •'be thou strong and 7
very courageous, that thou mayest ob-
serve to do according to all the law,
'which Moses my ser\'ant commanded
thee: "turn not from \ito the right hand
or to the left, that thou mayest "prosper
whithersoever thou goest. This book of s
the law shall not depart out of thy
mouth; but "tliou shalt meditate therein
day and night, that thou mayest observe
to do according to all that is written
therein: for then thou shalt make thy
way prosperous, and then thou shalt
"have good success. Have not I com- 9
manded thee? "Be strong and of a good
courage; Pbe not afraid, neither ibe thou
dismayed : for the Lord thy God is with
thee ''whithersoever thou goest.
Then Joshua commanded ^the officers 10
of the people, saying. Pass through the n
host, and command the people, saying.
Prepare you victuals; for 'within three
days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to
go in to possess the land, which the
Lord your God giveth you to possess it.
12 And to the Reubenites, and to the Gad-
ites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh,
13 spake Joshua, saying. Remember the
word which "Moses the servant of the
Lord commanded you, saying, The
Lord your God hath given you rest, and
14 hath given you this land. Your wives,
your little ones, and your cattle, shall
remain in the land which Moses gave
you on this side Jordan ; but ye shall
pass before your brethren 'armed, all
the mighty men of valour, and help
15 them; "until the Lord have given your
brethren rest, as he hath given you, and
they also have possessed the land which
the Lord your God giveth them: "then
ye shall return unto the land of your
possession, and enjoy it, which Moses
the Lord's servant gave you on this
16 side Jordan toward the sunrising. And
they answered Joshua, saying. All that
thou commandest us we will do, and
whithersoever thou sendest us, we will
17 go. According as we hearkened unto
Moses in all things, so will we hearken
unto thee: only the Lord thy God >'be
is with thee, as he was with Moses. Who-
soever he be that doth ^ rebel against thy
commandment, and will not hearken
unto thy words in all that thou com-
mandest him, he shall be put to death :
only =be strong and of a good courage.
And Joshua the son of Nun "sent^out
of Shittim two men to spy secretly, say-
ing. Go view the land, even Jericho.
And they went, and came itito a ''har-
lot's house, named "^Rahab, and 'lodged
2 there. And it was told the king of Je-
richo, saying. Behold, there came men
in hither to night of the children of Is-
3 rael to search out the country. And the
king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying,

thee, which are entered into thine house :
for they be come to search out all the
country. ''And the woman took the two 4
men, and hid them, and said thus. There
came men unto me, but I wist not
whence they were: and it came to pass 5
about the time of shutting of the gate,
when it was dark, that the men went
out: whither the men went I wot not:
pursue after them quickly; for ye shall
overtake them. But she had brought 6
them up to the roof of the house, and
hid them with the stalks of flax, which
she had laid in order upon the roof
And the men pursued after them the ^
way to Jordan unto the fords: and as
soon as they which pursued after them
were gone out, they shut the gate. And 8
before they were laid down, she came
up unto them upon the roof; and she 9
said unto the men, I know that the
Lord hath given you the land, and that
"^your terror is fallen upon us, and that
all the inhabitants of the land *faint be-
cause of you. For we have heard how 10
the Lord fdried up the water of the
Red sea for you, when you came out of
Egypt ; and Swhat you did unto the two
kings of the Amorites, that 7aere on the
other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom
''ye utterly destroyed. And 'as soon as n
we had heard these things, ''our hearts
did melt, neither 'did there remain any
more 'courage in any man, because of
you: for ""the Lord your God, he is
God in heaven above, and in earth be-
neath. Now therefore, I pray you, 12
"swear unto me by the Lord, since I
have shewed you kindness, that ye will
also shew kindness unto my father's
house, and "give me a true token: and 13
that ye will save alive my father, and
my mother, and my brethren, and my
sisters, and all that they have, and de-
liver our lives from death. And the 14
men answered her. Our life 'for yours, if
ye utter not this our business. And it
shall be, when the Lord hath given us
the land, that Pwe vk^ill deal kindly and
truly with thee. Then she ^let them 15
down by a cord through the window:
for her house 7vas upon the town wall,
and she dwelt upon the wall. And she 16
said unto them. Get you to the moun-
tain, lest the pursuers meet you; and
hide yourselves there three days, until
the pursuers be returned : and afterward
may ye go your way. And the men 17
said unto her. We will be 'blameless of
this thine oath which thou hast made us
3 swear. '^ Behold, 2i.ihcn we come into the
land, thou shalt bind this line of 'scarlet
thread in the window which thou didst
let us down by: "and thou shalt 'bring
thy father, and thy mother, and thy bre-
thren, and all thy father's household,
J home unto thee. And it shall be, that
whosoever shall go out of the doors of
thy house into the street, his blood shall
be upon his head, and we 7Lnll be guilt-
less : and whosoever shall be with thee
in the house, ''his blood shall be on our
uhead, if any hand be upon him. And
if thou utter J'this our business, then we
will be quit of thine oath which thou
1 hast made us to swear. And she said,
According unto your words, so be it.
And she sent them away, and they de-
parted: and she bound the scarlet line
2 in the window. And they went, and
came unto the mountain, and abode
there three days, until the pursuers were
returned : and the pursuers sought fhetn
througliout all the way, but found them
3 not. So the two men returned, and de-
scended from the mountain, and ^passed
over, and came to Joshua the son of
Nun, and told him all things that * befell
(them: and they said unto Joshua, Truly
''the Lord hath delivered into our hands
all the land; for even all the inhabitants
of the country do 'faint because of us.
And Joshua rose early in the morn-
ing; and they removed *from Shittim,
and came to Jordan, he and all the
children of Israel, and lodged there
2 before they passed over. And it came
to pass ''after three days, that "^the ofifi-
3cers went through the host; and they
commanded the people, saying, When
ye see the ark of the covenant of the
Lord your God, and ''the priests the
Levites bearing it, then ye shall remove
(from your place, and go after it. 'Yet
there shall be a space between you and
it, about two thousand cubits by mea-
sure: come not near unto it, that ye
may know the way by which ye must
go: for ye have not passed this way
;' heretofore. And Joshua .said unto the
people, ''Sanctify yourseUes : for to mor-
row the Lord will do wonders among
5 you. And Joshua spake unto the
priests, saying, sTake up the ark of the
covenant, and pass over before the
people. And they took up the ark of the
covenant, and went before the people.

day will I begin to ''magnify thee in the
sight of all Israel, that they may know
that, 'as I was with Moses, so I will be
with thee. And thou shalt command s
Jthe priests that bear the ark of the co-
venant, saying, When ye are come to
the brink of the water of Jordan, ''ye
shall stand still in Jordan. And Joshua 9
said unto the children of Israel, Come
hither, and hear the words of the Lord
your God. And Joshua said. Hereby 10
ye shall know that 'the living God is
among you, and //lat he will without fail
"'drive out from before you "the Canaan-
ites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites,
and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites,
and the Amorites, and the Jebusites.
Behold, the ark of the covenant, ezvn "the n
Lord of all the earth passeth over before
you into Jordan. Now therefore Ptake 12
ye twelve men out of the tribes of Is-
rael, lout of every tribe a man. And 13
it shall come to pass, ■'as soon as the
soles of the feet of the priests that bear
the ark of the Lord, °the Lord of all the
earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan,
t/iai the waters of Jordan shall be cut off
//vm the waters that come down from
above; and they '^shall stand iz/ivi a
heap.
And it came to pass, when the people 14
removed from their tents, to pass over
Jordan, and the priests bearing the 'ark
0/ the covenant before the people; and 15
as they that bare the ark were come unto
Jordan, and "the feet of the priests that
bare the ark were dipped in the brim of
the water, (for ^Jordan overfloweth all
his banks vall the time of harvest,) that 16
the waters which came down from above
stood and rose up u/iofi a heap very far,
from the city Adam, that /s beside
^Zaretan: and those that came down
•''toward the sea of the plain, a'at ''the
salt sea, failed, tT;id were cut off : and
the people passed over right against
Jericho. And the priests that bare the 17
ark 0/ the covenant of the Lord stood
firm on dry ground in the midst of Jor-
dan, '^and all the Israelites passed over
on Ary ground, until all the people were
passed clean over Jordan.
And it came to pass, when all the
people were clean passed ^over Jordan,
that the Lord spake unto Joshua, say-
ing, •' Take you twelve men out of the 2
people, out of every tribe a man, and 3
command you them, saying, Take you
hence out of the midst of Jordan, out of
the place where "^the priests' feet stood
firm, ''twelve stones, and ye shall carry
them over with you, and leave them in
"the lodging place, where you shall lodge
4 this night. Then Joshua called the
twelve men, whom he had prepared of
the children of Israel, out of every tribe
5a man: and Joshua said unto them,
Pass over before the ark of the Lord
your God into the midst of Jordan, and
take ye up every man of you a stone
upon his shoulder, according unto the
number of the tribes of the children of
0 Israel : that this may be a sign among
you, that fwhen your children ask their
fathers 'in time to come, saying. What
7 mean you by these stones.'' then ye
shall answer them. That ?the waters of
Jordan were cut ofi" before the ark of
the covenant of the Lord; when it
passed over Jordan, the waters of Jor-
dan were cut off: and these stones shall
be for ''a memorial unto the children
8 of Israel for ever. And the children of
Israel did so as Joshua commanded, and
took up twelve stones out of the midst
of Jordan, asthe Lord spake unto Joshua,
according to the number of the tribes of
the children of Israel, and carried them
over with them unto the place where
they lodged, and laid them down there.
9 And Joshua set up twelve stones in the
midst of Jordan, 'in the place where
the feet of the priests which bare the ark
of the covenant stood : and they are
10 there unto this day. For the priests
which bare the ark stood in the midst
of Jordan, until every thing was finished
that the Lord commanded Joshua to
speak unto the people, according to all
that Moses commanded Joshua: and the
I! people hasted and passed over. And it
came to pass, when all the people were
clean passed over, that the ark of the
Lord passed over, and the priests, in
12 the presence of the people. And the
children of Reuben, and the children of
Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh,
passed over ''armed before the children
of Israel, 'as Moses spake unto them:
13 about forty thousand ' prepared for war
passed over before the Lord unto batde,
14 to the plains of Jericho. On that day
the Lord '"magnified Joshua in the sight
of all Israel ; and they feared him, as
they feared Moses, all the days of his
hfe.
15 And the Lord spake unto Joshua,

"the ark of the Testimony, that they
come up out of Jordan. Joshua there- 17
fore commanded the priests, saying,
Come ye up out of Jordan. And it 18
came to pass, when the priests that bare
the ark. of the covenant of the Lord
were come up out of the midst of Jor-
dan, and the soles of the priests' feet
were *hft up unto the dry land, that the
waters of Jordan returned unto their
place, and 'flowed over all liis banks, °as
they did before. And the people came 19
up out of Jordan on the tenth day of
the first month, and encamped Pin Gil-
gal, in the east border of Jericho. And 20
■! those twelve stones, which they took
out of Jordan, did Joshua pitch in Gil-
gal. And he spake unto the children 21
of Israel, saying, i^When your children
shall ask their fathers 'in time to come,
saying, What mean these stones? then ==
ye shall let your children know, saying,
^Israel came over this Jordan on dry
land. For the Lord your God dried 23
up the waters of Jordan from before you,
until ye were passed over, as the Lord
your God did to the Red sea, 'which he
dried up from before us, until we were
gone over: "that all the people of the 24
earth might know the hand of the Lord,
that it is '^mighty: that ye might >'fear
the Lord your God 'for ever.
hvA it came to pass, when all the
kings of the Amorites, which were on the
side of Jordan westward, and all the
kings of the Canaanites, »which were by
the sea, •'heard that the Lord had dried
up the waters of Jordan from before
the children of Israel, until we were
passed over, that their heart "^melted,
''neither was there spirit in- them any
more, because of the children of Israel.
At that time the Lord said unto 2
Joshua, Make thee 'sharp knives, and
circumcise again the children of Israel
the second time. And Joshua made him 3
'sharp knives, and circumcised the chil-
dren of Israel at 'the hill of the foreskins.
And this is the cause why Joshua did 4
circumcise: "^All the people that came
out of Egypt, that were males, rren all
the men of war, died in the wilderness
by the way, after they came out of Egypt.
Now all the people that came out were 5
circumcised : but all the people thai were
bom in the wilderness by the way as
they came forth out of Egypt, them they
had not circumcised. For the children b
of Israel walked fforty years in the wil-
derness, till all the people that 'were men
of war, which came out of Egypt, were
consumed, because they obeyed not the
voice of the Lord : unto whom the
Lord ssware that he would not shew
them the land, which the Lord sware
unto their fathers that he would give us,
''a land that floweth with milk and honey.
7 And 'their children, ivlwin he raised up
in their stead, them Joshua circumcised :
for they were uncircumcised, because
they had not circumcised them by the
8 way. And it came to pass, ' when they
had done circumcising all the people,
that they abode in their places in the
9 camp, ''till they were whole. And the
Lord said unto Joshua, This day have
I rolled away 'the reproach of Egypt
from off you. W'herefore the name of
the place is called '"'Gilgal unto this
day.
10 And the children of Israel encamped
in Gilgal, and kept the passover "on the
fourteenth day of the month at even in
11 the plains of Jericho. And they did eat
of the old corn of the land on the mor-
row after the passover, unleavened cakes,
and "parched com in the selfsame day.
12 And Pthe manna ceased on the morrow
after they had eaten of the old corn of
the land; neither had the children of
Israel manna any more; but they did
eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan
that year.
13 And it came to pass, when Joshua
was by Jericho, that he lift up his eyes
and looked, and behold, there stood "ia
man over against him ''with his sword
drawn in his hand: and Joshua went
unto him, and said unto him. Art thou
14 for us, or for our adversaries? And he
said, Nay; but as 'captain of the host of
the Lord am I now come. And Joshua
'fell on his face to the earth, and did
worship, and said unto him. What saith
15 my lord unto his servant? And the cap-
tain of the Lord's host said unto Joshua,
'Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for
the place whereon thou standest is holy.
And Joshua did so. Now Jericho 'was
straitly shut up because of the children
of Israel: none went out, and none came
2 in. And the Lord said unto Joshua, See,
^I have given into thine hand Jericho,
and the king thereof, and ''the mighty
3 wr// of valour. And ye shall compass the
city, all ye men of war, and go round
about the city once. Thus shalt thou do
4 six days. And seven priests shall bear

before the ark seven "^trumpets ''of rams'
horns: and the seventh day ye shall
compass the city seven times, and "^the
priests shall blow with the trumpets.
And it shall come to pass, that when 5
they fmake a long blast with the ram's
horn, and when ye hear the sound of
the trumpet, all the people shall shout
unth a great shout ; and the wall of the
city shall fall down 'flat, and the people
shall ascend up every man straight be-
fore him.
And Joshua the son of Nun called 6
the priests, and said unto them. Take
up the ark of the covenant, and let seven
priests bear seven trumpets of rams'
horns before the ark of the Lord. And 7
he said unto the people, Pass on, and
compass the city, and let him that is
armed pass on before the ark of the
Lord. And it came to pass, when 8
Joshua had spoken unto the people, that
the seven priests bearing the seven trum-
pets of rams' horns passed on before the
Lord, and blew with the trumpets: and
the ark of the covenant of the Lord fol-
lowed them. And the armed men went 9
before the priests that blew with the
trumpets, and the 'rereward came after
the ark, the priests going on, and blow-
ing with the tnmipets. And Joshua had 10
commanded the people, saying. Ye shall
not shout, nor *make any noise with
your voice, neither shall a7iy word pro-
ceed out of your mouth, until the day I
bid you shout; then shall ye shout. So n
the ark of the Lord compassed the city,
going about it once : and they came into
the camp, and lodged in the camp. And 12
Joshua rose early in the morning, and
sthe priests took up the ark of the Lord.
And seven priests bearing seven trum- 13
pets of rams' horns before the ark of the
Lord went on continually, and blew with
the trumpets: and the armed men went
before them; but the rereward came
after the ark of the Lord, the priests
going on, and blowing with the trumpets.
And the second day they compassed the 14
city once, and returned into the camp :
so they did six days. And it came to 15
pass on the seventh day, that they rose
early about the dawning of the day, and
compassed the city after the same man-
ner seven times: only on that day they
compassed the city seven times. And 16
it came to pass at the seventh time,
when the priests blew with the trumpets,
Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for
17 the Lord hath given you the city. And
the city shall be "accursed, evcji it, and
all that arc therein, to the Lord: only
Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all
that arc with her in the house, because
•"she hid the messengers that we sent.
18 And you, ''in any wise keep yourschrs
from the "accursed thing, lest ye make
yourselves accursed, when ye take of the
"accursed thing, and make the camp of
19 Israel "a curse, and 'trouble it. But all
the silver, and gold, and vessels of
brass and iron, (7;r 'consecrated unto the
Lord: they shall come into the treasury
20 of the Lord. So the people shouted
when the priests blew with the trumpets :
and it came to pass, when the people
heard the soimd of the trumpet, and the
people shouted with a great shout, that
''the wall fell down 'flat, so that the
people went up into the city, every man
straight before him, and they took the
21 city. And they 'utterly destroyed all
that was in the city, both man and
woman, young and old, and ox, and
sheep, and ass, with the edge of the
22 sword. But Joshua had said unto the
two men that had spied out the country,
Go /;//(' the harlot's house, and bring out
thence the woman, and all that she hath,
23 ""as ye sware unto her. And the young
men that were spies went in, and brought
out Rahab, "and her father, and her
mother, and her brethren, and all that
she had ; and they brought out all her
♦kindred, and left them without the camp
24 of Israel. And they burnt the city with
fire, and all that was therein: "only the
silver, and the gold, and the vessels of
brass and of iron, they put into the trea-
25 sury of the house of the Lord. And
Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive,
and her father's household, and all that
she had ; and Pshe dwelleth in Israel n>cn
unto this day; because she hid the mes-
sengers, which Joshua sent to spy out
26 Jericho. And Joshua ^adjured them at
that time, saying, ■■ Cursed he the man
before the Lord, that riseth up and build-
eth this city Jericho: he shall lay the
foundation thereof in his firstborn, and
in his youngest son shall he set up the
27 gates of it. ^So the Lord was with
Joshua ; and ' his fame was /w/jtr/ through-
out all the country.
But the children of Israel committed
a trespass in the accursed thing : for
''"Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of
"Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of

Judah, took of the accursed thing: and
the anger of the Lord was kindled
against the children of Israel. And 2
Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai,
which is beside ''Beth-aven, on the east
side of "^Beth-el, and spake unto them,
saying, Go up and view the country.
And the men went up and viewed Ai.
And they returned to Joshua, and said 3
unto him, Let not all the people go up ;
but let * about two or three thousand
men go up and smite Ai; and make not
all the people to labour thither; for they
arc but few. So there went up thither 4
of the people about three thousand
men: and ''they fled before the men
of Ai. And the men of Ai smote of s
them about thirty and six men : for they
chased them from before the gate even
unto Shebarim, and smote them 'in the
going down: wherefore "^the hearts of
the people melted, and became as
water.
And Joshua frent his clothes, and fell 6
to the earth upon his face before the
ark of the Ldkd until the eventide, he
and the elders of Israel, and sput dust
upon their heads. And Joshua said, ^
Alas, O Lord God, •'wherefore hast thou
at all brought this people over Jordan,
to deliver us into the hand of the Amor-
ites, to destroy us? would to God we
had been content, and dwelt on the
other side Jordan! O Lord, what shall 3
I say, when Israel turneth their 'backs
before their enemies ! For the Canaan- 9
ites and all the inhabitants of the land
shall hear of it, and shall environ us
round, and 'cut off our name from the
earth: and Jwhat wilt thou do unto thy
great name? And the Lord said unto 10
Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore *liest
thou thus upon thy face? Israel hatli n
sinned, and they have also ''transgressed
my covenant which I commanded them :
for they have even taken of 'the ac-
cursed thing, and have also stolen, and
dissembled also, and they have put it
even amongst their own stuff. ""There-ii
fore the children of Israel could not
stand before their enemies, but turned
their "backs before their enemies, be-
cause they were "accursed: neither will
I be with you any more, e.xcept ye de-
stroy "the accursed from amongst you.
Up, sanctify the people, and say, PSanc-13
tify yourselves against to morrow: for
thus saith the Lord God of Israel,
There is °an accursed thing in the midst
of thee, O Israel : thou canst not stand
before thine enemies, until ye take away
°the accursed thing from among you.
4 In the morning therefore ye shall be
brought according to your tribes : and it
shall be, that the tribe which ithe Lord
taketh shall come according to the
families thereof; and the family which
the Lord shall take shall come by
households; and the household which
the Lord shall take shall come man by
5 man. 'And it shall be, that he that is
taken with the accursed thing shall be
burnt with fire, he and all that he hath:
because he hath ^transgressed the cove-
nant of the Lord, and because he hath
wrought 'folly in Israel.
5 So Joshua rose up early in the morn-
ing, and brought Israel by their tribes;
7 and the tribe of Judah was taken: and
he brought the family of Judah; and he
took the family of 'the Zarhites: and he
brought the family of the Zarhites man
8 by man ; and Zabdi was taken : and he
brought his household man by man; and
"Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of
Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of
5 Judah, "was taken. And Joshua said
unto Achan, My son, "give, I pray thee,
glory to the Lord God of Israel, and
^make confession unto him; and ytell
me now what thou hast done; hide //
3 not from me. And Achan answered
Joshua, and said. Indeed I have sinned
against the Lord God of Israel, and
I thus and thus have I done : when I saw
among the spoils a goodly ^Babylonish
garment, and two hundred shekels of
silver, and a 'wedge of gold of fifty
shekels weight, then I coveted them,
and took them; and behold, they are
hid in the earth in the midst of my
i tent, and the silver under it. So Jo-
shua sent messengers, and they ran
unto the tent; and behold, it was hid
in his tent, and the silver under it.
3 And they took them out of the midst
of the tent, and brought them unto
Joshua, and unto all the children of
Israel, and 'laid them out before the
4 Lord. And Joshua, and all Israel with
him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and
the silver, and the garment, and the
wedge of gold, and his sons, and his
daughters, and his oxen, and his asses,
and his sheep, and his tent, and all that
he had: and they brought them unto
s^the valley of Achor. And Joshua said,
''Why hast thou troubled us? the Lord

shall trouble thee this day. And all
Israel stoned him 'ivith stones, and
burned them with fire, after they had
"^stoned them with stones. And they 26
"^raised over him a great heap of stones
unto this day. So '^the Lord turned
from the fierceness of his anger. Where-
fore the name of that place was called,
f The valley of "Achor, unto this day.
And the Lord said unto Joshua,
='Fear not, neither be thou dismayed:
take all the people of war with thee,
and arise, go up to Ai: see, ''I have
given into thy hand the king of Ai,
and his people, and his city, and his
land: and thou shalt do to Ai and her 2
king as thou didst unto '^Jericho and
her king: only ''the spoil thereof, and
the cattle thereof, shall ye take for a
prey unto yourselves: lay thee an am-
bush for the city behind it. So Joshua 3
arose, and all the people of war, to go
up against Ai: and Joshua chose out
thirty thousand mighty men of valour,
and sent them away by night. And he 4
commanded them, saying. Behold, '=ye
shall lie in wait against the city, even
behind the city: go not very for from
the city, but be ye all ready: and I, 5
and all the people that are with me,
will approach unto the city: and it shall
come to pass, when they come out
against us, as at the first, that ^we will
flee before them, (for they will come 6
out after us) till we have Mrawn them
from the city; for they will say. They
flee before us, as at the first: therefore
we will flee before them. Then ye shall 7
rise up from the ambush, and seize up-
on the city: for the Lord your God
will deliver it into your hand. And it a
shall be, when ye have taken the city,
that ye shall set the city on fire: ac-
cording to the commandment of the
Lord shall ye do. sSee, I have com-
manded you. Joshua therefore sent 9
them forth: and they went to lie in
ambush, and abode between Beth-el
and Ai, *'on the west side of Ai: but
Joshua lodged that night among the
people. And Joshua rose up early in 10
the morning, and numbered the people,
and went \x\y, he and the elders of Is-
rael, before the people to Ai. And all 1 1
the people, n<en the people of war that
were with him, went u]3, and drew nigh,
and came before the city, and pitched
on the north side of Ai : now tliere was
a valley between them and Ai. And 12
he took about five thousand men, and
set them to lie in ambush between
Beth-el and Ai, on the west side "of the
13 city. And when they had set the peo-
ple, even all the host that was on the
north of the city, and 'their liers in
wait on the west of the city, Joshua
went that night into the midst of the
14 valley. And it came to pass, when the
king of Ai saw it, that they hasted and
rose up early, and the men of the city
went out against Israel to battle, he
and all his people, at a time appointed,
before the plain; but he 'wist not that
there 7i<ere liers in ambush against him
15 behind the city. And Joshua and all
Israel 'made as if they were beaten be-
fore them, and fled by the way of the
16 wilderness. And all the people that
were in Ai were called together to pur-
sue after them : and they pursued after
Joshua, and "^were drawn away from the
17 city. And there was not a man left in
Ai or Beth-el, that went not out after
Israel : and they left the city open, and
18 pursued after Israel. And the Lord
said unto Joshua, Stretch out the spear
that is in thy hand toward Ai ; for I will
give it into thine hand. And Joshua
stretched out the spear that he had in
19 his hand toward the city. And the am-
bush arose quickly out of their place,
and they ran as soon as he had stretched
out his hand : and they entered into the
city, and took it, and hasted and set the
20 city on fire. And when the men of Ai
looked behind them, they saw, and be-
hold, the smoke of the city ascended up
to heaven, and they had no 'power to
flee this way or that way : and the people
that fled to 'the wilderness turned back
::i upon the pursuers. And when Joshua
and all Israel saw that the ambush had
taken the city, and that the smoke of the
city ascended, then they turned again,
22 and slew the men of Ai. And the other
issued out of the city against them ; so
they were in the midst of Israel, some
on this side, and some on that side : and
they smote them, so that they ™let none
23 of them remain or escape. And the king
of Ai they took alive, and brought him
24 to Joshua. And it came to pass, when
Israel had made an end of slaying all the
inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wil-
derness wherein they chased them, and
when they were all fallen on the edge of
the sword, until they were consumed,
that all the Israelites returned unto Ai,

and smote it with the edge of the sword.
And so it was, that all that fell that day, 25
both of men and women, were twelve
thousand, even all the men of Ai. For 26
Joshua drew not his hand back, where-
with he stretched out the spear, until he
had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants
of Ai. Only the cattle and the spoil 27
of that city Israel took for a prey unto
themselves, according unto the word of
the Lord which he "commanded Joshua.
And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it "a^s
heap for ever, even a desolation unto this
day. PAnd the king of Ai he hanged on ^
a, tree until eventide: land as soon as
the sun was down, Joshua commanded
that they should take his carcase down
from the tree, and cast it at the entering
of the gate of the city, and ■■ raise there-
on a great heap of stones, that rcmaineth
unto this day.
Then Joshua built an altar unto the 30
Lord God of Israel '^in mount Ebal, as 31
Moses the servant of the Lord com-
manded the children of Israel, as it is
written in the 'book of the law of Moses,
an altar of whole stones, over which no
man hath lift up any iron : and "they
offered thereon burnt offerings unto the
Lord, and sacrificed peace offerings.
And "he wrote there upon the stones a 32
copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote
in the presence of the children of Israel.
And all Israel, and their elders, and 33
"officers, and tlieir judges, stood on this
side the ark and on that side before the
priests the Levites, vwhich bare the ark
of the covenant of the Lord, as well
^the stranger, as he that was bom among
them; half of them over against mount
Gerizim, and half of them over against
mount Ebal; *as Moses the servant of
the Lord had commanded before, that
they should bless the people of Israel.
And afterward ''he read all the words of 34
the law, '^the blessings and ''cursings,
according to all that is wTitten in the
book of the law. There was not a word 35
of all that Moses commanded, which
Joshua read not before all the congrega-
tion of Israel, "^with the women, and the
little ones, and fthe strangers that *were
conversant among them.
And it came to pass, when all the
kings which were on this side Jordan,
"in the hills, and in the valleys, and in
all the coasts of ''the great sea over
against Lebanon, "^the Hittite, and the
Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite,
the Hivite, and the Jebusite, heard there-
2 of; that they gathered themselves to-
gether, to fight with Joshua and with
3 Israel, 7aith one 'accord. And when the
inhabitants of ''Gibeon = heard what Jo-
shua had done unto Jericho and to Ai,
4 they did work wilily, and went and made
as if they had been ambassadors, and
took old sacks upon their asses, and
wine bottles, old, and rent, and bound
sup; and old shoes and f clouted upon
their feet, and old garments upon them;
and all the bread of their provision was
6 dry and f mouldy. And they went to
Joshua «unto the camp at Gilgal, and
said unto him, and to the men of Israel,
We be come from a far country: now
7 therefore make ye a league with us. And
the men of Israel said unto the '•Hivites,
Peradventure ye dwell among us; and
'how shall we make a league with you?
s And they said unto Joshua, HVe aiv thy
servants. And Joshua said unto them,
Who are ye? and from whence come ye?
9 And they said unto him, ''From a very
far country thy servants are come be-
cause of the name of the Lord thy God:
for we have 'heard the fame of him, and
10 all that he did in Egypt, and all that
he did to the two kings of the Amorites,
that 'ivere beyond Jordan, to Sihon king
of Heshbon, and to Og king of Bashan,
11 which was at ""Ashtaroth. Wherefore
our elders and all the inhabitants of our
country spake to us, saying. Take vic-
tuals 'with you for the journey, and go
to meet them, and say unto them. We
are your servants: therefore now make
12 ye a league with us. This our bread we
took hot for our provision out of our
houses on the day we came forth to go
unto you; but now, behold, it is dry, and
13 it is mouldy: and these bottles of wine,
which we filled, 7aere new; and behold,
they be rent : and these our garments and
our shoes are become old by reason of the
14 very long journey. .4nd 'the men took
of their victuals, and "asked not counsel
15 at the mouth of the Lord. And Joshua
"made peace with them, and made a
league with them, to let them live : and
the princes of the congregation sware
unto them.
16 And it came to pass at the end of
three days after they had made a league
with them, that they heard that they
were their neighbours, and that they
17 dwelt among them. And the children
of Israel journeyed, and came unto their

cities on the third day. Now their cities
were PGibeon, and Chephirah, and Beer-
oth, and iKirjath-jearim. And the chil-is
dren of Israel smote them not, because
the princes of the congregation had sworn
unto them by the Lord God of Israel.
And all the congregation murmured
against the princes. But all the princes 19
said unto all the congregation, We have
sworn unto them by the Lord God of
Israel : now therefore we may not touch
them. This we will do to them ; we 20
will even let them live, lest 'wrath be
upon us, ^because of the oath which we
sware unto them. And the princes said 21
unto them, Let them live ; but let them be
'hewers of wood and drawers of water
unto all the congregation ; as the princes
had "promised them. And Joshua called 22
for them, and he spake unto them, say-
ing. Wherefore have ye beguiled us, say-
ing, "We are very far from you; when
^ye dwell among us? Now therefore ye 23
are >'cursed, and there shall 'none of you
be freed from being ybondmen, and
^hewers of wood and drawers of water
for the house of my God. And they an- 24
swered Joshua, and said. Because it was
certainly told thy servants, how that the
Lord thy God ^commanded his servant
Moses to give you all the land, and to
destroy all the inhabitants of the land
from before you, therefore ''we were sore
afraid of our lives because of you, and
have done this thing. And now, behold, 25
we are '=in thine hand: as it seemeth
good and right unto thee to do unto
us, do. And so did he unto them, 26
and delivered them out of the hand of
the children of Israel, that they slew
them not. And Joshua 'made them that 27
day ''hewers of wood and drawers of
water for the congregation, and for the
altar of the Lord, even unto this day, "^in
the place which he should choose.
Now it came to pass, when Adoni-ze-
dek king of Jerusalem had heard how
Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly
destroyed it; *as he had done to Jericho
and her king, so he had done to ''Ai
and her king; and "^how the inhabitants
of Gibeon had made peace with Israel,
and were among them; that they '* feared 2
greatly, because Gibeon 7uas a great
city, as one of the 'royal cities, and be-
cause it 7i.ias greater than Ai, and all the
men thereof 7cierc mighty. Wherefore 3
Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem sent unto
Hoham king of ^ Hebron, and unto Pi-
ram king of fjarmuth, and unto Japhia
king of sLachish, and unto Debir king
4 of sEglon, saying. Come up unto me,
and help me, that we may smite Gibeon :
for it hath made peace with Joshua and
5 with the children of Israel. Therefore
the five kings of the Amorites, the king
of Jerusalem, the king of ''Hebron, the
king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish,
the king of Eglon, gathered themselves
together, and went up, they and all their
hosts, and encamped before Gibeon, and
6 made war against it. And the men of
Gibeon sent unto Joshua Ho the camp
to Gilgal, saying. Slack not thy hand
from thy servants; come up to us quick-
ly, and save us, and help us : for all the
kings of the Amorites that dwell in the
mountains are gathered together against
7 us. So Joshua ascended from Gilgal,
he, and 'all the people of war with him,
sand all the mighty men of valour. And
the Lord said unto Joshua, '^Fear them
not: for I have delivered them into
thine hand; there shall not a man of
9 them stand before thee. Joshua there-
fore came unto them suddenly, and went
10 up from Gilgal all night. And the
Lord 'discomfited them before Israel,
and slew them lidth a great slaughter at
Gibeon, and chased them along the way
that goeth up to "Beth-horon, and smote
them to "Azekah, and unto "Makkedah.
11 And it came to pass, as they fled from
before Israel, and were in the going
down to '"Beth-horon, Pthat the Lord
cast down great stones from heaven
upon them unto Azekah, and they died :
they were moe which died with hail-
stones than they whom the children of
Israel slew with the sword.
12 Then spake Joshua to the Lord in
the day when the Lord delivered up the
Amorites before the children of Israel,
and he said in the sight of Israel,
iSun, 'stand thou still upon Gibeon;
And thou, Moon, in the valley of
""Ajalon.
13 And the sun stood still, and the moon
stayed,
Until the people had avenged them-
selves upon their enemies.
Is not this written in the book of
'Jasher.^'
So the sun stood still in the midst of
heaven.
And ^hasted not to go down about a
whole day.

it or after it, that the Lord hearkened
unto the voice of a man: for "the Lord
fought for Israel.
And Joshua 'returned, and all Israelis
with him, unto the camp to Gilgal. But is
these five kings fled, and hid themselves
in a cave at "Makkedah. And it was 17
told Joshua, saying. The five kings are
found hid in a cave at Makkedah. And is
Joshua said. Roll great stones upon the
mouth of the cave, and set men by it for
to keep them : and stay you not, but pur- 19
sue after your enemies, and * smite the
hindmost of them; suffer them not to
enter into their cities : for the Lord your
God hath delivered them into your hand.
And it came to pass, when Joshua and 20
the children of Israel had made an end
of slaying them icith a ver}' great slaugh-
ter, •''till they were consumed, that the
re%t u'/i!ih remained of them entered into
fenced cities. And all the people re- 21
turned to the camp to Joshua at Mak-
kedah in peace: >none moved his tongue
against any of the children of Israel.
Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of 22
the cave, and bring out those five kings
unto me out of the cave. And they did 23
so, and brought forth those five kings
unto him out of the cave, the king of
Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king
of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the
king of Eglon. And it came to pass, 24
when they brought out those kings unto
Joshua, that Joshua called for all the
men of Israel, and said unto the cap-
tains of the men of war which went with
him, Come near, put your feet upon the
necks of these kings. And they came
near, and put their feet upon the necks
of them. And Joshua said unto them, 25
^Fear not, nor be dismayed, "be strong
and of good courage: for ''thus shall the
Lord do to all your enemies against
whom ye fight. And after^vard Joshua 26
smote them, and slew them, and hanged
them on five trees: and they '^were hang-
ing upon the trees until the evening.
And it came to pass at the time of the 27
going down of the sun, t/iat Joshua com-
manded, and they took them down off
the trees, and cast them into the cave
wherein they had been hid, and ''laid
great stones in the cave's mouth, 7i'/tich
remain until this very day.
And that day Joshua took Makkedah, 28
and smote it with the edge of the sword,
and the king thereof he utterly destroyed,
them, and all the souls that were therein ;
^he let none remain: and he did to the 'So Num.
king of Makkedah ""as he did unto the ^iiA.).
29 king of Jericho. Then Joshua passed vei^'o"'
from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, 37, 39.'4o'

did unto the king thereof as he did unto ^ ")■ *■
31 the king of Jericho. And Joshua passed & 1% Is.
from Libnah, and all Israel with him, fChr. 21.10.
unto Lacnish, and encamped agamst it, Jer. 52. i.
32 and fought against it: and the Lord de-
livered Lachish into the hand of Israel,
which took it on the second day, and
smote it with the edge of the sword,
and all the souls that iiwe therein, ac-
cording to all that he had done to Lib-
33 nah. Then Horam king of ''Gezer came *■, ':''• "• is-
up to help Lachish; and Joshua smote !t2i.'2i.'°'
him and his people, until he had left -'"^s- 1- 59.
34 him none remaining. And from Lach- I5— '17-
ish Joshua passed unto Eglon, and all '^^^^z^'^lo
Israel with him; and they encamped 4-
3s against it, and fought against it : and
they took it on that day, and smote it
with the edge of the sword, and all the
souls that 7i'cre therein he utterly de-
stroyed that day, according to all that
;6 he had done to Lachish. And Joshua
went up from Eglon, and all Israel with
him, unto Hebron; and they fought a-
37 gainst it : and they took it, and smote it
with the edge of the sword, and the
king thereof, and all the cities thereof,
and all the souls that were therein; he
left none remaining, according to all
that he had done to Eglon ; but de-
stroyed it utterly, and all the souls that
3S7C'ere therein. And Joshua returned, and
all Israel with him, to 'Debir; and fought ^"^J; '',^'-
:9 against it: and he took it, and the king & is- 15. if.
thereof, and all the cities thereof; and judg. V.'ii^
they smote them with the edge of the
sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls
that li'ere therein ; he left none remain-
ing: as he had done to Hebron, so he
did to Debir, and to the king thereof;
as he had done also to Libnah, and to
her king.
40 So Joshua smote all the country ofjg^^^J^ ^^
the hills, and of the south, and of the 3-
vale, and J of the springs, and all their ,6, "'.■°°'
kings: he left none remaining, but ''ut- P^- "■ "■

nea even unto ""Gaza, and all the coun-

all these kings and their land did Joshua
take at one time, "because the Lord
God of Israel fought for Israel, p And 43
Joshua returned, and all Israel with him,

busite in the mountains, and to J the Hi-
vite under ^ Hermon in the land of 'Miz-
peh. And they went out, they and all 4
their hosts with them, much people,
^cvcn as the sand that is upon the sea
shore in multitude, with horses and cha-
riots very many. And when all these 5
kings were 'met together, they came and
pitched together at the waters of Me-
rom, to fight against Israel.
And the Lord said unto Joshua, " Be 6
not afraid because of them: for to mor-
row about this time will I deliver them
up all slain before Israel : thou shalt
"hough their horses, and burn Ptheir
chariots with fire. So Joshua came, and 7
all the people of war with him, against
them by tlie waters of Merom ^ sudden-
ly; and they fell upon them. And the 8
Lord delivered them into the hand of
Israel, who smote them, and chased them
unto "great Zidon, and unto 'Misre-
photh-maim, and unto the valley of ■'Miz-
peh eastward ; and they smote them, until
they left them none remaining. And 9
Joshua did unto them ^as the Lord bade
him: he houghed their horses, and burnt
their chariots with fire. And Joshua at 10
that time turned back, and took Hazor,
and smote the king thereof with the
sword: for Hazor beforetime was the
head of all those kingdoms. And theyn
smote all the souls that were therein with
the edge of the sword, utterly destroying
them: there was not 'any left to breathe:
and he burnt Hazor with fire. And all 12
the cities of those kings, and all the kings
of them, did Joshua take, and smote
them with the edge of the sword, and he
utterly destroyed them, 'as Moses the
servant of the Lord commanded. But 13
as for the cities that stood still 'in their
strength, Israel burned none of them,
save Hazor only; that did Joshua bum.
14 And all the spoil of these cities, and the
cattle, the children of Israel took for a
prey unto themselves; but every man
they smote with the edge of the sword,
until they had destroyed them, neither
15 left they any to breathe. "As the Lord
commanded Moses his servant, so "did
Moses command Joshua, and "so did
Joshua; 'he left nothing undone of all
i5that the Lord commanded Moses. So
Joshua took all that land, ''the hills, and
all the south eoiiiitry, ^and all the land
of Goshen, and the valley, and the plain,
and ^the mountain of Israel, and the
17 valley of the same; ^evcn from "the mount
Halak, that goeth up to ''Seir, even un-
to "^Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon
under '*mount Hermon: and all their
kings he took, and smote them, and slew
isthem. Joshua made war '^a long time
19 with all those kings. There was not a
city that made peace with the children
of Israel, save fthe Hivites the inhabit-
ants of Gibeon : all other they took in
20 battle. For sit was of the Lord to
harden their hearts, that they should come
against Israel in battle, that he might
destroy them utterly, and that they might
have no favour, but that he might de-
.stroy them, ''as the Lord commanded
21 Moses. And at that time came Joshua,
and cut oft" ' the Anakims from the moun-
tains, from ''Hebron, from 'Debir, from
Anab, and from all the mountains of
Judah, and from all the mountains of
Israel : Joshua destroyed them utterly
22 with their cities. There was none of the
Anakims left in the land of the children
of Israel: only in "'Gaza, in "Gath, and
23 in °Ashdod, there remained. So Joshua
took the whole land, Paccording to all
that the Lord said unto Moses ; and
1 Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto
Israel according to their ■'divisions by
their tribes. ''And the land rested from

eveii to the one half of the children of
32 ''Machir by their families. These arc
the countries which Moses did distribute
for inheritance 'in the plains of Moab,
on the other side Jordan, by Jericho,
33 eastward. ^But unto the tribe of Levi
Moses gave not any inheritance : the
Lord God of Israel ivas their inherit-
ance, 8 as he said unto them. And
these are the countries which the chil-
dren of Israel inherited in the land of
Canaan, "which Eleazar the priest, and
Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads
of the fathers of the tribes of the chil-
dren of Israel, distributed for inherit-
2ance to them. ''By lot 7vas their in-
heritance, as the Lord commanded by
the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes,
3and_/w the half tribe. "^For Moses had
given the inheritance of two tribes and
a half tribe on the cM^r side Jordan:
but unto the Levites he gave none in-
4 heritance among them. For ''the chil-
dren of Joseph were two tribes, Ma-
nasseh and Ephraim : therefore they
gave no part unto the Levites in the
land, save cities to dwell ///, with their
suburbs for their i^ cattle and for their
5 substance. ^As the Lord commanded
Moses, so the children of Israel did,
and they divided the land.
6 Then the children of Judah came
unto Joshua in Gilgal : and Caleb the
son of Jephunneh the sKenezite said
unto him. Thou knowest "^ the thing

man of God concerning me and thee
7 in Kadesh-barnea. Forty years old nias
I when Moses the servant of the Lord
'sent me from Kadesh-barnea to espy
out the land; and I brought him word
8 again as // -was in mine heart. Never-
theless ''my brethren that went up with
me ''made the heart of the people melt:
but I wholly 'followed the Lord my
9 God. And Moses sware on that day,
saying, "^Surely the land "whereon thy
feet have trodden shall be thine inhe-
ritance, and thy children's for ever,
because thou hast 'wholly followed the
10 Lord my God. And now behold, the
Lord hath kept me alive, °as he said,
these forty and five years, ermi since
the Lord spake this word unto Moses,
while the children of Israel 'wandered in
the wilderness: and now lo, I am this
11 day Pfourscore and five years old. "lAs

that day; for thou heardest in that day
how ^the Anakims were there, and that
the cities locre great and fenced: if so
be the Lord wU! he with me, then I
shall be able to drive them out, as the
Lord said. And Joshua 'blessed him, 13
and "gave unto Caleb the son of Jephun-
neh Hebron for an inheritance. He- 14
bron therefore became the inheritance
of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the
Kenezite unto this day, because that he
''wholly followed the Lord God of Is-
rael. And >the name of Hebron before 15

great man among the Anakims. ^And
the land had rest from war.
This then was the lot of the tribe of •
the children of Judah by their families;

derness of Zin southward was the utter-

south border was ^from the shore of the

along to Zin, and ascended up on the

to Adar, and fetched a compass to

inhabitants of Jerusalem, the children of
Judah could not drive them out : but the
Jebusites dwell with the children of Ju-
dah at Jerusalem unto this day.
And the lot of the children of Joseph
'fell from Jordan by Jericho, unto the
water of Jericho on the east, to ^the wil-
derness that goeth up from Jericho
2 throughout mount Beth-el, and goeth
out from Beth-el to ''Luz, and passeth
along unto the borders of "^Archi to Ata-
3 roth, and goeth down westward to the
coast of Japhleti, unto the coast of "^Beth-
horon the nether, and to "=Gezer: and
the goings out thereof are at the sea.
4 fSo the children of Joseph, Manasseh
and Ephraim, took their inheritance.
5 And the border of the children of E-
phraim according to their families was
. thus: even the border of their inherit-
ance on the east side was sAtaroth-ad-
edar, unto ''Beth-horon the upper; and
the border went out toward the sea to
'Michmethah on the north side; and
the border went about eastivard unto
Taanath-'^shiloh, and passed by it on
7 the east to Janohah ; and it went down
from Janohah to Ataroth, and to 'Na-
arath, and came to Jericho, and went
8 out at Jordan. The border went out
from ""Tappuah westward unto the "river
Kanah ; and the goings out thereof were
at the sea. This is the inheritance of
the tribe of the children of Ephraim by
9 their families. And "the separate cities
for the children of Ephraim tcicrc among
the inheritance of the children of Manas-
seh, all the cities with their villages.
10 P And they drave not out the Canaanites
that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites
dwell among the Ephraimites unto this
day, and i serve under tribute.
There was also a lot for tlie tribe of
Manasseh; for he was the => firstborn of
Joseph; to wit, for ''Machir the firstborn
of Manasseh, the father of Gilead : be-
cause he was a man of war, therefore he
2 had ■= Gilead and Bashan. There was
also a lot for ''the rest of the children of

son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had
no sons, but daughters: and these are
the names of his daughters, Mahlah,
and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
And they came near before sEleazar the 4
priest, and before Joshua the son of
Nun, and before the princes, saying,
•^The Lord commanded Moses to give
us an inheritance among our brethren.
Therefore according to the command-
ment of the Lord he gave them an in-
heritance among the bretliren of their
father. And there fell 'ten portions to 5
Manasseh, J beside the land of Gilead
and Bashan, which were on the other
side Jordan; because the daughters of 6
Manasseh had an inheritance among his
sons: and the rest of Manasseh's sons
had the land of Gilead.
And the coast of Manasseh was from 7
Asher to '^Michmethah, that licth before
'Shechem; and the border went along
on the right hand unto the inhabitants
of En-"'tappuah. Now Manasseh had a
the land of Tappuah: but '"Tappuah on
the border of Manasseh belonged to the
children of Ephraim ; and the coast de- 9
scended nnto the "river Kanah, south-
ward of the river: "these cities of E-
phraim are among the cities of Manas-
seh : the coast of Manasseh also was on
the north side of the river, and the out-
goings of it were at the sea : southward 10
it was Ephraim's, and northward // Jvas
Manasseh's, and the sea is his border;
and they met together in Asher on the
north, and in Issachar on the east.
°And Manasseh had in Issachar and in n
Asher PlJeth-shean and her towns, and
ilbleam and her towns, and the inhabit-
ants of ■'Dor and her towns, and the in-
habitants of^Endorand her towns, and
the inhabitants of 'Taanach and her
towns, and the inhabitants of 'Megiddo
and her towns, ei'en three countries.
Yet "the children of Manasseh could 12
not drive out t/ie inhabitants of those
cities; but the Canaanites would dwell
in that land. Yet it came to pass, when 13
the children of Lsrael were waxen strong,
that they put the Canaanites to "tribute;
but did not utterly drive them out.
And '^the children of Joseph spake 14
unto yjoshua, saying, Why hast thou
given me but '^one lot and one portion
to inherit, seeing I am ^a great people,
forasmuch as the Lord hath blessed me
hitherto? And Joshua answered them, 15
If thou be a great people, then get thee
up to ''the wood country, and "^cut down
for thyself there in the land of the Periz-
zites and of the 'giants, if "Amount E-
lephraim be too narrow for thee. And
the children of Joseph said. The hill is
not enough for us : and all the Canaan-
ites that dwell in the land of the valley
have •= chariots of iron, both they who are
of Beth-shean and her towns, and they
17 who are fof the valley of Jezreel. And
Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph,
rren to Ephraim and to Manasseh, say-
ing. Thou ati a great people, and hast
great power: thou shalt not have one lot
is only: but the mountain shall be thine;
for it is a wood, and thou shalt cut it
down : and the outgoings of it shall be
thine: for thou shalt drive out the Ca-
naanites, though they have ^siron cha-
riots, ami thouglr they be strong.
And the whole congregation of the
children of Israel assembled together ^at
Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the
congregation there. And the land was
2 subdued before them. And there re-
mained among the children of Lsrael
seven tribes, which had not yet received
3 their inheritance. And Joshua said unto
the children of Israel, ''How long are you
slack to go to possess the land, which
the Lord God of your fathers hath given
4 you? Give out from among you three
men for eaeh tribe: and I will send
them, and they shall rise, and go through
the land, and describe it according to
the inheritance of them ; and they shall
5 come again to me. And they shall di-
vide it into seven parts: '^Judah shall
abide in their coast on the south, and
•ithe house of Joseph shall abide in their
6 coasts on the north. Ye shall therefore
describe the land into seven parts, and
bring the description hither to me, '=that
I may cast lots for you here before the
7 Lord our God. ^But the Levites have
no part among you; for the priesthood
of the Lord is their inheritance: sand
Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe of
Manasseh, have received their inherit-
ance beyond Jordan on the east, which
Moses the servant of the Lord gave
8 them. And the men arose, and went
away: and Joshua charged them that
went to describe the land, saying, Go
and walk through the land, and describe
it, and come again to me, that I may
here cast lots for you before the Lord
9 in Shiloh. And the men went and pass-
ed through the land, and described it

by cities into seven parts in a book, and
came again to Joshua to the host at Shi-
loh. And Joshua cast lots for them in 10
Shiloh before the Lord: and there Joshua
divided the land unto the children of
Israel according to ''their divisions.
And the lot of the tribe of the chil- n !
dren of Benjamin came up according to
their families : and the coast of their lot
came forth between the children of Ju-
dah and the children of Joseph. 'And 12
their border on the north side was from
Jordan; and the border went up to the
side of Jericho on the north side, and
went up through the mountains west-
ward; and the goings out thereof were
'at the wilderness of -i Beth-aven. And 13
the border went over from thence to-
kch. 16. 2. ward Luz, to the side of Luz, i^ which is
Beth- el, southward; and the border de-
scended to 'Ataroth-adar, near the hill
that lieth on the south side '"of the ne-
ther Beth-horon. And the border was 14
drawn thciice, and compassed the corner
of the sea southward, from the hill that
licth before '"Beth-horon southward; and
the goings out thereof were at " Kirjath-
baal, which is Kirjath-jearim, a city of
the children of Judah : this was the west
quarter. And the south quarter was 15
from the end of Kirjath-jearim, and the
border went out on the west, and went
out to °the well of waters of Nephtoah:
and the border came down to the end 16
of the mountain that lieth before the
valley of the son of Hinnom, atid which
is in Pthe valley of the giants on the
north, and descended to the ivalley of
Hinnom, to the side of Jebusi on the
south, and descended to ''En-rogel, and 17
was drawn from the north, and went
forth to ''En-shemesh, and went forth to-
ward ^Geliloth, which is over against the
going up of Adummim, and descended
to 'the stone of Bohan the son of Reu-
ben, and passed along toward the side 18
over against "Arabah northward, and
went down unto Arabah : and the border 19
passed along to the side of "Beth-hoglah
northward : and the outgoings of the
border were at the north 'bay of the salt
sea at the south end of Jordan: this was
the south coast. And Jordan was the 20
border of it on the east side. This was
the inheritance of the children of Benja-
min, by the coasts thereof round about,
according to their f;imilies.

and Shion, and Anaharath, and Rab- ;o
bith, and ''■ Kishion, and .^bez, and 21

reacheth to ^ Tabor, and Shahazimah,
and ''Beth-shemesh; and the outgoings
of their border were at Jordan : sixteen
cities with their villages. This is the 23
inheritance of the tribe of the children
of Issachar accordmg to their families,
the cities ami their villages.
And the fifth lot came out for the 24
tribe of the children of Asher accord-
ing to their families. And their bor- 25
der was '^ Helkath, and Hali, and Beten,
and ''Achshaph, and Alammelech, and i6

and the coast turneth to Hosah; and
the outgoings thereof are at the sea
from the coast to 'Achzib: Ummah also, 30
and '"Aphek, and 'Rehob: "twenty and
two cities with their villages. This is zn
the inheritance of the tribe of the chil-
dren of Asher according to their fami-
lies, these cities with their villages.
The sixth lot came out to the chil- 32
dren of Naphtali, et<cn for the children
of Naphtali according to their families.
And their coast was from Heleph, from 33
°Allon to Zaanannim, and Adami, Ne-
keb, and Jabneel, unto Lakum; and
the outgoings thereof were at Jordan:
and then the coast turneth Pwestward 34
to lAznoth-tabor, and goeth out from
thence to Hukkok, and reacheth to Ze-
bulun on the south side, and reacheth
to Asher on the west side, and to Judah

keh, and ''Gibbethon, and=Baalath, and
Jehud, and Bene-berak, and fGath-rim-
mon, and Me-jarkon, and Rakkon, with
the border 'before 'Japho. And sthe
coast of the children of Dan went out
too little for them: therefore the children
of Dan went up to fight against Leshem,
and took it, and smote it with the edge
of the sword, and possessed it, and
dwelt therein, and called ^ Leshem,
Dan, after the name of Dan their fa-
ther. This is the inheritance of the
tribe of the children of Dan according
to their families, these cities with their
villages.
When they had made an end of
dividing the land for inheritance by
their coasts, the children of Israel gave
an inheritance to Joshua the son of Nun
among them : according to the word of
the Lord they gave him the city which
he asked, a'cn 'Timnath-serah in mount
Ephraim: and he built the city, and
dwelt therein. ''These a/r the inherit-
ances, which Eleazar the priest, and Jo-
shua the son of Nun, and the heads of
the fathers of the tribes of the children
of Israel, divided for an inheritance by
lot 'in Shiloh before the Lord, at the
door of the tabernacle of the congrega-
tion. So they made an end of dividing
the country.
The Lord also spake unto Joshua,
saying, .Speak to the children of Israel,
.saying, "Appoint out for you cities of
refuge, whereof I spake unto you by the
hand of Moses: that the slayer that
'■killeth any person unawares and "^un-
wittingly may flee thither: and they shall
be your refuge from the avenger of

unto one of those cities ''shall stand at
the entering of the gate of the city, and
shall declare his cause in the ears of the
elders of that city, they shall take him
into the city unto them, and give him a
place, that he may dwell among them.
And if the avenger of blood pursue after s
him, then they shall not 'deliver the
sl^iyer up into his hand; because he
smote his neighbour funwittingly, and
hated him not beforetime. And he 6
shall dwell in that city, suntil he stand
before the congregation for judgment,
and until the death of ''the high priest
that shall be in those days: then shall
the slayer return, and come unto his
own city, and unto his own house,
unto the city from whence he fled.
And they 'appointed 'Kedesh in Gali- 7
lee in mount Naphtali, and 'Shechem
in ''mount Ephraim, and 'Kirjath-arba,
which is Hebron, in the mountain of
Judah. And on the other side Jordan s
by Jericho eastward, they assigned ™Be-
zer in the wilderness upon "the plain
out of the tribe of Reuben, and °Ra-
moth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad,
and P Golan in Bashan out of the tribe
of Manasseh. These were the cities 9
appointed for all the children of Israel,
and for ithe stranger that sojourneth
among them, that whosoever ■'killeth
any person at unawares might flee
thither, and not die by the hand of
the avenger of blood, ^until he stood
before the congregation.
Then came near the heads of the fa-
thers of the Levites unto ^Eleazar the
priest, and unto Joshua the son of Nun,
and unto the heads of the fathers of the
tribes of the children of Israel; and 2
they spake unto them at ''Shiloh in the
land of Canaan, saying, "^The Lord com-
manded by the hand of Moses to give
us cities to dwell in, with the suburbs
thereof for our cattle. And the children 3
of Israel gave unto the Levites out of
their inheritance, at the commandment
of the Lord, these cities and their sub-
urbs. And the lot came out for the fa- 4
milies of the Kohathites: and ''the chil-
dren of Aaron the priest, uihich were of
the Levites, ''had by lot out of the tribe
of Judah, and out of the tribe of Simeon,
and out of the tribe of Benjamin, thir-
teen cities. And fthe rest of the chil- 5
dren of Kohath had by lot out of the fa-
milies of the tribe of Ephraim, and out
of the tribe of Dan, and out of the half
6 tribe of Manasseh, ten cities. And sthe
children of Gershon had by lot out of
the families of the tribe of Issachar, and
out of the tribe of Asher, and out of the
tribe of Naphtali, and out of the half
tribe of Manasseh in Bashan, thirteen
7 cities. ''The children of Merari by their
families had out of the tribe of Reuben,
and out of the tribe of Gad, and out of
8 the tribe of Zebulun, twelve cities. 'And
the children of Israel gave by lot unto
the Levites these cities with their sub-
urbs, as the Lord commanded by the
hand of Moses.
9 And they gave out of the tribe of the
children of Judah, and out of the tribe
of the children of Simeon, these cities
which are here 'mentioned by name,
10 1' which the children of Aaron, be'mg of
the families of the Kohathites, who were
of the children of Levi, had : for theirs
11 was the first lot. 'And they gave them
'the city of Arbah the father of '"Anak,
which city is Hebron, "in the hill country
of Judah, with the suburbs thereof round
12 about it. But "the fields of the city,
and the villages thereof, gave they to Ca-
leb the son of Jephunneh for his posses-
13 sion. Thus they gave to the children of
Aaron the priest p Hebron with her sub-
urbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer;
14 and iLibnah with her suburbs, and ''Jat-

And the Lord gave unto Israel ''all 43

dwelt therein. And the Lord 'gave 44
them rest round about, according to all
that he sware unto their fathers: and

kept ^all that Moses the servant of the
Lord commanded you, and have obey-
ed my voice in all that I commanded
3 you: ye have not left your brethren
these many days unto this day, but ha\e
kept the charge of the commandment of
4 the Lord your God. And now ''the
Lord your God hath given rest unto
your brethren, as he promised them:
therefore now return ye, and get ye
unto your tents, and unto the land of
your possession, "^which Moses the ser-
vant of the Lord gave you on the other
5 side Jordan. But ''take diligent heed
to do the commandment and the law,
which Moses the servant of the Lord
charged you, "=to lo^e the Lord your
God, and to walk in all his ways, and to
keep his commandments, and to ''cleave
unto him, and to ser\e him with all your
6 heart and with all your soul. So Joshua
s blessed them, and sent them away: and
7 they went unto their tents. Now to the
one half of the tribe of Manasseh Moses
had gwen /'ossession in Bashan : '"but unto
the ^/Av half thereof gave Joshua among
their brethren on this side Jordan west-
ward. And when Joshua sent them
away also unto their tents, then he bles.s-
8ed them, and he spake unto them, say-
ing. Return with much 'riches unto your
tents, and with very much cattle, with
silver, and with gold, and with brass,
and with iron, and with very much rai-
ment: J divide the spoil of your enemies
9 with your brethren. And the children
of Reuben and the children of Gad and
the half tribe of Manasseh returned, and
departed from the children of Israel out
of '^Shiloh, which is in the land of Ca-
naan, to go unto 'the country of Gilead,
to the land of their po.ssession, whereof
they were possessed, according to the
word of the Lord by the hand of Mo-

borders of Jordan, that are in the land
of Canaan, the children of Reuben and

children of Israel "heard n
the children of Reuben and
the children of (iad and the half tribe
of Manasseh have built an altar over
against the land of Canaan, in the bor-
ders of Jordan, at the passage of the
children of Israel. And when the chil- 12
dren of Israel heard of it, "the whole
congregation of the children of Israel
gathered themselves together at Shiloh,
to go up to war against them. And the 13
children of Israel "sent unto the children
of Reuben, and to the children of Gad,
and to the half tribe of Manasseh, into
the land of Gilead, "Phinehas the .son of
Eleazar the priest, and with him ten 14
princes, of each 'chief house a prince
throughout all the tribes of Israel; and
Peach one was a head of the house of
their fathers among the thousands of Is-
rael. And they came unto the children 15
of Reuben, and to the children of Gad,
and to the half tribe of Manasseh, unto
the land of Gilead, and they spake with
them, saying, Thus saith the whole con- 16
gregation of the Lord, What trespass is
this that ye have committed against the
God of Israel, to turn away this day
from following the Lord, in that ye
have builded you an altar, that ye might
■irebel tJtis day against the Lord? Is \^
the iniquity of ■'Peor too little for us,
from which w^e are not cleansed until
this day, although there was a plague in
the congregation of the Lord, but that 18
ye must turn away this day from follow-
ing the Lord? and it will be, seeing ye
1 rebel to day against the Lord, that to
morrow ^he will be wroth with the whole
congregation of Israel. Notwithstand- ic
ing, if the land of your possession be un-
clean, then pass ye over unto the land of
the possession of the Lord, 'wherein
the Lord's taliernacle dwelleth, and take
possession among us: but irebel not
against the Lord, nor rebel against us,
in building you an altar beside the altar
of the Lord our God. "Did not Achan 2c
the son of Zerah commit a trespass in
the accursed thing, and wrath fell on all
the congregation of Israel? and that man
perished not alone in his iniquity.
Then the children of Reuben and the 2.
children of C^ad and the half tribe of
Manasseh answered, and said unto the
heads of the thou.sands of Israel, The 2:
Lord ''(Jod of gods, the Lord God of
gods, he '^knoweth, and Israel he shall
know : if it be in rebellion, or if in trans-
gression against the I>ord, (save us not
23 this day,) that we have built us an
altar to turn from following the Lord;
or if to ofter thereon burnt offering or
meat offering, or if to offer peace offer-
ings thereon, let the Lord himself >re- \l ^|.™- =°-

it for fear of this thing, saving, 'In time '"'''■

the Lord hath made Jordan a border c\T\'. 6, 2°'
between us and you, ye children of Reu-
ben and children of Gad; ye have no
part in the Lord : so shall your children
make our children cease from fearing
=6 the Lord: therefore we said, Let us
now prepare to build us an altar, not for
27 burnt offering, nor for sacrifice : but that
it may be ^a witness between us, and 'ver. 28, 34.

7cie might "do the service of the Lord «Deut. 12. s,
before him with our burnt offerings, and i8,"'6,'2V'
with our sacrifices, and with our peace
offerings; that your children may not
say to our children in time to come. Ye
28 have no part in the Lord. Therefore
said we, that it shall be, when they
should so say to us or to our generations
in time to come, that we may say again,
Behold the ''pattern of the altar of the "See Deut.

burnt offerings, nor for sacrifices; but it
29 is a witness between us and you. God
forbid that we should <^rebel against the ' ver. 16, 18,
Lord, and turn this day from following '^' °°'
the Lord, to build an altar for burnt of-
ferings, for meat offerings, or for sacri-
fices, besides the altar of the Lord our

30 And when <^ Phinehas the priest, and '' ver. 13, 14.
the princes of the congregation and

children of Israel; and the children of
Israel s blessed God, and did not intend
to go up against them in battle, to de-
stroy the land wherein the children of
Reuben and Gad dwelt. And the chil- 34

And it came to pass a long time after
that the Lord "had given rest unto Is-
rael from all their enemies round about,
that Joshua ''wa.xed old and 'stricken in
age. And Joshua '^called for all Israel, 2
and for their elders, and for their heads,
and for their judges, and for their ''offi-
cers, and said unto them, I am old and
stricken in age: and ye have seen all 3
that the Lord your God hath done unto
all these nations because of you ; for the
•^LoRD your God is he that hath fought
for you. Behold, fl have divided unto 4

of the law of Moses, ''that ye turn not

"\JOW after the death of Joshua it
1 N came to pass, that the children of
Israel ^ asked the Lord, saying, ''Who
shall go up for us against the Canaan-
ites first, to fight against them? And 2
the Lord said, Judah shall go up: be-
hold, I have delivered the land into his
hand. And Judah said unto Simeon 3
his brother. Come up with me into my
lot, that we may fight against the Ca-
naanites; and "^I likewise will go with
thee into thy lot. So Simeon went with
him. And Judah went up; and the 4
Lord delivered the Canaanites and the
Perizzites into their hand : and they
slew 0/ them in ''Bezek ten thousand
men. And they found Adoni-bezek in 5
Bezek: and they fought against him,
and they slew the Canaanites and the
Perizzites. But Adoni-bezek fled; and 0
they pursued after him, and caught him,
and cut off his thumbs and his great
toes. And Adoni-bezek said, Three- 7
score and ten I'-ings, having 'their thumbs
and their great toes cut off, 'gathered
i/u'ir meat under my table: "^as I have
done, so God hath requited me. And
they brought him to Jerusalem, and
there he died. Now fthe children of s
Judah had fought against Jerusalem,
and had taken it, and smitten it with
the edge of the sword, and set the city
on fire.
And aftenvard the children of Judah 9
went down to fight against the Canaan-
ites, that dwelt in the mountain, and in
the south, and in the 'valley. And Ju-io
dah went against the Canaanites that
dwelt in s Hebron: (now the name of
Hebron before was Kirjath-arba:) and
they slew '•Sheshai, and AJiiman, and
Talmai. And from thence he went n
against the inhabitants of 'Debir: and
the name of Debir before 7i.'as Kirjath-
sepher. '^ And Caleb said. He that n
smiteth Kirjath-sepher, and taketh it.
to him will I give Achsah my daughter
13 to wife. And Othniel the son of Ke-
naz, 'Caleb's younger brother, took it:
and he gave him Achsah his daughter
14 to wife. And it came to pass, when
she came to him., that she moved him to
ask of her father a field : and she lighted
from off her ass; and Caleb said unto
15 her. What wilt thou? And she said
unto him, Give me a blessing : for thou
hast given me a south land; give me
also springs of water. And Caleb gave
her the upper springs and the nether
springs.
16 And the children of the '" Kenite,
Moses' father in law, went up out "of
the city of palm trees with the children
of Judah into the wilderness of Judah,
which licth in the south of °Arad; Pand
they went and dwelt among the people.
■/"lAnd Judah went with Simeon his
brother, arid they slew the Canaanites
that inhabited ''Zephath, and utterly de-
stroyed it : and the name of the city
iswas called '^Hormah. Also Judah took
■Gaza with the coast thereof, and "A.s-
kelon with the coast thereof, and "' Ekron
19 with the coast thereof. And "^the Lord
was with Judah; and "he drave out the
inhabitants of the mountain; but could
not drive out the inhabitants of the
valley, because they had >'chariots of
20 iron. ^And they gave Hebron unto
Caleb, as Moses said: and he expelled
21 thence the three sons of Anak. •''And
the children of Benjamin did not drive
out the Jebusites that inhabited Jeru-
salem; but ''the Jebusites dwell with
the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem
unto this day.
22 And the house of Joseph, they also
went up against Beth-el : and tlie Lord
2j 7i'as with them. And the house of Jo-
seph "^sent to descry Beth-el. (Now the
name of the city before was ''Luz.)

him, Shew us, we pray thee, the en-

the entrance into the city, they smote
the city with the edge of the sword;
but they let go the man and all his
family. And the man went into f the 26
land of the Hittites, and built a city,
and called the name thereof Luz : which
is the name thereof unto this day.
^Neither did Manasseh drive out the^iq

nor Taanach and her towns, nor the
inhabitants of Dor and her towns, nor
the inhabitants of Ibleam and her town.s,
nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and her
towns: but the Canaanites would dwell
in that land. And it came to pass, 28
when Israel was strong, that they put
the Canaanites to tribute, and did not
utterly drive them' out.
1^ Neither did Ephraim drive out the 29
Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; 'but
the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among
them. Neither did Zebulun drive out 30
the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the J in-
habitants of Nahalol; but the Canaan-
ites dwelt among them, and became
tributaries. Neither did Asher drive out 31
the inhabitants of Accho, nor the in-
habitants of i^Zidon, nor of Ahlab, nor
of ''Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of
''Aphik, nor of ■'Rehob : but the Asher- 32
ites 'dwelt among the Canaanites, the
inhabitants of the land : for they did not
drive them out. Neither did Naphtali 33
drive out the inhabitants of '"Beth-she-
mesh, nor the inhabitants of '" Beth-
anath; but he 'dwelt among the Canaan-
ites, the inhabitants of the land: never-
theless the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh
and of Beth-anath "became tributaries
unto them. And °the Amorites forced 34
the children of Dan into the mountain :
for they would not suffer them to come
down to the valley: but the Amorites 35
would dwell in mount PHeres in lAija-
lon, and in <JShaaIbim: yet the hand of
the house of Joseph 'prevailed, so that
they became tributaries. And the coast 36
of the Amorites was from "the going
up to Akrabbim, from the rock, and
upward.
And an 'angel of the Lord came up

them. And yet they would not hearken 17
unto their judges, but they >went a
whoring after other gods, and bowed
themselves unto them: ^they turned
quickly out of the way which their fa-
thers walked in, obeying the command-
ments of the Lord; but they did not so.
And when the Lord raised them up is
judges, then ='the Lord was with the
judge, and delivered them out of the
hand of their enemies all the days of the
judge: for ''it repented the Lord be-
cause of their '^groanings by reason of
them that oppressed them and vexed
them. And it came to pass, ''when the 19
judge was dead, that they returned, and
"corrupted thcinsch'cs more than their fa-
thers, in following other gods to serve
them, and to bow down unto them;
'they ceased not from their own doings,
nor from their stubborn way. And "=the 20
anger of the Lord was hot against Is-
rael ; and he said. Because that this peo-
ple hath ^transgressed my covenant which
I commanded their fathers, and have
not hearkened unto my voice; si also n
will not henceforth drive out any from
before them of the nations which Joshua
left when he died: that ''through them 22
I may 'prove Israel, whether they will
keep the way of the Lord to walk
therein, as their fathers did keep it, or
not. Therefore the Lord 'left those na-23
tions, without driving them out hastily;
neither delivered he them into the hand
of Joshua. Now these are *the nations
which the Lord left, to prove Israel by
them, even as many of Israel as had not
known all the wars of Canaan; only 2
that the generations of the children of
Israel might know, to teach them war,
at the least such as before knew nothing
thereof: 7iamc/y, ''five lords of the Phi- 3

Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in
mount <= Lebanon, from mount Baal-her-
mon unto the entering in of Hamath.
And they were ^to prove Israel by them, 4
to know whether they would hearken
unto the commandments of the Lord,
which he commanded their fathers by
the hand of Moses.
''And the children of Israel dwelt s
among the Canaanites, Hittites, and
Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites,
and Jebusites: and ''they took their 6

and thrust it into his belly; and the haft:2
also went in after the blade; and the fat
closed upon the blade, so that he could
not draw the dagger out of his belly;
and 'the dirt came out. Then Ehud 23
went forth through the porch, and ='shut
the doors of the parlour upon him, and
''locked them. When he was gone out, 24
his servants came; and when they saw
that behold, the doors of the parlour
were locked, they said, Surely he 'cover-
eth his feet in his summer chamber.
And they tarried till they were ashamed: 25
and behold, he opened not the doors of
the parlour; therefore they took a key,
and opened them: and behold, their lord
7C'as fallen down dead on the earth.
And Ehud escaped while they "^tarried, 26
and passed beyond the ''quarries, and
escaped unto Seirath. And it came to 27
pass, when he was come, that "=he blew
a trumpet in the fmountain of Ephraim,
and the children of Israel went down
with him from the mount, and he before
them. And he said unto them. Follow 28
after me: for sthe Lord hath delivered
your enemies the Moabites into your
hand. And they went down after him,
and took 'uhe fords of Jordan toward
Moab, and suffered not a man to pass
over. And they slew of Moab at that 29
time about ten thousand men, all 'lusty,
and all men of valour; and there escaped
not a man. So Moab was subdued that 30
day under the hand of Israel. And 'the
land had rest fourscore years.
And after him was "Shamgar the son 31
of Anath, which slew of the Philistines
six hundred men with an o.\ goad.; ^ and
he also delivered 'Israel.
And "the children of Israel again did
evil in the sight of the L()rd, when Ehud
was dead. And the Lord ''sold them 2
into the hand of '^Jabin king of Canaan,
that reigned in '^Hazor; the captain of
whose ho.st ^cas 'Sisera, which dwelt in
''Harosheth of the Gentiles. And the 3
children of Israel '^cried unto the Lord:
for he had nine hundred fchariots of
iron; and twenty years ^he mightily op-
pressed the children of Israel. And De- 4
borah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapi-
doth, she judged Israel at that time.
And she dwelt under the palm tree of s
Deborah between ''Ramah and Beth-el
in 'mount Ephraim: and the children of
Israel came up to her for judgment.
And she sent and called liarak the son 6
of Abinoam out of ^ Kedesh-naphtali,
and said unto him, Hath not the Lord
God of Israel commanded, saviiii^, Go
and draw toward mount 'Tabor, and
take with thee ten thousand men of the
children of Naphtali and of the children
7of Zebulun? And I will draw unto thee
to the "'river Kishon Sisera, the captain
of Jahin's army, with his chariots and
his multitude; and "I will deliver him
8 into thine hand. And Barak said unto
her, °If thou wilt go with me, then I
will go ; but if thou wilt not go with me,
gthe?! I will not go. And .she said, I will
surely go with thee; notwithstanding the
journey that thou takest shall not be for
thine honour; for the Lord shall Psell
Sisera into the hand of a woman. And
Deborah arose, and went with Barak to
10 Kedesh. And Barak called iZebulun
and Naphtali to Kedesh; and he went
up with ten thousand men ■'at his feet;
11 and Deborah went up with him. Now
Heber '^the Kenite, which was of the
children of 'Hobab the father in law of
Moses, had severed himself from the
Kenites, and pitched his tent unto "the
plain of Zaanaim, which is by Kedesh.
12 And they shewed Sisera that Barak the
son of Abinoam was gone up to mount
13 'Tabor. And Sisera 'gathered together
all his ''chariots, even nine hundred cha-
riots of iron, and all the people that
7i'cre with him, from Harosheth of the
14 Gentiles unto the river of Kishon. And
Deborah said unto Barak, Up; for this
is the day in which "the Lord hath de-
livered Sisera into thine hand: "is not
the Lord gone out before thee? So Ba-
rak went down from mount ' Tabor, and
15 ten thousand men after him. And the
Lord ''discomfited Sisera, and all his
chariots, and all his host, with the edge
of the sword before Barak ; so that Si-
sera lighted down off his chariot, and
16 fled away on his feet. But Barak pur-
sued after the chariots, and after the
host, unto Harosheth of the Gentiles:
and all the host of Sisera fell upon the
edge of the sword; a7id there was not 'a
17 man left. Howbeit Sisera fled away on
his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of
Heber the Kenite; for there was peace
between Jabin the king of Hazor and
18 the house of Heber the Kenite. And
Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said
unto him. Turn in, my lord, turn in to
me; fear not. And when he had turned
in unto her into the tent, she covered
19 him with a 'mantle. And he said unto

to drink; for I am thirsty. And .she
opened a bottle >'of milk, and gave him
drink, and covered him. Again he said 20
unto her. Stand i/i the door of the tent,
and it shall be, when any man doth
come and inquire of thee, and say. Is
there any man here? that thou shalt say,
No. Then Jael Heber's wife took ^a2i
nail of the tent, and 'took a hammer
in her hand, and went softly unto him,
and smote the nail into his temples, and
fastened it into the ground : for he was
fast asleep and weary. So he died. And 22
behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael
came out to meet him, and said unto
him, Come, and I will shew thee the
man whom thou seekest. And when he
came into her tent, behold, Sisera lay
dead, and the nail was in his temples.

king of Canaan before the children of
Israel. And the hand of the children 24
of Israel * prospered, and prevailed a-
gainst Jabin the king of Canaan, until
they had destroyed Jabin king of Ca-
naan.
Then ^sang Deborah and Barak the
son of Abinoam on that day, saying.

of Israel,
'^When the people willingly offered
themselves.

In the days of JShamgar the son of 6
Anath,
In the days of ''Jael, 'the highways
were unoccupied.

Then teas war in the gates :
"Was there a shield or spear seen

Bless ye the Lord.
'Speak, ye ithat ride on white asses,
"■Ye that sit in judgment,

They that are delivered from the noise
of archers in Hhe places of drawing
water,
There shall they rehearse the 'righte-

Even the 'righteous acts towards the in-

Then shall the people of the Lord go

'Awake, awake, Deborah:
Awake, awake, utter a song:

Then he made him that remaineth

ing, Did not the Lord bring us up from
Egypt? but now the Lord hath forsaken
us, and dehvered us into the hands of
the ''Midianites. And the Lord looked m
upon him, and said, ^Go in this thy
might, and thou shalt save Israel from
the hand of the ''Midianites: 'have not
I sent thee? And he said unto him, O 15
my Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel?
behold, ""my family is poor in Manas-
seh, and I am the least in my father's
house. And the Lord said unto him, 16
"Surely I will be with thee, and thou
shalt smite the •'Midianites as one man.
And he said unto him. If now "I have 17

part not hence, I pray thee, until I

^ And Gideon went in, and made ready 19
♦a kid, and unleavened cakes o/an ephah
of flour: the flesh he put in a basket,
and he put the broth in a pot, and
brought // out unto him under the oak,
and presented //. And the angel of:o
God said unto him. Take the flesh and
the unleavened caia, and ''lay i/u-m up-
on this rock, and '=pour out the broth.
And he did so. Then the angel of the 21
Lord put forth the end of the staff that
was in his hand, and touched the flesh
and the unleavened cakes; and ''there
rose up fire out of the rock, and con-
sumed the flesh and the unleavened
cakes. Then the angel of the Lord de-
parted out of his sight, .^nd when Gi- =2
deon = perceived that he was an angel
of the Lord, Gideon said, Alas, O Lord
God ! ''for because I have seen an angel
of the Lord face to face. And the 23
Lord said unto him, s Peace be unto
thee ; fear not : thou shalt not die. Then 24
Gideon built an altar there unto the
Lord, and called it • Jehovah-shalom :
unto this day it is yet in ''Ophrah of the
Abi-ezrites.
And it came to pass the same night, =5
that the Lord said unto him. Take thy
father's young bullock, 'even the second
bullock of seven years old, and throw
down the altar of Baal that thy father
hath, and 'cut down the grove that is by
it : and build an altar unto the Lord 26
thy God upon the top of this 'rock, 'in
the ordered place, and take the second
bullock, and offer a burnt sacrifice with
the wood of the grove which thou shalt
27 cut down. Then Ciideon took ten men
of his servants, and did as the Lord
had said unto him: and so it was, be-
cause he feared his father's household,
and the men of the city, that he could
not do // by day, that he did // by night.
28 And when the men of the city arose
early in the morning, behold, the altar
of Baal was cast down, and the grove
was cut down that was by it, and the
second bullock was offered upon the al-
29 tar that was built. And they said one
to another, Who hath done this thing?
And when they inquired and asked, they
said, Gideon the son of Joash hath done
30 this thing. Then the men of the city
said unto Joash, Bring out thy son, that
he may die : because he hath cast down
the altar of Baal, and because he hath
cut down the grove that 7vas by it.
31 And Joash said unto all that stood a-
gainst him, Will ye plead for Baal? will
ye save him? he that will plead for him,
let him be put to death whil.st // is yet
morning : if he be a god, let him plead
for himself, because one hath cast down
32 his altar. Therefore on that day he
called him 'Jerubbaal, saying. Let Baal
plead against him, because he hath
thrown down his altar.
33 Then all 'the.Midianites and the A-
malekites and the children of the east
were gathered together, and went over,
and pitched in "the valley of Jezreel.
34 But "the spirit of the Lord 'came upon
Gideon, and he "blew a trumpet; and
35 Abi-ezer 'was gathered after him. And
he sent messengers throughout all Ma-
nasseh; who also 'was gathered after
him : and he sent messengers unto Asher,
and unto Zebulun, and unto Naphtali;
and they came up to meet them.
36 And Gideon said unto God, If thou
wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou
37 hast said, Pbehold, I will put a fleece of
wool in the floor ; and if the dew be on
the fleece only, and it be dry upon all
the earth beside, then shall I know that
thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as
jsthou hast said. And it was so: for he
rose up early on the morrow, and thrust
the fleece together, and wringed the dew
out of the fleece, a ibowl full <;/■ water.
39 And Gideon said unto God, ■'Let not
thine anger be hot against me, and I
will speak but this once: let me pro\e,

for it was dry upon the fleece only, and
there was dew on all the ground.
Then -'Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and
all the people that were with him, rose
up early, and pitched beside ''the well
of Harod: so that the host of the Midi-
anites were on the north side of them,
by the hill of '^Moreh, ''in the valley.
And the Lord said unto Gideon, The 2
people that are with thee are too many
for me to give the Midianites into their
hands, lest Israel '^ vaunt themselves
against me, saying. Mine own hand
hath saved me. Now therefore go to, 3
proclaim in the ears of the people, say-
ing, "= Whosoever is fearful and ''afraid,
let him return and depart early from
mount Gilead. And there returned of
the people twenty and two thousand;
and there remained ten thousand. And 4
the Lord said unto Gideon, The peo-
ple are yet too many ; bring them down
unto the water, and I fwill try them for
thee there : and it shall be, f/urf of whom
I say unto thee, This shall go with thee,
the same shall go with thee; and of
whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall
not go with thee, the same shall not go.
So he brought down the people unto 5
the water: and the Lord said unto Gi-
deon, Every one that lappeth of the
water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth,
him shalt thou set by himself; likewise
every one that boweth down upon his
knees to drink. And the number of 6
them that lapped, putting their hand to
their mouth, were three hundred men :
but all the rest of the people bowed
down upon their knees to drink water.
And the Lord said unto Gideon, sBy 7
■ the three hundred men that lapped will
I save you, and deliver the Midianites
into thine hand: and let all the oi/ier
people go every man unto his place.
So the people took victuals in their 8
hand, and their trumpets: and he sent
all i/ie rest of Israel every man unto his
tent, and retained those three hundred
men: and the host of Midian was be-
neath him ''in the valley.
And it came to pass the same 'night, 9
that the Lord said unto him. Arise,
get thee down unto the host; for J I
have delivered it into thine hand. But 10
if thou fear to go down, go thou with
Phurah thy servant down to the host:
and thou shalt i^hear what they say;ii

Then went he down with Phurah his
servant unto the outside of the

13 for multitude. And when Gideon was
come, behold, there was a man that told
a dream unto his fellow, and said, Be-
hold, I dreamed a dream, and lo, a
cake of barley bread tumbled into the
host of Midian, and came unto a tent,
and smote it that it fell, and overturned
14 it, that the tent lay along. And his
fellow answered and said. This is no-
thing else save the sword of Gideon the
son of Joash, a man of Israel : for into
his hand hath God delivered Midian,
15 and all the host. And it was so, when
Gideon heard the telling of the dream,
and Hhe interpretation thereof, that he \^jf;.f^,..
worshipped, and returned into the host ingthtrcof.
of Israel, and said. Arise; for the Lord
hath delivered into your hand the host
16 of Midian. And he divided the three
hundred men into three companies, and
he put *a trumpet in every man's hand,
with empty pitchers, and 'lamps within thcimitdof
17 the pitchers. And he said unto them.

to the 'border of "Abel-meholah, unto
Tabbath. And the men of Israel >ga- 23
thered themselves together ^out of Naph-
tali, and out of Asher, and out of all
Manasseh, and pursued after the Midi-
anites.
And Gideon sent messengers through- 24
out all ''mount Ephraim, saying, Come
down against the Midianites, and take
before them the waters unto Beth-barah
and Jordan. Then all the men of E-
phraim ygathered themselves together,
and ''took the waters unto '^Beth-barah
and Jordan. And they took ''two princes 25
of the Midianites, Oreb and Zeeb; and
they slew Oreb upon "=the rock Oreb,
and Zeeb they slew at the winepress of
Zeeb, and pursued Midian, and brought
the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon
on the other side Jordan. And "the
men of Ephraim said unto him, 'Why
hast thou served us thus, that thou call-
edst us not, when thou wentest to fight
with the Midianites? And they did
chide with him 'sharply. And he said 2
unto them, What have I done now in

ing of the grapes of Ephraim better than
the vintage of Abi-ezer? ' God hath 3
delivered into your hands the princes of
Midian, Oreb and Zeeb: and what was
I able to do in comparison of you?
Then dieir '''anger was abated toward
him, when he had said that
And Gideon came to Jordan, aftd 4

men that ^cere with him, faint, yet pur-
suing them. And he said unto the men 5
of ^Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves of
bread unto the people ^that follow me;
for' they he faint, and I am pursuing
after Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of
Midian. And the princes of Succoth 6
said, ^Are the hands of Zebah and Zal-
munna now in thine hand, that we
should give bread unto thine army?
And Gideon said, Therefore when the ^
Lord hath delivered Zebah and Zal-
munna into mine hand, 'then I will
•tear your flesh with the thorns of the
wilderness and with briers. And he 8
went up thence to JPenuel, and spake
unto them likewise: and the men of
Penuel answered him as the men of
Succoth had answered him. And he 9
spake also unto the men of Penuel,
saying, i^When I come again in peace,
'I will break down this tower. Now 10
Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor,
and their hosts with them, about fifteen
thousand men, all that were left of "'all
the hosts of "the children of the east:
for there fell 'an hundred and twenty
II thousand men that drew sword. And
Gideon wtent up by the way of them
that dwelt in tents on the east of
"Nobah and Jogbehah, and smote the
12 host: for the host was Psecure. And
when Zebah and Zalmunna fled, he pur-
sued after them, and itook the two
kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna,
and 'discomfited all the host.
13 And Gideon the son of Joash re-
turned from battle before the sun was
14 up, and caught a young man of the men
of Succoth, and inquired of him : and he
'described unto him the princes of Suc-
coth, and the elders thereof, even three-
15 score and seventeen men. And he
came unto the men of Succoth, and
said. Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, with
whom ye did upbraid me, saying, ''Are
the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now
in thine hand, that we should give bread
16 unto thy men that «;■(' weary? ■'And he
took the elders of the city, and thorns
of the wilderness and briers, and with
them he 'taught the men of Succoth.
17* And he beat down the tower of Pe-
nuel, and slew the men of the city.
18 Then said he unto Zebah and Zal-
munna, What manner of men were they
whom ye slew at 'Tabor? And they
answered, As thou art, so were they;
each one 'resembled the children of a
19 king. And he said. They 'uvre my bre-
thren, a'en the sons of my mother: ^as
the Lord liveth, if ye had saved them
20 alive, I would not slay you. And he
said unto Jether his firstborn. Up, and
slay them. But die youth drew not
his sword: for he feared, because he
21 7vas yet a youth. Then Zebah and
Zalmunna said. Rise thou, and fall
upon us: for as the man is, so is his
strength. And Gideon arose, and "slew
Zebah and Zalmunna, and took away
the "ornaments that were on their ca-
mels' necks.
22 Then the men of Israel said unto Gi-
deon, Rule thou over us, both thou, and
thy son, and thy son's son also : for
thou hast delivered us from the hand of
23 Midian. And Gideon said unto them, I
will not rule over you, neither shall my
son rule over you: "the Lord shall rule
24 over you. And Gideon said unto them,

of Gideon.

Shechem all these words: and their
hearts inclined 'to follow Abimelech; for
4 they said. He is our = brother. And they
gave him threescore and ten pieces of sil-
ver out of the house of fEaal-berith,
wherewith Abimelech hired Evain and
5 ''light persons, which followed him. And
he went unto his father's house 'at Oph-
rah, and 'slew his brethren the sons of
Jembbaal, being threescore and ten per-
sons, upon one stone : notwithstanding
yet Jotham the youngest son of Jerub-
6 baal was left; for he hid himself. And
all ''the men of Shechem gathered to-
gether, and all ''the house of Millo, and
went, and made Abimelech king, 'by
the plain of 'the pillar that was in She-
chem.
7 And when they told // to Jotham, he
went and stood in the top of "'mount
Gerizim, and lift up his voice, and cried,
and said unto them, Hearken unto me,
you ''men of Shechem, that God may
8 hearken unto you. "The trees went
forth on a time to anoint a king over
them; and they said unto the olive tree,
9° Reign thou over us. But the olive tree
said unto them, Should I leave my fat-
ness, Pwherewith by me they honour
God and man, and 'go to be promoted
10 over the trees? And the trees said to
the tig tree. Come thou, and reign over
11 us. But the fig tree said unto them.
Should I forsake my sweetness, and my
good fruit, and go to be promoted over
12 the trees? Then said the trees unto the
vine. Come thou, and reign over us.
13 And the vine said unto them, Should I
lea\e my wine, 'i which cheereth God
and man, and go to be promoted over
14 the trees? Then said all the trees unto
the 'bramble. Come thou, and reign
15 over us. And the bramble said unto
the trees. If in truth ye anoint me king
over you, then come and put your trust
in my 'shadow: and if not, Met fire
come out of the bramble, and devour
16 'the cedars of Lebanon. Now there-
fore, if ye have done "truly and sincere-
ly, in that ye have made Abimelech king,
and if ye have dealt well with Jerubbaal
and his house, and have done unto him
according to "the deserving of his hands ;
17 (for my father fought for you, and 'ad-
ventured his life far, and delivered you
18 out of the hand of Midian: and ye are
risen up against my lather's house this
day, and ^have slain his sons, three-
score and ten j)ersons, upon one stone,

and have made Abimelech, vthe son of
his maidservant, king over the men of
Shechem, ^because he is your brother;)
if ye then have dealt "truly and sincerely 19
with Jerubbaal and with his house this
day, t/iai ^'rejoice ye in Abimelech, and
let him also rejoice in you: but if not, 20
■"let fire come out from Abimelech, and
devour 'the men of Shechem, and the
house of Millo; and let fire come out
from the men of Shechem, and from the
house of Millo, and devour Abimelech.
And Jotham ran away, and fled, and 21
went to "^ Beer, and dwelt there, for fear
of Abimelech his brother.
When Abimelech had reigned three 22
years over Israel, then =God sent an evil 23
.spirit between Abimelech and the men
of Shechem; and the men of Shechem
fdealt treacherously with Abimelech :
sthat the cruelty done to the threescore 2,1
and ten sons of Jerubbaal might come,
and their blood be laid upon Abimelech
their brother, which slew them; and
upon the men of Shechem, which 'aided
him in the killing of his brethren. And =5
the men of Shechem set liers in wait for
him in the top of the mountains, and
they robbed all that came along that
way by them: and it was told Abime-
lech. And Gaal the son of Ebed came 26
with his brethren, and went over to She-
chem: and the men of Shechem put
their confidence in him. And they went 27
out info the fields, and gathered their
vineyards, and trode the grapes, and
made 'merry, and went info ''the house
of their god, and did eat and drink, and
cursed Abimelech. And Gaal the son 2S
of Ebed said, '^\^lo is Abimelech, and
who is Shechem, that we should serve
him? is not /te the son of Jerubbaal?
and Zebul his officer? serve the men of
' Hamor the father of Shechem : for why
should we serve him? And ''would 1029
(iod this people were under my hand ;
then would I remove Abimelech. And
he said to Abimelech, Increase thine
army, and come out. And when Zebul 30
the ruler of the city heard the words of
Gaal the son of Ebed, his anger was
"kindled. And he sent messengers unto 31
Abimelech 'privily, saying, Behold, Gaal
the son of Ebed and his brethren be
come to Shechem ; and behold, they for-
tify the city against thee. Now therefore 32
up by night, thou and the people that is
with thee, and lie in wait in the field :
and it shall be, that in the morning, as 33

mayest thou do to them 'as thou shalt \'^J^)^„j

son of Ebed went out, and stood /;/ the f """p- ,
Lev. 25. 20

melech rose up, and the people that
36 lucre with him, from lying in wait. And
when Gaal saw the people, he said to
Zebul, Behold, there come people down
from 'the top of the mountains. And ' ver. 7, 25.
Zebul said unto him. Thou seest the
shadow of the mountains as if they were
37 men. And Gaal spake again and said,
See there come people down by the
'middle of the land, and another com
pany come along by "'the plain of 'Meo
33 nenim. Then said Zebul unto him, marg.
\\'here is now thy mouth, wherewith n-ga'd^rs
thou saidst, "Who « Abimelech, that we "^ '''""■
should ser\'e him? is not this the people 18. 14.
that thou hast despised? go out, I pray
39 now, and fight with them. And CJaal
went out before the men of Shechem,
40 and fought with Abimelech. And Abi-
melech chased him, and he fled before
him, and many were overthrown and
wounded, ei'cn unto the entering of the
41 gate. And Abimelech dwelt at Aru-
mah : and Zebul thrust out Gaal and his
brethren, that they should not dwell in
42 Shechem. And it came to pass on the
morrow, that the people went out into the
43 field; and they told Abimelech. And
he took the people, and divided them
into three companies, and laid wait in
the field, and looked, and behold, the
])eople 7C'ere come forth out of the city;
and he rose up against them, and smote
44 them. And Abimelech, and the com-
])any that was with him, "rushed for-
ward, and stood in the entering of the
gate of the city : and the two other com-
panies °ran upon all the people that 7iwc
45 in the fields, and slew them. And Abi-
melech fought against the city all that
day ; and he took the city, and slew the
people that ivas therein, and Pbeat down \ yI^^^i.^^.

gathered together. And Abimelech gat 48
him up to mount "Zaimon, he and all
the people that were with him ; and Abi-
melech took an axe in his hand, and cut
down a bough from the trees, and took
it, and laid it on his shoulder, and said
unto the people that 7vei-e with him,
What ye have seen 'me do, make haste,
and do as I have done. And all the peo- 49
pie likewise cut down every man his
bough, and followed Abimelech, and put
them to the ^hold, and set the hold on
fire upon them ; so that all the men of
the '^ tower of Shechem died also, about
a thousand men and women.
Then went Abimelech to Thebez, and 50
encamped against Thebez, and took it.
But there was a strong tower within the 51
city, and thither fled all the men and
women, and all they of the city, and
-''shut /'/ to them, and gat them up to
the top of the tower. And Abimelech 52
came unto the tower, and fought against
it, and went hard unto the door of the
tower to burn it with fire. And a cer-s3
tain woman >'cast a Apiece of a *mill-
stone upon Abimelech's head, and all
to brake his skull. Then ''he called 54
hastily unto the young man his armour-
bearer, and said unto him. Draw thy
sword, and slay me, that men say not of
me, A woman slew him. And his young
man thnist him through, and he died.
And when the men of Israel saw that 55
Abimelech was dead, they departed
every man unto his place. "^Thus God 56
rendered the wickedness of Abimelech,
which he did unto his father, in slaying
his seventy brethren: and all the evil of 57
the men of Shechem did God render
upon their heads: and upon them came
"'the curse of Jotham the son of Jerub-
baal.
And after Abimelech there arose to
'defend Israel Tola the son of Puah,
the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar;
and he dwelt in Shamir in Amount
Ephraim. And he judged Israel twenty 2
and three years, and died, and was
buried in Shamir.
And after him arose Jair, a Gileadite, 3
and judged Israel twenty and two years.
And he had thirty sons that ''rode on 4
thirty ass colts, and they had thirty
cities, "^which are called ' Havoth-jair
unto this day, which are in the land of
Gilead. And Jair died, and was buried 5
in Camon.
And ''the children of Israel did evil 6
again in the sight of the Lord, and
<= served Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and the
gods of Syria, and the gods of 'Zidon,
and the gods of Moab, and the gods of
the children of Ammon, and the gods of
the gPhihstines, and ''forsook the Lord,
7 and served not him. And the anger of
the Lord was hot against Israel, and
he 'sold them into the hands of the
Philistines, and into the hands of Uhe
8 children of Ammon. And '' that year
they 'vexed and 'oppressed the children
of Israel: eighteen years, all the children
of Israel that were on the other side
Jordan in the land of the Amorites,
9 which is in Gilead. Moreover 'the chil-
dren of Ammon passed over Jordan to
fight also against Judah, and against
Benjamin, and against the house of
Ephraim; ""so that Israel was sore dis-
10 tressed. "And the children of Israel
cried unto the Lord, saying, We have
sinned against thee, both because ''we
have forsaken our God, and also ser\'ed
11 Baalim. And the Lord said unto the
children of Israel, Did not I delii'er you
from ° the Egyptians, and from p the
Amorites, from <ithe children of Am-
i2mon, and from ''the Philistines? The
Zidonians also, and '^ the Amalekites,
and 'the Maonites, "did oppress you;
and ye cried to me, and I delivered you
13 out of their hand. Yet "ye have for-
saken me, and served other gods : where-
14 fore I will deliver you no more. Go
and "cry unto the gods which ye have
chosen; let them deliver you in the
15 time of your tribulation. And the chil-
dren of Israel said unto the Lord, We
have sinned: do thou unto us whatso-
ever 'seemeth good unto thee; deliver
16 us only, we pray thee, this day. And
they put away the 'strange gods from
among them, and served the Lord: ^and
his soul ^'was grieved for the misery of
17 Israel. Then the children of Ammon
were 'gathered together, and encamped
in Gilead. And the children of Israel
assembled themselves together, and en-
18 camped in "Mizpeh. And the people
and princes of Gilead said one to an-
other, What man is he that will begin to
fight against the children of Ammon?
the shall be head over all the inhabit-
ants of Gilead.
Now "Jephthah the Gileadite was "a
mighty man of valour, and he was the
son of 'a harlot: and Gilead begat Jeph-

thah. And Gilead's wi^e bare him sons ;
and /us wife's sons grew up, and they
thrust out Jephthah, and said unto him,
Thou shak not inherit in our father's
house; for thou art the son of a strange
woman. Then Jephth.-ih fled 'from his
brethren, and dwelt in the land of ''Tob:
and there were gathered <^vain men to
Jephthah, and went out with him. And
it came to pass 'in process of time, that
the children of Ammon made war a-
gainst Israel. And it was so, that when
the children of Amnion made war against
Israel, ''the elders of Gilead went to
fetch Jephthah out of the land of ''Tob:
and they said unto Jephthah, Come,
and be our captain, that we may fight
witli the children of Ammon. And
Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead,
"=Did not ye hate me, and expel me out
of my father's house? and why are ye
come unto me now when ye are in
distress? And the elders of Gilead said
unto Jephthah, Therefore we turn again
to thee now, that thou mayest go with
us, and fight against the children of
Ammon, and be ''our head over all the
inhabitants of Gilead. And Jephthah .
said unto the elders of Gilead, If ye
bring me /t-wtf again to fight against the
children of Ammon, and the Lord de-
liver them before mc, shall I be your
head? And the elders of Gilead said i.
unto Jephthah, The Lord 'be witness
between us, ^if we do not so according
to thy words. Then Jephthah went i
with the elders of Gilead, and the peo-
ple made him ^head and captain over
them : and Jephthah uttered all his
words ^ before the Lord in ' Mizpeh.
And Jephthah sent messengers unto i
the king of the children of Ammon,
saying. What hast thou to do with me,
that thou art come against me to fight
in my land? And the king of the chil- 1
dren of Ammon answered unto the mes-
sengers of Jephthah, ''Because Israel
took away my land, when they came up
out of Egypt, from 'Arnon even unto
"Jabbok, and unto Jordan: now there-
fore restore those /a//ds again peace-
ably. And Jephthah sent messengers i
again unto the king of the children of
Amnion: and said unto him. Thus saith i
Jephthah, "Israel took not away the
land of Moab, nor the land of the chil-
dren of Ammon: but when Israel came i
up from Egypt, and walked through the
wilderness "unto the Red sea, and

saying, Let me, I pray thee, pass "'''
through thy land: ^but the king of [g^","^; =°-
Edom would not hearken thereto. And
in like manner they sent unto the king
of Moab: but he would not consent:
i3 and Israel ^abode in Kadesh.
they went along through the wilderness,
and 'compassed the land of Edom, and 'Num. 21. 4.

for Arnon was the border of Moab.

king of the Aniorites, the king of Hesh- Deut, 2. 26.

Israel delivered Sihon and all his peo-

Gilead and Manasseh, and passed over
Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of
Gilead he passed over unto the children
of Ammon. And Jephthah "vowed a 30
vow unto the Lord, and said, If thou
shalt without fail deliver the children of
Ammon into mine hands, then it shall 31
be, that 'whatsoever cometh forth of the
doors of my house to meet me, when I
return in peace from the children of
Ammon, "shall surely be the Lord's,
'°and I will offer it up y^r a burnt of-
fering. So Jephthah passed over unto 32
the children of Ammon to fight against
them; and the Lord delivered them
into his hands. And he smote them 33
from ' Aroer, even till thou come to
PMinnith, even twenty cities, and unto
"the plain of the vineyards, with a very
great slaughter. Thus the children of
Ammon were subdued before the chil-
dren of Israel.
And Jephthah came to 'i Mizpeh unto 34
his house, and behold, his daughter
came out ■'to meet him with Himbrels
and with dances: and she was his only
child; "beside her he had neither son
nor daughter. And it came to pass, 35
when he saw her, that he 'rent his
clothes, and said, Alas, my daughter,
thou hast brought me very low, and
thou art one of them that trouble me:
for I have opened my mouth unto the
Lord, and "I cannot go back. And 36
she said unto him. My father, if thou
hast opened thy mouth unto the Lord,
do to me according to that which hath
proceeded out of thy mouth ; forasmuch
as the Lord hath taken vengeance for
thee of thine enemies, even of the chil-
dren of Ammon. And she said unto 37
her father, Let this thing be done for
me: "let me alone two months, that I
may 'go up and down upon the moun-
tains, and bewail my virginity, I and
my fellows. And he said. Go. And 38
he sent her away for two months : and
she went with her companions, and be-
wailed her virginity upon the mountains.
And it came to pass at the end of two 39
months, that she returned unto her fa-
ther, who ydid with her according to his
vow which he had vowed: and she knew
no man. And it was a "custom in Is-
rael, that the daughters of Israel went 40
'yearly 'to lament the daughter of Jeph-
thah the Gileadite four days in a year.
And "the men of Ephraim 'gathered
themselves together, and went north-
ward, and said unto Jephthah, Where-
fore passedst thou over to fight against
the children of Ammon, and didst not
call us to go with thee? we will bum
2 thine house upon thee with fire. And
Jephthah said unto them, I and my jjeo-
ple were at great strife wdth the children
of Ammon; and when I called you, ye
dehvered me not out of their hands.
3 And when I saw that ye delivered me
not, I ''put my life in my hands, and
passed over against the children of Am-
mon, and the Lord delivered them into
my hand : wherefore then are ye come
up unto me this day, to fight against
4 me? Then Jephthah gathered together
all the men of Gilead, and fought with
Ephraim: and the men of Gilead smote
Ephraim, because they said, Ye Gilead-
ites '^are fugitives of Ephraim among
the Ephraimites, and among the Ma-
5 nassites. And the Gileadites took the
''passages of Jordan before the Ephraim-
ites: and it was so, that when those
Ephraimites which were escaped said,
Let me go over; that the men of Gilead
said unto him, Art thou an Ephraimite?
6 If he said, Nay ; then said they unto
him. Say now "Shibboleth: and he said
Sibboleth: for he could not frame to
pronounce it right. Then they took
him, and slew him at the passages of
Jordan : and there fell at that time of
the Ephraimites forty and two thou-
7 sand. And Jephthah judged Israel six
years. Then died Jephthah the Gilead-
ite, and was buried in one ofxkit cities of
Gilead.
8 And after him "Ibzan of «Beth-lehem
gjudged Israel. And he had thirty sons,
and thirty daughters, whom he sent
abroad, and took in thirty daughters
from abroad for his sons. And he
lojudged Israel seven years. Then died
Ibzan, and was buried at "= Beth-lehem.
11 And after him 'Elon, a Zebulonite,
judged Israel; and he judged Israel ten
12 years. And Elon the Zebulonite died,
and was buried in Aijalon in the coun-
try of Zebulun.
13 And after him "Abdon the son of
Hillel, a fPirathonite, judged Israel.
14 And he had forty sons and thirty ' ne-
phews, that Erode on threescore and ten
''ass colts: and he judged Israel eight
15 years. And Abdon the son of Hillel
the Pirathonite died, and was buried in
Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, 'in the
mount of the Amalekites.

And the children of Israel •''did evil
again in the sight of the Lord; 'and
the Lord delivered them •'into the hand
of the Philistines forty years. And there
was a certain man of "^Zorah, of the
family of the Danites, whose name 7vas
Manoah; and his wife 7C'as ''barren, and
bare not. And the "=angel of the Lord
appeared unto the woman, and said
unto her. Behold now, thou art barren,
and bearest not: but thou shall con-
ceive, and bear a son. Now therefore
beware, I pray thee, and fdrink not
wine nor strong drink, and eat not
any unclean thing: for lo, thou shalt
conceive, and bear a son; and no srasor
shall come on his head: for the child
shall be ''a Nazarite unto God from the
womb: and he shall 'begin to deliver
Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.
Then the woman came and told her
husband, saying, '>h man of God came
unto me, and his ''countenance was like
the countenance of an angel of God,
very terrible: but I 'asked him not
'whence he 7vas, neither told he me
""his name: but he said unto me, "Be-
hold, thou sha/t conceive, and bear a
son ; and now drink no wine nor strong
drink, neither eat any unclean t/ting: for
the child shall be a Nazarite to God
from the womb to the day of his death.
Then Manoah intreated the Lord, 8
and said, O my Lord, let the man of
God which thou didst send come again
unto us, and teach us what we shall
do unto the child that shall be bom.
And God hearkened to the voice of 9
Manoah; and the angel of God came
again unto the woman as she sat in the
field : but Manoah her husband 7C'as not
with her. And the woman made haste, 10
and ran, and shewed her husband, and
said unto him. Behold, the man hath
appeared unto me, that came unto me
the other day. And Manoah arose, and n
went after his wife, and came to the
man, and said unto him, Art thou the
man that spakest unto the woman?
And he said, I am. And Manoah said, 12
Now let thy words come to pass. 'How
shall we order the child, and '//C7i' shall
we do unto him? And the angel of the 13
Lord said unto Manoah, Of all that
I said unto the woman let her beware.
She may not eat of any thing that com- 14
eth of the vine, "neither let her drink
wine or strong drink, nor eat any un-
clean thine;: all that I commanded her
15 let her observe. And Manoah said unto
the angel of the Lord, I pray thee,
Plet us detain thee, until we shall have
16 made ready a kid *for thee. And the
angel of the Lord said unto Manoah,
Though thou detain me, I will not eat
of thy bread: and if thou wilt ofler a
burnt ofiering, thou must offer it unto
the Lord. For Manoah knew not that
17 he was an angel of the Lord. And
Manoah said unto the angel of the
Lord, iWhat is thy name, that when
thy sayings come to pass we may do
18 thee honour? And the angel of the
Lord said unto him, 'Why askest thou
thus after my name, seeing it is "secret?
19 So Manoah ^took a kid with 'a meat
offering, and offered it upon a rock
unto the Lord: and the angel did won-
drously; and Manoah and his wife look-
20 ed on. For it came to pass, "when the
flame went up toward heaven from off
the altar, that the angel of the Lord
ascended in the flame of the altar.
And Manoah and his wife looked on
it, and "fell on their faces to the ground.
21 But the angel of the Lord did no more
ap]5ear to Manoah and to his wife.
"Then Manoah knew that he 7C'as an
22 angel of the Lord. And Manoah said
unto his wife, vWe shall surely die,
23 because we have seen God. But his
wife said unto him, If the Lord were
pleased to kill us, he would not have
received ^a burnt ofiering and a meat
ofiering at our hands, neither would he
have shewed us all these things, nor
would as at this time have told us such
things as these.
24 And the woman bare a son, and
called his name ^ Samson : and i' the
child grew, and the Lord blessed him.
25'= And the spirit of the Lord began to
''move him at times in *the camp of
Dan, 'between Zorah and Eshtaol.
And Samson went down '^to Timnath,
and saw a woman in Timnath of the
2 daughters of the Philistines. And he
came up, and told his father and his
mother, and said, I have seen a woman
in Timnath of the daughters of the Phi-
listines: now therefore ''get her for me
3 to wife. Then his father and his mo-
ther said unto him. Is there never a
woman among the daughters of "^thy
brethren, or among all my people, that
thou goest to take a wife of the ''un-
circumcised Philistines? And Samson
said unto his father. Get her for me;

for *she pleaseth me well. But his fa- 4
ther and his mother knew not that it
teas =of the Lord, that he sought an
occasion against the Philistines: for at
that time ^the Philistines had dominion
over Israel. Then went Samson down, 5
and his father and his mother, to Tira-
nath, and came to the vineyards of
Timnath: and behold, sa young lion
roared 'against him. And ''the spirit 6
of the Lord came mightily upon him,
and he rent him as /i£ would have rent
a kid, and /le had nothing in his hand :
but he told not his father or his mother
what he had done. And he went down 7
and talked with the woman; and she
pleased Samson well.
And after a time he returned to take 8
her, and he turned aside to see the
carcase of the lion: and behold, there
7vas a swarm of bees and honey in the
carcase of the lion. And he took there- 9
of in his hands, and went on eating, and
came to his father and mother, and he
gave them, and they did eat: but he
told not them that he had taken the
honey out of the carcase of the lion.
So his father went down unto the wo- 10
man: and Samson made there a feast;
for so used the young men to do. And n
it came to pass, when they saw him,
that they brought thirty companions to
be with him. And Samson said unto 12
them, I will now 'put forth a riddle
unto you : if you can certainly declare it
me 7vithin ''the seven days of the feast,
and find // out, then I will give you
thirty "sheets and thirty 'change of gar-
ments: but if ye cannot declare // me, 13
then shall ye give me thirty "sheets and
thirty 'change of garments. And they
said unto him, Put forth thy riddle, that
we may hear it. And he said unto them, 14
Out of the eater came forth meat,
And out of the strong came forth
sweetness.
And they could not in three days ex-
pound the riddle. And it came to pass 15
on the seventh day, that they said unto
Samson's wife, ""Entice thy husband,
that he may declare unto us the riddle,
"lest we burn thee and thy father's
house with fire: have ye called us *to
take that we have? is it not so 2 And 16
Samson's wife wept before him, and
said, °Thou dost but hate me, and lov-
est me not : thou hast put forth a riddle
unto the cliildrcn of my people, and
hast not told // me. And he said unto
her, Behold, I have not told // my
father nor my mother, and shall I tell
IT it thee? And she wept before him "the
seven days, while their feast lasted : and
it came to pass on the seventh day, that
he told her, because Pshe lay sore upon
him: and she told the riddle to the
18 children of her people. And the men
of the city said unto him on the seventh
day before the sun went down.
What is sweeter than honey?
And what is stronger than a lion?
And he said unto them,
If )-e had not plowed with my lieifer.
Ye had not found out my riddle,
ig And ithe spirit of the Lord came upon
him, and he went down to ''Ashkelon,
and slew thirty men of them, and took
their "spoil, and gave 'change of gar-
ments unto them which e.xpounded the
riddle. And his anger was kindled,
and he went up to his father's house.
20 But Samson's wife ^was given to his com-
panion, whom he had 'used as his friend.
But it -came to pass within a while
after, in the time of wheat harvest, that
Samson visited his wife with ^a kid; and
he said, I will go in to my wife into
the chamber. But her father would not
2 suffer him to go in. And her father
said, I verily thought that thou hadst
utterly hated her; therefore I gave her
to thy companion : is not her younger
sister fairer than she? 'take her, I pray
3 thee, instead of her. And Samson said
concerning them, "Now shall I be more
blameless than the Philistines, though
4 I do them a displeasure. And Samson
went and caught three hundred foxes,
and took "firebrands, and turned tail to
tail, and put a firebrand in the midst
5 between two tails. And when he had
set the brands on fire, he let them go
into the standing corn of the Philistines,
and burnt up both ''the shocks, and
also ''the standing corn, with the vine-
6 yards (7;/(/ olives. Then the Philistines
said, AVho hath done this? And they
answered, Samson, the son in law of the
Timnite, because he had taken his wife,
and given her to his companion. And
the Philistines came up, and '^burnt her
7 and her father with fire. And Samson
said unto them. Though ye have done
this, yet will I be avenged of you, and
8 after that I will cease. And he smote
them hip and thigh with a great
slaughter: and he went down and dwelt
in ''the top of the rock ^Etam.

•"rulers over us? what is this that thou
hast done unto us? And he said unto
them. As they did unto me, so have I
done unto them. And they said unto 12
him, We are come down to bind thee,
that we may deliver thee into ihe hand
of the Philistines. And Samson said
unto them. Swear unto me, that ye will
not fall upon me yourselves. And they 13
spake unto him, saying. No; but we
will bind thee fast, and deliver thee
into their hand : but surely we will not
kill thee. And they bound him with
two 'new cords, and brought him up
from the rock. And when he came 14
unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted a-
gainst him: and Jthe spirit of the Lord
came mightily upon him, and 'the cords
that 7iierc upon his arms became as flax
that was burnt with fire, and his bands
Moosed from off his hands. And he 15
found a 'new jawbone of an ass, and
put forth his hand, and took it, and
''slew a thousand men therewith. And 16
Samson said.
With the jawbone of an ass, 'heaps
upon heaps,
With the jaw of an ass have I slain a
thousand men.
And it came to pass, when he had 17
made an end of speaking, that he cast
away the jawbone out of his hand, and
called that place "Ramath-lehi.
And he was sore athirst, and called is
on the Lord, and said. Thou hast given
this great deliverance into the hand of
thy servant: and now shall I die for
thirst, and fall into the hand of the
uncircumcised? But God clave 'a hoi- 19
low place that was in "the jaw, and
there came water thereout; and when
he had drunk, "'his spirit came again,
and he revived : wherefore he called the
name thereof "En-hakkore, which is in
Lehi unto this day. "And he judged 20
Israel "in the days of the Philistines
twenty years.
Then went Samson to ^Gaza, and
saw there 'a harlot, and went in unto
2 her. Aiid it 7cias told the Gazites, say-
ing, Samson is come hither. And they
''compassed hitn in, and laid wait for
him all night in the gate of the city,
and were 'quiet all the night, saying,
In the morning, when it is day, we
3 shall kill him. And Samson lay till
midnight, and arose at midnight, and
took the doors of the gate of the city,
and the two posts, and went away with
them, 'bar and all, and put than upon
his shoulders, and carried them up to
the top of a hill that is before Hebron.
4 And it came to pass afterward, that
he loved a woman "in the valley of
s'^Sorek, whose name 'a'as Delilah. And
''the lords of the Philistines came up
unto her, and said unto her, "= Entice
him, and see wherein his great strength
licth, and by what means we may pre-
vail against him, that we may bind him
to "afllict him: and we will give thee
every one of us eleven hundred pieces of
6 silver. And Delilah said to Samson,
Tell me, I pray thee, wherein thy great
strength licth., and wherewith thou might-
7 est be bound to afflict thee. And Sam-
son said unto her, If they bind me with
seven " green withs that were never
dried, then shall I be weak, and be as
8 'another man. Then the lords of the
Philistines brought up to her seven
'green withs which had not been dried,
9 and she bound him with them. Now
there iL<cre men lying in wait, abiding
with her in the chamber. And she said
unto him, The Philistines be upon thee,
Samson. And he brake the withs, as a
thread of tow is broken when it 'touch-
eth the fire. So his strength was not
10 known. And Delilah said unto Sam-
son, Behold, thou hast mocked me, and
told me lies : now tell me, I pray thee,
11 wherewith thou mightest be bound. And
he said unto her. If they bind me fast
with fnew ropes 'that never were occu-
pied, sthen shall I be weak, and be as
12 another man. Delilah therefore took
fnew ropes, and bound him therewith,
and said unto him, The Philistines be up-
on thee, Samson. And there were liers in
wait abiding in the chamber. And he
brake them fromoft" his arms like a thread.
13 And Delilah said unto Samson, Hither-
to thou hast mocked me, and told me
lies : tell me wherewitli thou mightest be
bound. And he said unto her. If thou
wea%-est the seven locks of my head with

pin, and said unto him, The Philistines
be upon thee, Samson. And he awaked
out of his sleep, and went away with the
pin of the beam, and with the web.
And she said unto him, 'How canst 15
thou say, I love thee, when thine heart
is not with me? thou hast mocked me
these three times, and hast not told me
wherein thy great strength Heth. And 16
it came to pass, when she impressed him
daily with her words, and urged him, so
that his soul was *ve.xed unto death;
that he told her all his heart, and said 17
unto her, 'There hath not come a rasor
upon mine head ; for I have been a Naza-
rite unto God from my mother's womb :
if I be shaven, then my strength will go
from me, and I shall become weak, and
be like any other man. And when De- 18
lilah saw that he had told her all his
heart, she sent and called for the lords
of the Philistines, saying. Come up this
once, for he hath shewed me all his
heart. Then the lords of the Philistines
came up unto her, and brought ™money
in their hand. And she made him sleep 19
upon her knees; and she called for a
man, and she caused him to shave off
the seven locks of his head ; and she be-
gan to "afflict him, and his strength
went from him. And she said, The 20
Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And
he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I
will go out as at other times before^ and
°shake myself. And he wist not that
Pthe Lord was departed from him. But 21
the Philistines took him, and *put out
his eyes, and brouglit him down to Gaza,
and ibound him with fetters of brass;
and 'he did grind in the prison house.
Howbeit the hair of his head began to 22
grow again "after he was shaven.
Then the lords of the Philistines ga-23
thered them together for to offer a great
sacrifice unto '^Dagon their god, and to
rejoice: for they said, Our god hath de-
livered Samson our enemy into our
hand. And when the people saw him, 24
they 'praised their god: for they said.
Our god hath delivered into our hands
our enemy, and the destroyer of our
country, * which slew many of us. And 25
it came to pass, when their hearts were
"merry, tliat they said. Call for Samson,
that he may make us sport. And they
called for Samson out of the prison
house; and he made 'them sport: and
they set him between the pillars. And 26
Samson said unto the lad that held him
by the hand. Suffer me that I may feel
the pillars whereupon the house stand-
27 eth, that I may lean upon them. Now
the house was full (i/men and women;
and all the lords of the Philistines were
there; and there were upon the roof
about three thousand men and women,
that beheld while Samson made sport.
28 And Samson called unto the Lord, and
said, O Lord God, "remember me, I
pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray
thee, only this once, O God, that I may
be at once avenged of the Philistines for
2gmy two eyes. And Samson -"<took hold
of the two middle pillars upon which the
house stood, and "on which it was borne
up, of the one with his right hand, and
30 of the other with his left. And Samson
said. Let ' me die with the Philistines.
And he bowed himself \\\\\\ all his might;
and the house fell upon the lords, and
upon all the people that were therein.
So the dead which he slew at his death
were moe than they which he slew in
31 his life. Then his brethren and all the
house of his father came down, and took
him, and brought him up, and buried
him V between Zorah and Eshtaol in the
buryingplace of Manoah his father. And
^he judged Israel twenty years.
And there was a man of ^mount E-
2 phraim, whose name was ''Micah. And
he said unto his mother. The eleven
hundred shekels of silver that were taken
from thee, about which thou cursedst,
and spakest of also in mine ears, be-
hold, the silver is with me; I took it.
And his mother said, '^Blessed be thou of
3 the Lord, my son. And when he had
restored the eleven hundred shekels of
silver to his mother, his mother said, I
had wholly dedicated the silver unto the
Lord from my hand for my son, to
make ''a graven image and "=a molten
image: now therefore I will restore it
4 unto thee. Yet he restored the money
unto his mother; and his mother took
two hundred shekels of silver, and gave
them to fthe founder, who made thereof
''a graven image and =a molten image :
and they were in the house of ''Micah.
5 And the man Micah had a house of gods,
and made an sephod, and ''teraphim,
and 'consecrated one of his sons, who
6 became his priest. In 'those days there
was no king in Israel, '^biit every man
did that which was right in his own eyes.

'Beth-lehem-judah of the family of Ju-
dah, who ^i'as a Levite, and he sojourned
there. And the man departed out of 8
the city from Beth-lehem-judah to sojourn
where he could find a place: and he
came to * mount Ephraim to the house
of Micah, 'as he journeyed. And Mi- 9
cah said unto him, Whence comest thou?
And he said unto him, I am a Levite of
Beth-lehem-judah, and I go to sojourn
where I may find a place. And Micah 10
said unto him, Dwell with me, ""and be
unto me a "father and a priest, and I
will give thee ten shekels of silver by
°the year, and "a suit of apparel, and
thy victuals. So the Levite went in.
And the Levite Pwas content to dwell n
with the man ; and the young man was
unto him as one of his sons. And Micah 12
iconsecrated the Levite; and the young
man ■'became his priest, and was in the
house of Micah. Then said Micah, Now 13
know I that the Lord will do me good,
seeing I have a Levite to my priest.
In ^^ those days there was no king in
Israel : and in those days ''the tribe of
the Danites sought them an inheritance
to dwell in; for unto that day all their
inheritance had not fallen unto them
among the tribes of Israel. And the 2
children of Dan sent of their family five
men from their coasts, *men of valour,
from '^Zorah and from Eshtaol, ''to spy
out the land, and to search it; and they
said unto them. Go, search the land:
who when they came ''to mount Eph-
raim, to the house of Micah, they lodged
there. When they were by the house of 3
Micah, they knew the voice of the young
man the Levite: and they turned in
thither, and said unto him. Who brought
thee hither? and what makest thou in this
place? and what hast thou here? And 4
he said unto them. Thus and thus deal-
eth Micah with me, and hath ""hired me,
and I am his priest. And they said 5
unto him, ^Ask coiitisel, we pray thee,
''of God, that we may know whether our
way which we go shall be prosperous.
And the priest said unto them, 'Go in 6
peace: before the Lord is your way
wherein ye go. Then the five men de- ^
parted, and came to • Laish, and saw the
people that ivere therein, how they dwelt
careless, after the manner of the Zido-
nians, ''quiet and secure; and there was
no 'magistrate in the land, that might
put them to shame in any thing; and
they were far from the Zidonians, and
shad no business with any man. And
they came unto their brethren to 'Zorah
and Eshtaol: and their brethren said
9 unto them, What say ye? And they
said, "'Arise, that we may go up against
them : for we have seen the land, and
behold, it /> very good: and areyt "still?
be not slothful to go, and to enter to
10 possess the land. When ye go, ye shall
come unto a people "secure, and to a
large land: for God hath given it into
your hands; Pa place where thet-e is no
want of any thing that is in the earth.
11 And there went from thence of the
family of the Danites, out of 'Zorah
and out of Eshtaol, si-\ hundred men
12 'appointed with weapons of war. And
they went up, and pitched in "iKirjath-
jearim, in Judah: wherefore they called
that place ■'Mahaneh-dan unto this day:
behold, it is ^ behind Kirjath-jearim.
13 And they passed thence unto 'mount
Ephraim, and came unto the house of
14 Micah. Then "answered the five men
that went to spy out the country of
Laish, and said unto their brethren. Do
ye know that "there is in these houses
an ephod, and teraphim, and a graven
image, and a molten image? now there-
15 fore consider what ye have to do. And
they turned thitherward, and came to
the house of the young man the Levite,
even unto the house of Micah, and 'sa-
16 luted him. And the vsix hundred men
appointed 'with their weapons of war,
which 7vere of the children of Dan, stood
17 by the entering of the gate. And ^the
five men that went to spy out the land
went up, and came in thither, and took
"the graven image, and the ephod, and
the teraphim, and the molten image:
and the priest stood in the entering of
the gate with the si.x: hundred men that
were appointed with v^'eapons of war.
iS And these went into Micah's house, and
fetched the carved image, the ephod,
and the teraphim, and the molten image.
Then said the priest unto them, What
19 do ye? And they said unto him. Hold
thy peace, ''lay thine hand upon thy
mouth, and go with us, "^and be to us a
father and a priest : is it better for thee
to be a priest unto the house of one
man, or that thou be a priest unto a
20 tribe and a family in Israel? And the
priest's ''heart was glad, and he took the
ephod, and the teraphim, and the graven
image, and went in the midst of the peo-
21 pie. So they turned and departed, and

8 therefore he lodged there again. And
he arose early in the morning on the
fifth day to depart : and the damsel's fa-
ther said. Comfort thine heart, I pray
thee. And they f tarried 'until afternoon,
9 and they did eat both of them. And
when the man rose up to depart, he,
and his concubine, and his servant, his
father in law, the damsel's father, said
unto him. Behold now, the day 'draweth
towards evening, I pray you tarry all
night: behold, 'the day groweth to an
end, lodge here, that thine heart may be
merry ; and to morrow get you early on
your way, that thou mayest go 'home.
10 But the man would not tarry that night,
but he rose up and departed, and came
'over against sjebus, which is Jerusa-
lem ; and there were with him two asses
saddled, his concubine also was with
11 him. And when they were by Jehus,
the day was far spent ; and the servant
said unto his master. Come, I pray thee,
and let us turn in into this city of the
i2jebusites, and lodge in it. And his
master said unto him. We will not turn
aside hither into the city of a stranger,
that is not of the children of Israel; we
13 will pass over to ''Gibeah. And he said
unto his servant. Come, and let us draw
near to one of these places to lodge all
14 night, in Gibeah, or in 'Ramah. And
they passed on and went their way; and
the suu went down upon them when
they were by Gibeah, M-hich bchngcth to

to go in and to lodge in Gibeah: and

Street of the city : for there was no man
that took ^them into his house to lodg-
ing.
And behold, there came an old man i6
from his work out of the field at even,
which was also of 'mount Ephraim; and
he sojourned in Gibeah: but the men of
the place zwn' -i Benjamites. And when i?
he had lift up his eyes, he saw a way-
faring man in the street of the city: and
the old man said, Whither goest thou?
and whence comest thou.'' And he said is
unto him, We are passing from Beth-le-
hem-judah toward the side of mount
Ephraim; from thence am I : and I went
to Beth-lehem-judah, but I am nno going
to ''the house of the Lord; and there is
no man that 'receiveth me to house.
Yet 'there is both straw and provender ly
for our asses; and there is bread and
wine also for me, and for thy handmaid,
and for the young man which is with
thy ser\'ants: there is ""no want of any
thing. And the old man said, "Peace 20
be with thee; howsoever let all thy wants
lie upon me; only °lodge not in the
street. So he brought him into his 21
house, and gave provender unto the
asses: and Pthey washed their feet, and
did eat and drink. Nmi.' as they were 22
making their hearts merry, behold, the
men of the city, certain ^sons of Belial,
beset the house round about, and beat
at the door, and spake to the master of
the house, the old man, saying, 'Bring
forth the man that came into thine
house, that we may know him. And 23
the man, the master of the house, went
out unto them, and said unto them,
^Nay, my brethren, 7iay, I pray you, do
not so wickedly ; seeing that this man is
come into mine house, 'do not this
folly. " Behold, here is my daughter a 24
maiden, and his concubine; them I will
bring out now, and "humble ye them,
and do with them "what seemeth good
unto you: but unto this man do not 'so
vile a thing. But the men would not 25
hearken to him: so the man took his
concubine, and brought her forth unto
them; and they knew her, and ^'abused
her all the night until the morning: and
when the day began to spring, they let
her go. Then came the woman ^in the 26
dawning of the day, and fell down at
the door of the man's house where her
lord was, till it was light. And her 27
lord rose up in the morning, and opened
the doors of the house, and went out to
go his way : and behold, the woman his
concubine was fallen down at the door
of the house, and her hands 7i'ere upon
=sthe ^threshold. And he said unto her, " See isai. 6.

to all the folly that they have wrought
in Israel. So all the men of Israel were n
gathered against the city, 'knit together
as one man.
And '"the tribes of Israel sent men 12
through all the tribe of Benjamin, say-
ing. What wickedness is this that is
done among you? Now therefore de-13
liver us the men, "the children of Belial,
which arc in Gibeah, that we may put
them to death, and "put away evil from
Israel. But the children of Benjamin
would not hearken to the voice of their
brethren the children of Israel : but the 14
children of Benjamin gathered them-
selves together out of the cities unto
Gibeah, to go out to battle against the
children of Israel. And the children of 15
Benjamin were numbered at that time
out of the cities p twenty and six thou-
sand men ^that drew sword, beside the
inhabitants of Gibeah, ivhich were num-
bered seven hundred chosen men. A- 16
mong all this people there were seven
hundred chosen men ilefthanded; every
one could sling stones at a hair breadth,
and not miss. And the men of Israel, 17
beside Benjamin, were numbered ■'four
hundred thousand men that "^drew sword :
all these were men of war.
And the children of Israel arose, and 18
^went up to the house of God, and
'asked counsel of God, and said, \A'hich
of us shall go up first to the battle against
the children of Benjamin ? And the Lord
said, "Judah shall go up first. And the 19
children of I.srael rose up in the morn-
ing, and encamped against Gibeah. And 20
the men of Israel went out to battle
against Benjamin ; and the men of Israel
put themselves in array to fight against
them at Gibeah. And the children of 21
Benjamin came forth out of Gibeah, and
destroyed down to the ground of the Is-
raelites that day twenty and two thou-
sand men. And the people the men of 22
Israel encouraged themselves, and set
their battle again in array in the place
where they put themselves in array the
first day. (And the children of Israel 23
'went up and wept before the Lord un-
til even, and asked counsel of the Lord,
saying, Shall I go up again to battle
against the children of Benjamin my
brother? And the Lord said. Go up
against him.) And the children of Is- 24
rael came near against the children of
Benjamin the second day. And Benja-25
mln went forth against them out of Gi-
beah the second day, and destroyed
down to the ground of the children of
Israel again eighteen thousand men; all
26 these "^drew the sword. Then all the
children of Israel, and all the people,
"■went up, and came unto the house of
God, and wept, and sat there before the
Lord, and fasted that day until even,
and offered burnt offerings and peace
27 offerings before the Lord. And the
children of Israel inquired of the Lord,
(for "the ark of the covenant of God
^iwas there in those days, and yPhinehas,
the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron,
^ stood before it in those days,) saying.
Shall I yet again go out to battle against
the children of Benjamin my brother, or
shall I cease? And the Lord said. Go
up; for to morrow I will deliver them
29 into thine hand. And Israel ^set liers
30 in wait round about Gibeah. And the
children of Israel went up against the
children of Benjamin on the third day,
and put themselves in array against Gi-
31 beah, as at other times. And the chil-
dren of Benjamin went out against the
people, and were drawn away from the
city; and they began 'to smite of the
people, and kill, as at other times, in
the highways, ()/" which one goeth up to
"the house of God, and the other to Gi-
beah in the field, about thirty men of
32 Israel. And the children of Benjamin
said. They are smitten down before us,
''as at the first. But the children of Is-
rael said. Let us flee, and draw them
33 from the city unto the highways. And
all the men of Israel rose up out of
their place, and put themselves in array
at Baal-tamar: and the liers in wait of
Israel came forth out of their places,
ei<en out of the meadows of Gibeah.
34 And there came against Gibeah ten
thousand chosen men out of all Israel,
and the battle was sore: "^but they knew
35 not that evil was near them. And the
Lord smote Benjamin before Israel:
and the children of Israel destroyed of
the Benjamites that day twenty and five
thousand and an hundred men: all
these drew the sword.
36 So the children of Benjamin saw that
they were smitten: for the men of Israel
gave place to the Benjamites, because
they trusted unto the liers in wait which
37 they had set beside Gibeah. ''And the
liers in wait hasted, and "= rushed upon
Gibeah; and the liers in wait 'drew
themselves along, and smote all the city

with the edge of the sword. Now there 38
was an appointed 'sign between the
men of Israel 'and the hers in wait,
that they should make a great 'flame
with smoke rise up out of the city.
fAnd when the men of Israel retired in 39
the battle, Benjamin began 'to smite
and kill of the men of Israel about
thirty persons : for they said. Surely
they are smitten down before us, as in
the first battle. But when the sflame4o
began to arise up out of the city with a
pillar of smoke, the Benjamites ''looked
behind them, and behold, 'the flame of
the city ascended up to heaven. And 41
when the men of Israel turned again, the
men of Benjamin were amazed: for they
saw that evil 'was come upon them.
Therefore they turned their backs before 42
the men of Israel unto 'the way of the
wilderness ; but the battle overtook them;
and them which came out of the cities
they destroyed in the midst of them.
Thus they ''inclosed the Benjamites 43
round about, and chased them, and trode
them down 'with ease 'over against Gi-
beah toward the sunrising. And there 44
fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men ;
all these ivere men of valour. And they 45
turned and fled toward 'the wilderness
unto the rock of 'Rimmon: and they
■"gleaned of them in the highways five
thousand men; and pursued hard after
them unto Gidom, and slew two thou-
sand men of them. So that all which 46
fell that day of Benjamin were "twenty
and five thousand men that drew the
sword; all these ivcre men of valour.
"But six hundred men turned and fled 47
to 'the wilderness unto the rock Rim-
mon, and abode in the rock Rimmon
four months. And the men of Israel 48
turned again upon the children of Ben-
jamin, and smote them with the edge of
the sword, as well the men of ei<ery city,
as the beast, and all that 'came to hand:
also they set on fire all the cities that
'they came to.
Now the men of Israel had sworn in
='Mizpeh, saying, There shall not any of
us give his daughter unto Benjamin to
wife. And the people came '^to the 2
house of God, and abode there till even
before God, and lift up their voices,
and wept sore; and said, O Lord God 3
of Israel, why is this come to pass in
Israel, that there should be to day one
tribe lacking in Israel? And it came to 4
pass on the morrow, that the people
rose early, and "^ built there an altar, and
offered burnt offerings and peace offer-
5 ings. And the children of Israel said,
Who is there among all the tribes of Is-
rael that came not up with the congre-
gation unto the Lord? For they had
made a great oath concerning him ''that
came not up to the Lord to Mizpeh,
saying, He shall surely be put to death.
6 And the children of Israel repented them
for Benjamin their brother, and said.
There is one tribe cut otf from Israel
7 this day. How shall we do for wives for
them that remain, seeing we have sworn
by the Lord that we will not give them
of our daughters to wives? And they
8 said. What one is there of the tribes of
Israel that came not up to Mizpeh to
the Lord? And behold, there came
none to the camp from 'Jabesh-gilead
9 to the assembly. For the people were
numbered, and behold, there 'were none
of the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead there.
10 And the congregation sent thither twelve
thousand men of the valiantest, and
commanded them, saying, ^Go and smite
the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead with the
edge of the sword, with the women and
11 the children. And this is the thing that
ye shall do, sYe shall utterly destroy
every male, and every woman that 'hath
12 lien by man. And they found among
the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead four
hundred 'young virgins, that had known
no man by lying with any male: and
they brought them unto the camp to
''Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.
13 And the whole congregation sent some
'to speak to the children of Benjamin
'that 'were in the rock Rimmon, and to
14 'call peaceably unto them. And Ben-
jamin came again at that time; and
they gave them wives which they had
saved alive of the women of Jabesh-
gilead: and yet so they 'sufliced them
■snot. And the people ■'repented them
for Benjamin, because that the Lord
had made a breach in the tribes of
Israel.
16 Then the elders of the congregation
said, 'How shall we do for wives for
them that remain, seeing the women are
17 destroyed out of Benjamin? And they
said. There must be an inheritance for
them that be escaped of Benjamin, that
a tribe be not destroyed out of Israel.
is Howbeit we may not give them wives
of our daughters: "for the children of
Israel have sworn, saying, Cursed he he

said. Behold, f/icrc is a feast of the Lord
in Shiloh 'yearly hi a place which is on
the north side of "Beth-el, 'on the east
side "of the "highway that goeth up from
"Beth-el to PShechem, and on the south
of Lebonah. Therefore they command- 2
ed the children of Benjamin, saying, Go
and lie in wait in the vineyards; and 2
see, and behold, if the daughters of Shi-
loh come out to dance in 1 dances, then
come ye out of the vineyards, and catch
you every man his wife of the daughters
of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benja-
min. And it shall be, when their fathers =
or their brethren come unto us to com-
plain, that we will say unto them, "Be
favourable unto them for our sakes: be-
cause we reserve<l not to each man his
wife in the war : for ye did not give unto
them at tiiis time, t/iat you should be

did so, and took tkcni wives, according
to their number, of them that danced,
whom they caught: and they went and
returned unto their inheritance, and "■ re-
paired the cities, and dwelt in them.
24 And the children of Israel departed
thence at that time, every man to his
tribe and to his family, and they went
out from thence every man to his inhe- '

tain man of <^Beth-lehem-judah went to
sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and
his wife, and his two sons. And the :
name of the man 7i'as Ehmelech, and
the name of his wife Naomi, and the
name of his two sons Mahlon and Chi-
lion, '•Ephrathites of Beth-lehem-judah.
And they came '^into the country of
Moab, and 'continued there. And Eli- :
melech Naomi's husband died; and she
was left, and her two sons. And they .
took them wives of the women of Moab ;
the name of the one loas Orpah, and
the name of the other Ruth : and they
dwelled there about ten years. And
Mahlon and Chilion died also both of
them; and the woman was left of her
two sons and her husband.
Then she arose with her daughters in
law, that she might return from the coun-
try of Moab: for she had heard in the
country of Moab how that the Lord
had fyisited his people in sgiving them
bread. Wherefore she went forth out of
the place where she was, and her two
daughters in law with her; and they
went on the way to return unto the land
of Judah. And Naomi said unto her
two daughters in law, Go, return each
to her mother's house: the Lord ''deal
kindly with you, as ye have dealt with
'the dead, and with me. The Lord
grant you that you may find ''rest, each
of you in the house of her husband.
Then she kissed them; and they lift
up their voice, and wept. And they i
said unto her. Surely we will return with
thee unto thy people. And Naomi said, :
Turn again, my daughters: why will you
go with me? are there yet any tnoe sons
in my womb, 'that they may be your
12 husbands? Turn again, my daughters,
go your loay; for I am too old to have
a husband. If I should say, I have
hope, '//" I should have a husband also
to night, and should also bear sons;
13 would ye 'tarry for them till they were
grown? would ye stay for them from
having husbands? nay, my daughters;
for 'it grieveth me much for your sakes
that "the hand of the Lord is gone out
14 against me. And they lift up their
voice, and wept again : and Orpah kiss-
ed her mother in law; but Ruth clave
15 unto her. And she said, Eehold, thy
sister in law is gone back unto her peo-
ple, and unto her gods: "return thou
i'5 after thy sister in law. And Ruth said,
'Intreat me not to leave thee, or to re-
turn from following after thee-: for whi-
ther thou goest, I will go; and where
thou lodgest, I will lodge: °thy people
shall be my people, and thy God my
17 God: where thou diest, will I die, and
there will I be buried: Pthe Lord do so
to me, and more also, if ought but death
ispart thee and me. iWhen she saw that
she 'n'(7j' stedfastly minded to go with
her, then she left speaking unto her.
19 So they two went until they came to
Beth-lehem. And it came to pass, when
they were come to Beth-lehem, that ''all
the city was moved about them, and
20 they said. Is this Naomi? And she said
unto them. Call me not " Naomi, call me
'Mara: for ^the Almighty hath dealt
21 very bitterly with me. I went out full,
■and the Lord hath brought me home-
again empty: why then call ye; me Na-
omi, seeing the Lord hath testified a-
gainst me, and the Almighty hath afflict-
22 ed me? So Naomi returned, and Ruth
the Moabitess, her daughter in law, with

her, which returned out of the country
of Moab: and they came to Beth-lehem
"in the beginning of barley harvest.
And Naomi had a ^kinsman of her
husband's, a mighty man of wealth, of
the family of Elimelech; and his name
ivas ''•Boaz. And Ruth the Moabitess
said unto Naomi, Let me now go to the
field, and '^ glean ears of corn after him
in whose sight I shall find grace. And
she said unto her. Go, my daughter.
And she went, and came, and gleaned
in the field after the reapers: and her
*hap was to light on a part of the field
belonging unto Boaz, who ii.<as of the kin-
dred of Elimelech. And behold, Boaz
came from Beth-lehem, and said unto
the reapers, ''The Lord be with you.
And they answered him. The Lord
bless thee. Then said Boaz unto his
servant that was set over the reapers,
Whose damsel is this? And the servant
that was set over the reapers answered
and said, It is the Moabitish damsel
"^that came back with Naomi out of the
country of Moab: and she said, I pray
you, let me glean and gather after the
reapers amongst the sheaves : so she
came, and hath continued even from the
morning until now, that she tarried a little
in the house.
Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest
thou not, my daughter? Go not to
glean in another field, neither go from
hence, but abide here fast by my
maidens: Id thine eyes be on the field
that they do reap, and go thou after
them: have I not charged the young
men that they shall not touch thee? and
when thou art athirst, go unto the ves-
sels, and drink of that which the young
men have drawn. Then she Tell on her 10
face, and bowed herself to the ground,
and said unto him. Why have I found
grace in thine eyes, that thou shouldest
take knowledge of me, seeing I am a
stranger? And Boaz answered and said n
unto her, It hath fully been shewed me.
Sail that thou hast done unto thy mother
in law since the death of thine husband:
and ho7t' thou hast left thy father and
thy mother, and the land of thy nativity,
and art come unto a people which thou
knewest not heretofore. '^The Lord 12
recompanse thy work, and a full reward
be given thee of the Lord God of Is-
rael, 'under whose wings thou art come
to trust. Then she said, "^Let me find 13
favour in thy sight, my lord; for that
thou hast comforted me, and for that
thou hast spoken 'friendly unto thine
handmaid, 'though I be not like unto
H one of thy handmaidens. And Boaz
said unto her, At mealtime come thou
hither, and eat of the bread, and dip
thy morsel in "the vinegar. And she
sat beside the reapers: and he reached
her parched coi-ti^ and she did eat, and
15 "was sufficed, and left. And when she
was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded
his young men, saying, Let her glean
even among the sheaves, and 'reproach
16 her not: and let fall also some of the
handfuls of purpose for her, and leave
thon, that she may glean ///(■;//, and re-
17 buke her not. So she gleaned in the
field until even, and beat out that she
had gleaned: and it was about an °ephah
18 of barley. And she took it up, and
went into the city: and her mother in
law saw what she had gleaned : and she
brought forth, and gave to her Pthat she
had reserved after she was sufficed.
19 And her mother in law said unto her,
Where hast thou gleaned to day? and
where wroughtest thou? blessed be he
that did itake knowledge of thee. And
she shewed her mother in law with
whom she had wrought, and said, The
man's name with whom I wTOught to
20 day is Boaz. And Naomi said unto her
daughter in law, ■■ Blessed be he of the
Lord, who hath not left off" his kindness
^to the living and to the dead. And
Naomi said unto her. The man is near
of kin unto us, 'one of our next kins-
2j men. And Ruth the Moabitess said.
He said unto me also, Thou shalt keep
fast by 'my young men, until they have
2= ended all my harvest. And Naomi said
unto Ruth her daughter in law, Jt is
good, my daughter, that thou go out
with 'his maidens, that they "meet thee
23 not in any other field. So she kept fast
by the maidens of Boaz to glean unto
the end of barley harvest and of wheat
har\-est ; and dwelt wth her mother in law.
Then Naomi her mother in law said
unto her. My daughter, shall I not seek
"rest for thee, that it may be well with
2 thee? And now is not Boaz of our
''kindred, "^wth whose maidens thou
wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to
anight in the threshingfloor. Wash thy-
sclf therefore, and '' anoint thee, and
put thy raiment upon thee, and get thee

it shall be, when he lieth down, that
thou shalt mark the place where he
shall lie, and thou shalt go in, and
"uncover his feet, and lay thee down;
and he will tell thee what thou shalt do.
And she said unto her, All that thou s
sayest unto me I will do. And she 6
went down 7iiito the floor, and did ac-
cording to all that her mother in law
bade her. And when Boaz had eaten 7
and dnmk, and =his heart was merry,
he went to lie down at the end of the
heap of corn: and ^she came softly, and
uncovered his feet, and laid her down.
And it came to pass at midnight, that 8
the man w\as afraid, and 'turned him-
self: and behold, a woman lay at his
feet. And he said. Who ati thou? And 9
she answered, 1 am Ruth thine hand-
maid: sspread therefore thy skirt over
thine handmaid; for thou art 'a near
kinsman. And he said, *> Blessed be^o
thou of the Lord, my daughter: for
thou hast shewed more kindness in the
latter end than 'at the beginning, inas-
much as t/iou followedst not young men,
whether poor or rich. And now, my n
daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all
that thou requirest: for all the 'city of
my people doth know that thou art ^a.
virtuous woman. And now it is true 12
that I am thy 'near kinsman: howbeit
■"there is a kinsman nearer than I.
Tarry this night, and it shall be in the 13
morning, that if he will "perform unto
thee the part of a kinsman, well; let
him do the kinsman's part: but if he
v.'ill not do the part of a kinsman to
thee, then will I do the part of a kins-
man to thee, °<?j- the Lord liveth: lie
down until the morning. And she Play 14
at his feet until the morning: and she
rose up before one could know another.
And he said, Let it not be known that
a woman came into the floor. Also he 15
said, Bring the 'vail that thou hast upon
thee, and hold it. And when she held
it, he measured six measures of barley,
and laid // on her: and he went itito
the city. And when she came to her 16
mother in law, she said. Who art thou,
my daughter? And she told her all that
the man had done to her. And she ^^
said. These six measures of barley gave
he me ; for he said to me. Go not empty
unto thy mother in law. Then said 18
she, iSit still, my daughter, until thou
know how the matter will fall: for the
man will not be in rest, until he have
finished the thing this day.
Then went Boaz up to ^the gate, and IV.
sat him down there: and behold, ''the \^^^;^
kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by; !> ch.'a. 12.'
unto \\hom he said. Ho, such a one,
turn aside, six down here. And he turn-
2ed aside, and sat down. And he took
ten men of "^the elders of the city, and " Comp-
said, Sit ye down here. And they sat ' ^'"' "' ^'
3 down. And he said unto the kinsman,
Naomi, that is come again out of the
country of Moab, selleth a parcel of
land, which 7i'as our brother Elimelech's:
4 and ' I thought to advertise thee, say- t Heb.

wilt not redeem //, then tell me, that I \^^^y''"'-
may know: for there is none to redeem "Gen.^a. 18

5 And he said, I will redeem it. Then
said Boaz, What day thou buyest the
field of the hand of Naomi, thou must
buy it also of Ruth the Moabitess, the
wife of the dead, fto raise up the name ^y^^- 1°-
6 of the dead upon his inheritance, s And See Deut.
the kinsman said, I cannot redeem it l^^^- ^^
for myself, lest I mar mine own inhe- 13-
ritance : redeem thou my right to thyself;
7 for I cannot redeem it. ''Now this li'as
the manner in former time in Israel
concerning redeeming and concerning
'changing, for to confinn all things; a
man plucked off his shoe, and gave //
to his neighbour: and this 2vas a testi-
8 mony in Israel. Therefore the kinsman
said unto Boaz, Buy // for thee. So he
9 drew off his shoe. And Boaz said unto

NOW there was a certain man of Ra-
mathaim-zophim, of => mount E-
phraim, and his name was ''Elkanah,
the son of Jeroham, the son of Ehhu,
the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, "^an
Ephrathite; and he had two wives; the
name of the one was Hannah, and the
name of the other Peninnah: and Pe-
ninnah had children, but '' Hannah had
no children. And this man went up
out of his city =* yearly fto worship and
to sacrifice unto the Lord of hosts in
s Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli,
Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of
the Lord, were there. And when the
'time was that Elkanah offered, '' he gave
to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons
and her daughters, portions : but unto
Hannah he gave 'a worthy portion; for
he loved Hannah: but the Lord had
shut up her womb. And her adversary i
also 'provoked her sore, 'for to make
her fret, because the Lord had shut up
her womb. And as he did so year by
year, 'when she went up to the house of
the Lord, so she provoked her; there-
fore she wept, and did not eat. Tlien !
said Elkanah her husband to her, Han-
nah, why weepest thou? and why eatest
thou not? and why is thy heart grieved?
am not I J better to thee than ten sons?
So Hannah rose up after they had <
eaten in sShiloh, and after they had
drunk. Now Eli the priest sat upon
a seat by a post of ''the temple of the
Lord. And she was "in bitterness of i<
soul, and prayed unto the Lord, and
wept sore. And she "vowed a vow, i:
and said, O Lord of hosts, if thou wilt
indeed "look on the affliction of thine
handmaid, and "remember me, and not
forget thine handmaid, but wilt give
unto thine handmaid 'a man child, then
I will give him unto the Lord all the
days of his life, and Pthere shall no
12 rasor come upon his head. And it
came to pass, as she 'continued praying
before the Lord, that Eli marked her
13 mouth. Now Hannah, she spake in
her heart; only her lips moved, but her
voice was ^ not heard : therefore Eli
14 thought she had been drunken. And
Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou
be drunken? put away thy wine from
15 thee. And Hannah answered and said,
No, my lord, I am a woman 'of a sor-
rowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine
nor strong drink, but have "Jpoured out
16 my soul before the Lord. Count not
thine handmaid for a daughter of ■'Be-
lial: for out of the abundance of my
' complaint and grief have I spoken
17 hitherto. Then Eli answered and said,
'Go in peace: and 'the God of Israel
grant thee thy petition that thou hast
18 asked of him. And she said, " Let
thine handmaid find grace in thy sight.
So the woman ^went her way, and did
cat, and her countenance was no more
igsad. And they rose up in the morning
early, and worshipped before the Lord,
and returned, and came to their house
to >Ramah: and Elkanah knew Han-
nah his wife; and ^the Lord remem-
sobered her. Wherefore it came to pass,
'when the time was come about after
Hannah had conceived, that she' bare
a son, and called his name 'Samuel,
'^saying, Because I have asked him of

the Lord 'visited Hannah, so that she
conceived, and bare three sons and two
daughters. And the child Samuel "'grew
before the Lord. Now Eli was very 22
old, and heard all that his sons "did
unto all Israel; and how they lay with
the women that * assembled at the door
of the tabernacle of the congregation.
And he said unto them, Why do ye such 23
things? for 'I hear of your evil dealings
by all this people. Nay, my sons; for 24
/'/ is no good report that I hear: ye
make the Lord's people "to transgress.
If one man sin against another, "the 25
judge shall judge him: but if a man
sin against the Lord, who shall intreat
for him? Notwithstanding they heark-
ened not unto the voice of their father,
Pbecause the Lord would slay them.
And the child Samuel igrew on, and 26
was ■'in favour both with the Lord, and
also with men.
^And there came a man of God unto 27
Eli, and said unto him. Thus saith the
Lord, 'Did I plainly appear unto the
house of thy father, when they were in
Eg)'pt in Pharaoh's house? And did I 28
"choose him out of all the tribes of
Israel to be my priest, to offer upon
mine altar, to burn incense, to "wear an
ephod before me? and "did I give unto
the house of thy father all the offerings
made by fire of the children of Israel?
Wherefore >'kick ye at my sacrifice and 29
at mine offering, which I have com-
manded i/i my ^habitation; and honour-
est thy sons above me, to make your-
selves fat with the chiefest of all the
ofiferings of Israel my people? Where- 30
fore the Lord God of Israel saith, *I
said indeed f/mt thy house, and the
house of thy father, should walk before
me for ever: but now the Lord saith,
''Be it far from me; for them that honour
me "^I will honour, and ''they that de-
spise me shall be lightly esteemed. Be- 31
hold, "^the days come, that I will cut off
thine ann, and the arm of thy father's
house, that there shall not be an old
man in thine house. And thou shalt 32
see "an enemy in my habitation, in all
the 7oea/th which God shall give Israel:
and there shall not be fan old man in
thine house for ever. And the man of 33
thine, 'w/unn I shall not cut off from
mine altar, shall be to consume thine
eyes, and to grieve thine heart : and all
the increase of thine house shall die 'in
the flower of their age. And this shall ^
be sa sign unto thee, that shall come
upon thy two sons, on Hophni and
Phinehas; ''in one day they shall die
35 both of them. And ' I will raise me up
a faithful priest, that shall do according
to that which is in my heart and in
my mind : and '^ I will build him a sure
house; and he shall walk before 'mine
36 anointed for ever. And it shall come
to pass, that every one that is left in
thine house shall come and crouch to
him for a piece of silver and "'a morsel
of bread, and shall say, 'Put me, I pray
thee, into "one of the priests' offices, that
/ may eat a piece of bread.
And ^the child Samuel ministered
unto the Lord before Eli. And ''the
word of the Lord was precious in those
2 days; there was no open vision. And
it came to pass at that time, when Eli
was laid down in his place, '^and his
eyes began to wax dim, that he could
3 not see; and ere ''the lamp of God went
out "=in the temple of the Lord, where
the ark of God 7i'as, and Samuel was
4 laid down to sleep; that the Lord called
Samuel: and he answered. Here am I.
5 And he ran unto Eli, and said. Here am
I; for thou calledst me. And he said,
I called not; lie down again. And he
6 went and lay down. And the Lord
called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel
arose and went to Eli, and said. Here
am I; for thou didst call me. And he
answered, I called not, my son ; lie down
7 again. 'Now Samuel did not yet know
the Lord, neither was the word of the
8 Lord yet revealed unto him. And the
Lord called Samuel again the third
time. And he arose and went to Eli,
and said, Here am I; for thou didst call
me. And Eli perceived that the Lord
9 had called the child. Therefore Eli
said unto Samuel, Go, lie down : and
it shall be, if he call thee, that thou
shalt say, Speak, Lord; for thy servant
heareth. So Samuel went and lay down
10 in his place. And the Lord came, and
stood, and called as at other times,
Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answer-
11 ed. Speak ; for thy servant heareth. And
the Lord said to Samuel, Behold, I will
do a thing in Israel, ^at which both the
ears of every one that heareth it shall
12 tingle. In that day I will perform
against Eli sail things which I have
spoken concerning his house: 'when I
13 begin, I will also make an end. "sFor
I have told him that I will ''judge his

knoweth; because 'his sons made them-
selves 'vile, and he "'restrained them
not. And therefore I have sworn unto 14
the house of Eli, that 'the iniquity of
Eli's house shall not be purged with
sacrifice nor oftering for ever. And 15
Samuel lay until the morning, and open-
ed the doors of the house of the Lord.
And Samuel feared to shew Eli the
vision. Then Eli called Samuel, and 16
said, Samuel, my son. And he answer-
ed, Here am L And he said, What is 17
the thing that the Lord hath said unto
thee? I pray thee hide it not from me:
God do so to thee, and *more also, if
thou hide any " thing from me of all the
things that he said unto thee. And is
Samuel told him 'every whit, and hid
nothing from him. And he said, ™It is
the Lord : let him do what seemeth him
good.
And Samuel "grew, and °the Lord 19
was with him, and Pdid let none of his
words fall to the ground. And all Is- 20
rael ifrom Dan even to Beer-sheba
knew that Samuel was "established to
be a prophet of the Lord. And the =1
Lord appeared again in ■'Shiloh: for
the Lord revealed himself to Samuel
in Shiloh ''by the word of the Lord.
And the word of Samuel "came to all
Israel.
Now Israel went out against the Phi-
listines to battle, and pitched beside
^Eben-ezer: and the Philistines pitched
in ''Aphek. And the Philistines put 2
themselves in aiTay against Israel : and
when *they joined battle, Israel was
smitten before the Philistines: and they
slew of *the army in the field about four
thousand men. And when the people 3
were come into the camp, the elders of
Israel said. Wherefore hath the Lord
smitten us to day before the Philistines?
'^Let us 'fetch the ark of the covenant
of the Lord out of ''Shiloh unto us,
that when it cometh among us, it may
save us out of the hand of our enemies.
So the people sent to ''Shiloh, that they 4
might bring from thence the ark of the
covenant of the Lord of hosts, 'which
dwelleth between the cherubims: and the
two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas,
were there with the ark of the covenant
of God. And when the ark of the 5
covenarit of the Lord came into the
camp, all Israel f shouted 7inth a great
shout, so that the earth Srang again.

7 was come into the camp. And the
Philistines were afraid, for they said,

vered: and when she heard the tidings
that the ark of God was taken, and that
her father in law and her husband were
dead, she bowed herself and travailed;
for her pains 'came upon her. And 2
about the time of her death the women
that stood by her said tinto her, ''Fear
not; for thou hast born a son. But she
answered not, ' neither did she regard //.
And she named the child ' ^ Ichabod, 2
saying. The 'glor)' is departed from Is-
rael : because the ark of God was taken,
and because of her father in law and
her husband. And she said. The glory 2
is departed from Israel : for the ark of
God is taken.
And the Philistines took the ark of
God, and brought it from ^Eben-ezer
unto ''Ashdod. AVhen the Philistines ;
took the ark of God, they brought it
i?tto the house of "^Dagon, and set it
by Dagon. And when they of Ashdod ;
arose early on the morrow, behold,
Dagon was ^ fallen upon his face to
the earth before the ark of the Lord.
And they took Dagon, and set him in
his place again. And when they arose .
early on the morrow morning, behold,
Dagon 7Lias fallen upon his face to the
ground before the ark of the Lord;
and '^the head of Dagon and both the
palms of his hands were cut off upon
the threshold; only '^the stump (?/" Dagon
was left to him. Therefore neither the i
priests of Dagon, nor any that come into
Dagon's house, tread on the fthreshold
of Dagon in Ashdod unto this day.
But sthe hand of the Lord was heavy (
upon them of Ashdod, and he *> destroy-
ed them, and smote them with 'emerods,
even Ashdod and the coasts thereof.
And when the men of Ashdod saw that ;
if was so, they said. The ark of the God
of Israel shall not abide with us: for
his hand is sore upon us, and upon
Dagon our god. They sent therefore ;
and gathered all the ' lords of the Phi-
listines unto them, and said. What shall
we do with the ark of the God of Is-
rael? And they answered. Let the ark
of the God of Israel be carried about
tmto ''Gath. And they carried the ark
of the God of Israel about thither. And <
it was so, that after they had carried it
about, 'the hand of the Lord was against
the city ™7c,V// a very great destruction:
and he smote the men of the city, both
small and great, and they had emerods
in their secret parts. Therefore they i
sent the ark of God to ° Ekron. And
it came to pass, as the ark of God came
/() " Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out,
saying. They have brought about the
ark of the God of Israel to 'us, to slay
11 us and our people. So they sent and
gathered together all the J lords of the
Philistines, and said. Send away the ark
of the God of Israel, and let it go again
to his own place, that it slay *us not,
and our people: for there was a deadly
destruction throughout all the city; °the
12 hand of God was very hea\'y there. And
the men that died not were smitten with
the emerods: and the cry of the city
went up to heaven.
And the ark of the Lord was in the
country of the Philistines seven months.
2 And the Philistines called for the priests
and the ^diviners, saying. What shall we
do to the ark of the Lord? tell us where-
3 with we shall send it to his place. And
they said, If ye send away the ark of the
God of Israel, send it not •'empty; but
in any wise return him "^a trespass offer-
ing: then ye shall be healed, and it shall
''be known to you why his hand is not
4 removed from you. Then said they,
\\'hat shall be the trespass oflering which
we shall return to him? They answered.
Five golden emerods, and five golden
^mice, ^according to the number of the
lords of the Philistines: for one plague
was on 'you all, and on your lords.
s Wherefore ye shall make images of your
emerods, and images of your mice that
6mar the land; and ye shall ''give glory
unto the God of Israel : peradventure he
will 'lighten his hand from oft" you, and
from off 'your gods, and from off your
eland. Wherefore then do ye harden
your hearts, ''as the Egyptians and Pha-
raoh hardened their hearts? when he had
wrought 'wonderfully among them, 'did
they not let 'the people go, and they de-
7 parted? Now therefore make "'a new
cart, and take two milch kine, "on which
there hath come no yoke, and tie the
kine to the cart, and bring their calves
8 home from them: and take the ark of
the Lord, and lay it upon the cart; and
put "the jewels of gold, which ye return
him for a trespass offering, in a cofter
by the side thereof; and send it away,
9 that it may go. And see, if it goeth
up by the way of his own coast to PBeth-
shemesh, then "he hath done us this
great evil: but if not, then iwe shall
know that // is not his hand that smote

And the men did so; and took two lo
milch kine, and tied them to the cart,
and shut up their calves at home: and n
they laid the ark of the Lord upon the
cart, and the cotter with the mice of
gold and the images of their emerods.
And the kine took the straight way to 12
the way of PBeth-shemesh, and went
along the ''highway, lowing as they went,
and turned not aside to the right hand
or /() the left ; and the lords of the Phi-
listines went after them unto the border
of Beth-shemesh. And they of Beth-she- 13
mesh 7C'cre reaping their wheat harvest
in the valley: and they lifted up their
eyes, and saw the ark, and rejoiced to
see /'/. And the cart came into the field 14
of Joshua, a Beth-shemite, and stood
there, where there 7vas a great stone :
and they clave the wood of the cart,
and offered the kine a burnt offering
unto the Lord. And the ''Levites took 15
down the ark of the Lord, and the cof-
fer that was with it, wherein the jewels
of gold 7iiere, and put them on the great
stone : and the men of Beth-shemesh of-
fered burnt offerings and sacrificed sacri-
fices the same day unto the Lord. And 16
when 'the five lords of the Philistines
had seen //, they returned to "Ekron the
same day. And these arc the golden 17
emerods which the Philistines returned
for a trespass offering unto the Lord;
for ''Ashdod one, for "Gaza one, for "As-
kelon one, for >Gath one, for "Ekron
one; and the golden mice, according to li
the number of all the cities of the Phi-
listines Moiiging to the five lords, both of
fenced cities, and of ^country villages,
even unto the 'great stone of ^Abel,
whereon they set down the ark of the
Lord: which stone remaineth unto this
day in the field of Joshua, the Beth-
shemite.
And •'he smote the men of Beth-she- 19
mesh, because they had looked into the
ark of the Lord, even he smote of the
people fifty thousand and threescore and
ten men: and the people ^lamented, be-
cause the Lord had smitten many of the
people li'ith a great slaughter. And the 20
men of Beth-shemesh said, "^Who is able
to stand before this ""holy Lord God?
and to whom shall he go up from us?

2 And it came to pass, while the ark
abode in Kirjath-jearim, that the time
was long : for it was twenty years : and
all the house of Israel lamented after co^mp'

of the Lord was against the Philistines
all the days of Samuel. And the cities 14
■which the Philistines had taken from Is-
rael were restored to Israel, from "^ Ekron
even unto vGatn; and the coasts thereof
did Israel deliver out of the hands of the
Philistines. And there was peace be-
tween Israel and the ^Amorites. And 15
Samuel ^judged Israel all the days of his
life. And he went from year to year *in 16
circuit /^ ''Beth-el, and <^Gilgal, and <'Miz-
peh, and judged Israel in all those
places. And his return was to ^ Ramah ; 17
for there was his house; and there he
judged Israel; and there he 'built an
altar unto the Lord.
And it came to pass, when Samuel
was old, that he ^made his ''sons judges
over Israel. Now the name of his first- 2
born was 'Joel; and the name of his
second, Abiah: they avnr judges in "^Beer-
sheba. And his sons walked not in his 3
ways, but turned aside ''after lucre, and
^took bribes, and perverted judgment.
Then all the elders of Israel gathered 4
themselves together, and came to Samuel
unto fRamah, and said unto him. Be- 5
hold, thou art old, and thy .sons walk
not in thy ways: now smake us a king
to judge us like all the nations. But the 6
thing 'displeased Samuel, when they said,
Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel
prayed unto the Lord. And the Lord 7
said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the
voice of the people in all that they say
unto thee: for ''they have not rejected
thee, but 'they have rejected me, that /
should not reign over them. According 8
to all the works which they have done
since the day that I brought them up
out of Egypt even unto this day, where-
with they have forsaken me, and served
other gods, so do they also unto thee.
Now therefore "hearken unto their voice: 9
'howbeit yet protest solemnly unto them,
and ' shew them the manner of the king
that shall reign over them.
And Samuel told all the words of the 10
Lord unto the people that asked of him
a king. And he said, '^This will be then
manner of the king that shall reign over
you: 'He will take your sons, and ap-
point them for himself, for his chariots,
and to be his horsemen; and some shall
run before his chariots. And he will ap- 12
point him captains over thousands, and
captains over fifties ; and wiN set them to
""ear his ground, and to reap his harvest,
and to make his instruments of war, and
13 instruments of his chariots. And he will
take your daughters to be "confectio-
naries, and to be cooks, and to be bak-
i4ers. And °he will take your fields, and
your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even
the best of them, and gi\ e them to his
15 servants. Aiid he will take the tenth of
your seed, and of your vineyards, and
give to his 'officers, and to his servants.
16 And he w-ill take your menservants, and
your maidser\'ants, and your goodliest
young men, and your asses, and put
\jthem to his work. He will t.ake the
tenth of your sheep : and ye shall be his
18 serv^ants. And ye shall cry out in that
day because of your king which ye shall
have chosen you; and the Lord Pwill
not hear you in that day.
19 Nevertheless the people refused to
obey the voice of Samuel; and they said,
Nay, but we will have a king over us;
20 that we also may be "ilike all the na-
tions; and that our king may judge us,
and go out before us, and fight our bat-
II ties. And Samuel heard all the words
of the people, and he rehearsed them in
22 the ears of the Lord. And the Lord
said to Samuel, ■■ Hearken unto their
voice, and make them a king. And Sa-
muel said unto the men of Israel, Go ye
every man unto his city.
Now there was a man of Benjamin,
whose name was *Kish, the son of
Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Be-
chorath, the son of Aphiah, 'a Benja-
2 mite, a mighty man of 'power. And he
had a son, whose name rvas .Saul, ''a
choice young man, and a goodly: and
there 7i'as not among the children of Is-
rael a goodlier person than he: "^from
his shoulders and upward he rcas higher
3 than any of the people. And the asses
of Kish Saul's father were lost. And
Kish said to Saul his son. Take now
one of the servants with thee, and arise,
4 go seek the asses. .^nd he passed
through ''mount Ephraim, and passed
through the land of "^Shalisha, but they
found them not : then they passed through
the land of fShalim, and there they were
not: and he passed through the land of
the Benjamites, but they found them not.
5 And when they were come to the land
of gZuph, Saul said to his servant that
7vas with him. Come, and let us return ;
lest my father leave caring for the asses,
6 and •'take thought for us. And he said
unto him. Behold now, there is in this
city 'a man of God, and he is an honour-

another carrying three loaves of bread,
and another carrying a bottle of wine :
and they will 'salute thee, and give thee 4
two loaves of bread; which thou shalt
receive of their hands. After that thou 5
shalt come to ''the hill of God, where is
the 'garrison of the Philistines: and it
shall come to pass, when thou art come
thither to the city, that thou shalt meet
a company of prophets coming down
■^from the high place with a psaltery,
and a 'tabret, and a pipe, and a 'harp,
before them; and they shall prophesy:
and "the spirit of the Lord will come 6
upon thee, and "thou shalt prophesy
with them, and shalt be turned into an-
other man. 'And let it be, when these 7
"signs are come unto thee, ''that thou do
as occasion serve thee; for PGod is with
thee. And thou shalt go down before 8
me 1/(7 Gilgal; and behold, I will come
down unto thee, to offer burnt offerings,
and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offer-
ings : ■'seven days shalt thou tarry, till I
come to thee, and shew thee what thou
shalt do.
And it was so, that when he had 9
turned his 'back to go from Samuel,
God 'gave him another heart: and all
those signs came to pass that day. And 10
^when they came thither to the hill, be-
hold, 'a company of prophets met him;
and "the spirit of God came upon him,
and he prophesied among them. And n
it came to pass, when all that knew him
beforetime saw that behold, he prophe-
sied among the prophets, then the peo-
ple said 'one to another, What is this
that is come unto the son of Kish? '/c
Saul also among the prophets? And 12
one 'of the same place answered and
said, But "who is their father? There-
fore it became a proverb, "Is Saul also
among the prophets? And when he 13
had made an end of prophesying, he
came to the high place. And -''Saul's 14
uncle said unto him and to'his servant,
Whither went ye? And he said. To
seek the asses: and when we saw that
they were no where, we came to Samuel.
And Saul's uncle said. Tell me, I pray 15
thee, what Samuel said unto you. And 16
Saul said unto his uncle, He told us
plainly that 5' the asses were found. But
of the matter of the kingdom, whereof
Samuel spake, he told him not.
And Samuel called the people to- 17
gether ^unto the Lord to ^Mizpeh; and is
said unto the children of Israel, ''Thus
saith the Lord God of Israel, I brought
up Israel out of Egypt, and delivered
you out of the hand of the Eg}'ptians,
and out of the hand of all kingdoms,
i<)and of them that oppressed you: 'and
ye ha\'e this day rejected your God, who
himself saved' you out of all your adver-
sities and your tribulations; and ye have
said unto him, iVay, but set a king over
us. Now therefore ''present yourselves
before the Lord by your tribes, and by
20 your thousands. And when Samuel had
"= caused all the tribes of Israel to come
near, the tribe of Benjamin was taken.
21 When he had caused the tribe of Benja-
min to come near by their families, the
family of Matri was taken, and Saul the
son of Kish was taken: and when they
sought him, he could not be found.
22 Therefore they ^inquired of the Lord fur-
ther, if the man should yet come thither.
And the Lord answered, Behold, he
23 hath hid himself among the stuff. And
they ran and fetched him thence: and
when he stood among the people, she
was higher than any of the people from
24 his shoulders and upward. And Samuel
said to all the people, See ye him ''whom
the Lord hath chosen, that t/iere is none
like him among all the people? And all
the people shouted, and said, 'God save
25 the king. Then Samuel told the people
■the manner of the kingdom, and wrote
it in a book, and laid // up before the
Lord. And Samuel sent all the people
:6away, every man to his house. And
Saul also went home to •'Gibeah; and
there went with him a band of men,
27 whose hearts God had touched. 'But
the "children of Belial said. How shall
this man save us? And they despised
him, and brought him no "presents. But
'he held his peace.
Then Nahash the "Ammonite came
up, and encamped against ''Jabesh-gi-
lead: and all the men of Jabesh said
unto Nahash, <= Make a covenant with
2 us, and we will serve thee. And Na-
hash the Ammonite answered them. On
this condition will I make ^a covenant with
you, that / may ^thrust out all your
right eyes, and lay it for fa reproach
3 upon all Israel. And the elders of Ja-
besh said unto him, 'Give us seven
days' respite, that we may send mes-
sengers unto all the coasts of Israel:
and then, if t/ierc be no man to save us,
4 we will come out to thee. Then came

the messengers to sGibeah of Saul, and
told the tidings in the ears of the peo-
ple: and ''all the people lift up their
voices, and wept. And behold, Saul 5
came after the herd out of the field;
and Saul said, What aileth the people
that they weep? And they told him the
tidings of the men of Jabesh. And 'the 6
spirit of God came upon Saul when he
heard those tidings, and his anger was
kindled greatly. And he took a yoke 7
of oxen, and Shewed them in pieces,
and sent them throughout all the coasts
of Israel by the hands of messengers,
saying, ''Whosoever cometh not forth
after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it
be done unto his oxen. And the fear
of the Lord fell on the people, and
they came out 'with one consent. And 8
when he numbered them in 'Bezek, ""the
children of Israel were tliree hundred
thousand, and the men of Judah thirty
thousand. And they .said unto the mes- 9
sengers that came, Thus shall ye say
unto the men of Jabesh-gilead, To mor-
row, by that time the sun be hot, ye
shall have 'help. And the messengers
came and shewed it to the men of Ja-
besh ; and they were glad. Therefore 10
the men of Jabesh said. To morrow "we
will come out unto you, and ye shall do
with us all that seemeth good unto you.
And it was so on the morrow, that n
"Saul put the people p/« three com-
panies; and they came into the midst
of the host in ithe morning watch, and
slew the Ammonites until the heat of
the day: and it came to pass, that they
which remained were scattered, so that
two of them were not left together.
And the people said unto Samuel, 12
■■Who is he that said, Shall Saul reign
over us? ^bring the men, that we may
put them to death. And Saul said, 13
'There shall not a man be put to death
this day: for to day "the Lord hath
wrought salvation in Israel. Then said 14
Samuel to the people, Come, and let
us go to "Gilgal, and renew the king-
dom there. And all the people went to 15
Gilgal; and there they made Saul king
^before the Lord in Gilgal; and >' there
they sacrificed sacrifices of peace offer-
ings before the Lord ; and there Saul and
all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
And Samuel said unto all Israel, Be-
hold, I have hearkened unto ^your voice
in all that ye said unto me, and '^have
made a king over you. And now be- 2
hold, the king ' walketh before you :
''and I am old and grayheaded; and
behold, my sons are with you: and I
have walked before you from my child-
3 hood unto this day. Behold, here I
am : <^ witness against me before the
Lord, and before fhis anointed: £ whose
ox have I taken? or vi-hose ass have I
taken ? or whom have I '' defrauded ?
whom have I ''oppressed? or of whose
hand have I received a'ly * bribe " to
'blind mine eyes therewith? and I will
4 restore it you. And they said. Thou
hast not ''defrauded us, nor ''oppressed
us, neither hast thou taken ought of any
5 man's hand. And he said unto them,
The Lord is witness against you, and
fhis anointed is witness this day, that
ye have not found ought 'in my hand.
6 And they answered, I/e is witness. And
Samuel said unto the people, ^ It is
the Lord that "advanced Moses and
Aaron, and that brought your fathers up
7 out of the land of Egypt. Now there-
fore stand still, that I may 'reason with
you before the Lord of all the 'right-
eous acts of the Lord, which he did
s*to you and 'to your fathers. '"When
Jacob was come i/!to Egypt, and your
fathers "cried unto the Lord, then the
Lord "sent Moses and Aaron, which
brought forth your fathers out of Egypt,
and made them dwell in this place.
9 And when they Pforgat the Lord their
God, ihe sold them into the hand of
Sisera, captain of the host of Hazor,
and into the hand of 'the Philistines,
and into the hand of the king '^of Moab,
10 and they fought against them. And
they 'cried unto the Lord, and said.
We have sinned, because we have for-
saken the Lord, "and have served Baa-
lim and Ashtaroth: but now "deliver us
out of the hand of our enemies, and we
11 will serve thee. And the Lord sent
" Jerubbaal, and J'Bedan, and ^Jeph-
thah, and 'Samuel, and delivered you
out of the hand of your enemies on
12 every side, and ye dwelled safe. And
when ye saw that ''Nahash the king of
the children of Ammon came against
you, ''=ye said unto me, Nay; but a king
shall reign over us : when '^ the Lord
13 your God raas your king. Now there-
fore ^behold the king fwhom ye have
chosen, a /id whom ye have desired: and
behold, Ethe Lord hath set a king over
14 you. If ye will ''fear the Lord, and

\vill 'not obey the voice of the Lord,
but rebel against the commandment of
the Lord, then shall ^the hand of the

So Samuel called unto the Lord; and is
the Lord sent thunder and rain that
day : and Pall the people greatly feared
the Lord and Samuel. And all the 19
people said unto Samuel, iPray for thy
ser\'ants unto the Lord thy God, that
we die not : for we have added unto all
our sins t/iis evil, to ask us a king. And 20
Samuel said unto the people, Fear'not:
ye have done all this wickedness: yet
turn not aside from following the Lord,
but serve the Lord with all your heart;
and 'turn ye not aside: for t/ien should :ii
ye go after vain things, which cannot
^profit nor deliver; for they are vain.
For 'the Lord will not forsake his peo-22

^it hath pleased the Lord to make you

forbid that I should sin against the
Lord 'in ceasing >'to pray for you: but
^I will teach you the ^good and the
right way: ''only fear the Lord, and 24
serve him in truth with all your heart:
for '^consider 'how ''great things he hath
done for you. But if ye shall still do 25
wickedly, ''ye shall be consumed, "^both
ye and your king.

7vhereof two thousand were with Saul in
''Micbmash and in mount Beth-el, and
a thousand were with Jonathan in ""Gi-
beah of Benjamin : and the rest of the
people he sent every man to his tent.
And Jonathan smote the "^garrison of 3
the Philistines that was in ^Geba, and
the Philistines heard of it. And Saul
''blew the trumpet throughout all the
land, saying. Let the Hebrews hear.
And all Israel heard say that Saul had 4
smitten a "^garrison of the Philistines,
and that Israel also 'was had in abomi-
nation with the Philistines. And the
people =were called together after Saul
ito Gilgal. And the Philistines gathered
themselves together to fight with Israel,
thirty thousand chariots, and si.\ thou-
sand horsemen, and people fas the sand
which is on the sea shore in multitude :
and they came up, and pitched in Mich-
6 mash, eastward from sBeth-aven. When
the men of Israel saw that they were in
a strait, (for the people ''were distressed,)
then the people did hide themselves in
'caves, and in thickets, and in rocks,
7 and in J high places, and in pits. And
some of the Hebrews went over Jordan
to the land of Gad and Gilead. As for
Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the
people 'followed him trembling.
8 And ''he tarried seven days, accord-
ing to the set time that Samuel had ap-
pointed: but Samuel came not to Gilgal;
and the people were scattered from him.
9 And Saul said. Bring hither a burnt
oftering to me, and peace offerings.
10 And he offered the burnt offering. xVnd
it came to pass, that as soon as he had
made an end of oftering the burnt offer-
ing, behold, Samuel came ; and Saul
went out to meet him, that he might
II 'salute him. And Samuel said. What
hast thou done? And Saul said, Be-
cause I saw that the people were scat-
tered from me, and that thou earnest not
within the days appointed, and that the
Philistines gathered themselves together
12(7/ Michmash; therefore said I, The Phi-
listines will come down now upon me
to Gilgal, and I have not ' made sup-
plication unto the Lord: I 'forced my-
self therefore, and offered a burnt ofTer-
ising. And Samuel said to Saul, "'Thou
hast done foolishly: "thou hast not kept
the commandment of the Lord thy God,
which he commanded thee : for now
would the Lord have established thy
14 kingdom upon Israel for ever. "But
now thy kingdom shall not continue :
Pthe Lord hath sought him a man
after his own heart, and the Lord
hath commanded him to be captain
over his peojjle, because thou hast not
kept that which the Lord commanded
thee.
IS And Samuel arose, and gat him up
from Gilgal nuto iGibeah of Benjamin.
And Saul numbered the people that
were 'present with him, ''about six hun-

dred men. And Saul, and ^Jonathan i6
his son, and the people that were 'pre-
sent with them, abode in 'Gibeah of
Benjamin : but the Philistines encamped
in Michmash. And 'the spoilers came 17
out of the camp of the Philistines ///
three companies: one company turned
unto the way that leadeth to "Ophrah,
unto the land of 'Shual: and another is
company turned the way to "Beth-horon :
and another company turned to the way
of the border that looketh to the valley
of •'^Zeboim toward the wilderness. Now 19
y there was no smith found throughout
all the land of Israel: for the Philistines
said, Lest the Hebrews make than swords
or spears : but all the Israelites went 20
down to the Philistines, to sharpen every
man his share, and his ^coulter, and his
axe, and his mattock. Yet they had ^a2i
file for the mattocks, and for the coulters,
and for the forks, and for the axes, and
*to sharpen the ^goads. So it came to 22
pass in the day of battle, that ''there
was neither sword nor spear found in
the hand of any of the people that 7i'crc
with Saul and Jonathan : but with Saul
and with Jonathan his son was there
found. And the "garrison of the Philis- 23
tines went out to <=the passage of Mich-
mash.
Now "it came to pass upon a day,
that Jonathan the son of Saul said unto
the young man that bare his armour.
Come, and let us go over to the Phi-
listines' garrison, that is on the other
side. But he told not his father. And 2
Saul tarried in the uttermost part of
=> Gibeah under a ^ pomegranate tree
which is in '^ Migron : and the people
that were with him were ^ about six
hundred men; and "Ahiah, the son of 3
Ahitub, <^I-chabod's brother, the son of
Phinehas, the son of Eli, the Lord's
priest in fShiloh, Swearing an ephod.
And the people knew not that Jonathan
was gone. And between '■the passages, 4
by which Jonathan sought to go over
unto the Philistines' garrison, there 7t'as
a sharp rock on the one side, and a
sharp rock on the other side: and the
name of the one urns Bozez, and the
name of the other Seneh. The 'fore- 5
front of the one 7cias 'situate northward
over against Michmash, and the other
southward over against ^Gibeah. And 6
Jonathan said to the young man that
bare his armour, Come, and let us go
over unto the garrison of these ''uncir-
cumcised : it may be that the Lord will
work for us: for thci-e is no restraint to
the Lord 'to save by many or by few.
7 And his armourbearer said unto him.
Do all that is in thine heart : turn thee ;
behold, I am with thee according to thy
8 heart. Then said Jonathan, Behold, we
will pass over unto these men, and v/e
9 will discover ourselves unto them. If
they say thus unto us, 'Tarry until we
come to you; then we will stand still in
our place, and will not go up unto them.
ID But if they say thus, Come up unto us ;
then we will go up: for ""the Lord hath
delivered them into our hand: and "this
11 shall be a sign unto us. And both of
them discovered themselves unto the
garrison of the Philistines : and the Phi-
listines said, Behold, the Hebrews °come
forth out of the holes where they had
12 hid themselves. And the men of the
garrison answered Jonathan and his
armourbearer, and said. Come up to us,
and we will shew you a thing. And
Jonathan said unto his armourbearer,
Come up after me: for the Lord hath
delivered them into the hand of Israel.
13 And Jonathan climbed up upon his
hands and upon his feet, and his annour-
bearer after him: and they fell before
Jonathan; and his armourbearer slew
14 after him. And that first slaughter,
which Jonathan and his armourbearer
made, was about twenty men, within as
it were "a half acre of land, 7vhieh a
15 yoke of oxen might plow. And there
was trembling in the host, in the field,
and among all the people : the garrison,
and Pthe spoilers, they also trembled,
and the earth quaked: so it was 'a very
great trembling.
16 And the watchmen of Saul in 1 Gibeah
of Benjamin looked; and behold, the
multitude ""melted away, and they went
17 on ''beating down one another. Then
said Saul unto the people that 7vcre with
him. Number now, and see who is gone
from us. And when they had number-
ed, behold Jonathan and his armour-
18 bearer ivcre not there. And Saul said
unto Ahiah, Bring hither the ark of God.
For the ark of God was at that time
igwith the children of Israel. And it
came to pass, while 'Saul talked unto
the priest, that the 'noise that was in
the host of the Philistines went on and
increased : and Saul said unto the priest,
20 Withdraw thine hand. And Saul and
all the people that were with him 'as-

sembled themselves, and they came to
the battle: and behold, "every man's
sword was against his fellow, and there
was a very great 'discomfiture. More- 21
over "the Hebrews f/ia( were with the
Philistines before tliat time, which went
up with them into the camp from the
cowitry round about, even they also
turned to be with the Israelites that
were with Saul and Jonathan. Likewise 22
all the men of Israel which ='had hid
themselves in >' mount Ephraim, when
they heard that the Philistines fled, even
they also followed hard after them in
the battle. ^So the Lord saved Israel 23
that day: and the batde passed over
^unto Beth-aven.
And the men of Israel '^were distress- 24
ed that day: for Saul had "^adjured the
people, saying. Cursed be the man that
eateth any food until evening, that I
may be avenged on mine enemies. So
none of the people tasted any food.
And "^all they of the land came to a 25
wood; and there was 'honey upon the
ground. And when the people were 26
come into the wood, behold >=the honey
dropped ; but no man put his hand to
his mouth: for the people feared the
oath. But Jonathan heard not when 27
his father charged the people with the
oath: wherefore he put forth the end of
the rod that 7uas in his hand, and dipt
it in a fhoneycomb, and put his hand to
his mouth; and his eyes were enlight-
ened. Then sanswered one of the peo- 28
pie, and said. Thy father straitly charged
the people with an oath, saying, Cursed
be the man that eateth any food this
day. And the people were 'faint. Then 29
said Jonathan, My father hath troubled
the land: see, I pray you, how mine
eyes have been enlightened, because I
tasted a little of this honey. How much 30
more, if haply the people had eaten
freely to day of the spoil of their ene-
mies which they found? for had there
not been now a much greater slaughter
among the Philistines? And they smote 31
the Philistines that day from ''Mich-
mash to 'Aijalon: and the people were
very faint. And the people ' flew upon 32
the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen,
and calves, and slew them on the ground :
and the people did eat them ''with the
blood. Then they told -Saul, saying, 33
Behold, the people sin against the Lord,
in that they eat with the blood. And
he said, Ye have 'transgressed: roll a
34 great stone unto me this day. And Saul
said. Disperse yourselves among the peo-
ple, and say unto them. Bring me hither
every man his ox, and every man his
'sheep, and slay ///tv// here, and eat; and
sin not against the Lord in eating with
the blood. And all the people brought
every man his ox 'with him that night,
35 and slew them there. And Saul °' built
an altar unto the Lord: *the same was
the first altar that he built unto the
Lord.
36 And Saul said, Let us go down after
the Philistines by night, and spoil them
until the morning light, and let us not
leave a man of them. And they said.
Do whatsoever seemeth good unto thee.
Then said the "priest. Let us draw near
37 hither unto God. And Saul asked, fiW«-
sd of God, Shall I go down after the
Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into
the hand of Israel? But "he answered
38 him not that day. And Saul said, PDraw
ye near hither, all the *chief of the peo-
ple: and know and see wherein this sin
39 hath been this day. ' For, "^as the Lord
liveth, which saveth Israel, though it be
in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die.
Jjut there was not a man among all the
4o])eoi)le that answered him. Then said
he unto all Israel, Be ye on one side,
and I and Jonathan my son will be on
the other side. And the people said
unto Saul, Do what seemeth good unto
41 thee. Therefore Saul said unto the
Lord God of Israel, "Give a perfect
■■/()/. And ^Saul and Jonathan were
42 taken: but the people 'escaped. And
Saul said, Cast lots between me and
Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was
43 taken. Then Saul said to Jonathan,
'Tell me what thou hast done. And
Jonathan told him, and said, "I did but
taste a little honey with the end of the
rod that roas in mine hand, and lo, I
44 must die. And Saul answered, "God
do so and more also : ^ for thou shalt
45 surely die, Jonathan. And the people
said unto Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who
hath wrought this great salvation in Is-
rael? God forbid: '^as the Lord liveth,
>■ there shall not one hair of his head
fall to the ground; for he hath wrought
with God this day. So the people
rescued Jonathan, that he died not.
46 Then Saul went up from following the
Philistines: and the Philistines went to
their own place.
47 So Saul took the kingdom over Israel,

and fought against all his enemies on
every side, against Moab, and against
the children of ^Ammon, and against
Edom, and against the kings of ^Zobah,
and against the Philistines : and whither-
soever he turned himself, he vexed them.
And he 'gathered a host, and smote 48
'■the Amalekites, and delivered Israel
out of the hands of them that spoiled
them. Now '^ the sons of Saul were 49
Jonathan, and Ishui, and Melchishua:
and the names of his two daughters
were these; the name of the firstborn
'^ Merab, and the name of the younger
^ Michal : and the name of Saul's wife 50
was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz:
and the name of the captain of his host
7iHis ""Abner, the son of Ner, sSaul's
uncle. And ^ Kish was the father of 51
Saul ; and Ner the father of Abner tvas
the son of '■Abiel. And there was sore 52
war against the Philistines all the days
of Saul : and when Saul saw any strong
man, or any valiant man, 'he took him
unto him.
Samuel also said unto Saul, ^ The
Lord sent me to anoint thee to be king
over his people, over Israel: now there-
fore hearken thou unto the voice of the
words of the Lord, Thus saith the 2
Lord of hosts, I remember that which
Amaiek did to Israel, ''how he "^laid
wait for him in the way, when he came
up from Egypt. Now go and smite 3
Amaiek, and ''utterly destroy all that
they have, and spare them not ; but
slay =both man and woman, infant and
suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
And Saul ^gathered the people together, 4
and numbered them in sTelai-m, two
hundred thousand footmen, and ten
thousand men of Judah. And Saul s
came to a city of Amaiek, and ' laid
wait in the valley. And Saul said unto 6
•"the Kenites, Go, depart, get you down
from among the Amalekites, lest I de-
stroy you with them: for 'ye shewed
kindness to all the children of Israel,
when they came up out of Egypt. So
the Kenites departed from among the
Amalekites. And ^Saul smote the Ama- ^
lekites from ''Havilah ««/// thou comest
to 'Shur, that is over against Egypt.
And he took Agag the king of the 8
Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed
■"all the people with the edge of the
sword. But Saul and the people "spared 9
Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of
the oxen, and "of the fatlings, and the
lambs, and all that was good, and
would not utterly destroy them : but
every thing that icas vile and refuse,
that they destroyed utterly.
10 Then came the word of the Lord
11 unto Samuel, saying, °It repenteth me
that I have set up Saul to be king: for
he is P turned back from following me,
land hath not performed my command-
ments. And it grieved Samuel ; and he
12 cried unto the Lord all night. And
when Samuel rose early to meet Saul in
the morning, it was told Samuel, saying,
Saul came to ''Carmel, and behold, he
set him up a place, and is gone about,
and passed on, and gone down to Gilgal.
13 And Samuel came to Saul : and Saul
said unto him, ^Blessed be thou of the
Lord : I have performed the command-
14 ment of the Lord. And Samuel said,
What nieancth then this bleating of the
sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of
15 the oxen which I hear? And Saul said,
They have brought them from the Ama-
lekites: 'for the people spared the best
of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice
unto the Lord thy God; and the rest
16 we have utterly destroyed. Then Sa-
muel said unto Saul, Stay, and I will
tell thee what the Lord hath said to me
this night. And he said unto him. Say
17 on. And Samuel said, " When thou
wast little in thine own sight, 7i<ast thou
not made the head of the tribes of Is-
rael, and the Lord anointed thee king
isover Israel? And the Lord sent thee
on a journey, and said. Go and utterly
destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and
fight against them until 'they be con-
19 sumed. Wherefore then didst thou not
obey the voice of the Lord, but didst
"fly upon the spoil, and didst evil in the
=0 sight of the Lord? And Saul said unto
Samuel, Yea, ^I have obeyed the voice
of the Lord, and have gone the way
which the Lord sent me, and have
brought Agag the king of Amaiek, and
have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.
21 yBut the people took of the spoil, sheep
and o.xen, the chief of ''the things which
should have been utterly destroyed, to
sacrifice unto the Lord thy God in Gil-
22 gal. And Samuel said,
2 Hath the Lord as great delight in
burnt oflerings and sacrifices,
As in obeying the voice of the Lord?
Behold, ^ to obey is better than sa-
crifice,
And to hearken than the fat of rams.

Acts 13. 22.
For rebellion is as the sin of ' witch- 23
craft,
And stubbornness is as iniquity and
''idolatry.
Because thou hast rejected the word
of the Lord,
•^He hath also rejected thee from being
king.
And Saul said unto Samuel, ''I have 24
sinned : for I have transgressed the com-
mandment of the Lord, and thy words:
because I ^feared the people, and obey-
ed their voice. Now therefore, I pray 25
thee, pardon my sin, and turn again
with me, that I may worship the Lord.
And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not 26
return with thee: ffor thou hast rejected
the word of the Lord, and the Lord
hath rejected thee from being king over
Israel. And as Samuel turned about to 27
go away, she laid hold upon the skirt
of his mantle, and it rent. And Samuel 28
said unto him, ''The Lord hath rent
the kingdom of Israel from thee this
day, and hath given it to a neighbour
of thine, that is better than thou. And 29
also the 'Strength of Israel 'will not lie
nor repent : for he is not a man, that
he should repent. Then he said, I have 30
sinned : yet honour me now, I pray thee,
before the elders of my people, and
before Israel, and Uurn again with me,
that I may worship the Lord thy God.
So Samuel turned again after Saul; and 31
Saul worshipped the Lord.
Then said Samuel, Bring you hither to 32
me Agag the king of the Amalekites.
And Agag came unto him delicately.
And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of
death is past. And Samuel said, ''As 33
thy sword hath made women childless,
so shall thy mother be childless among
vv^omen. And 'Samuel hewed Agag in
pieces before the Lord in "'Gilgal.
Then Samuel went to "Ramah; and 34
Saul went up to his house to "Gibeah of
Saul. And PSamuel came no more to 35
see Saul until the day of his death:
nevertheless Samuel ^mourned for Saul:
and the Lord ^repented that he had
made Saul king over Israel.
And the Lord said unto Samuel,
^How long wilt thou mourn for Saul,
seeing ''I have rejected him from reign-
ing over Israel? <=fill thine horn -toith oil,
and go, I will send thee to Jesse the
Beth-lehemite : for '' I have provided me
a king among his sons. And Samuel 2
said, How can I go? if Saul hear //, he
will kill me. And the Lord said. Take
a heifer *with thee, and say, «I am come
3 to sacrifice to the Lord. And call Jesse
to the sacrifice, and ''I will shew thee
what thou shalt do: and sthou shalt an-
oint unto me him whom I name unto
4 thee. And Samuel did that which the
Lord spake, and came to Beth-lehem.
And the elders of the town ''trembled at
his 'coming, and said, 'Comest thou
5 peaceably? And he said, Peaceably:
I am come to sacrifice unto the Lord:
''sanctify yourselves, and come with me
to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Jesse
and his sons, and called them to the sa-
c crifice. And it came to pass, when they
were come, that he looked on "Eliab,
and 'said. Surely the Lord's anointed is
/before him. But the Lord said unto
Samuel, Look not on "his countenance,
or on the height of his stature; because
I have refused him : for the Lord sceth
not as man seeth; for man looketh on
the 'outward appearance, but the Lord
s looketh on the "heart. Then Jesse call-
ed °Abinadab, and made him pass be-
fore Samuel. And he said, Neither hath
9 the Lord chosen this. Then Jesse made
"'Shammah to pass by. And he said,
10 Neither hath the Lord chosen this. A-
gain, Jesse made Pseven of his sons to
pass before Samuel. And Samuel said
unto Jesse, The Lord hath not chosen
11 these. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are
here all thy children? And he said,
P There remaineth yet the youngest, and
behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Sa-
muel said unto Jesse, iSend and fetch
him: for we will not sit 'down till he
12 come hither. And he sent, and brought
him in. Now he was ""ruddy, ami withal
'of a beautiful countenance, and goodly
to look to. And ^the Lord said. Arise,
13 anoint him : for this is he. Then Samuel
took 'the horn of oil, and "anointed him
in the midst of his brethren; and ''the
spirit of the Lord came upon David
from that day forward. So Samuel rose
up, and went to v Ramah.
14 But 2 the spirit of the Lord departed
from Saul, and ^an evil spirit from the
15 Lord "troubled him. And Saul's ser-
vants said unto him. Behold now, an
16 evil spirit from God troubleth thee. Let
our lord now command thy servants
w/iich are ''before thee, to seek out a
man, who is a cunning player on a
harp: and it shall come to pass, when
the evil spirit from God is upon thee,

that he shall <=play with his hand, and
thou shall be well. And Saul said unto 17
his servants, Provide me now a man
that can play well, and bring him to me.
Then answered one of the servants, and is
said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse
the Beth-lehemite, that is cunning in
playing, and ''a mighty valiant man., and
a man of war, and prudent in 'matters,
and a comely person, and ^the Lord is
with him. Wherefore Saul sent messen- 19
gers unto Jesse, and said, Send me Da-
vid thy son, fwhich is with the sheep.
And Jesse stook an ass laden with bread, 20
and a bottle of wine, and a kid, and
sent them by David his son unto Saul.
And David came to Saul, and ''stood 21
before hira: and he loved him greatly;
and he became his armourbearer. And 22
Saul sent to Jesse, saying. Let David, I
pray thee, stand before me; for he hath
found favour in my sight. And it came 23
to pass, when 'the evil spirit from God
was upon Saul, that David took a harp,
and played with his hand : so Saul was
■^refreshed, and was well, and the evil
spirit departed from him.
Now the Philistines =■ gathered together
their armies to battle, and were gathered
together at ^Shochoh, which beloni^eth to
Judah, and pitched between Shochoh
and '^Azekah, in 'Ephes-dammim. And 2
Saul and the men of Israel were gather-
ed together, and pitched by ''the valley
of Elah, and *set the battle in array a-
gainst the Philistines. And the Philis- 3
tines stood on a mountain on the one
side, and Israel stood on a mountain on
the other side: and there was a valley
between them. And there went out a 4
champion out of the camp of the Phi-
listines, named "^Goliath, of 'Gath, whose
height 7C'as si.x cubits and a span. And ■
Jie had a helmet of brass upon his head,
and he ^oas 'armed with a coat of mail;
and the weight of the coat was five thou-
sand shekels (y brass. And /^^'/wi^/ greaves <
of brass upon his legs, and a "target of
brass between his shoulders. And the ;
staff of his spear was like a weaver's
beam; and his spear's head weighed six
hundred shekels 0/ iron : and one bear-
ing a shield went before him. And he i
stood and cried unto the annies of Is-
rael, and said unto them. Why are ye
come out to sei ymir battle in array? am
not I a Philistine, and you s servants to
Saul? choose you a man for you, and let
him come down to me. If he be able (
to fight with me, and to kill me, tlien
will we be your servants: but if I pre-
vail against him, and kill him, then shall
10 ye be our servants, and ''serve us. And
tlie Philistine said, I 'defy the armies of
Israel this day; give me a man, that we
11 may fight together. When Saul and A\\
Israel heard those words of the Philis-
tine, they were dismayed, and greatly
afraid.
12 Now David icas'the: son of that I'^E-
phrathite of Beth-lehem-judah, whose
name 7vas Jesse; and he had 'eight
sons: and the man went among men for
13 an old man in the days of Saul. And
the three eldest sons of Jesse went and
followed Saul to the battle: and the
'"names of his three sons that went to
the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and
next unto him Abinadab, and the third
i4Shammah. And David 7oas the young-
est: and the three eldest followed Saul.
15 But David went and returned from Saul
"to feed his father's sheep at Beth-lehem.
16 And the Philistine drew near morning
and evening, and presented himself forty
17 days. And Jesse said unto David his
son. Take now for thy brethren an ephah
of this parched eorn, and these ten loaves,
and run to the camp to thy brethren;
isand "carry these ten 'cheeses unto the
'captain of their thousand, and look
Phow thy brethren fare, and take their
19 pledge. Now Saul, and they, and all
the men of Israel, were in the valley of
20 Elah, fighting with the Philistines. And
David rose up early in the morning, and
left the sheep with a keeper, and took,
and went, as Jesse had commanded him ;
and he came to the "trench, as the host
was going forth to the "fight, and shouted
21 for the battle. For Israel and the Phir
listines had put the battle in array, army
22 against army. And David left 'his car-
riage in the hand of the keeper of the
carriage, and ran into the army, and
23 came and 'saluted his brethren. And as
he talked with them, behold, there came
up "ithe champion, the Philistine of Gath,
Goliath by name, out of the armies of
the Philistines, and spake ''according to
the same words: and David heard them.
24 And all the men of Israel, when they
saw the man, fled 'from him, and were
25 sore afraid. And the men of Israel said,
Have ye seen this man that is come up?
surely to defy Israel is he come up: and
it shall be, that the man who killeth
him, the king will enrich him with great

riches, and ^will give him his daughter,
and make his father's house free in Is-
rael. And David spake to the men that 26
stood by him, saying, What shall be
done to the man that killeth this Phi-
listine, and taketh away 'the reproach
from Israel? for who is this "uncircum-
cised Philistine, that he should defy the
armies of "the living God? And the 27
people answered him after this manner,
saying, vSo shall it be done to the man
that killeth him. And Eliab his eldest 2s
brother heard when he spake unto the
men; and Eliab's anger was kindled a-
gainst David, and he said, Why camest
thou down hither? and with whom hast
thou left those few sheep in the wilder-
ness? I know thy pride, and the naugh-
tiness of thine heart ; for thou art come
down that thou mightest see the battle.
And David said. What have I now 29
done? ^/f there not a cause? And he 30
turned from him towards another, and
''spake after the same 'manner: and the
people answered him again after the for-
mer 'manner. And when the w^ordssi
were heard which David spake, they re-
hearsed them before Saul; and he 'sent
for him.
And David said to Saul, ^Let no 32
man's heart fail because of him ; '^thy ser-
vant will go and fight with this Philistine.
And Saul said to David, Thou art not 33
able to go against this Philistine to fight
with him ; for thou art but a youth, and
he a man of war from his youth. And 34
David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept
his father's sheep, and there came a lion
and a bear, and took a ' lamb out of the
flock: and I went out after him, and 35
smote him, and delivered it out of his
mouth: and when he arose against me,
I caught him by his beard, and smote
him, and slew him. Thy servant slew 36
both the lion and the bear : and this
''uncircumcised Phili.stine shall be as
one of them, •* seeing he hath defied the
armies of the living God. David said 57
moreover, "^The Lord that delivered me
out of the paw of the lion, and out of
the paw of the bear, he will deliver me
out of the hand of this Philistine. And
Saul said unto David, Go, and ^the
Lord be with thee. And Saul 'armed 38
David with his armour, and he put a
helmet of brass upon his head; also he
armed him with a coat of mail. And 39
David girded his sword upon his armour,
and he assayed to go; for he had not
proved //. And David said unto Saul,
I cannot go with these; for I have not
proved them. And David put them off
40 him. And he took his staff" in his hand,
and chose him five smooth stones out
of the 'brook, and put them in a shep-
herd's 'bag which he had, even in a
scrip; and his sling ivas in his hand;
41 and he drew near to the Philistine. And
the Philistine came on and drew near
unto David; and sthe man that bare the
42 shield wetit before him. And when the
Philistine looked about, and saw David,
he disdained him : for he was but a
youth, and ''ruddy, and of a fair coun-
43 tenance. And the Philistine said unto
David, '^Am I a dog, that thou comest
to me \vith staves? And the Philistine
44 cursed David by his gods. And the
Philistine said to David, Come to me,
and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls
of the air, and to the beasts of the field.
45 Then said David to the Philistine, Thou
comest to me with a sword, and with a
spear, and with a ''shield; but I come
to thee in the name of the Lord of
hosts, the God of the armies of Israel,
46 whom thou hast 'defied. This day will
the Lord 'delix-er thee into mine hand;
and I will smite thee, and take thine
head from thee; and I will give "'the car-
cases of the host of the Philistines this
day "unto the fowls of the air, and to
the wild beasts of the earth ; "that all the
earth may know that there is a God in
47 Israel. And all this assem-bly shall know
that the Lord Psaveth not with sword
and spear: for ^the battle is the Lord's,
and ''he will give you into our hands.
43 And it came to pass, when the Philis-
tine arose, and came and drew nigh to
meet David, that David hasted, and ran
ttnvard the army to meet the Philistine.
49 And David put his hand in his bag, and
took thence a stone, and slang //, and
smote the Philistine in his forehead, that
the stone sunk into his forehead; and
50 he fell upon his face to the earth. So
^David prevailed over the Philistine with
a sling and with a stone, and smote the
Philistine, and slew him; but there 7i'as
51 no sword in the hand of David. There-
fore David ran, and stood upon the Phi-
listine, and took 'his sword, and drew
it out of the sheath thereof, and slew
him, and "cut oft' his head therewith.
And when the Philistines saw their cham-
52 pion was dead, they fled. And the men
of Israel and of Judah arose, and shout-

of "Ekron. And the wounded of the
Philistines fell down by the way to ".Sha-
araim, even unto •''Gath, and unto Ekron.
And the children of Israel returned from 53
chasing after the Philistines, and they
spoiled their tents. And David took 54
the head of the Philistine, and brought
it to y Jerusalem; but he put his armour
in his tent.
And when Saul saw David go forth 55
against the Philistine, he said unto ^Ab-
ner, the captain of the host, Abner,
^ whose son is this youth? And Abner
said, '^As thy soul liveth, O king, I can-
not tell. And the king said. Inquire 56
thou whose son the *= stripling ?>. And 5?
as David returned from the slaughter of
the Philistine, Abner took him, and
brought him before Saul ■'with the head
of the Philistine in his hand. And Saul 58
said to him, Whose son art thou, thou
young man? And David answered, /
am the son of thy servant Jesse the
Beth-lehemite.
And it came to pass, when he made
an end of speaking unto Saul, that ''the
soul of Jonathan was knit with the
soul of David, ''and Jonathan loved him
as his own soul. And Saul took him 2
that day, "^and would let him go no
more home to his father's house. Then 3
Jonathan and David made a covenant,
because he loved him as his own soul.
And Jonathan stript himself of the 4
robe that was upon him, and gave it to
David, and his garments, even to his
sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
And David went out whithersoever Saul 5
sent him, and 'behaved himself wisely:
and Saul set him over the men of war,
and he was accepted in the sight of all
the people, and also in the sight of
Saul's servants. And it came to pass c,
as they came, when David Was returned
from the slaughter of the "Philistine,
that ''the wolilen came out of all cities
of Israel, singing and dancing, to itieet
king Saul, with ''tabrets, with joy, and
with 'instruments of musick. And the 7
women ■= answered one another as they
played, and said,
"■Saul hath slain his thousands)
And David his ten thousands.
And Saul was very wroth, and the say- s
ing 'displeased him; and he said. They
have ascribed unto David ten thousands,
and to me they have ascribed but thou-
sands: and li'/iat can he have more but
98 the kingdom? And Saul eyed David
from that day and forward.
10 And it came to pass on the morrow,
that ''the evil spirit from God came
upon Saul, and 'he prophesied in the
midst of the house: and David ''played
with his hand, as at other times: 'and
11 there was a javelin in Saul's hand. And
Saul ""cast the javelin; for he said, I
will smite David even to the wall with
it. And David avoided out of his pre-
lisence twice. And Saul was "afraid of
David, because °the Lord was with him,
13 and was Pdeparted from Saul. There-
fore Saul removed him from him, and
made him his captain over a thousand;
and ihe went out and came in before
14 the people. And David " behaved him-
self wisely in all his ways; and ■'the
15 Lord ivas with him. Wherefore when
Saul saw that he behaved himself very
16 wisely, he was afraid of him. But ^all
Israel and Judah loved David, because
he went out and came in before them.
17 And Saul said to David, Behold my
elder daughter 'Merab, "her will I give
thee to wife: only be thou 'valiant for
hie, and fight "the Lord's battles. For
Saul said, " Let not mine hand be upon
him, but let the hand of the Philistines
18 be upon him. And David said unto
Saul, yWho am I? and what is my life,
or my father's family in Israel, that I
19 should be son in law to the king? But
it came to pass at the time when Merab
Saul's daughter should have been given
to David, that she was given unto ^Ad-
2oriel the ^Meholathite to wife. And
''Michal Saul's daughter loved David:
and they told Saul, and the thing 'pleased
21 him. And Saul said, I will give him
her, that she may be '^a snare to him,
and that ''the hand of the Philistines
may be against him. Wherefore Saul
said to David, Thou shalt ''this day be
my son in law in the one of the twain.
22 And Saul commanded his servants, say-
ing, Comhiune with David secretly, and
say, Behold, the king hath delight in
thee, and all his servants love thee : now
23 therefore be the king's son in law. And
Saul's servants spake those words in the
ears of David. And David said, ""Seem-
eth it to you a light thing to be a king's
son in law, seeing that I am a poor man,
24 and lightly esteemed ? And the servants
of Saul told him, saying, 'On this man-
25 ner spake David. And Saul said. Thus

shall ye say to David, The king desireth
not any s dowry, but an hundred fore-
skins of the Philistines, *'to be avenged
of the king's enemies. But 'Saul thought
to make David fall by the hand of the
Philistines. And when his servants told
David these words, it J pleased David
well to be the king's son in law: and
■^the days were not * expired. \\'}iere-
fore David arose and went, he and 'his
men, and slew of the Philistines two
hundred men ; and ™ David brought their
foreskins, and they gave them in full
tale to the king, that he might be the
king's son in law. And Saul gave him
Michal his daughter to wife. And Saul
saw and knew that "the Lord 7vas with
David, and that Michal Saul's daughter
loved him. And Saul was yet the more
"afraid of David; and Saul became Da-
vid's enemy "continually. Then the
princes of the Philistines Pwent forth:
and it came to pass, after they went
forth, that Da\id 1 behaved himself more
wisely than all the ser\'ants of Saul; so
that his name was much 'set by.
And Saul spake to Jonathan his son,
and to all his servants, that they should
kill David. But Jonathan Saul's son
^delighted much in David: and Jona-
than told David, saying, Saul my father
seeketh to kill thee: now therefore, I
pray thee, take heed to thyself until the
morning, and abide in a secret place,
and hide thyself: and I will go out and
stand beside niy father in the field
where thou art, and I will commune
with my father of thee; and what I see,
that I will tell thee. And Jonathan
spake good of David unto Saul his
father, and said unto him. Let not the
king ''sin against his servant, against
David ; because he hath not sinned
against thee, and because his works
have been to thee-ward very good : for
he did ''put his life in his hand, and
''slew the Philistine, and =the Lord
wTOught a great salvation for all Israel:
thou sawest //, and didst rejoice: where-
fore then wilt thou sin against finno-
cent blood, to slay David without a
cause? And Saul hearkened unto the
voice of Jonathan: and Saul sware, As
e the Lord liveth, he shall not be slain.
And Jonathan called David, and Jo-
nathan shewed him all those things.
And Jonathan brought David to Saul,
and he was in his presence, ''as 'in
times past.
And there was war again : and David
went out, and fought with the Philis-
tmes, and slew them Tcith a great
slaughter; and they fled from 'him.
9 And 'the evil spirit from the Lord was
26 upon Saul, as he sat in his house with
his javelin in his hand : and David
j 10 'played with /«> hand. And Saul sought
27 to smite David even to the wall with
the javelin; but he slipt away out of
! Saul's presence, and he smote the jave-
I hn into the wall : and David fled, and
II escaped that night. '^Saul also sent
messengers unto David's house, to watch
him, and to slay him in the morning:
28 , and Michal David's wife told him, say-
j ing. If thou save not thy life to night, to
morrow thou sha/t be slain.
29 12 So Michal 'let David down through a
window ; and he went, and fled, and
30 13 escaped. And Michal took an 'image,
and laid // in the bed, and put a pillow
j of goats' hair for his bolster, and cover-
' 14 ed // with a cloth. And when Saul sent
i messengers to take David, she said, He
15 is sick. And Saul sent the messengers
again to see David, saying. Bring him
up to me in the bed, that I may slay
2 16 him. And when the messengers were
come in, behold there 7oas an image in
the bed, w^ith a pillow of goats' hair for
17 his bolster. And Saul said unto Michal,
Why hast thou deceived me so, and
sent away mine enemy, that he is escap-
3 ed.' And Michal answered Saul, He
said unto me, Let me go; ""why should
I kill thee?
18 So David fled, and escaped, and came
4 to Samuel to "Ramah, and told him all
that Saul had done to him. And he
and Samuel ^vent and dwelt in Naioth.
19 And it was told Saul, saying, Behold,
20 David is at Naioth in " Ramah. And
Saul sent messengers to take David :
°and when they saw the company of the
prophets prophesying, and Samuel stand-
ing as appointed over them, the spirit
of God w'as upon the messengers of
21 Saul, and they also p prophesied. And
when it was told Saul, he sent other
messengers, and they prophesied like-
wise. And Saul sent messengers again
the third time, and they prophesied also.
22 Then went he also to Ramah, and came
to a great well that is in Sechu : and he
asked and said, Where are Samuel and
David? And one said, Behold, they be
23 at Naioth in "^ Ramah. And he went
thither to Naioth in "Ramah: and ithe

spirit of God was upon him also, and
he went on, and prophesied, until he
came to Naioth in " Ramah. And he 24
stript off his clothes also, and ■'pro-
phesied before Samuel in like manner,
and 'lay down ^naked all that day and
all that night. Wherefore they say, '/f
Saul also among the prophets?
And David fied from Naioth in =" Ra-
mah, and came and said before Jona-
than, What have I done? what is mine
iniquity? and what is my sin before thy
father, that he seeketh my life? And 2
he said unto him, God forbid; thou
shalt not die : behold, my father will do
nothing cither great or small, but that
he will 'shew it me: and why should
my father hide this thing from me? it
is not so. And David sware moreover, 3
and said. Thy father certainly knoweth
that ''I have found grace in thine eyes;
and he saith. Let not Jonathan know
this, lest he be grieved: but truly as
■^the Lord liveth, and as "^thy soul liv-
eth, there is but a step between me and
death. Then said Jonathan unto David, 4
'Whatsoever thy soul ' desireth, I will
even do // for thee. And David said 5
unto Jonathan, Behold, to morrow is the
"^new moon, and I should not fail to sit
with the king at meat: but let me go,
that fl may hide myself in the fields
unto the third day at even. If thy 6
father at all miss me, then say, David
earnestly asked leave of me that he
might .run ^to Beth-lehem his city: for
there is a ''yearly "sacrifice there for all
the family. If he say thus, It is well; 7
thy servant shall have peace: but if he
be very wroth, then be sure that 'evil
is determined by him. Therefore thou a
shalt -ideal kindly with thy servant; for
•'thou hast brought thy servant into a
covenant of the Lord with thee: not-
withstanding, 'if there be in me ini-
quity, slay me thyself; for why shouldest
thou bring me to thy father? And Jo- 9
nathan said. Far be it from thee : for if
I knew certainly that evil were deter-
mined by my father to come upon thee,
then would not I tell it thee? Then said 10
David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me?
or what //thy father answer thee roughly?
And Jonathan said unto David, Come, n
and let us go out into the field. And
they went out both of them into the
field. And Jonathan said unto David, 12

24 So David hid himself in the field :
and when the new moon was come, the
25 king sat him down to eat meat. And
the king sat upon his seat, as at other
times, rven upon a seat by the wall : and
Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by
Saul's side, and David's place was
26 empty. Nevertheless Saul spake not
any thing that day : for he thought,
Something hath befallen him, "he is not
27 clean ; surely he is not clean. And it ^'t 15! Z 5,
came to pass on the morrow, lahich 7C'as
the second ''day of the month, that Da- ll'^^^^'^^^
vid's place was emjjty: and Saul said
■ Lev. 7. 21.
& II. 24—28.
(260)
Chap. xx. 28.

Chap. xxi. 10.
unto Jonathan his son, Wherefore com-
eth not the son of Jesse to meat, neither
yesterday, nor to day? And Jonathan's
answered Saul, >■ David earnestly asked
leave of me to go to Beth-lehem : and he 29
said, Let me go, I pray thee; for our
family hath a sacrifice in the city; and
my brother, he hath commanded me to
be there: and now, if I have found fa-
vour in thine eyes, let me get away,
I pray thee, and see my brethren.
Therefore he cometh not unto the king's
table. Then Saul's anger was kindled 30
against Jonathan, and he said unto him,
" Thou son of the perverse rebellious
woman, do not I know that thou hast
chosen the son of Jesse to thine own
confusion, and unto the confusion of
thy mother's nakedness? For as longs,
as the son of Jesse liveth upon the
ground, thou shall not be stablished,
nor thy kingdom. Wherefore now send
and fetch him unto me, for he ' shall
surely die. And Jonathan answered 32
Saul his father, and said unto him,
^Wherefore shall he be slain? what hath
he done? And Saul ^cast a javelin at 33
him to smite him : whereby Jonathan
"Sover. 7. ]jtiew that "^it was determined of his fa-
ther to slay David. So Jonathan arose 34
from the table "^in fierce anger, and did
eat no meat the second day of the
month: for he was grieved for David,
because his father had done him shame.
And it came to pass in the morning, 35
that Jonathan went out into the field at
the time appointed with David, and a
little lad with him. And he said unto 36
his lad, Run, find out now the arrows
which I shoot. And as the lad ran,
he shot an arrow 'beyond him. And 37
when the lad was come to the place
of the arrow which Jonathan had shot,
Jonathan cried after the lad, and said,
Is not the arrow ''beyond thee? And 33
Jonathan cried after the lad. Make
speed, haste, stay not. And Jonathan's
lad gathered up the arrows, and came
to his master. But the lad knew not 39
any thing: only Jonathan and David
knew the matter. And Jonathan gave 40
his 'artillery unto 'his lad, and said
unto him. Go, carry them to the city.
And as soon as the lad was gone, 41
David arose out of a place toward tlie
south, and fell on his face to the
ground, and bowed himself three times :
and they kissed one another, and wept
one with another, until David exceeded.

peace, "forasmuch as we have sworn
both of us in the name of the Lord,
saying. The Lord be between me and
thee, and between my seed and thy
seed for ever. And he arose and de-
parted : and f Jonathan went into the
city.
Then came David to »Nob to "Ahi-
melech the priest: and Ahimelech was
''afraid at the meeting of David, and
said unto him, ^^'hy ait thou alone, and
2 no man with thee ? And David said
unto Ahimelech the priest, The king
hath commanded me a business, and
hath said unto me. Let no man know
any thing of the business whereabout
I send thee, and what I have com-
manded thee : and I have appointed
my servants to such and such a place.
3 Now therefore what is under thine
hand? give me five loaves of bread in
mine hand, or what there is 'present.
4 And the priest answered David, and
said. There is no common bread under
mine hand, but there is "^hallowed btead;
''if the young men have kept themselves
5 at least from women. And David an-
swered the priest, and said unto him.
Of a truth women lum- been kept from
us about these three days, since I came
out, and the vessels of the young men
are holy, and the bread is '^in a manner
common, ' yea, though it were sancti-
6 fied this day in the vessel. So the
priest gave him hallowed bread: for
there was no bread there but the shew-
bread, ""that was taken from before the
Lord, to put hot bread in the day
7 when it was taken away. Now a cer-
tain man of the servants of Saul 7i'as
there that day, s detained before the
Lord; and his name was ''Doeg, an
Edomite, the chiefest of the herdmen
s that belonged to Saul. And David said
unto Ahimelech, And is there not here
under thine hand spear or sword? for I
have neither brought my sword nor my
weapons with me, because the king's
9 business required haste. And the priest
said, 'The sword of Goliath the Philis-
tine, whom thou slewest in "^the valley
of Elah, 'behold, it is here wrapt in a
cloth behind the ephod: if thou wilt
take that, take it: for there is no other
save that here. And David said. There
is none like that; give it me.

for fear of Saul, and went to "Achish

the king of "Gath. And the servants n
of Achish said unto him, Is not this
David the king of the land? did they
not "sing one to another of him in
"dances, saying, Saul hath slain his
thousands, and David his ten thousands?
And David Plaid up these words in his 12
heart, and was sore afraid of Achish the
king of Gath. And "ihe changed his be- 13
haviour before them, and feigned him-
self mad in their hands, and "scrabled
on the doors of the gate, and let his
spittle fall down upon his beard. Then 14
said Achish unto his servants, Lo, you
see the man "/j mad: wherefore then
have ye brought him to me? Have 1 15
need of mad men, that ye have brought
this/('//c7i.'' to jjlay the mad man in my
presence? shall this fellow come into my
house?
David therefore departed thence, and
escaped to ^the cave ^Adullam: and
when his brethren and all his father's
house heard it, they went down thither
to him. And "^every one that was in 2
distress, and every one that *was in
debt, and every one that was 'discon-
tented, gathered themselves unto him;
and he became a captain over them:
and there were with him about "^four
hundred men. And David went thence 3
to Mizpeh of Moab: and he said unto
'the king of Moab, Let my father and
my mother, I pray thee, come forth,
and he with you, till I know what God
will do for me, And he brought them 4
before the king of Moab: and they
dwelt with him all the while that David
was in the hold. And the prophet s
f Gad said unto David, Abide not in the
hold ; depart, and get thee info the land
of Judah. Then David departed, and
came into the forest of Hareth.
When Saul heard that David was dis- 6
covered, and the men that 'lUcre with
him, (now Saul abode in sGibeah under
a 'tree in ''Ramah, having his spear in
his hand, and all his servants were stand-
ing about him ;) then Saul said unto his 7
servants that stood about him. Hear
now, ye Benjamites; will the son of
Jesse 'give every one of you fields and
vineyards. (?;/// make you all captains of
thousands, and captains of hundreds:
that all of you have conspired against s
me, and there is none that 'sheweth me
that ' my son hath made a league with
the son of Jesse, and there is Jnone of
you that is sorry for me, or 'sheweth
unto me that my son hath stirred up my
servant against me, to lie in wait, as at
9 this day? Then answered ''Doeg the
Edomite, which was set over the ser-
vants of Saul, and said, I saw the son of
Jesse coming to 'Nob, to Ahimelech the
10 son of "'Ahitub: and he "inquired of
the Lord for him, and °gave him vic-
tuals, and gave him the sword of Goliath
11 the Philistine. Then the king sent to
call Ahimelech the priest, the son of
Ahitub, and all his father's house, the
priests that were in 'Nob: and they
12 came all of them to the king. And
Saul said, Hear now, thou son of Ahi-
tub. And he answered, ' Here I am,
13 my lord. And Saul said unto him, Why
have ye conspired against me, thou and
the son of Jesse, in that thou hast given
him bread and a sword, and hast "in-
quired of God for him, that he should
rise against me, Pto lie in wait, as at
14 this day? Then Ahimelech answered
. the king, and said. And who is so faith-
ful among all thy servants as David,
which is the king's son in law, and
goeth at thy bidding, and is honourable
15 in thine house? Did I then begin to
"inquire of God for him? be it far from
me: let not the king impute any thing
unto his servant, nor to all the house of
my father: for thy servant knew notliing
16 of all this, 'less or more. And the king
said, Thou shalt surely die, Ahimelech,
17 thou, and all thy father's house. And
the king said unto the 'footmen that
stood about him. Turn, and slay the
priests of the Lord; because their hand
also is with David, and because they
knew when he fled, and did not shew
it to me. But the servants of the king
would not put forth their hand to fall
is upon the priests of the Lord. And the
king said to Doeg, Turn thou, and fall
upon the priests. And Doeg the Edom-
ite turned, and he fell upon the priests,
and islew on that day fourscore and five
persons that ''did wear a linen ephod.
19 And 'Nob, the city of the priests, smote
he with the edge of the sword, ^both
men and women, children and sucklings,
and oxen, and asses, and sheep, with
the edge of the -sword.
20 And one of the sons of Ahimelech
the son of Ahitub, named 'Abiathar,
21 "escaped, and fled after David. And
Abiathar shewed David that Saul had
22 slain the Lord's priests. And David
said unto Abiathar, I knew it that day,

when Doeg the Edomite was there, that
he would surely tell Saul: I have occa-
sioned the dftitli of all the persons of
thy father's house. ''Abide thou with 23
me, fear not: for he that seeketh my
life seeketh thy life: but with me thou
shalt be in safeguard.
Then they told David, saying, Behold,
the Philistines fight against ^Keilah, and
they rob the threshingfloors. Therefore 2
David ''inquired of the Lord, saying.
Shall I go and smite these Philistines?
And the Lord said unto David, Go,
and smite the Philistines, and save Kei-
lah. And David's men said unto him, 3
Behold, we be afraid here in Judah:
how much more then if we come to
Keilah against the armies of the Phi-
listines? Then David inquired of the 4
Lord yet again. And the Lord an-
swered him and said. Arise, go down
to Keilah; for "^I will deliver the Phi-
listines into thine hand. So David and 5
his men went to Keilah, and fought
with the Philistines, and brought away
their cattle, and smote them ^inth a
great slaughter. So David saved the
inhabitants of Keilah. And it came to 6
pass, when Abiathar the son of Ahime-
lech '^fled to David to Keilah, that he
came down with an ephod in his hand.
And it was told Saul that David was ^
come to Keilah. And Saul said, God
hath delivered him into mine hand ; for
he is shut in, by entering into a town
that hath gates and bars. And Saul 8
"= called all the people together to war,
to go down to Keilah, to besiege David
and his men. And David knew that 9
Saul secretly practised mischief against
him ; and Hie said to Abiathar the priest.
Bring hither the ephod. Then said 10
David, O Lord God of Israel, thy ser-
vant hath certainly heard that Saul seek-
eth to come to Keilah, sto destroy the
city for my sake. Will ''the men ofn
Keilah deliver me up into his hand?
Will Saul come down, as thy servant
hath heard? O Lord God of Israel, I
beseech thee, tell thy servant. And the
Lord said. He will come down. Then 12
said David, Will ''the men of Keilah
'deliver me and my men into the hand
of Saul? And the Lord said, They
will 'deliver thee up. Then David and 13
his men, ivhkh ivere about 'si.\ hundred,
arose and departed out of Keilah, and
^ went whithersoever they could go. And
it was told Saul that David was escaped
from Keilah ; and he forbare to go forth.
14 And David abode in the wilderness in
strong holds, and remained in a moun-
tain in the wilderness of 'Ziph. And
Saul sought him every day, but God de-
15 livered him not into his hand. And
David saw that Saul was come out to
seek his life : and David was in the
wilderness of 'Ziph in a wood.
16 And ""Jonathan Saul's son arose, and
went to David into the wood, and
17 strengthened his hand in God. And
he said unto him. Fear not: for the
hand of Saul my father shall not find
thee; and thou shalt be king over Israel,
and I shall be ne.xt unto thee; and "that
18 also Saul my father knoweth. And they
two "made a covenant Pbefore the Lord:
and David abode in the wood, and Jo-
nathan went to his house.
19 Then icame up the 'Ziphites to Saul
to ''Gibeah, saying. Doth not David hide
himself with us in strong holds in the
wood, in ^the hill of Hachilah, which is
20 'on the south of ' Jeshimon? Now there-
fore, O king, come down according to all
the desire of thy soul to come down;
and our part shall be to 'deliver him
21 into the king's hand. And Saul said,
"Blessed be ye of the Lord; for ''ye
22 have compassion on me. Go, I pray
you, prepare yet, and know and see
his place where his 'haunt is, and who
hath seen him there: for it is told me
23 that he dealeth very subtilly. See there-
fore, and take knowledge of all the
lurking places where he liideth himself,
and come ye again to me "with the
certainty, and I will go with you : and
it shall come to pass, if he be in the
land, that I will search him out through-
24 out all the thousands of Judah. And
they arose, and went to 'Ziph before
Saul: but David and his men were in
the wilderness of >'Maon, in the plain
25 on ^the south of Jeshimon. Saul also
and his men went to seek him. And
they told David: wherefore he came
down '^into a rock, and abode in the
wilderness of Maon. And when Saul
heard that, he pursued after David in
26 the wilderness of Maon. And Saul
went on this side of the mountain, and
David and his men on that side of the
mountain: and David made "haste to
get away for fear of Saul ; for Saul and
his men compassed David and his men
27 round about to take them. But there
came a messenger unto Saul, saynig,

Haste thee, and come; •'for the PhiHs-
tines have 'invaded the land. AVhere- 28
fore Saul returned from pursuing after
David, and went against the Philistines:
therefore they called that place "Sela-
hammahlekoth.
And David went up from thence, and 29
dwelt in strongholds at '^En-gedi. And i
it came to pass, *when Saul was re-
turned from 'following the Philistines,
that it was told him, saying, Behold,
David is in the wilderness of En-gedi.
Then Saul took three thousand ''chosen 2
men out of all Israel, and went to seek
David and his men upon the rocks of
the wild goats. And he came to the 3
■^sheepcotes by the way, where was a
cave; and Saul went in to <* cover his
feet: and <= David and his men remained
in the sides of the cave. And the men 4
of David said unto him, fBehold the
day of which the Lord said unto thee.
Behold, I will deliver thine enemy into
thine hand, that thou mayest do to him
as it shall seem good unto thee. Then
David arose, and cut off the skirt of
'Saul's robe privily. And it came to s
pass afterward, that s David's heart smote
him, because he had cut off Saul's skirt.
And he said unto his men, ''The Lord 6
forbid that I should do this thing unto
my master, ' the Lord's anointed, to
stretch forth mine hand against him,
seeing he is the anointed of the Lord.
So David 'stayed his servants with these 7
words, and •'suffered them not to rise
against Saul. But Saul rose up out of
the cave, and went on his way. David s
also rose afterward, and went out of
the cave, and cried after Saul, saying,
My lord tlie king. And when Saul
looked behind him, David stooped with
his face to the earth, and bowed him-
self.
And David said to Saul, ''Wherefore 9
hearest thou men's words, saying, Be-
hold, David seeketh thy hurt? Behold, 10
this day thine eyes have seen how that
the Lord had delivered thee to day
into mine hand in the cave: and ^some
bade me kill thee: but '^mine eye spared
thee; and I said, I will not put forth
mine hand against my lord ; for he is
the Lord's anointed. Moreover, my fa- n
ther, see, yea see the skirt of thy robe
in my hand: for in that I cut off the
skirt of thy robe, and killed thee not,
know thou and see that there is neither
evil nor transgression in mine hand, and
I have not sinned against thee ; yet thou
i2huntest my soul to take it. "The Lord
judge between me and thee, and the
Lord avenge me of thee : but mine
13 hand shall not be upon thee. As saith
the proverb of the ancients, Wicked-
ness proceedeth from the wicked : but
mine hand shall not be upon thee.
14 After whom is the king of Israel come
out ? after whom dost thou pursue ?
15 "after a dead dog, after Pa flea. "iThe
Lord therefore be judge, and judge
between me and thee, and ■'see, and
'plead my cause, and 'deliver me out of
thine hand.
16 And it came to pass, when David
had made an end of speaking these
words unto Saul, that Saul said, '/f this
thy voice, my son David? And Saul
17 lift up his voice, and wept. "And he
said to David, Thou at-t "more right-
eous than I : for thou hast rewarded me
good, whereas I have rewarded thee
18 evil. And thou hast .shewed this day
how that thou hast dealt well with me :
forasmuch as when the Lord had 'de-
livered me into thine hand, thou killedst
19 me not. For if a man find his enemy,
will he let him go well away? where-
fore the Lord reward thee good for
that thou hast done unto me this day.
20 And now behold, vl know well that
thou shalt surely be king, and that the
kingdom of Israel shall be established
21 in thine hand. =^ Swear now therefore
unto me by the Lord, ''that thou wilt
not cut off my seed after me, and that
thou wilt not destroy my name out of
22 my father's house. And David sware
unto Saul. And Saul went home; but
David and his men gat them up unto
•■the hold.
And "Samuel died; and all the Is-
raelites were gathered together, and ''la-
mented him, and buried him '=in his
house at ''Ramah. And David arose,
and went down to =the wilderness of
2 Paran. And there was a man in fs Maon,
whose 'possessions were in sQarmel;
and the man 7i'as very great, and he
had three thousand sheep, and a thou-
sand goats: and he was shearing his
3 sheep in Carmel. Now the name of
the man was Nabal; and the name of
his wife Abigail: and she was a woman
of good understanding, and of a beau-
tiful countenance : but the man was
churlish and evil /;/ his doings; and he
iwas ^oi the house of Caleb. And

David heard in the wilderness that Na-

sent out ten young men, and David
said unto the young men, Get you up

to him that liveth iti prosperity, ' Peace
be both to thee, and peace be to thine
house, and peace be unto all that thou

in " a good day : give, I pray thee,
"whatsoever cometh to thine hand unto
thy servants, and to thy son David.
And when David's young men came, 9
they spake to Nabal according to all
those words in the name of David, and
'ceased. And Nabal answered David's 10
servants, and said, "Who is David? and
who is the son of Jesse? there be many
servants now a days Pthat break away
every man from his master. 1 Shall In
then take my bread, and my water, and
my 'flesh that I have killed for my
shearers, and give it unto men, whom
I know not whence they be? So Da- 12
vid's young men turned their way, and
went again, and came and told him all
those sayings. And David said unto 13
his men. Gird you on every man his
sword. And they girded on ever}' man
his sword; and David also girded on
his sword : and there went up after Da-
vid about '■four hundred men; and ''two
hundred ''abode by the stuff.
But one of the young men told Abi- h
gail, Nabal's wife, saying, Behold, Da-
vid sent messengers out of the wil-
derness to 'salute our master; and he
'railed on them. But the men were 15
very good unto us, and we were not
'hurt, neither missed we any thing, as
long as we were conversant with them,
when we were in the fields : they were 16
"a wall unto us both by night and day,
all the while we were with them keeping
the sheep. Now therefore know and i?
consider what thou wilt do ; for "evil is
determined against our master, and
against all his household : for he is such
"a son of Belial, that a man cannot
speak to him. Then Abigail made is
haste, and 'took two hundred loaves,
and two bottles of wine, and five sheep
ready dressed, and five measures of
parched corn, and an hundred 'clusters
of raisins, and two hundred cakes of
i^Jigs, and laid than on asses. And she
said unto her servants, ^Go on before
me ; behold, I come after you. But
20 she told not her husband Nabal. And
it was so, as she rode on the ass, that
she came down by the covert of the
hill, and behold, David and his men
came down against her; and she met
21 them. Now David had said. Surely in
vain have I kept all that this _/;-//<;7t' hath
in the wilderness, so that nothing was
missed of all that pertained unto him :
and he hath "requited me evil for good.
22 ''So and more also do God unto the
enemies of David, if I leave of all that
pertain to him by the morning light any
2-ithat "^pisseth against the wall. And
when Abigail saw David, she hasted,
and ''lighted off the ass, and =fell
before David on her face, and bowed
24 herself to the ground, and fell at his
feet, and said, f Upon me, my lord, upon
me let this iniquity l)e: and let thine
handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine
' audience, and hear the words of thine
25 handmaid. Let not my lord, I pray
thee, 'regard this sman of Belial, even
Nabal : for as his name is, so is he ;
" Nabal is his name, and folly is with
him : but I thine handmaid saw not the
young men of my lord, whom thou didst
26 send. Now therefore, my lord, ^as the
Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, see-
ing the Lord hath 'withholden thee
from coming to shed blood, and from
'avenging thyself with thine own hand,
now J let thine enemies, and they that
seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.
27 And now this 'blessing which thine hand-
maid hath brought unto my lord, let it
even be given unto the )'oung men that
28 'follow my lord. I pray thee, forgive
the trespass of thine handmaid : for the
Lord will certainly make my lord ''a
sure house; because my lord 'fighteth
the battles of the Lord, and evil hath
not been found in thee all thy days.
29 Yet a man is risen to pursue thee, and
to seek thy soul : but the soul of my
lord shall be bound in the bundle of life
with the Lord thy God ; and the souls
of thine enemies, them shall he '".sling
out ^as out of the middle of a sling.
30 And it shall come to pass, when the
Lord shall have done to my lord accord-

concerning thee, and shall have appoint-
ed thee ruler over Israel ; that this 31
shall be *no grief unto thee, nor offence
of heart unto my lord, either that thou
hast shed blood causeless, or that my
lord hath avenged himself: but when
the Lord shall have dealt well with my
lord, then remember thine handmaid.
And David said to Abigail, "Blessed 32
he the Lord God of Israel, which sent
thee this day to meet me: and blessed 33
he thy advice, and blessed he thou, which
hast "kept me this day from coming to
'shed blood, and from avenging myself
with mine own hand. For in very 34
deed, Prt'j'the Lord God of Israel liveth,
which hath "skept me back from hurting
thee, except thou hadst hasted and come
to meet me, surely there "^had not been
left unto Nabal by the morning light
any that pisseth against the wall. So 35
David received of her hand that which
she had brought him, and said unto her,
^Go up in peace to thine house ; see, I
have hearkened to thy voice, and have
' accepted thy person.
And Abigail came to Nabal ; and 36
behold, "he held a feast in his house,
like the feast of a king; and "Nabal's
heart was merry within him, for he ivas
very drunken: wherefore she told him
nothing, "less or more, until the morn-
ing light. But it came to pass in the 37
morning, when the wine was gone out of
Nabal, and his wife had told him these
things, that his heart died within him,
and he became as a stone. And it came 38
to pass about ten days after, that the
Lord smote Nabal, that he died. And 39
W'hen David heard that Nabal was
dead, he said, -''Blessed he the Lord,
that hath ^pleaded the cause of my re-
proach from the hand of Nabal, and
hath ^kept his servant from evil: for the
Lord hath "returned the wickedness of
Nabal upon his own head. And David
sent and communed with Abigail, to
take her to him to wife. And when the 40
servants of David were come to Abigail
to Carmel, they spake unto her, say-
ing, David sent us unto thee, to take
thee to him to wife. And she arose, 41
and bowed herself on her face to the
earth, and said, Behold, let •'thine hand-
maid he a servant to wash the feet of the
servants of my lord. And Abigail hasted, 42
and rose, and rode upon an ass, with
five damsels of hers that went *afterher;
and she went after the messengers of ° See^josh.

the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jes-

in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul
came after him into the wilderness.

nor knew //, neither awaked : for they
liiere all asleep ; because ""a deep sleep
from the Lord was fallen upon them.
Then David went over to the other i^
side, and stood on the top of a hill afar
off ; a great space being between them :
and David cried to the people, and to 14
Abner the son of Ner, saying, Answerest
thou not, Abner ? Then Abner answered
and said. Who art thou that criest to the
king ? And David said to Abner, Art 15
not thou a valiant man ? and who is like
to thee in Israel? wherefore then hast
thou not kept thy lord the king? for
there came one of the people in to de-
stroy the king thy lord. This thing is 16
not good that thou hast done. ^As the
Lord liveth, ye are 'worthy to die,
because ye have not kept your master,
'the Lord's anointed. And now see
where the king's spear is, and the cruse
of water that 'toas at his bolster. And 17
Saul knew David's voice, and said, ^ Is
this thy voice, my son David ? And Da-
vid said, // is my voice, my lord, O king.
And he said, ' Wherefore doth my lord is
thus pursue after his servant ? for what
have I done ? or what evil is in mine
hand ? Now therefore, I pray thee, let 19
my lord the king hear the words of his
servant. If the Lord have "stirred thee
up against me, let him 'accept an offer-
ing : but if they be the children of men,
cursed be they before the Lord ; for
"they have driven me out this day from
'abiding in "the inheritance of the Lord,
saying, Go, serve other gods. Now 20
therefore, let not my blood fall to the
earth before the face of the Lord : for
the king of Israel is come out to seek
ya flea, as when one doth hunt a =^ par-
tridge in the mountains. Then said 21
Saul, ^I have sinned: return, my son
David : for I will no more do thee harm,
because my soul ''was precious in thine
eyes this day : behold, ■= I have played
the fool, and have erred exceedingly.
And David answered and said. Behold, 22
the king's spear; and let one of the
young men come over and fetch it.
''The Lord render to every man his 23
righteousness and his faithfulness : for
the Lord delivered thee into my hand
to day, but I would not stretch forth
mine hand against the Lord's anointed.
And behold, as thy life was much set 24
by this day in mine eyes, so let my life
be much set by in the eyes of the
Lord, and let him deliver me out of all
25 tribulation. Then Saul said to David,
•= Blessed be thou, my son David : thou
shalt both do great things, and also
shalt still fprevail. So David went on
his way, and Saul returned to his place.
And David. said in his heart, I shall
now * perish one day by the hand of Saul :
there is nothing better for me than that
I should speedily escape into the land
of the Philistines ; and Saul shall de-
spair of me, to seek me any more in
any coast of Israel : so shall I escape
2 out of his hand. And David arose,
and he passed over with ^the six hun-
dred men that ivere with him ''unto
Achish, the son of Maoch, king of
3 t^Gath. And David dwelt with Achish at
Gath, he and his men, every man with
his household, even David '' with his two
wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and
Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal's wife.
4 And it was told Saul that David was
fled to Gath : and he sought no more
s again for him. And David said unto
Achish, If ■= I have now found grace in
thine eyes, let them give me a place in
some town in the country, that I may
dwell there : for why should thy servant
6 dwell in ''the royal city with thee ? Then
Achish gave him sZiklag that day : where-
fore Ziklag pertaineth unto the kings of
7 Jticbh unto this day. And 'the time that
David dwelt in the country of the Philis-
tines was 'a full year and four months.
8 And David and ''his men went up,
and invaded 'the Geshurites, and the
' Gezrites, and the ■• Amalekites : for those
nations ivere of old the inhabitants of the
land ''as thou goest to Shur, even unto
9 the land of Egypt. And David smote
the land, and left neither man nor
woman alive, and took away the sheep,
and the oxen, and the asses, and 'the
camels, and the apparel, and returned,
10 and came to Achish. And Achish said,
' \Vhither have ye made a road to day?
And David said. Against the south of
Judah, and against the south of "'the
Jerahmeelites, and against the south of
11 "the Kenites. And David "saved neither
man nor woman alive, to bring tidings to
Gath, saying. Lest they should tell on us,
saying. So did David, and so will be his
manner all the while he dwelleth in the
12 countr}- of the Philistines. And Achish
believed David, saying. He hath made his
people Israel 'utterly to abhor him : there-
fore he sliall be my servant for ever.
And ^ it came to pass in those days,

that the Philistines gathered their
armies together for war&re, to fight
with Israel. And Achish said unto Da-
vid, Know thou assuredly, that thou
shalt go out with me to battle, thou and
thy men. And David said to Achish, 2
Surely thou shalt know what thy ser-
vant can do. And Achish said to Da-
vid, Therefore will I make thee keeper
of mine head for ever.
Now ''Samuel was dead, and all 3
Israel had lamented him, and buried
him in "^Ramah, even in his own city.
And Saul had put away '^ those that had
familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of
the land. And the Philistines gathered 4
themselves together, and came and
pitched in <=Shunem : and Saul fathered
all Israel together, and they pitched in
fGilboa. And when Saul saw the host 5
of the Philistines, he was afraid, and
his heart greatly trembled. And when 6
Saul inquired of the Lord, sthe Lord
answered him not, neither by ''dreams,
nor by ' Urim, nor by prophets. Then ^
said Saul unto his servants. Seek me a
woman J that hath a familiar spirit, that
I may go to her, and inquire of her.
And his servants said to him. Behold,
t/ierc is a woman -"that hath a familiar
.spirit at ''En-dor. And Saul 'disguised 8
himself, and put on other raiment, and
he went, and two men with him, and
they came to the woman by night: and
he said, I pray thee, ""divine unto me by
the familiar spirit, and bring me /lim up,
vi'hom I shall name unto thee. And the 9
woman said unto him. Behold, thou know-
est what Saul hath done, how he hath
"cut oft" those that have familiar spirits,
and the wizards, out of the land : where-
fore then layest thou a snare for my life,
to cause me to die ? And Saul sware to 10
her by the Lord, saying, °As the Lord
liveth, there shall no p punishment hap-
pen to thee for this thing. Then said n
the woman. Whom shall I bring up
unto thee ? And he said. Bring me up
Samuel. And when the woman saw 12
Samuel, she cried with a loud voice:
and the woman spake to Saul, saying,
Why hast thou deceived me ? for thou
art Saul. And the king said unto her, 13
Be not afraid : for what sawest thou ?
And the woman said unto Saul, I saw
igods ascending out of the earth. And 14
he said unto her, 'What form is he of?
And she said. An old man cometh up ;
and he is covered with ■'a mantle. And
Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and
he stooped with his face to the ground,
and bowed himself.
15 And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast
thou disquieted me, to bring me up ?
And Saul answered, I am sore distress-
ed; for the Philistines make war against
me, and ^God is departed from me, and
'answereth me no more, neither 'by
prophets, nor by dreams : therefore I
have called thee, that thoie mayest make
16 known unto me what I shall do. Then
said Samuel, "Wherefore then dost thou
ask of me, seeing the Lord is departed
from thee, and is become thine enemy?
17 And the Lord hath done "to him, "as
he spake by 'me : for "the Lord hath
rent the kingdom out of thine hand,
and given it to thy neighbour, avu to
18 David: >" because thou obeyedst not the
voice of the Lord, nor executedst his
fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore
hath the Lord done this thing unto
19 thee this day. Moreover the Lord will
also deliver Israel with thee into the
hand of the Philistines : and to morrow
s/ialt thou and ^thy sons l>c with me:
the Lord also shall deliver the host of
Israel into the hand of the Philistines.
20 Then Saul 'fell straightway all along
on the earth, and was sore afraid, be-
cause of the words of Samuel : and there
was no strength in him ; for he had eaten
no bread all the day, nor all the night.
21 And the woman came unto Saul, and
saw that he was sore troubled, and said
unto him. Behold, thine handmaid hath
obeyed thy voice, and ^I have put my
life in my hand, and have hearkened
unto thy words which thou spakest unto
22 me. Now therefore, I pray thee, heark-
en thou also unto the voice of thine
handmaid, and let me set a morsel of
bread before thee ; and eat, that thou
mayest have strength, when thou goest
23 on thy way. But he refused, and said,
I will not eat. But his servants, to-
gether with the woman, compelled him;
and he hearkened unto their voice. So
he arose from the earth, and sat upon
24 ''the bed. And the woman had '^a fat
calf in the house; and she hasted, and

the Israelites pitched by "^a fountain
which is in '^Jezreel. And 'the lords =
of the Philistines passed on by hun-
dreds, and by thousands : but David and
his men passed on in the rereward ^with
Achish. Then said the princes of the 3
Philistines, What do these Hebrews here}
And Achish said unto the princes of the
Philistines, Is not this David, the ser-
vant of Saul the king of Israel, which
hath been with me s these days, or these
years, and ''I have found no fault m
him since he 'fell vnto me unto this day?
And the princes of the PhiHstines were 4
^\Toth with him; and the princes of the
Philistines said unto him, Make tliis fel-
low return, that he may go again to his
place, which ^thou hast appointed him,
and let him not go down with us to
battle, lest "^in the battle he be an ad-
versary to us: for wherewith should he
reconcile himself unto his master? should
it not be with the heads of these men?
Is not this David, of whom they sang s
one to another in dances, saying, 'Saul
slew his thousands, and David his ten
thousands? Then Achish called David, 6
and said unto him, Surely, ™(?j-the Lord
liveth, thou hast been upright, and "thy
going out and thy coming in with me in
the host is good in my sight: for °\
have not found evil in thee since the
day of thy coming unto me unto this
day: nevertheless *'the lords favour thee
not. Wherefore now return, and Pgo 7
in peace, that thou 'displease not ^the
lords of the Philistines. And David said s
unto Achish, But what have I done?
and what hast thou found in thy servant
so long as I have been 'with thee unto
this day, that I may not go fight against
the enemies of my lord the king? And 9
Achish answered and said to David, I
know that thou art good in my sight,
■sas an angel of God: notwithstanding
'the princes of the Philistines have said,
He shall not go up with us to the bat-
tle. Wherefore now rise up early in the 10
morning =with thy master's servants that
are come with thee: and as soon as ye
be up early in the morning, and have
light, depart. So David and his men n
rose up early to depart in the morning,
to return into the land of the Philistines.
And the Philistines went up to 'Jezreel.
And it came to pass, when David and
his men were come to ^^Ziklag on the
third day, that the ^JAmalekites had in-
vaded the south, and Ziklag, and smit-
2 ten Ziklag, and burnt it with fire; and
had taken the women captives, that
were therein: they slew not any, either
great or small, but carried them away,
3 and went on their way. So David and
his men came to the city, and behold, it
was burnt with fire; and their wives,
and their sons, and their daughters, were
4 taken captives. Then David and the
people that 7vcre with him lift up their
voice and wept, until they had no more
5 power to weep. And David's ^two wives
were taken captives. Ahinoam the Jez-
reelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal
6 the Carmelite. And David was greatly
distressed; ''for the people spake of ston-
ing him, because the soul of all the peo-
ple was 'grieved, every man for his sons
and for his daughters: but <^ David en-
couraged himself in the Lord his God.
7 And David said to ^Abiathar the priest,
Ahimelech's son, I pray thee, bring me
hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought
8 thither the ephod to David. And sDa-
vid inquired at the Lord, sajnng. Shall
I pursue after this ''troop? shall I over-
take them? And he answered him, Pur-
sue : for thou shalt surely overtake them^
9 and without fail recover all. So David
went, he and 'the si.x hundred men that
li'ere with him, and came to the J brook
Besor, where those that were left behind
10 stayed. But David pursued, he and
four hundred men: for two hundred
abode behind, which were so faint that
they could not go over the ' brook Besor.
11 And they found an Egyptian in the
field, and brought him to David, and
gave him bread, and he did eat; and
12 they made him drink water; and they
gave him a piece of ''a cake of fys, and
two clusters of raisins : and when he had
eaten, 'his spirit came again to him: for
he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any
J3 water, three days and three night.s. And
David said unto him. To whom belongest
thou? and whence art thou? And he
said, I am a young man of Egypt, ser-
vant to an Amalekite; and my master
left me, because three days agone I fell
14 sick. We made an invasion upon the
south of ""the Cherethites, and upon the
coast which belongeth to Judah, and upon
the south of "Caleb; and we burnt
15 Ziklag with fire. And David said to
him, Canst thou bring me down to this
company? And he said. Swear unto me
by God, that thou wilt neither kill me,
nor deliver me into the hands of my

master, and I will bring thee down to
this company. And when he had brought i6
him down, behold they iocre spread a-
broad upon all the earth, eating and
drinking, and dancing, because of all the
great spoil that they had taken out of
the land of the Philistines, and out of the
land of Judah. And David smote them 17
from the twilight even unto the evening
of 'the next day: and there escaped not
a man of them, save four hundred young
men, which rode upon "camels, and fled.
And David p recovered all that the 18
Amalekites had carried away : and David
rescued his two wives. And there was 19
notliing lacking to them, neither small
nor great, neither sons nor daughters, nei-
ther spoil, nor any t/iing that they had
taken to them : David recovered all.
And David took all the flocks and the 20
herds, which they drave before those other
cattle, and said, iThis is David's spoil.
And David came to the 'two hun-21
dred men, which were so faint that they
could not follow David, whom they had
made also to abide at the J brook Besor:
and they went forth to meet David, and
to meet the people that were with him:
and when David came near to the peo-
ple, he ' saluted them. Then answered 22
all the wicked men and ^/iicn of Belial,
of 'those that went with David, and
said. Because they went not with us, we
will not give them ought of the spoil that
we have recovered, save to every man
his wife and his children, that they may
lead them away, and depart. Then said 23
David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren,
with that which the Lord hath given us,
who hath preserved us, and delivered the
company that came against us into our
hand. For who will hearken unto you in 24
this matter? but 'as his part is that goeth
down to the battle, so shall his part be
"that tarrieth by the stuff: they shall part
alike. And it was so from that day 25
•forward, that he made it a statute and
an ordinance for Israel unto this day.
And when David came to Ziklag, he 26
sent of the spoil unto the elders of Ju-
. dah, even to his friends, saying. Behold a
'present for you of the spoil of the ene-
mies of the Lord; to them which ^vere^^
in "Beth- el, and to them which were in
^ south Ramoth, and to them which were
in yjattir, and to them which were in 28
^Aroer, and to them\\\\\c\v were in »Siph-

Now ^the Philistines fought against Is- ^ ^■^■^'■

NOW it came to pass after the death
of Saul, when David was returned
from *the slaughter of the Amalekites,
and David had abode two days in Zik-
lag; it came even to pass on the third 2
day, that behold, ""a man came out of
the camp from Saul '^with his clothes
rent, and ''earth upon his head: and so
it was, when he came to David, that he
fell to the earth, and did obeisance.
And David said unto him, '^From whence 3
comest thou? And he said unto him.
Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.
And David said imto him, *How went 4
the matter? I pray thee, tell me. And
he answered. That the people are fled
from the battle, and many of the people
also are fallen and dead; and Saul and
Jonathan his son are dead also. And 5
David said unto the young man that
told him, How knowest thou that Saul
and Jonathan his son be dead? And 6
the young man that told him said, As I
happened by chance upon mount Gil-
boa, behold, fSaul leaned upon his spear;
and lo, the chariots and horsemen fol-
lowed hard after him. And when he 7
looked behind him, he saw me, and call-
ed unto me. And I answered, -'Here
am I. And he said unto me, Who ati s
thou? And I answered him, I am an
Amalekite. He said unto me again, 9
Stand, I pray thee, upon me, and slay
me: for 'anguish is come upon me, be-
cause my life is yet whole in me. So 1 10
stood upon him, and slew him, because
I was sure that he could not live after
that he was fallen : and I took sthe crowTi
that 7iHis upon his head, and ''the brace-
let that was on his arm, and have brought
them hither unto my lord. Then David n
took hold on his clothes, and "^rent them;
and likewise all the men that 7aere with
IS him : and they mourned, and wept, and
fasted until even, for Saul, and for Jo-
nathan his son, and for the people of
the Lord, and for the house of Israel ;
because they were fallen by the sword.
13 And David said unto the young man
that told him. Whence aii thou? And
he answ'ered, I am the son of a stranger,
14 an Amalekite. And David said unto him,
How wast thou not 'afraid to ■■ stretch
forth thine hand to destroy ''the Lord's
15 anointed? And 'David called one of
the young men, and said, Go near, a>id
fall upon him. And he smote him that
i6 he died. And David said unto him,
■"Thy blood be upon thy head; for "thy
mouth hath testified against tiiee, saying,
I have slain ''the Lord's anointed.
17 And David "lamented with this la-
mentation over Saul and over Jonathan
18 his son: (also he bade t/wm teach the
children of Judah the use of p t/ic bow:
behold, // is written in the book "of Ja-
sher.)
19 The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy
high places:
■iHow are the mighty fallen!
20 ''Tell // not in Gath,
Publish // not in the streets of ^Aske-
lon:
Lest the daughters of the Philistines
'rejoice,
Lest the daughters of "the uncircum-
cised triumph.
21 Ye "mountains of Gilboa, /<•/ t/iere be
no dew,
Neither let- there be rain upon you,
nor fields of offerings :
For there the shield of the mighty is
vilely cast away.
The shield of Saul, as though he had

From the fat of the mighty,

And the sword of Saul returned not

Saul and Jonathan u^crc lovely
'pleasant in their lives,
And in their death they were
divided :
They were ^swifter than eagles,
They were ^stronger than lions.
Ye daughters of Israel, weep over 24
Saul,
Who clothed you in scarlet, with
other delights,
Who put on •'ornaments of gold upon

How are the mighty fallen in the 25

0 Jonathan, thou luast slain in thine

1 am distressed for thee, my brother 26
Jonathan ;
Very pleasant hast thou been unto
me :
•^Thy love to me was wonderful,
Passing the love of women.
'^How are the mighty fallen, 27
And the weapons of war perished !
And it came to pass after this, that
David ^'inquired of the Lord, saying.
Shall I go up into any of the cities of
Judah? And the Lord said unto him.
Go up. And David said. Whither shall
I go up? And he said. Unto ''Hebron.
So David went up thither, and his "^two 2
wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess,
and Abigail Nabal's wife the Carmelite.
And ''his men that were with him did 3
David bring up, every man with his
household: and they dwelt in the cities
of Hebron. 'And the men of Judah 4
came, and there they anointed David
king over the house of Judah. And
they told David, saying, 77/(7/ the men
of fjabesh-gilead were they that buried
Saul. And David sent messengers unto ;
the men of fjabesh-gilead, and said un-
to them, g Blessed be ye of the Lord,
that ye have shewed this kindness unto
)'our lord, even unto Saul, and have
buried him. And now '•the Lord shew 6
kindness and truth unto you: and I also
will requite you this kindness, because
ye have done this thing. Therefore now 7
let your hands lie strengthened, and 'be
ye valiant : for your master Saul is dead,
and also the house of Judah have
anointed me king over them. But 'Ab- 8
ner the son of Ner, captain of 'Saul's
host, took 'Ish-bosheth the son of Saul,
and brought him over to ^Mahanaim;
9 and he made him king over ''Gilead, and
over the ''Ashurites, and over 'Jezreel,
and over '^ Ephraim, and over "^ Benjamin,
10 and over all Israel. Ish-bosheth Saul's
son -was forty years old when he began
to reign over Israel, and reigned two
years. But the house of Judah follow-
11 ed David. And the 'time that David
was king in ''Hebron over the house of
Judah was seven years and six months.
12 And Abner the son of Ner, and the
servants of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul,
went out from Malianaim to "'Gibeon.
13 And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the
servants of David, went out, and met
'together by "the pool of Gibeon: and
they sat down, the one on the one side
of the pool, and the other on the other
14 side of the pool. And Abner said to
Joab, Let the young men now arise,
and play before us. And Joab said,
15 Let them arise. Then there arose and
went over by number twelve of Benja-
min, which pertained to Ish-bosheth the
son of Saul, and twelve of the sen-ants
16 of David. And they caught ever)' one
his fellow by the head, and thrust his
sword in his fellow's side; so they fell
down together: wherefore that place was
called "Helkath-hazzurim, which is in
17 Gibeon. And there was a very sore
battle that day; and Abner was beaten,
and the men of Israel, before the ser-
isvants of David. And there were "three
sons of Zeruiah there, Joab, and Abi-
shai, and Asahel: and Asahel ivas vas
ig light 'of foot 'las a wild roe. And
Asahel pursued after Abner ; and in
going he turned not to the right hand
nor to the left 'from following Abner.
20 Then Abner looked behind him, and
said, Art thou Asahel? And he answer-
21 ed, I a/n. And Abner said to him,
Turn thee aside to thy right hand or to
thy left, and lay thee hold on one of
the young men, and take thee his "ar-
mour. But Asahel would not turn aside
22 from following of him. And Abner said
again to Asahel, Turn thee aside from
following me: "■ wherefore should I smite
thee to the ground? how then should I
hold up my face to Joab thy brother?
23Howbeit he refused to turn aside:
wherefore Abner with the hinder end of
the spear smote him '^under the fifth
rib, that the spear came out behind

him; and he fell down there, and died
in the same place: and it came to pass,
that as many as came to the place
where Asahel fell down and died stood
still. Joab also and Abishai pursued 24
after Abner: and the sun went down
when they were come to the hill of
Ammah, that lictk before Giah by the
way of the wilderness of Gibeon. And 25
the children of Benjamin gathered them-
selves together after Abner, and became
one troop, and stood on the top of a
hill. Then Abner called to Joab, and 26
said. Shall the sword devour for ever?
knowest thou not that it will be bitter-
ness in the latter end? how long shall
it be then, ere thou bid the people
return from following their brethren ?
And Joab said. As God liveth, unless 27
'thou hadst spoken, surely then 'in the
morning the people had 'gone up every
one from following his brother. So 28
Joab blew a trumpet, and all the people
stood still, and pursued after Israel no
more, neither fought they any more.
And Abner and his men walked all 29
that night through the plain, and passed
over Jordan, and went throjigh all "Bi-
thron, and they came to ''Mahanaim.
And Joab returned from following Ab- 30
ner: and when he had gathered all the
people together, there lacked of David's
servants nineteen men and Asahel. But 31
the servants of David had smitten of
Benjamin, and of Abner's men, so that
three hundred and threescore men died.
And they took up Asahel, and buried 32
him in the sepulchre of his father, which
was in Beth-lehem. And vjoab and his
men went all night, and they came to
Hebron at break of day.
Now there was long war between the
house of Saul and the house of David :
but David waxed stronger and stronger,
and the house of Saul waxed wealcer
and weaker. And ^unto David were 2
sons born in Hebron: and his firstborn
was Amnon, ''of Ahinoam the Jezreel-
itess; and his second, 'Chileab, of Abi- 3
gail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite;
and the third, Absalom the son of Maa-
cah the daughter of Talmai king <=of
Geshur; and the fourth, ''Adonijah the 4
son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shepha^
tiah the son of Abital; and the sixth, 5
Ithream, by Eglah David's wife. These
were born to David in Hebron.
And it came to pass, while there was 6
war between the house of Saul and the
house of David, that Abner made him-
7 self strong for the house of Saul. And
Saul had a concubine, whose name was
<=Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah: and Ish-
boshdh said to Abner, Wherefore hast
thou fgone in unto my father's concu-
8 bine? Then was Abner very wToth for
the words of Ish-bosheth, and said, Am
I Ba dog's head, which against Judah do
shew kindness this day unto the house
of Saul thy father, to his brethren, and
to his friends, and have not delivered
thee into the hand of David, that thou
chargest me to day with a fault con-
9cerning this woman? ''So do God to
Abner, and more also, except, 'as the
Lord hath sworn to David, even so I
10 do to him; to translate the kingdom
from the house of Saul, and to set up
the throne of David over Israel and
over Judah, ''from Dan even to Beer-
11 sheba. And he could not answer Ab-
ner a word again, because he feared
him.
12 And Abner sent messengers to David
on his behalf, saying, M'hose is the land?
saying also, Make thy league with me,
and behold, my hand shall be with thee,
13 to bring about all Israel unto thee. And
he said. Well; I will make a league with
thee: but one thing I require of thee,
'that is, 'Thou shalt not see my face,
except thou first bring ""Michal Saul's
daughter, when thou comest to see my
14 face. And David sent messengers to
Ish-bosheth Saul's son, saying. Deliver
me my wife Michal, which I espoused
to me "for an hundred foreskins of the
15 Philistines. And Ish-bosheth sent, and
took her from her husband, eveti from
i6°Phaltiel the son of Laish. And her
husband went with her 'along weeping
behind her to PBahurim. Then said
Abner unto him. Go, return. And he
17 returned. And Abner had communica-
tion with the elders of Israel, saying.
Ye sought for David 'in times past to
18 be king over you: now then do it: ifor
the Lord hath spoken of David, saying,
By the hand of my ser\'ant David I will
save my people Israel out of the hand
of the Philistines, and out of the hand
19 of all their enemies. And Abner also
spake in the ears of ■'Benjamin: and
Abner went also to speak in the ears of
David in Hebron all that seemed good
to Israel, and that seemed good to the
20 whole house of Benjamin. So Abner
came to Da\'id to Hebron, and twenty

men with him. And David made Ab-
ner and the men that were with him a
feast. And Abner said unto David, 1 21
will arise and go, and will gather all
Israel unto my lord the king, ^that they
may make a league with thee, and that
thou mayest 'reign over all that thine
heart desireth. And David sent Abner
away; and he went in peace.
And behold, the servants of David 22
and Joab came from pursuing a troop,
and brought in a great spoil with them :
but Abner ^uas not with David in Heb-
ron; for he had sent him away, and he
was gone in peace. When Joab and 23
all the host that ivas with him were
come, they told Joab, saying, Abner the
son of Ner came to the king, and he
hath sent him away, and he is gone in
peace. Then Joab came to the king, 24
and said. What hast thou done? behold,
Abner came unto thee; why is it that
thou hast 'sent him away, and he is
quite gone? Thou knowest Abner the 25
son of Ner, that he came to deceive
thee, and to know "thy going out and
thy coming in, and to know all that
thou doest. And when Joab was come 26
out from David, he sent messengers
after Abner, which brought him again
from the well of Sirah : but David knew
if not. And when Abner was returned 27
to Hebron, Joab "took him aside in the
gate to speak with him "quietly, and smote
him there "> under the fifth rib, that he
died, for the blood of Asahel his brother.
And afterward when David heard //, 28
he said, I and my kingdom are guiltless
before the Lord for ever from the ' blood
of Abner the son of Ner: ^let it rest 29
on the head of Joab, and on all his fa-
ther's house; and let there not 'fail
from the house of Joab one ^\ha.X hath
an issue, or •'that is a leper, or that
leaneth on "=a staff, or that falleth on the
sword, or that lacketh bread. So Joab 30
and Abishai his brother slew Abner, be-
cause he had slain their brother '^Asa-
hel at Gibeon in the battle.
And David said to Joab, and to all 31
the people that loere with him, ''Rent
your clothes, and fgird you with sack-
cloth, and mourn before Abner. And
king David himself followed the 'bier.
And they buried Abner in Hebron 132
and the king lift up his voice, and
wept at the grave of Abner; and all the
people wept. And the king e lamented 33
over Abner, and said.
Died Abner as a ''fool dieth?
34 Thy hands were not bound.
Nor thy feet put into fetters:
As (7 man falleth before 'wicked men,
so fellest thou.
And all the people wept again over
35 him. And when all the people came
'to cause David to eat meat while it
was yet day, David sware, saying, 'So
do God to me, and more also, if I taste
bread, or ought else, '^till the sun be
36 down. And all the people took notice
of it, and it 'pleased them: as whatso-
ever the king did, 'pleased all the people.
37 For all the people and all Israel under-
stood that day that it was not of the
king to slay Abner the son of Ner.
38 .^nd the king said unto his servants.
Know ye not that there is a prince and
a great man fallen this day in Israel?
39 And I am this day 'weak, though an-
ointed king; and these men 'the sons of
Zeruiah "^be too hard for me: "the Lord
shall reward the doer of evil according
to his wickedness.
And when Saul's son heard that Ab-
ner was dead in Hebron, "his hands
were feeble, and all the Israelites were
2 troubled. And Saul's son had two men
that were captains of bands: the name
of the one" was Baanah, and the name
of the 'other Rechab, the sons of Rim-
mon a Beerothite, of the children of
Benjamin: (for ''Beeroth also was reck-
3 oned to Benjamin : and the Beerothites
■^fled to ''Gittaim, and were sojourners
4 there until this day.) And ''Jonathan,
Saul's son, had a son that 7vas lame of
his feet, and was fi\-e years old when
the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan
fout of Jezreel, and his nurse took him
up, and fled: and it came to pass, as
she made haste to flee, that he fell, and
became lame. And his name was "Me-
5 phibosheth. And the sons of Rimmon
the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah,
went, and came about the heat of the
day to the house of Ish-bosheth, who
6 lay on a bed at noon. And they came
thither into the midst of the house, as
though they would have fetched wheat;
and they smote him sunder the fifth
7-ib: and Rechab and Baanah his bro-
7 ther escaped. For when they came into
the house, he lay on his bed in his bed-
chamber, and they smote him, and slew
him, and beheaded him, and took his
head, and gat them away through •'the
8 plain all night. And they brought the

head of Ish-bosheth unto David to Heb-
ron, and said to the king, Behold the
head of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul
thine enemy, 'which sought thy life; and
the Lord hath avenged my lord the
king this day of Saul, and of his seed.
And David answered Rechab and Ba- 9
anah his brother, the sons of Rimmon
the Beerothite, and said unto them, ■'.<4j'
the Lord liveth, ''who hath redeemed
my soul out of all adversity, 'when 10
one told me, saying. Behold, Saul is
dead, 'thinking to have brought good
tidings, I took hold of him, and slew
him in Ziklag, 'who tkouf^ht that I would
■ have given him a reward for his tidings :
how much more, when wicked men n
have slain a righteous person in his own
house upon his bed? shall I not there-
fore now ""require his blood of your
hand, and take you away from the
earth? And David commanded his i^
"3'oung men, and they slew them, and
cut off their hands and their feet, and
hanged them up over the pool in Heb-
ron. But they took the head of Ish-bo-
sheth, and buried it in the "sepulchre
of Abner in Hebron.
Then •''came all the tribes of Israel
to David unto Hebron, and spake, say-
ing. Behold, ^ we are thy bone and thy
flesh. Also in time past, when Saul 2
was king over us, '^thou wast he that
leddest out and broughtest in Israel:
and the Lord said to thee, •'Thou shalt
feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be
a captain over Israel. So all the elders 3
of Israel came to the king to '^ Hebron ;
fand king David made a league with
them in Hebron sbefore the Lord : and
they anointed David king over Israel.
David was thirty years old when he be- 4
gan to reign, ^and he reigned forty
years. In Hebron he reigned over Ju- 5
dah 'seven years and si.x months: and
in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three
years over all Israel and Judah.
And the king and his men went ^to 6
Jerusalem unto 'the Jebusites, the in-
habitants of the land : which spake unto
David, saying, E.\cept thou take away
the blind and the lame, thou shalt not
come in hither: "thinking, David cannot
come in hither. Nevertheless David 7
took the strong hold of Zion : ""the same
is the city of David. And David said s
on that day. Whosoever getteth up to
"the gutter, and smiteth the Jebusites,
and the lame and the blind, that are
hated of David's soul, °he shall be chief
anil captain. 'Wherefore they said. The
blind and the lame shall not come into
9 the house. So David dwelt in the fort,
and called it the city of David. And
David built round about from PMillo
10 and inward. And David *went on, and
grew great, and the Lord God of hosts
11 was with him. lAnd 'Hiram king of
Tyre sent messengers to David, and
cedar trees, and carpenters, and 'masons :
12 and they built David a house. And
David perceived that the Lord had
established him king over Israel, and
that ^he had e.valted his kingdom for
his people Israel's sake.
13 And 'David took him "mo concu-
bines and wives out of Jerusalem, after
he was come from Hebron : and there
were yet sons and daughters born to
14 David. And these ie the names of
those that were bom unto him in Je-
rusalem; 'Shammua, and Shobab, and
15 Nathan, and Solomon, Ibhar also, and
i6'Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia, and
Elishama, and "Eliada, and Eliphalet.
17 But when the Philistines heard that
they had anointed David king over Is-
rael, all the Philistines came up to seek
David; and David heard 0/ it, "and
18 went down to the hold. The Philis-
tines also came and ^spread themselves
19 in J'the valley of Rephaim. And David
^inquired of the Lord, saying. Shall I
go up to the Philistines? wilt thou deli-
ver them into mine hand? And the
Lord said unto David, Go up: for I
will doubtless deliver the Philistines in-
20 to thine hand. And David came to
"Baal-perazim, and David smote them
there, and said. The Lord hath broken
forth upon mine enemies before me,
as the breach of waters. Therefore he
called the name of that place 'Baal-pe-
21 razim. And there they left their images,
and David and his men ''■burnt them.
22 And the Philistines came up yet again,
and ^spread themselves in the valley of
23 Rephaim. And when "David inquired
of the Lord, he said. Thou shalt not
go up ; Imt fetch a compass behind
them, and come upon them over against
24 the mulberry trees. And let it be, when
thou ''hearest the sound of a going in
the tops of the mulberry trees, that then
thou shalt bestir thyself: for then "shall
the Lord go out before thee, to smite
25 the host of the Philistines. And David
did so, as the Lord had commanded

him ; and smote the Philistines from
" Geba until thou come to fGazer.
Again, David gathered together all
the chosen mai of Israel, thirty thou-
sand. And ^ David arose, and went 2
with all the people that were with him
from 'Baale of Judah, to bring up from
thence the ark of God, "whose name is
called by the name of the Lord of hosts
t' that dwelleth bdu'een the cherubims.
And they 'set the ark of God '^upon a 3
new cart, and brought it out of the
house of Abinadab that 7C'as in "Gibeah :
and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abi-
nadab, drave the new cart. And they 4
brought it out of '^the house of Abi-
nadab which zaas at Gibeah, 'accom-
panying the ark of God : and Ahio went
before the ark. And David and all the s
house of Israel played before the Lord
on all manner of instruments made of
fir wood, =even on harps, and on psal-
teries, and fon timbrels, and on cornets,
and Son cymbals. And when they came 6
to 'Nachon's threshingfloor, Uzzah ''put
forth '^his hand to the ark of God, and
took hold of it; for the oxen "shook it.
And the anger of the Lord was kindled ^
against Uzzah; and -iGod smote him
there for his "error; and there he died
by the ark of God. And David was 8
displeased, because the Lord had 'made
a breach upon Uzzah: and he called
the name of the place "Perez-uzzah to
this day. And David was afraid of the 9
Lord that day, and said, ''How shall
the ark of the Lord come to me .^ So 10
David would not remove the ark of the
Lord unto him into the city of David :
but David carried it aside into the house
of Obed-edom 'the Gittite. And then
ark of the Lord continued in the house
of Obed-edom the Gittite three months :
and '"the Lord blessed Obed-edom, and
all his household.
And it was told king David, saying, 12
The Lord hath blessed the house of
Obed-edom, and all 'CniA pertaincth unto
him, because of the ark of God. "So
David went and brought up the ark of
God from the house of Obed-edom into
the city of David with gladness. And 13
it was so, that when °they that bare
the ark of the Lord had gone six paces,
he sacrificed Poxen and fatlings. And 14
David 1 danced before the Lord with
all his might; and David 2ms girded
^7tnth a linen ephod. So David and 15
all the house of Israel brought up the
ark of the Lord with shouting, and
16 with the sound of the trumpet. And
as the ark of the Lord came into the
city of David, Michal Saul's daughter
^ looked through a window, and saw
king David leaping and dancing before
the Lord; and she despised him in her
17 heart. And 'they brought in the ark
of the Lord, and set it in "his place,
in the midst of the "tabernacle that Da-
vid had ' pitched for it : and David
"offered burnt offerings and peace of-
isferings before the Lord. And as soon
as David had made an end of offering
burnt offerings and peace offerings, *he
blessed the people in the name of the
19 Lord of hosts. And he dealt among
all the people, even among the whole
multitude of Israel, as well to the wo-
men as men, to every one a cake of
bread, and a good piece of flesh, and
a flagon of wine. vSo all the people
20 departed every one to his house. >'Then
David returned to bless his household.
And Michal the daughter of .Saul came
out to meet David, and said. How glo-
rious was the king of Israel to day, who
=^ uncovered himself to day in the eyes
of the handmaids of his servants, as
one of the ^vain fello^vs "shamelessly
2iuncovereth himself! And David said
unto Michal, It was before the Lord,
•> which chose me before thy father, and
before all his house, to appoint me
ruler over the people of the Lord, over
Israel: therefore '^will I play before the
22 Lord. And I will yet be more vile
than thus, and will be base in mine
own sight : and " of the maidservants
which thou hast spoken of, of them
23 shall I be had in honour. Therefore
Michal the daughter of Saul had no
child unto the day of her death.
And it came to pass, •'•when the king
sat in his house, and the Lord had
given him rest round about from all his
2 enemies; that the king said unto ''Na-
than the prophet. See now, I dwell in
■^a house of cedar, but the ark of God
3 dwelleth within ''curtains. And Nathan
said to the king. Go, do all that is "=in
thine heart; for the Lord is with thee.
4 And it came to pass that night, that
the word of the Lord came unto Na-
5 than, saying. Go and tell 'my servant
David, Thus saith the Lord, 'Shalt thou
build me a house for me to dwell in?

children of Israel out of Egypt, even to
this day, but have walked in *'a tent
and in a tabernacle. In all //le places 7
wherein I have 'walked with all the chil-
dren of Israel spake I a word with 'any
of the tribes of Israel, whom I com-
manded ''to feed my people Israel, say-
ing, Why build ye not me a house of
cedar? Now therefore so shalt thou say s
unto my servant David, Thus saith the
Lord of hosts, 'I took thee from "the
sheepcote, 'from following the sheep, to
be ruler over my people, over Israel:
and " I was with thee whithersoever thou 9
wentest, and have cut off all thine ene-
mies *out of thy sight, and have made
thee °a great name, like unto the name
of the great men that are in the earth.
Moreover I will appoint a place for my 10
people Israel, and will Pplant them, that
they may dwell in a place of their own,
and imove no more; neither shall the
children of wickedness afflict them any
more, as beforetime, and as ■'since then
time that I commanded judges to be over
my people Israel, and have ^caused thee
to rest from all thine enemies. Also the
Lord telleth thee 'that he will make
thee a house. And "when thy days be i:
fulfilled, and thou ^shalt sleep with thy
fathers, vl will set up thy seed after
thee, which shall proceed out of thy
bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.
^He shall build a house for my name, 13
and I will Establish the throne of his
kingdom for ever. ''I will be his fa- 14
ther, and he shall be my son. If
he <^commit iniquity, I will chasten him
with the rod of men, and with the
stripes of the children of men : but my 15
mercy shall not depart away from him,
''as I took it from Saul, whom I put
away before thee. And thine house 16
and thy kingdom shall be stablished for
ever before thee: ^thy throne shall be
stablished for ever. According to all 17
these words, and according to all this
fvision, so did Nathan speak unto David.
Then went king David in, and sat be- 18
fore the Lord, and he said, sWho am I,
O Lord God? and what is my house,
that thou hast brought me hitherto?
And this was yet a small thing in thy 19
sight, O Lord God; but thou hast spok-
en also of thy servant's house for a great
while to come. ''And is this the 'man-
ner of man, O Lord God? And what 20
can David say more unto thee? for thou.
Lord God, 'knowest thy servant. For 21
thy word's sake, and according to thine
own heart, hast thou done all these
great things, to make thy servant know
■ them. Wherefore Jthou art great, O
Lord God : for ^ there is none like thee,
neither is there any God beside thee, ac-
cording to all that we have heard with
23 our ears. And 'what one nation in the
earth is like thy people, n'cn like Israel,
whom God went to redeem for a people
to himself, and to make him a name,
and to do for you '"great things and terri-
ble, for thy land, before "thy people,
which thou redeemedst to thee from E-
g>'pt, //w« the nations and their gods?
24 For thou hast "confirmed to thyself thy
people Israel to be a people unto thee
for ever; and thou, Lord, art become
25 their God. And now, O Lord God, the
word that thou hast spoken concerning
thy servant, and concerning his house,
P establish it for ever, and do as thou
26 hast said. And let thy name be magni-
fied for ever, saying. The Lord of hosts
is the God over Israel : and let the house
of thy servant David be established be-
27 fore thee. For thou, O Lord of hosts,
God of Israel, hast 'revealed to thy ser-
vant, saying, I will build thee a Jiouse :
therefore hath thy ser\-ant found in his
heart to pray this prayer unto thee.
28 And now, O Lord God, thou art that
God, and ithy words be true, and thou
hast promised this goodness unto thy
29 servant: therefore now 'let it please thee
to bless the house of thy servant, that //
may continue for ever before thee: for
thou, O Lord God, hast spoken //.■ and
with thy blessing let the house of thy
servant be blessed ''for ever.
And "after this it came to pass, that
David smote the Philistines, and sub-
dued them: and David took 'Metheg-
ammah out of the hand of the Philis-
2 tines. And ''he smote Moab, and mea-
sured them with a line, casting them
down to the ground; even with two lines
measured he to put to death, and with
one full line to keep alive. And so the
Moabites '^became David's servants, and
3 '' brought gifts. David smote also " Ha-
dadezer, the son of Rehob, king of ' Zo-
bah, as he went fto recover his border
4 at the river Euphrates. And David took
'from him a thousand '^chariots, and seven
hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand

8 tinually. And he bowed himself, and
said. What is thy servant, that thou
shouldest look upon such sa dead dog
gas I am? Then the king called to Ziba,
Saul's servant, and said unto him, I
have given unto thy master's son all
that pertained to Saul and to all his
10 house. Thou therefore, and thy sons,
and thy servants, shall till the land for
him, and thou shalt bring in the fruits,
that thy master's son may have food
to eat : but IMephibosheth thy master's
son •'shall eat bread alway at my table.
Now Ziba had 'fifteen sons and twenty
11 servants. Then said Ziba unto the king,
According to all that my lord the king
hath commanded his servant, so shall thy
servant do. As for Mephibosheth, '^said
the king, he shall eat at my table, as one
12 of the king's sons. And Mephibosheth
had a young son, 'whose name 7oas Mi-
cha. And all that dwelt in the house of
Ziba were servants unto Mephibosheth.
13 So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem;
for he did eat continually at the king's
table ; and loas lame on both his feet.
•■■And it came to pass after this, that
the king of the '^children of Ammon
died, and Hanun his son reigned in his
2 stead. Then said David, '=1 will shew
kindness unto Hanun the son of Na-
hash, as his father shewed kindness
unto me. And David sent to comfort

him by the hand of his servants for his
father. And David's servants came into
the land of the children of Amnion.
And the princes of the children of Am- 3
mon said unto Hanun their lord, 'Think-
est thou that David doth honour thy
father, that he hath sent comforters
unto thee? hath not David rather sent
his servants unto thee, to search the
city, and to spy it out, and to over-
throw it? Wherefore Hanun took Da- 4
vid's sen-ants, and shaved off the one
half of their beards, and cut off their
garments in the middle, ^even to their
buttocks, and sent them away. When 5
they told // unto David, he sent to meet
them, because the men were greatly
ashamed: and the king said. Tarry at
Jericho until your beards be grown, and
then return. And when the children of 6
Amnion saw that they <= stank before
David, the children of Ammon sent and
hired ^the Syrians of ffieth-rehob, and
sthe Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand
footmen, and of king ''Maacah a thou-
sand men, and of "Ish-tob twelve thou-
sand men. And when David heard of ^
it, he sent Joab, and all the host of ■
'the mighty men. And the children of s
Ammon came out, and put the battle
in array at the entering in of the gate:
and the Syrians of Zoba, and of Rehob,
and Ish-tob, and Maacah, were by them-
selves in the field. When Joab saw 9
that the front of the battle was against
him before and behind, he chose of all
the choice men of Israel, and put them
in array against the Syrians : and the 10
rest of the people he delivered into the
hand of Abishai his brother, that he
might put them in array against the
children of Ammon. And he said, Ifn
the Syrians be too strong for me, then
thou shalt help me: but if the children
of Ammon be too strong for thee, then
I will come and help thee. ■'Be of good 12
courage, and let us ''play the men for
our people, and for the cities of our
God: and 'the Lord do that which
seemeth him good. And Joab drew 13
nigh, and the people that were with
him, unto the battle against the Syrians :
and they fled before him. And when 14
the children of Amnion saw that the
Syrians were fled, then fled they also
before '" Abishai, and entered into the
city. So Joab returned from the chil-
dren of Amnion, and came to Jerusalem.
And when the SjTians saw that they 15
were smitten before Israel, they ga-
i6thered themselves together. And "Ha-
darezer sent, and brought out the Sy-
rians that were beyond "the river: and
they came to Helam; and 'Shobach the
captain of the host of Hadarezer loent
17 before them. And when it was told
David, he gathered all Israel together,
and passed over Jordan, and came to
Helam. And the Syrians set themselves
in array against David, and fought with
ishim. And the Syrians fled before Is-
rael; and David slew ° the men of seven
p hundred chariots of the Syrians, and
forty thousand 'horsemen, and smote
Shobach the captain of their host, who
19 died there. And when all the kings
tliat were servants to Hadarezer saw
that they were smitten before Israel,
they 1 made peace with Israel, and
■■ served them. So the Syrians feared to
help the children of Ammon any more.
And it came to pass, 'after the year
was expired, at the time when kings go
forth to battle, that David sent Joab,
and his ser\'ants with him, and all Is-
rael; and they destroyed ^the children
of Amnion, and besieged ''Rabbah. But
; David tarried still at Jerusalem. And
it came to pass in an eveningtide, that
David arose from oft" his bed, and walk-
ed upon '^the roof of the king's house:
and from the roof he saw a woman
washing herself ; and the woman was
3 very ''beautiful to look upon. And Da-
vid sent and inquired after the woman.
And one said. Is not this "Bath-sheba,
the daughter of 'Kliani, the wife of
4 Uriah the Hittite ? And David sent
messengers, and took her; and she
■^canie in unto him, and he lay with
her; 'for she was ''purified from her
uncleanness : and she returned unto her
5 house. And the woman conceived, and
sent and told David, and said, I am
6 with child. And David sent to Joab,
saying. Send me Uriah ^the Hittite.
7 And Joab sent Uriah to David. And
when Uriah was come unto him, David
demanded of him 'how Joab did, and
how the people did, and how the war
8 prospered. And David said to Uriah,
Go down to thy house, and ''wash thy
feet. And Uriah departed out of the
king's house, and there 'followed him
9 'a mess of meat from the king. But
Uriah slept at the door of the king's
house with all the servants of his lord,
10 and went not down to his house. And

when they had told David, saying,
Uriah went not down unto his house,
David said unto Uriah, Camest thou
not from thy journey? why then didst
thou not go down unto thine house?
And Uriah said unto David, ^The ark, n
and Israel, and Judah, abide in tents;
and my lord Joab, and ''the servants of
my lord, are encamped in the open
fields; shall I then go into mine house,
to eat and to drink, and to lie with my
wife? as thou livest, and ^as thy soul
liveth, I will not do this thing. And 12
David said to Uriah, Tarry here to day
also, and to morrow I will let thee
depart. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem
that day, and the morrow. And when 13
David had called him, he did eat and •
drink before him; and he made him
™ drunk: and at even he went out to
lie on his bed with the servants of
his lord, but went not down to his
house. And it came to pass in the 14
morning, that David wrote a letter to
Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah.
And he wrote in the letter, saying. Set 15
ye Uriah in the forefront of the 'hottest
battle, and retire ye *from him, that he
may "be smitten, and die. And it came 16
to pass, when Joab observed the city,
that he assigned Uriah unto a place
where he knew that valiant men ^ucre.
And the men of the city went out, 17
and fought with Joab: and there fell
some of the people of the servants of
David; and Uriah the Hittite died also.
Then Joab sent and told David all the is
things concerning the war; and charged 19
the messenger, saying. When thou hast
made an end of telling the matters of
the war unto the king, and if so be 20
that the king's wrath arise, and he say
unto thee. Wherefore approached ye so
nigh unto the city when ye did fight?
knew ye not that they would shoot
from the wall ? Who smote ° Abime- 21
lech the son of "Jerubbesheth? did not
a woman cast a piece of a millstone
upon him from the wall, that he died
in Thebez? why went ye nigh the wall?
then say thou, Thy servant Uriah the
Hittite is dead also. So the messenger 2=
went, and came and shewed David all
that Joab had sent him for. And the 23
messenger said unto David, Surely the
men prevailed against us, and came
out unto us into the field, and we were
upon them awn unto the entering of
the gate. And the shooters shot from 24
off the wall upon thy servants; and some
of the king's servants be dead, and thy
servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.
!5 Then David said unto the messenger.
Thus shalt thou say unto Joab, Let not
this thing 'displease thee, for the sword
devoureth * one as well as another :
make thy battle more strong against the
city, and overthrow it : and encourage
ih thou him. And when the wife of Uriah
heard that Uriah her husband was dead,
l^ she mourned for her husband. And
when the mourning was past, David
sent and fet her to his house, and she
P became his wife, and bare him a son.
But the thing that David had done
'displeased the Lord.
And the Lord sent ^Nathan unto
David. And he came unto him, and
said unto him, ''There were two men in
one city; the one rich, and the other
2 poor. The rich' wr?;/ had exceeding
3 many flocks and herds: but the poor
man had nothing, save one little ewe
lamb, which he had bought and nou-
rished up : and it grew up together with
him, and with his children; it did eat of
his own 'meat, and drank of his own
cup, and lay in his bosom, and was unto
4 him as a daughter. And there came
a traveller unto the rich man, and he
spared to take of his own flock and of
his own herd, to dress for the wayfaring
man that was come unto him ; but took
the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for
5 the man that was come to him. And
David's anger was greatly kindled a-
gainst the man; and he said to Nathan,
'^As the Lord liveth, the man that hath
6 done this thing "shall surely die: and
he shall restore the lamb ''fourfold, be-
cause he did this thing, and because he
7 had no pity. And Nathan said to Da-
vid, Thou art the man. Thus saith the
Lord God of Israel, I "^anointed thee
king over Israel, and I delivered thee
8 out of the hand of Saul; and I gave
thee thy master's house, and fthy mas-
ter's wives into thy bosom, and gave
thee the house of Israel and of Judah;
and if that had been too little, I would
moreover have given unto thee such and
9 such things. Wherefore hast thou sdes-
pised the commandment of the Lord,
to do evil in his sight? ''thou hast killed
Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and
hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and
hast slain him with the sword of the
10 children of Amnion. Now therefore

the sword shall never depart from thine
house, 'because thou hast despised me,
and hast taken the wife of Uriah the
Hittite to be thy wife. Thus saith the n
Lord, Behold, I will raise up evil a-
gainst thee out of thine own house, and
I will ''take thy wives before thine eyes,
and give them unto thy neighbour, and
he shall lie with thy wives in the sight
of this sun. For thou didst // secretly : 12
but I will do this thing before all Israel,
and before the sun. 'And David said 13
unto Nathan, ■"! have sinned against the
Lord. And Nathan said unto David,
The Lord also hath "put away thy sin;
thou shall not die. Howbeit, because 14
by this deed thou hast given great occa-
sion to the enemies of the Lord "to blas-
pheme, the child also that is born imto
thee shall surely die.
And Nathan departed unto his house. 15
And the Lord strake the child that Uriah's
wife bare unto David, and it was very sick.
David therefore besought God for the 16
child ; and David 'fasted, and went in, and
Play all night upon the earth. And the 17
elders of his house arose, and went to
him, to raise him up from the earth : but
he would not, neither did he eat bread
with them. And it came to pass on the 18
seventh day, that the child died. And
the servants of David feared to tell him
that the child was dead : for they said,
Behold, while the child was yet alive,
we spake unto him, and he would not
hearken unto our voice: how will he
then *ve.\ himself, if we tell him that the
child is dead? But when David saw 19
that his servants whispered, David per-
ceived that the child was dead: there-
fore David said unto his servants, Is the
child dead? And they said. He is dead.
Then David arose from the earth, and 20
■J washed, and anointed himself, and
changed his apparel, and came into the
house of the Lord, and ■'worshipped:
then he came to his own house; and
when he required, they set bread before
him, and he did eat. Then said his ser-21
vants unto him. What thing is this that
thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep
for the child, ■li.ihik it 'was alive ; but when
the child was dead, thou didst rise and
eat bread. And he said. While the child 22
*ivas yet alive, I fasted and wept: ''for I
said. Who can tell rohether God will be
gracious to me, that the child may live?
But now he is dead, wherefore should I 23
fast? can I bring him back again? I shall
go to him, but 'he shall not return to me.
24 And David comforted Bathsheba his
wife, and went in unto her, and lay with
her: and "she bare a son, and ^he called
his name Solomon : and the Lord loved
25 him. And he sent by the hand of Na-
than the prophet ; and he called his name
'Jedidiah, because of the Lord.
26 And sjoab fought against =^Rabbah
of the children of Ammon, and took the
27 royal city. And Joab sent messengers
to David, and said, I have fought against
Rabbah, and have taken the city of wa-
2Sters. Now therefore gather the rest of
the people together, and encamp against
the city, and take it: lest I take the
city, and 'it be called after my name.
29 And David gathered all the people to-
gether, and went to Rabbah, and fought
30 against it, and took it. =>And he took
their king's crown from off his head, the
weight whereof 'was a talent of gold with
the precious stones: and it was set on
David's head. And he brought forth
the spoil of the city *in great abundance.
31 And he brought forth the people that
wwv therein, and ''put/'Av// under ■= saws,
and under harrows of iron, and under
axes of iron, and made them pass through
''the brickkiln: and thus did he unto all
the cities of the children of Ammon. So
David and all the people returned unto
Jerusalem.
And it came to pass after this, ■''that
Absalom the son of David had a fair
sister, whose name 7C'as ''Tamar; and
Amnon the son of David loved her.
2 And Amnon was so ve.xed, that he fell
sick for his sister Tamar; for she 'was a
virgin; and 'Amnon thought it hard for
3 him to do any thing to her. But Am-
non had a friend, whose name was Jo-
nadab, the son of "^Shimeah David's
brother: and Jonadab 'was a very subtil
4 man. And he said unto him. Why art
thou, being the king's son, 'lean 'from
day to day? wilt thou not tell me? And
Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar,
5 my brother Absalom's sister. And Jo-
nadab said unto him, Lay thee down on
thy bed, and make thyself sick: and
when thy father cometh to see thee, say
unto him, I pray thee, let my sister
Tamar come, and give me meat, and
dress the meat in my sight, that I may
6 see it, and eat // at her hand. So Am-
non lay down, and made himself sick:
and when the king was come to see him,
Amnon said unto the king, I pray thee,

21 in her brother Absalom's house. But
when king David heard of all these things,
22 he was very wroth. And Absalom spake
unto his brother Amnon "neither good » Gen. 24.50.
nor bad : for Absalom hated Amnon, be- ^ ''" ^*'
cause he had forced his sister Tamar.
23 And it came to pass after two full B.C. 1030.
years, that Absalom had Psheepshearers i-Cen. 31. -.g.
in Baal-hazor, which is beside Ephraim: i s^;,m! 25!^
and Absalom invited all the king's -sons. 3*-
24 And Absalom came to the king, and
said. Behold now, thy ser\'ant hath sheep-
shearers; let the king, I beseech thee,
and his servants go with thy servant.
25 And the king said to Absalom, Nay, my
son, let us not all now go, lest we be
chargeable unto thee. And he 1 pressed " V?r- ^7-

pray thee, let my brother Amnon go

27 ^Vhy should he go with thee? But Ab-
salom pressed him, that he let Amnon
and all the king's sons go with him.
28 Now Absalom had commanded his ser-

And it caxne to pass, as soon as he had 36
made an end of speaking, that behold,
the king's sons came, and hit up their
voice and wept ; and the king al.so and all
his servants wept *very sore. But Absa-37
lom fled, and went to ^Talmai, the son of
'Ammihud, king of Geshur. And David
mourned for his son every day. So Ab- 38
salom fled, and went to ^Geshur, and
was there three years. And the soul ofy^
king David 'longed logo forth unto Ab-
salom: for he was ''comforted concern-
ing Amnon, seeing he was dead.
Now Joab the son of Zeruiah per-
ceived that the king's heart k'(7j- =■ toward
Absalom. And Joab sent Lo ''Tekoah, 2
and fetcht thence a wise woman, and
said unto her, I pray thee, feign thyself
to be a mourner, and put on now
mourning apparel, and '^anoint not thy-
self with oil, but be as a woman that
had a long time mourned for the dead :
and come to the king, and speak on 3
this manner unto him. So Joab ''put
the words in her mouth. And when the 4
woman of Tekoah spake to the king, she
^fell on her face to the ground, and did
obeisance, and said, 'Help, O king.
And the king said unto her. What aileth 5
thee? And she answered, ^I am sin-

band is dead. And thy handmaid had 6
two sons, and they two strove together
in the field, and there loas 'none to part
them, but the one smote the other, and

man. Go to thine house, and I will give

and on my father's house : ''and the king

king said. Whosoever saith ought unto

brought Absalom to Jerusalem. And .-4
the king said, Let him turn to his own
house, and let him not see my face. So
Absalom returned to his own house, and
saw not the king's face.
'But in all Israel there was none to 25
be so much praised as Absalom for his
beauty: 5' from the sole of his foot even
to the crown of his head there was no
blemish in him. And when he ^polled 26
his head, (for it was ^at every year's end
that he polled it: because the hair was
heavy on him, therefore he polled it:)
he weighed the hair of his head at two
hundred shekels after the king's weight.
And ''unto Absalom there were born 27
three sons, and one daughter, whose
name Kms Tamar: she was '^a woman
of a fair countenance. So Absalom 2%
dwelt ''two full years in Jerusalem, and
saw not the king's face. Therefore Ab- 29
salom sent for Joab, to have sent him
to the king; but he would not come
to him: and when he sent again the
second time, he would not come. There- 30
fore he raid unto his servants. See,
Joab's field is 'near mine, and he hath
barley there ; go and set it on fire. And
Absalom's servants set the field on fire.
Then Joab arose, and came to Absa- 31
lorn unto his house, and said unto him,
Wherefore have thy servants set my
field on fire? And Absalom an.s\vered 32
Joab, Behold, I sent unto thee, saying.
Come hither, that I may send thee to
the king, to say. Wherefore am I come
from Geshur? it had been good for me
to have been there still: now therefore
let me see the king's face; and "^if there
be any iniquity in me, let him kill me.
So Joab came to the king, and told 33
him: and when he had called for Ab-
salom, he came to the king, and bowed
himself on his face to the ground before
the king : and the king f kissed Absa-
lom.
And it came to pass after this, that
Absalom =" prepared him chariots and
horses, and fifty men to run before him.
And Absalom rose up early, and stood 2
beside the way of the gate: and it was
so, that 7i'hen any man that had a con-
troversy 'came to the king for judg-
ment, then Absalom called unto him,
and said. Of what city art thou? And
he said, Thy servant is of one of the
tribes of Israel. And Absalom said 3
unto him. See, thy matters arc good
and right; but '^ there is no man deputed
4 of the king to hear thee. Absalom said
moreover, ''Oh that I were made judge
in the land, that every man which hath
any suit or cause might come unto me,
5 and I would do him justice. And it
was so, that when any man came nigh
to him to do him obeisance, he put forth
his hand, and took him, and kissed him.
6 .^nd on this manner did Absalom to all
Israel that came to the king for judg-
ment: so Absalom stole the hearts of
7 the men of Israel. And it came to
pass "^after forty years, that Absalom
said unto the king, I pray thee, let me
go and pay my vow, which I have
8 vowed unto the Lord, in Hebron. For
thy servant ^ vowed a vow = while I
abode at Geshur in Syria, saying, If the
Lord shall bring me again indeed to
Jerusalem, then I will serve the Lord.
9 And the king said unto him, fGo in
peace. So he arose, and went to He-
lobron. But Absalom sent spies through-
out all the tribes of Israel, saying, As
soon as ye hear the sound of the trum-
pet, then ye shall say, Absalom reigneth
11 in Hebron. And with Absalom went
two hundred men out of Jerusalem, that
were s called; and they went ''in their
simplicity, and they knew not any thing.
12 And Absalom sent yt>r 'Ahithophel the
Gilonite, J David's counseller, from his
city, even from ^ Giloh, while he of-
fered sacrifices. And the conspiracy
was strong; for the people 'increased
"■continually with Absalom.
13 And there came a messenger to Da-
vid, saying, "The hearts of the men of
14 Israel are after Absalom. And David
said unto all his servants that were with
him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us
"flee; for we shall not else escape from
Absalom : make speed to depart, lest he
overtake us suddenly, and * bring evil
upon us, and smite the city with the
15 edge of the sword. And the king's
servants said unto the king. Behold, thy
servants are ready to do whatsoever my
16 lord the king shall 'appoint. And the
king went forth, and all his household
'after him. And the king left Pten wo-
men, which were concubines, to keep
17 the house. And the king went forth,
and all the people after him, and tar-
isried in a place that was far off. And
all his servants passed on beside him;
and all <) the Cherethites, and all ■'the
Pelethites, and all the Gittites, si.\ hun-
dred men which came after him from

^Gath, passed on before the king. Then 19
said the king to ' Ittai the Gittite,
Wherefore goest thou also with us ?
return to thy place, and abide with the
king: for thou art a stranger, and also
"an exile. Whereas thou earnest hut ^a
yesterday, should I this day 'make thee
go up and down with us? seeing I go
"whither I may, return thou, and take
back thy brethren: mercy and truth be
with thee. And Ittai answered the king, 21
and said, '"As the Lord liveth, and as
my lord the king liveth, surely in what
place my lord the king shall be, whe-
ther in death or life, even there also
will thy servant be. And David said 22
to Ittai, Go and "pass over. And Ittai
the Gittite passed over, and all his men,
and all the little ones that were with
him. And all the country wept unlh 23
a loud voice, and all the people passed
over: the king also himself passed over
the y brook 'Kidron, and all the people
passed over, toward the way of the
^wilderness. And lo ^'Zadok also, and 24
all the Levites were with him, ''bearing
the ark of the covenant of God: and
"^they set down the ark of God; and
''Abiathar went up, until all the people
had done passing out of the city. And 15
the king said unto Zadok, Carry back
the ark of God into the city: if I shall
find favour in the eyes of the Lord,
he 'will bring me again, and shew me
both it, and fhis habitation: but if he 26
thus say, I have no s delight in thee;
behold, here am I, ''let him do to me
as seemeth good unto him. The king 27
said also unto Zadok the priest, Art
not thou a 'seer? return into the city
in peace, and ^ your two sons with you,
Ahimaaz thy son, and Jonathan the son
of Abiathar. See, I will tarry *= in the =8
plain of the wilderness, until there come
word from you to certify me. Zadok 29
therefore and Abiathar carried the ark
of God again to Jerusalem: and they
tarried there.
And David went up by the ascent of 30
mount Olivet, 'and wept as he went up,
and 'had his head covered, and he went
■" barefoot : and all the people that was
with him covered every man his head,
and they went up, "weeping as they
went up. And one told David, saying, 31
Ahithophel is among the conspirators
with Absalom. And David said, O
Lord, I pray thee, "turn the counsel
of Ahithophel into foolishness. And it 32
came to pass, that when David was
come to the top 0/ the mount, where he
worshipped God, behold, Hushai the
PArchite came to meet him iwith his
coat rent, and ■'earth upon his head:
33 unto whom David said. If thou passest
on with me, then thou shalt be *a
34 burden unto me : but if thou return to
the city, and say unto Absalom, 'I will
be thy servant, O king; as 1 have been
thy father's servant hitherto, so will I
now also be thy servant: then mayest
thou for me " defeat the counsel of Ahi-
35 thophel. And hast thou not there with
thee Zadok and Abiathar the priests?
therefore it shall be, that what thing
soever thou shalt hear out of the king's
house, "'thou shalt tell // to Zadok and
36 Abiathar the priests. Behold, they have
there "with them their two sons, Ahi-
maaz Zadok's son, and Jonathan Abi-
athar's son; and by them ye shall send
unto me every thing that ye can hear.
37 So y Hushai David's friend came into
the city, ^ and Absalom came into J eru-
salem.
And *when David was a little past
the top 0/ the hill, behold, ''Ziba the
servant of Mephibosheth met him, with
a couple of asses saddled, and upon
them two hundred loaves of bread, and
an hundred "^bunches of raisins, and an
hundred ''of summer fruits, and a bottle

= \Vhat meanest thou by these? And
Ziba said, The asses be for the king's
household to ride on; and the bread
and summer fruit for the young men
to eat; and the wine, that such as be
3 f faint in the wilderness may drink. And
the king said. And where is thy mas-
ter's son? sAnd Ziba said unto the
king. Behold, he abideth at Jerusalem:
for he said, To day shall the house of
Israel restore me the kingdom of my
4 father. Then said the ki.ig to Ziba,
Behold, thine are all that pertained unto
Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, 'I hum-

5 And when king David came to '■Ba-
hurini, behold, thence came out a man
of the family of the house of Saul,
whose name was 'Shimei, the son of
Gera: 'he came forth, and cursed still

David, and at all the servants of king
David: and all the people and all the

on his left. And thus said Shimei wlien ^
he cursed, Come out, come out, thou
'bloody man, and thou ''man of Belial:
the Lord 'hath returned upon thee ""all 8
the blood of the hou.se of Saul, in whose
stead thou hast reigned; and the Lord
hath delivered the kingdom into the
hand of Absalom thy son: and, 'behold,
thou art taken to thy mischief, because
thou art a bloody man. Then said 9
Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto the
king. Why should this "dead dog curse
my lord the king? let me go over, I
pray thee, and take off his head. And 10
the king said, "What have I to do with
you, Pye sons of Zeruiah? so let him
curse, because the Lord hath said unto
him, Curse David. Who shall then say,
AVherefore hast thou done so? And n
David said to Abishai, and to all his
servants. Behold, my son, which icame
forth of my bowels, seeketh my life:
how much more now may this Ben-
jamite do it] let him alone, and let him
curse; for the Lord hath bidden him.
■■It may be that the Lord '^will look on 12
mine "affliction, and that the Lord will
requite me good for his cursing this
day. And as David and his men went 13
by the way, Shimei went along on the
hill's side over against him, and cursed
as he went, and threw stones at him,
and 'cast dust. And the king, and all 14
the people that 7C'cre with him, came
weary, and refreshed themselves there.
And 'Absalom, and all the people 15
the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem,
and Ahithophel with him. And it came 16
to pass, when Hushai the "Archite, Da-
vid's friend, was come unto Absalom,
that Hushai said unto Absalom, 'God
save the king, God save the king. And 17
Absalom said to Hushai, Is this thy
kindness to thy friend? "why wentest
thou not with thy friend? And Hushai iS
said unto Absalom, Nay; but whom the
Lord, and this people, and all the men
of Israel, choose, his will I be, and
with him will I abide. And again, 19
^whom should I serve? should I not
serve in the presence of his son? as I
have served in thy father's presence, so
will I be in thy presence.
Then said Absalom to Ahithophel, 20
Give counsel among you what we shall
do. And Ahithophel said unto Absa-21
lom. Go in unto thy father's yconcu-
bines, which he hath left to keep the
house; and all Israel shall hear that
thou ^art abhorred of thy father: then
shall ^the hands of all that are with
=2 thee be strong. So they spread Absa-
lom a tent upon ''the top of the house;
and Absalom went in unto his father's
concubines <= in the sight of all Israel.
23 And the counsel of Ahithophel, which
he counselled in those days, was as
if a man had inquired at the • oracle
of God : so iLias all the counsel of
Ahithophel <^both vk'ith David and with
Absalom.
Moreover Ahithophel said unto Ab-
salom, Let me now choose out twelve
thousand men, and I will arise and
2 pursue after David this night : and I
will come upon him while he is ^weary
and weak handed, and will make him
afraid: and all the people that (7;r with
him shall flee; and I will smite the king
3 only: and I will bring back all the
people unto thee: the man whom thou
seekest is as if all returned: so all the
4 people shall be in peace. And the say-
ing 'pleased Absalom well, and all the
5 elders of Israel. Then said Absalom,
Call now ''Hushai the Archite also, and
let us hear likewise ' what he saith.
6 And when Hushai was come to Absa-
lom, Absalom spake unto him, saying,
Ahithophel hath spoken after this man-
ner: shall we do after his 'saying? if
7 not ; speak thou. And Hushai said
unto Absalom, The counsel that Ahi-
thophel hath 'given is not good at this
8 time. For, (said Hushai,) thou know-
est thy father and his men, that they
he mighty men, and they be 'chafed in
their minds, as "^a bear robbed of her
whelps in the field: and thy father is
a man of war, and will not lodge with
9 the people. Behold, he is hid now in
some pit, or in some other place: and it
will come to pass, when some of them
be 'overthrown at the first, that who-
soever heareth it will say. There is a
slaughter among the peoi)le that follow
10 Absalom. And he also that is valiant,
whose heart is as the heart of a lion,
shall utterly ''melt: for all Israel know-
eth that thy father is a mighty man, and
they which be with him are valiant men.
11 Therefore I counsel that all Israel be
generally gathered unto thee, <=from Dan
even to Beer-sheba, fas the sand that is
by the sea for multitude; and Uhat thou
12 go to battle in thine own person. So
shall we come upon him in some place
where he shall be found, and we icill

ground : and of him and of all the men
that are with him there shall not be left
so much as one. IMoreover, if he be 13
gotten into a city, then shall all Israel
bring ropes to that city, and we will
draw it into the river, until there be not
one ssmall stone found there. And Ab- 14
salom and all the men of Israel said,
The counsel of Hushai the Archite is
better than the counsel of Ahithophel.
For the Lord had 'appointed ''to de-
feat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to
the intent that the Lord might bring
evil upon Absalom.
'Then said Hushai unto Zadok and 15
to Abiathar the priests. Thus and thus
did Ahithophel counsel Absalom and
the elders of Israel; and thus and thus
have I counselled. Now therefore send 16
quickly, and tell David, saying. Lodge
not this night "^in the plains of the wil-
derness, but speedily pass over; lest the
king be swallowed up, and all the peo-
ple that a)-e with him. Now Jonathan 17
and Ahimaaz stayed by 'En-rogel; for
they might not be seen to come into
the city: and a wench went and told
them; and they went and told king Da-
vid. Nevertheless a lad saw them, and is
told Absalom : but they went both of
them away quickly, and came to a
man's house '"in Bahurim, which had
a well in his court ; whither they went
down. And " the woman took and 19
spread a covering over the well's mouth,
and spread "ground corn thereon; and
the thing was not known. And when 20
Absalom's servants came to the woman
to the house, they said, ^\'here is Ahi-
maaz and Jonathan? And Pthe woman
said unto them. They be gone over the
brook of water. And when they had
sought and could not find than,, they
returned to Jerusalem. And it came to 21
pass, after they were departed, that they
came up out of the well, and went and
told king David, and said unto David,
1 Arise, and pass quickly over the water:
for thus hath Aliithophel counselled a-
gainst you. Then David arose, and all 22
the people that were with him, and they
passed over Jordan: by the morning
light there lacked not one of thtin that
was not gone over Jordan.
And when Ahithophel saw that his 23
counsel was not 'followed, he saddled
his ass, and arose, and gat him home
to his house, to 'his city, and 'put his

And David numbered the people that

part of the people under the hand of
Joab, and a third part under the hand
of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab's

a great slaughter that day of twenty
thousand men. For the battle was there s
scattered over the face of all the coun-
try: and the wood 'devoured more peo-
ple that day than the sword devoured.
And Absalom met the servants of Da- 9
vid. And Absalom rode upon a mule,
and the mule went under the thick
boughs of a great "^oak, and his head
caught hold of the oak, and he was
taken up between the heaven and the
earth ; and the mule that 7vas under him
went away. And a certain man saw //, 10
and told Joab, and said. Behold, I saw
Absalom hanged in an oak. And Joab n
said unto the man that told him. And
behold, thou sawest him, and why didst
thou not smite him there to the ground?
and I would have gi\'en thee ten ^shekels
(y silver, and a sgirdle. And the man 12
said unto Joab, Though I should 're-
ceive a thousand ^shekels of silver in
mine hand, yet would I not put forth
mine hand against the king's son: ''for
in our hearing the king charged thee
and Abishai and Ittai, saj'ing, 'Beware
that none touch the young man Absa-
lom. Otherwise I should have wrought 13
falsehood against mine own life : for
there is no matter hid from the king,
and thou thyself wouldest have set thy-
self against inc. Then said Joab, I may 14
not tarry thus ' with thee. And he
took three darts in his hand, and
thrust them through the heart of Ab-
salom, while he %vas yet alive in the
'midst of the oak. And ten young 15
men that bare Joab's armour compassed
about and smote Absalom, and slew
him. And Joab blew the trumpet, and 16
the people returned from pursuing after
Israel: for Joab held back the people.
And they took Absalom, and cast him 17
into a great pit in the wood, and laid 'a
very great heap of stones upon him :
and all Israel ^fled every one to his
tent. Now Absalom in his lifetime had is
taken and reared up for himself ^ a
pillar, which is in 'the king's dale: for
he said, "I have no son to keep my
name in remembrance: and he called
the pillar after his own name: and it
is called unto this day, Absalom's place.
Then said "Ahimaaz the son of Za-19
dok, Let me now run, and bear the
king tidings, how that the Lord hath
' avenged him of his enemies. And 20
Joab said unto him. Thou shalf not
'bear tidings this day, but thou shalt
bear tidings another day: but this day
thou shalt bear no tidings, because the
2£ king's son is dead. Then said Joab to
"Cushi, Go tell the king what thou hast "Rut comp.
seen. And Cushi bowed himself unto jcr. i3.'23. '
22 Joab, and ran. Then said Ahimaaz the '^sS- 7. '<>

•howsoever, let me, I pray thee, also ' Heb. /■<•

the watchman cried, and told the king.
And the king said. If he be alone, there

26 apace, and drew near. And the watch-
man saw another man running : and the
watchman called unto the porter, and
said, Behold another man running alone.

son, my son Absalom: would God I
had died for thee, O Absalom, my son,
my son.
And it was told Joab, Behold, the
king weepeth and mourneth for Absa-
lom. And the 'victory that day was 2
turned into mourning unto all the peo-
ple: for the people heard say that day
ho7i.> the king was grieved for his son.
And the people gat them by stealth 3
that day ^iiito the city, as people ''being
ashamed steal away when they flee in
battle. But the king ■= covered his face, 4
and the king cried with a loud voice, O
.my son Absalom, O Absalom, my son,
my son. And Joab came into the house 5
to the king, and said, Thou hast shamed
tliis day the faces of all thy servants,
which this day have saved thy life, and
the lives of thy sons and of thy daugh-
ters, and the lives of thy wives, and the
lives of thy concubines; 'in that thou 6
lovest thine enemies, and hatest thy
friends : for thou hast declared this
day, 'that thou regardest neither princes
nor servants: for this day I perceive,
that if Absalom had lived, and all we
had died this day, then ''it had pleased
thee well. Now therefore arise, go forth, 7
and speak 'comfortably unto thy ser-
vants : for I swear by the Lord, if thou
go not forth, there will not tarry one
with thee this night: and that 'ivill be
worse unto thee than all the evil that
befell thee from thy youth until now.
Then the king rose, and sat in the s
gate. And they told unto all the peo-
ple, saying, Behold, the king doth sit
in the gate. And all the people came
before the king: for Israel ''had fled
every man to his tent.
And all the people were at strife 9
throughout all the tribes of Israel, say-
ing, The king saved us out of the
hand of our enemies, and he delivered
us out of the hand of the Philistines;
and now he is fled out of the land for
Absalom. And Absalom, whom we an- 10

therefore why 'speak ye not a word of

priests, saying, Speak unto the elders of
Judah, saying, Why are ye the last to
bring the king back to his house? see-
ing the speech of all Israel is come to
the king, even to his house. Ye are my 12
brethren, ye are smy bones and my

13 bring back the king? And say ye ''to
Amasa, Art thou not of my bone, and
of my flesh? 'God do so to me, and
more also, if thou be not ■'captain of
the host before me continually in the
14 room of Joab. And he bowed the
heart of all the men of Judah, '^even 'judg. 20.1.
as the heart of one man; so that they
sent this raonf unto the king. Return
15 thou, and all thy servants. So the
king returned, and came to Jordan.
And Judah came to 'Gilgal, to go to
meet the king, to conduct the king over
Jordan.
r6 And™Shimei the son of Gera, a Ben-
jamite, which ^aas of " Bahurim, hasted
and came down with the men of Judah
17 to meet king David. And there were a
thousand men of Benjamin with him,
and °Ziba the ser\'ant of the house of
Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty
servants with him ; and they went over
18 Jordan before the king. And there
went over a ferry boat to carr)- over the
king's household, and to do 'what he
thought good. And Shimei the son of
Gera fell down before the king, as he
19 was come over Jordan; and said unto
the king. Let not my lord impute ini-
quity unto me, neither do thou remem-
ber that which thy ser\'ant Pdid per-
versely the day that my lord the king
went out of Jerusalem, that the king
20 should itake // to his heart. For thy
servant doth know that I have sinned:
therefore, behold, I am come the first
this day of all 'the house of Joseph to
21 go down to meet my lord the king. But
Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered and
said. Shall not Shimei be put to death
for this, because he ^cursed the Lord's
22 anointed? And David said, 'What have
I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah,
that ye should this day be adversaries
unto me? "shall there any man be put
to death this day in Israel? for do not
I know that I am this day king over Is-
=3rael? Therefore 'the king said unto Shi-
mei, Thou shalt not die. And the king
sware unto him.
24 And "Mephibosheth the son of Saul
came down to meet the king, and had
neither dressed his feet, nor trimmed his
beard, nor washed his clothes, from the
day the king departed until the day he
25 came again in peace. And it came to
pass, when he was come to Jerusalem to
meet the king, that the king said unto
him, '•Wherefore wentest not thou with

My lord, O king, my servant deceived
me: for thy servant said, I will saddle
me an ass, that I may ride thereon, and
go to the king; because thy servant is
lame. And >he hath slandered thy ser-27
vant unto my lord the king; but my
lord the king is ^as an angel of God : do
therefore what is good in thine eyes.
For all of my fathers house were but 28
'dead men before my lord the king: ''yet
didst thou set thy servant among them
that did eat at thine own table. What
right therefore have I yet to cry any
more unto the king? And the king said 29
unto him, Wliy speakest thou any more
of thy matters? I have said. Thou and
Ziba divide the land. And Mephibo-30
sheth said unto the king. Yea, let him
take all, forasmuch as my lord the king
is come again in peace unto his own
house.
And •'Barzillai the Gileadite came 31
down from "^Rogelim, and went over
Jordan with the king, to conduct him
over Jordan. Now Barzillai was a very 32
aged man, even fourscore years old : and
<^he had provided the king of sustenance
while he lay at Mahanaim; for he was
a very great man. And the king said 33
unto Barzillai, Come thou over with me,
and I will feed thee with me in Jerusa-
lem. And Barzillai said unto the king, 34
'How long have I to live, that I should
go up with the king unto Jerusalem? 1 35
am this day fourscore years old : and can
I discern between good and evil? can
thy servant taste what I eat or what I
drink? can I hear any more the voice of

recompense it me -with such a reward?
Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back 37
again, that I may die in mine own city,
and be buried by the grave of my father
and of my mother. But behold thy ser-
vant '^Chimham; let him go over with
my lord the king; and do to him what

king answered, Chimham shall go over

Barzillai, and blessed him; and he re-
40 turned unto his own place. Then the
king went on to Gilgal, and 'Chimham
went on with him: and all the people of
Judah conducted the king, and also half
the people of Israel.
41 And behold, all the men of Israel
came to the king, and said unto the
king, Why have our brethren the men
of Judah stolen thee away, and shave
brought the king, and his household,
and all David's men with him, over Jor-
42 dan? And all the men of Judah an-
swered the men of Israel, Because the
king is ''near of kin to us: wherefore
then be ye angry for this matter? have
we eaten at all of the king's cost I or
43 hath he given us any gift? And the
men of Israel answered the men of Ju-
dah, and said. We have ten parts in the
king, and we have also more right in
David than ye: why then did ye 'de-
spise us, that our advice should not be
first had in bringing back our king?
And 'the words of the men of Judah
were fiercer than the words of the men
of Israel.
And there happened to be there ^a
man of Belial, whose name was Sheba,
the son of Bichri, a Benjamite : and he
blew a trumpet, and said, ''We have no
part in David, neither have we inherit-
ance in the son of Jesse: "^every man to
2 his tents, O Israel. So every man of
Israel went up from after David, and
followed Sheba the son of Bichri: but
the men of Judah clave unto their king,
3 from Jordan even to Jerusalem. And
David came to his house at Jerusalem;
and the king took the ten women his
''concubines, whom he had left to keep
the house, and put them in 'ward, and
fed them, but went not in unto them.
So they were 'shut up unto the day of
4 their death, 'living in widowhood. Then
said the king to <=Amasa, 'Assemble me
the men of Judah within three days,
s and be thou here present. So Amasa
went to 'assemble the men (j/" Judah: but
he tarried longer than the set time which
6 he had appointed him. And David said
to AbLshai, Now shall Sheba the son of
Bichri do us more harm than did Absa-
lom: take thou fthy lord's ser\'ants, and
pursue after him, lest he get him fenced
7 cities, and 'escape us. And there went
out after him Joab'smen, and the sChe-

salem, to pursue after Sheba the son of
Bichri. ^^'hen they were at the great s
stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa went
before them. And Joab's gannent that
he had put on ivas girded unto him,
and upon it a girdle with a sword fast-
ened upon his loins in the sheath there-
of; and as he went forth it fell out.
And Joab said to Amasa, Art thou in 9
health, my brother? And Joab took
Amasa by the beard with the right hand
to ^ kiss him. But Amasa took no heed 10
to the sword that was in Joab's hand:
so 'he smote him therewith "^in the fifth
rib, and shed out his bowels to the
ground, and 'strake him not again; and
he died. So Joab and Abishai his bro-
ther pursued after Sheba the son of
Bichri. And one of Joab's men stood n
by him, and said, He that favoureth
Joab, and he that is for David, let him
go after Joab. And Amasa wallowed in 12
blood in the midst of 'the highway.
And when the man saw that all the peo-
ple stood still, he removed Amasa out
of the highway into the field, and cast a
cloth upon him, when he saw that every
one that came by him stood still. When 13
he was removed out of '.the highway, all
the people went on after Joab, to pursue
after Sheba the son of Bichri.
And he went through all the tribes of m
Israel unto ""Abel, and to Beth-°maa-
chah, and all "the Berites: and they
were gathered together, and went also
after him. And they came and besieged 15
him in ™Abel of Beth-maachah, and
they I' cast up a bank against the city,
and "it stood in the trench: and all the
people that 7vere with Joab 'battered the
wall, to throw // down. Then cried a 16
wise woman out of the city. Hear, hear;
say, I pray you, unto Joab, Come near
hither, that I may speak with thee.
And when he was come near unto her, 17
the woman said, Ati thou Joab? And
he answered, I a7>i he. Then she said
unto him. Hear the words of thine hand-
maid. And he answered, I do hear.
Then she spake, saying, 'They were is
wont to speak in old time, saying. They
shall surely ask coiiruel zX ™Abel: and so
they ended the fnaiter. I am one of them 19
that are peaceable and faithful in Israel :
thou seekest to destroy a city and a mo-
ther in Israel: why wilt thou ■iswallow
up ■'the inheritance of the Lord? And 20
Joab answered and said, Far be it, far
be it from me, that I should 1 swallow
21 up or destroy. The matter is not so :
but a man ^of mount Ephraim, Sheba ' Jo^h- 17- is-
the son of Bichri 'by name, hath lift 3^ ^^ '^^
up his hand against the king, even a- \^^^,^J
gainst David : deliver him only, and I
will depart from the city. And the wo- t ver. 16.
man said unto Joab, Behold, his head f-ff'?^-,*''-
sha// be thrown to thee over the wall, scattered.
22 Then the woman went unto all the peo- Gen^"",,'^,

But the king took the two sons of sRiz- i
pah the daughter of Aiah, whom she
bare unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibo-
sheth; and the five sons of "Michal the
daughter of Saul, whom she 'brought up
for Adriel the son of Barzillai the Me-
holathite: and he delivered them into <
the hands of the Gibeonites, and they
hanged them in the hill before the
Lord: and they fell a// seven together,
and were put to death in the days of
harvest, in the first i/ays, in '^the begin-
ning of barley harvest. And Rizpah the i.
daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and
spread it for her upon the rock, 'from
the beginning of harvest until water drop-
ped upon them out of heaven, and suf-
fered neither the birds of the air to rest
on them by day, nor the beasts of the
field by night. And it was told David i
what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the
concubine of Saul, had done. And Da- 1;
vid went and took the bones of Saul
and the bones of Jonathan his son from
Jthe men of Jabesh-gilead, ''which had
stolen them from the street of 'Beth-
shan, where the Philistines had hanged
them, when the Philistines had slain
Saul in Gilboa : and he brought up from i
thence the bones of Saul and the bones
of Jonathan his son; and they gathered
the bones of them that were hanged.
And the bones of Saul and Jonathan his i
son buried they in the country of Benja-
min in ™Zelah, in the sepulchre of Kish
his father: and they performed all that
the king commanded. And after that
"God was intreated for the land.
Moreover the Philistines had yet war i
again with Israel; and David went down,
and his servants wth him, and fought
against the Philistines: and David wax-
ed faint. And Ishbi-benob, which 7aas i
of the sons of 'the giant, the weight
of whose 'spear weighed three hundred
° shekels of brass in weight, he being
girded with a new szoord, thought to
have slain David. But PAbishai the son i
of Zeruiah succoured him, and smote
the Philistine, and killed him. Then
the men of David .sware unto him, say-
ing, iThou shalt go no more out with us
to battle, that thou quench not the
'light of Israel. ■'And it came to pass i
after this, that there was again a battle
with the Philistines at Gob: then ^Sib-
bechai the ^Hushathite slew 'Saph, which
itias of the sons of "the giant. And i
there was again a battle in Gob with the
Philistines, where 'Elhanan the son of
'Jaare-oregim, a Beth-lehemite, slew ^ihe
brother of Goliath the Gittite, "the staff
of v^hose spear tuas like a weaver's
abeam. And there was yet a battle in
^Gath, where was a man of great stature,
that had on every hand six fingers, and
on every foot six toes, four and twenty
i/i number; and he also was born to
1 "the giant. And when he 'defied Israel,
Jonathan the son of >Shimea the bro-
2 ther of David slew him. These four
were born to the giant in Gath, and fell
^by the hand of David, and by the hand
of his servants.
And David spake ^unto the Lord the
words of this song in the day that the
Lord had delivered him out of the
hand of all his enemies, and out of the
2 hand of Saul: '■and he said.
The Lord is <=my rock, and ''my for-
tress, and my deliverer;
3 The God ''of my rock; fin him will
I trust:
He is my ^shield, and the ''horn of
my salvation, my 'high tower, and
my ''refuge.
My saviour; thou savest me from vio-
lence.
i I will call on the Lord, 'who is 7uor-
thy to be praised :
So shall I be saved from mine ene-
mies.
5 When the 'waves of death compassed
me.
The floods of 'ungodly men made me
afraid ;
6 The 'sorrows of hell compassed me
about ;
The snares of death prevented me :
7 In my distress ™I called upon the
Lord,
And cried to my God :
And he did hear my voice out of his
temple,
And my cry ^did enter into his ears.
3 Then "the earth shook and trembled;
PThe foundations of heaven moved
And shook, because he was wroth.
9 There went up a smoke 'out of his
nostrils,
And fire out of his mouth devoured :
Coals were kindled by it.
:o He ibowed the heavens also, and
came down;
And ■■ darkness was under his feet.
I. And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly:
And he was seen ''upon the wings of
the wind.

And he made darkness ' pavilions 12 i 28

*Dark waters, and thick clouds of the ^

Through the brightness before him 13 29
Were coals of fire kindled. I
The Lord "thundered from heaven, 14 1 30
And the most High uttered his voice.
And he sent out •''arrows, and scat- 15

And the channels of the sea ap- 16 ]
peared, I
The foundations of the world were 32
discovered,
At the ^rebuking of the Lord,
At the blast of the breath of his
" nostrils.
^He sent from above, he took me; 17
''He drew me out of "many waters;
'He delivered me from my strong 18
enemy,
And from them that hated me: for
they were too strong for me.
They ''prevented me in the day of 19
my calamity :
But the Lord was my stay.
He brought me forth also 'into a 20
large place :
He delivered me, because he f de-
lighted in me.
eThe Lord rewarded me according to 2.
my righteousness:
According to the "i cleanness of my
hands hath he recompensed me.
For I have 'kept the ways of the 22
Lord,
And have not wickedly departed from
my God.
For all his J judgments were before 23
me :
And as for his statutes, I did not
depart from them.
I was also ''upright 'before him, 24
And have kept myself from mine I
iniquity. |
Therefore 'the Lord hath recom-2s
pensed me according to my right-
eousness;
According to my cleanness *in his
eye sight.
With "the merciful thou wilt shew 26
thyself merciful,
Atid with the upright man thou wilt
shew thyself upright.
With the pure thou wilt shew thyself 27
pure ;
And with the froward thou wilt "shew
thyself unsavoury.
And the "afflicted people thou wilt
save:
But thine eyes are upon the haughty,
that thou mayest bring them down.
For thou art my 'lamp, O Lird:
And the Lord will lighten mydarkness.
For by thee I have "run through a
troop :
By my God have I leaped over a wall.
As for God, his way is perfect ;
"The word of the Lord is 'tried:
He is Pa buckler to all them that
trust in him.
For iwho is God, save the Lord?
And who is a rock, save our God?
God is my ■'strength and power:
And he 'maketh my way 'perfect.
He 'maketh my feet 'like hinds'/t-^/.-
And setteth me "upon my high
places.
^He teacheth my hands 'to war;
So that a bow of steel is broken hy
mine arms.
Thou hast also given me the shield
of thy salvation:
.\nd thy gentleness hath 'made me
great.
Thou hast enlarged vmy steps under
me;
So that my *feet did not slip.
I have pursued mine enemies, and
destroyed them;
And turned not again until I had
consumed them.
And I have consumed them, and
wounded them, that they could not
arise :
Yea, they are fallen under my feet.
For thou hast ^girded me with strength
to battle:
"Them that rose up against me hast
thou 'subdued under me.
Thou hast also given me the •'necks
of mine enemies,
That I might destroy them that hate
me.
'^They looked, but there was none to
save ;
Even unto the Lord, but he answered
them not.
Then ''did I beat them as small "^as
the dust of the earth,
I did stamp them ""as the mire of
the street, and sdid spread them
abroad.
Thou also hast delivered me ''from
the strivings of my people,
' Thou hast kept me to be head of the

"Thou also hast lifted me up on high
above them that rose up against

Thou Iiast delivered me from the
P violent man.
^Therefore I will give thanksso
unto thee, O Lord, among the
heathen,
And I will sing praises unto thy
name.
He is the tower of ■'salvation for his 51
king:
And sheweth mercy to his ^anointed,
Unto David, and 'to his seed for
evermore.
Now these be the last words of David.
^David the son of Jesse said,
''And the man w/io was raised up on
high,
'The anointed of the God of Jacob,
And the sweet psalmist of Israel, said,
''The Spirit of the Lord spake by me, 2
And his word 7cias in my tongue.
The God of Israel said, 3
^The Rock of Israel spake to me,
'He that ruleth over men »iiist be
just,
Ruling ^in the fear of God.
And he shall be as the light of the 4
morning, w'//<:'« sthe sun riseth,
Even a morning without clouds;
As the tender grass springing out of
the earth
By clear shining after rain.
Although my house /^6' not so with God ; s
''Yet he hath made with me an ever-
lasting covenant.
Ordered in all things, and sure:
For this is all my salvation, and all
my desire,
Although 'he make it not to grow.
6 But the sons of ' Belial shall be all of
them as thorns thrust away.
Because they cannot be taken -vAxh
hands:
7 But the man that shall touch them
must be 'fenced with iron and ''the
stafi" of a spear ;
And they shall be utterly burnt with
fire in the same place.
8 'These be the names of the mighty
men whom David had : " The Tach-
monite that sat in the seat, chief among
""the captains; the same was Adino the
Eznite : " he lift up his spear against
eight hundred, 'whom he slew at one
gtime. And after him was "Eleazar the
son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the
three mighty men with David, when
° they defied the Philistines that were
there gathered together to battle, and
10 the men of Israel were gone away: he
arose, and smote the Philistines until
his hand was weary, and his hand clave
unto the sword; and the Lord wrought
a great Pvictory that day; and the peo-
ple returned after him only to spoil.
11 And after him was iShammah the son
of Agee the Hararite. And the Phi-
listines were gathered together "into a
troop, where was a piece of ground full
of lentiles : and the people fled from the
12 Philistines. But he stood in the midst
of the ground, and defended it, and
slew the Philistines : and the Lord
13 wrought a gi-eat Pvictory. And "three
of the thirty chief went down, and came
to David in the har\-est time unto ''the
cave of Adullam : and the troop of the
Philistines pitched in ^the valley of Re-
14 phaim. And David was then in ' a
hold, and "the garrison of the Philis-
15 tines 7uas then in Beth-lehem. And
David longed, and said. Oh that one
would give me drink of the water of
the well of Beth-lehem, which is by the
16 gate. And the three mighty men brake
through the host of the Philistines, and
drew water out of the well of Beth-
lehem, that 'ivas by the gate, and took
it, and brought it to David: neverthe-
less he would not drink thereof, but
17 poured it out unto the Lord. And he
said, Be it far from me, O Lord, that
I should do this: is tiot this "the blood
of the men that went m Jeopardy of Xh&x
lives? therefore he would not drink it.
These things did these three mighty
izmen. And Abishai, the brother of Joab,

all the tribes of Israel, ■'from Dan even
to Beer-sheba, and number ye the peo-
ple, that I may know the number of the
3 people. And Joab said unto the king,
Now "^the Lord thy God add unto the
people, how many soever they be, an
hundredfold, and that the eyes of my
lord the king may see it: but why doth
my lord the king delight in this thing?
4 Nohvithstanding the king's word pre-
vailed against Joab, and against the
captains of the host. And Joab and
the captains of the host went out from
the presence of the king, to number the
5 people of Israel. And they passed over
Jordan, and pitched in f Aroer, on the
right side of the city that licth in the
midst of the 'river of Gad, and toward
esjazer: then they came to Gilead, and
to the 'land of Tahtim-hodshi; and they
came to ''Dan-jaan, and about to 'Zi-
7 don, and came to the ■' strong hold of
Tyre, and to all the cities of ■'the Hi-
vites, and of ''the Canaanites: and they
went out to the south of Judah, even to
8 Beer-sheba. So when they had gone
through all the land, they came to Je-
rusalem at the end of nine months and
9 twenty days. And Joab gave up the
sum of the number of the people unto
the king: 'and there were in Israel
eight hundred thousand valiant men
"that drew the sword; and the men of
Judah were five hundred thousand men.
10 And "David's heart smote him after
that he had numbered the people. And
David said unto the Lord, °I have
sinned greatly in that I have done : and
now, 1 beseech thee, O Lord, take
away the iniquity of thy servant; for I
11 have Pdone very foolishly. For when
David was up in the morning, tlie word

i2<!Gad, David's ■'seer, saying. Go and
say unto David, Thus saith the Lord,

told him, and said unto him. Shall
^seven years of famine come unto thee
in tlry land? or wilt thou flee three
months before thine enemies, while
they pursue thee? or that there be three
days' pestilence in thy land? now ad-
vise, and see what answer I shall return

not fall into the hand of man. So the 15
Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel
from the morning even to the time ap-
pointed: and there died of the people
'from Dan even to Beer-sheba seventy
thousand men.
And when the angel stretched out 16
his hand ti/cv/ Jerusalem to destroy it,
"the Lord repented him of the evil,
and said to "the angel that ^destroyed
the people, // is enough: stay now thine
hand. And the angel of the Lord vifas
by the threshingplace of 'Araunah the
Jebusite. And David spake unto the 17
Lord when he saw the angel that smote
the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned,
and I vhave done wickedly: but these
sheep, what have they done? let thine
hand, I pray thee, be against me, and
against my father's house. And Gad is
came that day to David, and said unto
him, C'lO up, rear an altar unto the
Lord in the threshingffloor of ^Araunah
the Jebusite. And David, according to 19
the saying of Gad, went up as the Lord
commanded. And Araunah looked, and =0
saw the king and his ser\'ants coming
on toward him : and .A.raunah went out,
and bowed himself before the king o»
21 his face upon the ground. And Araunah
said, Wherefore is my lord the king
come to his servant? And David said,
^To buy the threshingfloor of thee, to
build an altar unto the Lord, that "the
l)lague may be stayed from the people.
22 And .\raunah said unto David, Let my
lord the king take and offer up what
''seemeth good unto him : behold, /lar be
oxen for burnt sacrifice, and "^threshing
instruments and other "^ instruments of
23 the oxen for wood. All these thiiii^s did
Araunah, as a king, give unto the king.
And Araunah said unto the king, The
24 Lord thy God ^accept thee. And the
king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will
surely buy it of thee at a price : neither
will I offer burnt offerings unto the
Lord my God of that which doth cost
me nothing. So David bought the
threshingfloor and the oxen for ""fifty
-'3 shekels of silver. And David built there
an altar unto the Lord, and sofl'er-
ed burnt offerings and peace offerings.
So •'the Lord was intreated for the
land, and 'the plague was stayed from
Israel.

^TOW king David was old ^W stricken
< in years; and they covered him with
clothes, but he gat no heat. Wherefore a
his servants said unto him, 'Let there
be sought for my lord the king 'a young
virgin : and let her stand before the
king, and let her 'cherish him, and let
her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the
king may get heat. So they sought for 3
a fair damsel throughout all the coasts
of Israel, and found Abishag a =»Shu-
nammite, and brought her to the king.
And the damsel luas very fair, and 4
cherished the king, and ministered to
him : but the king knew her not.
Then i^ Adonijah ijthe son of Haggith 5
exalted himself, saying, I will 'be king:
and "^he prepared him chariots and
horsemen, and fifty men to run before
him. And his father had not displeased 6
him 'at any time in saying, Why liast
thou done so? and he also 'luas a very
goodly num ; ''and liis mother hzx^ him
after Absalom. And ' he conferred with ^
Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with 'Abi-
athar the priest: and ^they 'following
Adonijah helped him. But "=Zadok the s
priest, and sBenaiah the son of Je-
hoiada, and '•Nathan the prophet, and
'Shimei, and Rei, and Jthe mighty men
which belonged to David, were not with
Adonijah. And Adonijah slew sheep 9
and oxen and fat cattle by the stone of
Zoheleth, which is by "En-rogel, and
called all his brethren the king's sons,
and all the men of Judah the king's
servants : but Nathan the prophet, and 10
Benaiah, and the mighty men, and ''So-
lomon his brother, he called not.
Wherefore Nathan spake unto Bath-n
sheba the mother of Solomon, saying,
Hast thou not heard that Adonijah the
son of Haggith doth reign, and David

12 our lord knoweth it not? Now there-
fore come, let me, I pray thee, give
thee counsel, that thou mayest save
thine own life, and the life of thy son
13 Solomon. Go and get thee in unto
king David, and say unto him, Didst
not thou, my lord O king, swear unto
thine handmaid, saying, 'Assuredly Solo-
mon thy son shall reign after me, and
he shall sit upon my throne? why then
14 doth Adonijah reign ? Behold, while
thou yet talkest there with the king, I
also will come in after thee, and 'con-
15 firm thy words. And Bath-sheba went
in unto the king into the chamber : and
the king was very old; and ™ Abishag "ver. 3, 4
the Shunammite ministered unto the
16 king. And Bath-sheba bowed, and did
obeisance unto the king. And the king
irsaid, 'What wouldest thou? And
said unto him. My lord, "thou swarest
by the Lord thy God unto thine hand-
maid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy
son shall reign after me, and he shall
i3 sit upon my throne. And now behold,
Adonijah reigneth; and now, my lord
19 the king, thou knowest // not: °and he °ver. 7—10,
hath slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep ''''
in abundance, and hath called all the
sons of the king, and Abiathar the
priest, and Joab the captain of the host :
but Solomon thy servant hath he not
20 called. And thou, my lord O king, the
eyes of all Israel are upon thee, that
thou shouldest tell them who shall sit
on the throne of my lord the king after
21 him. Otherwise it shall come to pass,
when my lord the king shall Psleep with pSec2 Sam

said, If he will shew himself a worthy
man, ■'there shall not a hair of him foil
to the earth: but if wickedness shall be
found in him, he shall die. So king 53
Solomon sent, and they brought him
down from the altar. And he came
and bowed himself to king Solomon :
and Solomon said unto him, Go to thine
house.
Now =the days of David drew nigh
that /le should die ; and he charged Solo-
mon his son, saying, ''I go the way of 2
all the earth: <^be thou strong therefore,
and shew thyself a man ; and keep the 3
charge of the Lord thy God, to walk in
his ways, to keep his statutes, and his
commandments, and his judgments, and
his testimonies, as // is written in the
law of Moses, that thou mayest '"'pro-
sper in all that thou doest, and whither-
soever thou turnest thyself: that the ^
Lord may <^ continue his word which he
spake concerning me, saying, 'If thy
children take heed to their way, to
swalk before me in truth with all their
heart and with all their soul, ^ there
shall not 'fail thee (said he) a man on
the throne of Israel. Moreover thou 5
knowest also what Joab the son of Ze-
ruiah 'did to me, andv;\\it he did to the
two captains of the hosts of Israel, un-
to ''Abner the son of Ner, and unto
'Amasa the son of Jether, whom he
slew, and 'shed the blood of war in
])eace, and put the blood of war upon
his girdle that was about his loins, and
in his shoes that were on his feet. Do 6
therefore ""according to thy wisdom, and
let not his hoar head go down to the
grave in peace. But shew kindness un- 7
to the sons of "Barzillai the Gileadite,
and let them be of those that °eat at
thy table : for so p they came to me
when I fled because of Absalom thy
brother. And behold, thou hast with s
thee qShimei the son of Gera, a Benja-
■ mite of Bahurim, which cursed me with
a 'grievous curse in the day when I
went to ""Mahanaim: but ^he came down
to meet me at Jordan, and 'I sware to
him by the Lord, saying, I will not put
thee to death with the sword. Now 9
therefore "hold him not guiltless: for
thou aii a wise man, and knowest what
thou oughtest to do unto him; but his
hoar head ''^' bring thou down to the
grave with blood. So •'' David slept with 10
his fathers, and was buried in v the city
1 1 of David. And the days that David
^reigned over Israel were forty years:
seven years reigned he in Hebron, and
thirty and three years reigned he in Je-
rusalem.
12 "Then sat Solomon upon the throne
of David his father; and his kingdom
13 was established greatly. And Adonijah
the son of Haggith came to Bath-sheba
the mother of Solomon. And she said,
''Comest thou peaceably? And he said,
14 Peaceabl)'. He said moreover, I have
somewhat to say unto thee. And she
15 said. Say on. And he said, Thou know-
est that the kingdom was 'mine, and
that all Israel set their faces on me,
that / should reign: howbeit the king-
dom is turned about, and is become my
brother's: for ''it w-as his from the Lord.
16 And now I ask one petition of thee,
'deny me not. And she said unto him,
17 Say on. And he said. Speak, I pray
thee, unto Solomon the king, (for he
will not say thee nay,) that he give me
18 ■= Abishag the fShunammite to wife. And
Bath-sheba said. Well; I will speak for
19 thee unto the king. Bath-sheba there-
fore went unto king Solomon, to speak
unto him for Adonijah. And the king
rose up to meet her, and bowed himself
unto her, and sat down on his throne,
and caused a seat to be set for the
king's mother; sand she sat on his right
20 hand. Then she said, I desire one
small petition of thee; I pray thee, say
me not nay. And the king said unto
her, Ask on, my mother: for I will not
21 say thee na)'. And she said. Let "^Abi-
shag the Shunammite be given to Ado-
22nijah thy brother to wife. And king
Solomon answered and said unto his
mother. And why dost thou ask '=Abi-
shag the Shunammite for Adonijah? ask
for him the kingdom also; ''for he is
mine elder brother; even for him, and
for 'Abiathar the priest, and for Joab
23 the son of Zeruiah. Then king Solo-
mon sware by the Lord, saying, ^God
do so to me, and more also, if Ado-
nijah have not spoken this w'ord against
24 his own life. Now therefore, '^as the
Lord liveth, which hath established me,
and set me on the throne of David my
father, and who hath made me a
house, 'as he promised, Adonijah shall
25 be put to death this day. And king
Solomon sent by the hand of '"Benaiah
the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon
him that he died.

And unto Abiathar the priest said the 26
king, Get thee to "Anathoth, unto thine
own fields ; for thou art ' worthy of
death: but I will not at this time put
thee to death, because °thou barest the
ark of the Lord God before David my
father, and because Pthou hast been
afflicted in all where/// my father was
afflicted. So Solomon thrust out Abi-27
athar from being priest unto the Lord;
that he might ^ fulfil the word of the
Lord, which he spake concerning the
house of Eli in ''Shiloh.
Then tidings came to Joab: for JoabiS
^had turned after Adonijah, though 'he
turned not after Absalom. And Joab
fled " unto the tabernacle of the Lord,
and "caught hold on the horns of the
altar. And it was told king Solomon 29
that Joab was fled unto the tabernacle
of the Lord; and behold, he is by the
altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the
son of Jehoiada, saying. Go, fall upon
him. And Benaiah came to the taber-30
nacle of the Lord, and said unto him,
Thus saith the king, Come forth. And
he said. Nay; but I will die here. And
Benaiah brought the king word again,
saying, Thus said Joab, and thus he
answered me. And the king said unto 31
him, "Do as he hath said, and fall upon
him, and bury him; ^that thou mayest
take away the innocent blood, which
Joab shed, from me, and from the house
of my father. And the Lord >' shall 32
return his blood ujson his own head,
who fell upon two men more righteous
and ^better than he, and slew them with
the sword, my father David not know-
ing thereof, to lait, "Abner the son of
Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and
''Amasa the son of J ether, captain of
the host of Judah. Their blood shall 33
therefore return '^upon the head of Joab,
and upon the head of his seed for ever:
but upon David, and upon his seed,
and upon his house, and upon his
throne, shall there be peace for ever
from the Lord. So ''Benaiah the son 34
of Jehoiada went up, and fell upon him,
and slew him: and he was buried "^in
his own house in the wilderness. And 35
the king put Benaiah the son of Je-
hoiada in his room over the host: and
fZadok the priest did the king put in
the room of s Abiathar.
And the king sent and called for 36
''Shimei, and said unto him. Build thee
a house in Jerusalem, and dwell there,
and go not forth thence any whither.
37 For it shall be, that on the day thou
goest out, and passest over 'the brook
Kidron, thou shalt know for certain
that thou shalt surely die: ^thy blood
33 shall l)e upon thine own head. And
Shimei said unto the king, The saying
is good : as my lord the king hath said,
so will thy servant do. And Shimei
39 dwelt in Jerusalem many days. And
it came to pass at the end of three
years, that two of the servants of Shimei
ran away unto i^ Achish son of Maachah
king of 'Gath. And they told Shimei,
saying, Behold, thy servants be in Gath.
40 And Shimei aro.se, and saddled his ass,
and went to Gath to Achish to seek
his servants: and Shimei went, and
41 brought his servants from Gath. And
it was told Solomon that Shimei had
gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and was
42 come again. And the king sent and
called for Shimei, and said unto him.
Did I not make thee to swear by the
Lord, and protested unto thee, saying,
Know for a certain, on the day thou
goest out, and walkest abroad any whi-
ther, that thou shalt surely die? and
thou saidst unto me. The word that I
43 have heard is good. Why then hast
thou not kept the oath of the Lord,
and the commandment that I have
44 charged thee with? The king said more-
over to Shimei, Thou knowest '"all the
wickedness which thine heart is privy
to, that thou didst to David my father:
therefore the Lord shall " return thy
45 wickedness upon thine own head; and
king Solomon shall be blessed, and "the
throne of David shall be established
46 before the Lord for ever. So the king
commanded '^Benaiah the son of Je-
hoiada; which went out, and fell upon
him, that he died. And the Pkingdom
was established in the hand of Solomon.
And ^Solomon made affinity with
Pharaoh king of Egypt, and took Pha-
raoh's daughter, and brought her into
the '^city of David, until he had made
an end of building his '^own house, and
''the house of the Lord, and 'the wall
2 of Jerusalem round about. Only the
people sacrificed in high places, because
there was no house built unto the name
3 of the Lord, until those days. And
Solomon Hoved the Lord, Swalking in
the statutes of David his father: only
he sacrificed and burnt incense in high
4 places. And the king went to ''Gibeon

to sacrifice there; 'for that was the great
'high place: ai^thousand burnt offerings
did Solomon offer up on that ahar.
'In Gibeon the Lord appeared to s
Solomon ™in a dream by night: and
God said, Ask what I shall give thee.
And Solomon said, Thou hast shewed 6
unto thy servant David my father great
'mercy, according as he "walked before
thee in truth, and in righteousness, and
in uprightness of heart with thee; and
thou hast kept for him this great kind-
ness, that thou "hast given him a son
to sit on his throne, as // is this day.
And now, O Lord my God, Pthou hast ^
made thy servant king instead of David
my father: and I am but la little child:
I know not Iww ■'to go out or come in.
And thy servant is in the midst of thy s
people which thou ^hast chosen, a great
people, 'that cannot be numbered nor
counted for multitude. "Give therefore 9
thy servant an ^understanding heart •''to
judge thy people, that / may >'discern
between good and bad : for who is able
to judge this thy so great a people?
And the speech ^pleased the Lord, that 10
Solomon had asked this thing. And n
God said unto him, Because thou hast
asked this thing, and hast not asked
for thyself 'long life; neither hast asked
riches for thyself, nor hast asked the
life of thine enemies; but hast asked
for thyself understanding ' to discern
judgment; ^behold, I have done ac-12
cording to thy word: ''lo, I have given
thee a wise and an understanding heart;
so that there was none like thee before
thee, neither after thee shall any arise
like unto thee. And I have also "^given 13
thee that which thou hast not asked,
both ''riches, and honour: so that there
' shall not be any among the kings
like unto thee all thy days. And ifi4
thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep
my statutes and my commandments,
<=as thy father David did walk, then I
will f lengthen thy days. And Solomon 15
sawoke; and behold, it was a dream.
And he came to Jerusalem, and stood
before ''the ark of the covenant of the
Lord, and offered up burnt offerings,
and offered peace offerings, and 'made
a feast to all his servants.
Then came there two women, that 16
'li'cre harlots, unto the king, and ''stood
before him. And the one woman said, 17
O my lord, I and this woman dwell
in one house; and I was delivered of
isa child with her in the house. .-\nd it
came to pass the third day after that
I was delivered, that this woman was
delivered also: and we icerc together;
there 7i<as no stranger with us in the
19 house, save v>e two in the house. And
this woman's child died in the night;
20 because she overlaid it. And she rose
at midnight, and took my son from
beside me, while thine handmaid slept,
and laid it in her bosom, and laid her
21 dead child in my bosom. And when
I rose in the morning to give my child
suck, behold, it was dead: but when
I had considered it in the morning,
behold, it was not my son, which I did
22 bear. And the other woman said. Nay;
but the li\ing is my son, and the dead
is thy son. And this said. No ; but the
dead is thy son, and the living is my
son. Thus they spake before the king.
23 Then said the king, The one saith.
This is my son that liveth, and thy
son is the dead: and the other saith,
Nay; but thy son is the dead, and my
24 son is the living. And the king said.
Bring me a sword. And they brought
25 a sword before the king. And the king
said. Divide the living child in two, and
give half to the one, and half to the
26 other. Then spake the woman whose

'The son of Hur, in ''mount Ephraim:

and all PBeth-shean, which is by iZar-
tanah beneath 'Jezreel, from PBeth-
shean to ^Abel-meholah, nrn unto the
place that is beyond 'Jokneam: "the son 13
of Geber, in "Ramoth-gilead; to him
pertained 'the towns of Jair the son of
Manasseh, which arc in Gilead; to him
also pertained "the region of Argob,
which is in Bashan, threescore great
cities '"7vith walls and brasen bars: Ahi-14

he 7i<as the only officer which ^ims in the

Solomon had "forty thousand .stalls of
horses for his chariots, and twelve thou-
27 sand horsemen. And those " officers
provided victual for king Solomon, and
for all that came unto king Solomon's
table, every man in his month: they
23 lacked nothing. Barley also and straw
for the horses and 'dromedaries brought
they unto the place where the officers
were, e\'erj' man according to his charge.
29 And PGod gave Solomon wisdom and
understanding exceeding much, and
largeness of heart, eiieti las the sand
30 that is on the sea shore. And Solo-
mon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of
all ■'the children of the east country,
31 and all ^the wisdom of Egypt. For he
was 'wiser than all men; "than Ethan
the " Ezrahite, and"Heman, and ^Chal-
col, and Darda, the sons of Mahol:
and his fame was in all nations round
32 about. And vhe spake three thousand
proverbs: and his ^ songs were a thou-
33 sand and five. And he spake of trees,
from •''the cedar tree that is in Lebanon
even unto ''the hyssop that springeth
out of the wall : he spake also of beasts;
and of fowl, and of creeping things, and
34 of fishes. And there came of all peo-
ple to hear the wisdom of Solomon,
from "all kings of the earth, which had
heard of his wisdom.
And "Hiram king of ='Tyre sent his
servants unto Solomon; for he had heard
that they had anointed him king in the
room of his father: ''for Hiram was ever
2 a lover of David. And '^Solomon sent
3 to Hiram, saying, Thou knowest how

God ''for the wars which were about
him on every side, until the Lord put
4 them under the soles of his feet. But

father, saying, Thy son, whom I will
set upon thy throne in thy room, 8he
shall build a house unto my name.

thou shall 'appoint: for thou knowest
that then: is not among us any i/tai can
skill to hew timber like unto the ''Si-
donians. And it came to pass, when 7
Hiram heard the words of Solomon,
that he rejoiced greatly, and said, 'Bless-
ed be the Lord this day, which hath
given unto David a wise son over this
great people. And Hiram sent to Solo- s
mon, saying, I have * considered the
things which thou sentest to me for:
and I will do all thy desire concerning
timber of cedar, and concerning timber
of ■'fir. My servants shall bring them 9
,do\vn from Lebanon unto the sea: and
I will convey them by sea in flotes unto
the place that thou shalt 'appoint me,
and will cause them to be discharged
there, and thou shalt receive them: and
thou shalt accomplish my desire, "^in
giving food for my household. So Hi- lo
ram gave Solomon cedar trees and fir
trees according to all his desire. Andu
Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand
' measures of wheat for food to his
household, and 'twenty 'measures of
pure oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram
year by year. And the Lord gave So- 12
lomon wisdom, ""as he promised him:
and there was peace between Hiram
and Solomon; and they two made a
league together.
And king Solomon raised a 'levy out 13
of all Israel; and the levy was thirty
thousand men. And he sent them to 14
Lebanon, ten thousand a month by
courses : a month they were in Lebanon,
and iwo months at home: and "Adoni-
ram taas over the levy. And Solomon 15
had "threescore and ten thousand that
bare burdens, and fourscore thousand
hewers in the mountains; besides the 16
chief of Solomon's p officers which were
over the work, ° three thousand and
three hundred, iwhich ruled over the
people that wrought in the work. And 17
the king commanded, and they brought
great stones, costly stones, and ''hewed
stones, to lay the foundation of the
house. And Solomon's builders and 18
Hiram's builders did hew them, and the
"stonesquarers: so they prepared timber
and stones to build the house.
And it came to pass in ='.the four
hundred and eightieth year after the
children of Israel were come out of the
land of Egj'pt, ''in the fourth year of
Solomon's reign over Israel, in the
month Zif, which is '^the second month.
that he ^ began to build the house of the
2 Lord. And '^the house which king So-
lomon built for the Lord, the length
thereof was threescore cubits, and the
breadth thereof twenty cubits, and the
3 height thereof thirty cubits. And the
porch before the temple of the house,
twenty cubits was the length thereof,
according to the breadth of the house;
and ten cubits Toas the breadth thereolF
4 before the house. And for the house
he made "windows of narrow lights.
5 And '^against the wall of the house he
built * chambers round about, against the
walls of the house round about, both of
the temple and of 'the oracle: and he
6 made 'chambers round about: the ne-
thermost chamber was five cubits broad,
and the middle was six cubits broad,
and the third 'was seven cubits broad:
for without in the wall of the house he
made 'narrowed rests round about, that
^the beams should not be fastened in
7 the walls of the house. And the house,
when it was in building, •'was built of
stone made ready before it was brought
thither: so that there was neither ham-
mer nor a.xe nor any tool of iron heard
in the house, while it was in building.
8 The door for the middle chamber 7C'as
in the right * side of the house : and they
went up with winding stairs into the
middle chamber, and out of the middle
9 into the third. 'So he built the house,
and finished it; and covered the house
10 "with beams and boards of cedar. And
then he built chambers against all the
house, five cubits high : and they rested
on the house with timber of cedar.
It And the word of the Lord came to
12 Solomon, saying. Concerning this house
which thou art in building, ' if thou wilt
walk in my statutes, and execute my
judgments, and keep all my command-
ments to walk in them; then will I per-
fomi my word with thee, ''which I spake
13 unto David thy father: and 'I will dwell
among the children of Israel, and will
not '"forsake my people Israel.
14 "So Solomon built the house, and
15 finished it. And he built the walls of
the house within with boards of cedar,
"both "the floor of the house, and the
walls of the cieling : and he covered them

for it within, even for tlie oracle, even for
the imost holy place. And the house, i
that is, the temple before it, was forty
cubits long. And the cedar of the house 1
within was carved with "knops and 'open
flowers: all loas cedar; there was no
stone seen. And the oracle he prepared i
in the house within, to set there the ark
of the covenant of the Lord. And the 2
oracle in the forepart was twenty cubits
in length, and twenty cubits in breadth,
and twenty cubits in the height thereof:
and he overlaid it with 'pure gold; and
so covered the altar 7iihkh was (^ cedar.
So Solomon overlaid the house within 2
with pure gold : and he made a partition
by the chains of gold before the oracle;
and he overlaid it with gold. And the 2
whole house he overlaid with gold, until
//(■ had finished all the house: also the
whole 'altar that li'as by the oracle he
overlaid with gold.
And within the oracle he made ^tw0 2
cherubims (y' olive tree, each ten cubits
high. And five cubits 7iias the one wing =
of the cherub, and five cubits the other
wing of the cherub : from the uttermost
part of the one wing unto the uttermost
part of the other were ten cubits. And 2
the other cherub was ten cubits: both
the cherubims K'(vr of one measure and
one size. The height of the one cherub 2
7i.'as ten cubits, and so was it of the
other cherub. And he set the cheru-2
bims within the inner house: and '"they
stretched forth the wings of the cheru-
bims, so that the wing of the one touch-
ed the one wall, and the wing of the
other cherub touched the other wall;
and their wings touched one another in
the midst of the house. And he over- 2:
laid the cherubims with gold. And he 2
carved all the walls of the house round
about 7inth carved figures of cherubims
and palm trees and 'open flowers, within
and without. And the floor of the 3
house he o\'erlaid with gold, within and
without.
And for the entering of the oracle he 3
made doors of olive tree: the lintel and
side posts 7iiere 'a Mih part of the wall.
The ' two doors also were of olive tree ; 3
and he carved upon tliem carvings of
cherubims and palm trees and 'open
flowers, and o\erlaid them with gold, and
spread gold upon the cherubims, and
upon the palm trees. So also made he 3
for the door of the temple posts of olive
tree, "a fourth faii of the wall. And 3
the two doors ivere of "fir tree: the two " Seech. 5. s.

cherubims and palm trees and open flow-
ers: and covered them with gold fitted
36 upon the carved work. And he built
the inner court with "three rows of hew- ^<*- i- '=•

And king Solomon sent and fet 13
'Hiram out of Tyre. He was *a widow's 14
son fof the tribe of Naphtali, and ehis
father was a man of Tyre, a worker in
brass: and ''he was filled with wisdom,
and understanding, and cunning to work
all works in brass. And he came to
king Solomon, and WTOught all his work.
For he 'cast 'two pillars of brass, of 15
^eighteen cubits high apiece: and a line
of twelve cubits did compass either of
.them about. And he made two chapi- 16
ters of molten brass, to set upon the
tops of the pillars: the height of the one
chapiter 7i.'as fi\-e cubits, and the height
of the other chapiter 7cias five cubits:
and nets of checker work, r?«(/ ''wTeaths 17
of chain work, for the chapiters which
7iien' upon the top of the pillars; seven
for the one chapiter, and seven for the
other chapiter. And he made the pil- 18
lars, and two rows round about upon
the one network, to cover the chapiters
that 7i'fre upon the top, ?<:'//// pomegra-
nates : and so did he for the other chapi-
ter. (And the chapiters that 7i>ere upon 19
the top of the pillars avre of lily work
in 'the porch, four cubits). And the 20
chapiters upon the two pillars had pome-
granates also above, over against the
belly which was by the network : and
the pomegranates were ""two hundred in
rows round about upon the other chapi-
ter. And he set up the pillars in the 21
porch of the temple : and he set up the
right pillar, and called the name thereof
'Jachin: and he set up the left pillar,
and called the name thereof ' Boaz. And 22
upon the top of the pillars was lily
work: so was the work of the pillars
finished.
And he made "a molten sea, ten cu- 23
bits 'from the one brim to the other: it
was round all about, and his height zcas
five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits
did compass it round about. And un-24
der the brim of it round about there ^oeir
°knops compassing it, ten in a cubit,
compassing the sea round about: the
knops 'were cast in two rows, when it
was cast. It stood upon Ptwelve oxen, 25
three looking toward the north, and three
looking toward the west, and three look-
ing toward the south, and three looking
toward the east : and the sea 'was set a-

breadth thick, and the brim thereof was
^\Tought like the brim of a cup, 7c>ith
flowers of lilies: it contained "itwo thou-
sand baths.
27 And he made "'ten bases of brass;
four cubits 'was the length of one base,
and four cubits the breadth thereof, and
28 three cubits the height of it. And the
work of the bases 'was on this manner:
they had borders, and the borders were
29 between the ledges : and on the borders
that were betn-een the ledges 'were lions,
oxen, and cherubims: and upon the
ledges there was a base above : and be-
neath the lions and oxen 'were certain
30 additions made of thin work. And every
base had four brasen wheels, and plates
of brass: and the four corners thereof
had undersetters : under the laver 'were
undersetters molten, at the side of every
31 addition. And the mouth of it within
the chapiter and above 7vas a cubit : but
the mouth thereof was round after the
work of the base, a cubit and a half:
and also upon the mouth of it were
gravings with their borders, foursquare,
32 not round. And under the borders 'were
four wheels; and the a.xletrees of the
wheels 'were 'joined to the base: and the l'^^''- ,
height of a wheel 'was a cubit and half a """ ""'
33 cubit. And the work of the wheels 'was
like the work of a chariot wheel : their
axletrees, and their ^ naves, and their
felloes, and their spokes, 'were all mol-
34 ten. And there 'were four undersetters
to the four corners of one base : and the
undersetters were of the very base itself.
35 And in the top of the base 'was tJiere a
round compass of half a cubit high : and
on the top of the base the ledges thereof
and the borders thereof were of the
36 same. For on the plates of the ledges
thereof, and on the borders thereof, he
gi-aved cherubims, lions, and palm trees,
according to the 'proportion of every * Hcb.
37 one, and additions round about. After ""''"'""'■
this manner he made tiie ten bases: all
of them had one casting, one measure,
'3S and one size. Then 'made he ten la- '2Chr. 4. <
vers of brass : one laver contained forty
baths : and every laver was four cubits :
and upon every one of the ten bases one , pj^^
39 laver. And he put five bases on the s/wMr.
right 'side of the house, and five on the °J_ '''"'■ ■•■
left side of the house : and "he set the sea "' j.^^"- 5'
on the right side of the house eastward 11—5.'

"the shovels, and the basons. So Hi-
ram made an end of doing all the work
that he made king Solomon for the
house of the Lord : the two pillars, and 41
the two •''bowls of the chapiters that
were on the top of the two pillars; and
the two v networks, to cover the two
-'' bowls of the chapiters which were upon
the top of the pillars; and ^four hundred 42
pomegranates for the two >" networks, evm
two rows of pomegranates for one net-
work, to cover the two ^ bowls of the

and the ten bases, and ten lavers on 43
the bases; and »one sea, and twelve 44
oxen under the sea; and ''the pots, and 45
the shovels, and the basons: and all
these vessels, which Hiram made to
king Solomon /t^r the house of the Lord,
7L<cre (/'bright brass. In the plain of 46
Jordan did the king cast them, 'in the
clay ground between "^Succoth and ''Zar-
than. And Solomon left all the vessels 47
nmaeighed, 'because they were exceeding
many: neither was the weight of the
brass 'found out. And Solomon made 48
all the vessels that pertained unto the
house of the Lord: 'the altar of gold,
and ''the table (/gold, whereupon sthe
shewbread was, and the candlesticks of^g
pure gold, ''five on the right side, and five
on the left, before the oracle, with 'the
flowers, and the 'lamps, and •'the tongs
(/gold, and 'the bowls, and 'the snuf-so
fers, and 'the basons, and ""the spoons,
and the 'censers of pure gold; and the
hinges (/gold, Iwfk for the doors of the
inner house, "the most Iwly place, and
for the doors of the house, to wif, of the
temple. So was ended all the work that 51
king Solomon made/v the house of the
Lord. And Solomon brought in the
U/iings "which David his father had de-
dicated; c'l'en the silver, and the gold,
and the vessels, did he put among the
treasures of the house of the Lord.
Then ^Solomon assembled the elders
of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes,
the 'chief of the fathers of the children
of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusa- .
lem, ''that t/iey might bring up the ark
of the covenant of the Lord <^out of the
city of David, which is Zion. And all 2
the men of Israel assembled themselves
unto king Solomon at the ''feast in the
month Ethanim, which is the seventh
month. And all the elders of Israel 3
came, and "^the priests took up the ark.
15. Comp. 2 Chr. .s. 4, 5.
4 And they brought up the ark of the
Lord, ''and the tabernacle of the con-
gregation, and all the holy vessels that
7C'ere in the tabernacle, even those did
the priests and the Levites bring up.
5 And king Solomon, and all the congre-
gation of Israel, that were assembled
unto him, 7ciere with him before the ark,
e sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could
not be told nor numbered for multitude.
6 And the priests ''brought in the ark of
the covenant of the Lord unto ''his
place, into 'the oracle of the house, to
the most holy place, even ''under the
7 wings of the cherubims. For the cheru-
bims spread forth t/ieir two wings o\'er
the place of the ark, and the cherubims
covered the ark and the staves thereof
s above. And they 'drew out the staves,
that the 'ends of the staves were seen
out in the ' holy //<7C(? before 'the oracle,
and they were not seen without: and
9 there they are unto this day. There was
nothing in the ark save "'the two tables
of stone, which Moses put there at Ho-
reb, "when "the Lord made °a covenant
with the children of Israel, when they
10 came out of the land of Egypt. And it
came to pass, when the priests were
come out of the holy//(?(Y, that the cloud
11 Pfilled the house of the Lord, so that
the priests could not stand to minister
because of the cloud : for the glory of the
Lord had filled the house of the Lord.
12 iThen spake Solomon, The Lord
said that //(■ would dwell ''in the thick
13 darkness. ^I have surely built thee a
house to dwell in, a "settled place for
14 thee to abide in for ever. And the king
turned his face about, and "blessed all
the congregation of Israel: (and all the
15 congregation of Israel stood ;) and he
said, "Blessed he the Lord God of Is-
i-ael, '^ which spake with his mouth unto
David my father, and hath with his
16 hand fulfilled it, saying. Since the day
that I brought forth my people Israel

son that '^shall come forth out of thy
loins, he shall build the house unto my
name. And the Lord hath performed 20
his word that he spake, and I am risen
up in the room of David my father, and
sit on the throne of Israel, ''as the Lord
promised, and have built a house for the
name of the Lord God of Israel. And 21
I have set there a place for the ark,
wherein is =the covenant of the Lord,
which he made with our fathers, when he
brought them out of the land of Egypt.
And Solomon <" stood before the altars:
of the Lord in the presence of all the
congregation of Israel, and sspread forth
his hands toward heaven : and he said, 23
■•Lord God of Israel, '^t/ierc is no God
like thee, in heaven above, or on earth
beneath, '^vvho keepest covenant and mer-
cy with thy servants that 'walk before
thee with all their heart : who hast kept 24
with thy ser\^ant David my father that
thou promisedst him : thou spakest also
with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with
thine hand, as // is this day. Therefore 25
now, Lord God of Israel, keep with thy
servant David my father that thou pro-
misedst him, saying, "'There shall not
fail thee a man in my sight to sit on
the throne of Israel; 'so that thy children
take heed to their way, that they walk
before me as thou hast walked before
me. "And now, O God of Israel, let 26
thy word, I pray thee, be verified, which
thou spakest unto thy servant David my
father.
But will God indeed dwell on the 27
earth? behold, "the heaven and Pheaven
of heavens cannot contain thee; how
much less this house that I have builded?
Yet have thou respect unto the prayer 28
of thy servant, and to his supplication,
O Lord my God, to hearken unto the j
cry and to the prayer, which thy servant
prayeth before thee to day: that 'Uhine^fj | 41
eyes may be open toward this house
night and day, even toward the place of
which thou hast said, ■'My name shall
be there: that thou mayest hearken un-
to the prayer which thy servant shall
make ' towards this place. And hearken 31
thou to the supplication of thy servant,
and of thy people Israel, when they shall
pray 'towards this place: and hear thou
in heaven ^thy dwelling place : and when
thou hearest, forgive.
If any man trespass against his neigh- 3
bour, 'and 'an oath be laid upon him to
cause him to swear, and the oath come
32 before thine altar in this house: then
hear thou in heaven, and do, and judge
thy servants, "condemning the wicked,
to bring his way upon his head; and jus-
tifying the righteous, to give him accord-
ing to his righteousness.
33 "When thy people Israel be smitten
down before the enemy, because they
have sinned against thee, and ''shall turn
again to thee, and confess thy name, and
pray, and make supplication unto thee
34 "in this house: then hear thou /;/ heaven,
and forgive the sin of thy people Israel,
and bring them again unto the land
which thou gavest unto their fathers.
35 >'\Vhen heaven is shut up, and there is
no rain, because they have sinned against
thee ; if they pray towards this place, and
confess thy name, and turn from their
36 sin, when thou afflictest them : then hear
thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of
thy servants, and of thy people Israel,
that thou ^ teach them ='the good way
wherein they should walk, and give rain
upon tliy land, which thou hast gi\en to
thy people for an inheritance.
37 *> If there be in the land famine, if
there be pestilence, blasting, mildew, lo-
cust, or if there be caterpillar; if their
enemy besiege them in the land of their
'cities; whatsoever plague, whatsoever
38 sickness there be; what prayer and sup-
plication soever be 7nade by any man, or
by all thy people Israel, which shall know
every man the plague of his own heart,
and "^spread forth his hands towards this
39 house: then hear thou in heaven ''thy
dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and
give to every man according to his ways,
whose heart thou knowest; (for thou,
a<en thou only, "^knowest the hearts of
40 all the children of men ;) that tliey may
fear thee fall the days that they live in the
land which thou gavest unto our fathers.
jMoreover concerning a stranger,
that is not of thy people Israel, but
cometh out of a far country for thy
42 name's sake; (for they shall hear of thy
great name, and of thy £ strong hand,
and of thy stretched out arm:) when he
shall come and pray towards this house;
43 hear thou in heaven ''thy dwelling place,
and do according to all that the stranger
calleth to thee for: ''that all people of
the earth may know thy name, to 'fear
thee, as do thy people Israel; and that
they may know that 'this house, which I
have builded, is called by thy name.

with all their heart, and with all their
soul, in the land of their enemies, which
led them away captive, and pray unto

"cause, and forgive thy people that have 50
sinned against thee, and all their trans-
gressions wherein they have transgressed
against thee, and ■'give them compassion
before them who carried them captive,
that they may have compassion on them :
for ''they be thy people, and thine in- 51
heritance, which thou broughtest forth
out of Egypt, 'from the midst of the fur-
nace of iron: "that thine eyes may be 52
open unto the supplication of thy servant,
and unto the supplication of thy people
Israel, to hearken unto them in all that
they call for unto thee. For thou didst 53
separate them from among all the people
of the earth, to be thine inheritance, "as
thou spakest by the hand of Moses thy
servant, when thou broughtest our fathers
out of Egypt, O Lord God.
And it was so, that when Solomon had 54
made an end of praying all this prayer
and supplication unto the Lord, he arose
from before the altar of the Lord, from
"kneeling on his knees with his hands
spread np to heaven. And he stood, 55
and yblessed all the congregation of
Israel loith a loud voice, saying. Blessed 56
be the Lord, that hath given rest unto
his people Israel, according to all that
he promised: there hath not 'failed one
word of all his good promise, which he
promised by the hand of Moses his ser-
57 vant. The Lord our God be with us,
as he was with our fathers: let him not
58 2 leave us, nor ^forsake us: that //t' may
''incline our hearts unto him, to walk in
all his ways, and to keep his command-
ments, and his statutes, and his judg-
ments, which he commanded our fathers.
59 And let these my words, wherewith I
have made supplication before the Lord,
be nigh unto the Lord our God day and
night, that he maintain the "^cause of his
ser\-ant, and the cause of his people Is-
rael 'at all times, as the matter shall
60 require: ''that all the people of the earth
may know that <=the Lord is God, and
61 that there is none else. Let your heart
therefore be fperfect with the Lord our
God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep
his commandments, as at this day.
62 sAnd the king, and all Israel with
him, offered sacrifice before the Lord.
63 And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace
offerings, which he offered unto the Lord,
two and twenty thousand o.xen, and an
hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So
the king and all the children of Israel
64 dedicated the house of the Lord. The
same day did the king hallow the middle
of the court that 7C'as before the house of
the Lord: for there he offered burnt
offerings, and meat offerings, and the
fat of the peace offerings: because ''the
brasen altar that was before the Lord
7cias too little to receive the burnt offer-
ings, and meat offerings, and the fat of
65 the peace offerings. And at that time
Solomon held 'a feast, and all Israel
with him, a great congregation, from ^ the
entering in of Hamath unto ''the river
of Egypt, before the Lord our God,
'seven days and seven days, even four-
66 teen days. 'On the eighth day he sent the
people away: and they "blessed the king,
and went unto their '"tents joyful and
"glad of heart for all the goodness that
the Lord had done for David his ser-
vant, and for Israel his people.
And "it came to pass, when Solomon
had finished the building of the house
of the Lord, ''and the king's house, and
all Solomon's '^desire which he was pleas-
2 ed to do, that the Lord appeared to
Solomon the second time, ''as he had
3 appeared unto him at 'Gibeon. And
the Lord said unto him, I have heard
thy prayer and thy supplication, that
thou hast made before me : I have hal-
lowed this house, which thou hast built.

integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to
do according to all that I have command-
ed thee, and wilt keep my statutes and
my judgments: then I will establish the 5
throne of thy kingdom upon Israel for
ever, '^as I promised to David thy father,
saying. There shall not fail thee a man
upon the throne of Israel. But if you 6
shall at all 'turn from following me, you or
your children, and will not keep my com-
mandments a/id my statutes which I have
set before you, but go and serve other
gods, and worship them: ™then will 1 7
cut off Israel out of the land which I have
given them ; and this house, which I have
hallowed "for my name, will I cast out
of my sight; °and Israel shall be a pro-
verb and a byword among all people:
and at this house, f-ichich is high, every 3
one that passeth by it shall be astonish-
ed, and shall hiss; and they shall say,
'iWhy hath the Lord done thus unto
this land, and to this house? And they 9
shall answer. Because they forsook the
Lord their God, who brought forth their
fathers out of the land of Egypt, and
have taken hold upon other gods, and
have worshipped them, and served them :
therefore hath the Lord brought upon
them all this evil.
And ■'it came to pass at the end ofm
^twenty years, when Solomon had built
the two houses, the house of the Lord,
and the king's house, (now Hiram the n
king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with
cedar trees and fir trees, and with gold,
according to all his desire,) t/iat then
king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities
in the land of Galilee. And Hiram came 12
out from Tyre to see the cities which
Solomon had given him; and they 'pleas-
ed him not. And he said, 'What cities 13
ai-e these which thou hast given me, my
brother? And he called them the land
of'Cabul unto this day. And Hiram 14
sent to the king sixscore talents of gold.
And this is the reason of "the levy 15
which king Solomon raised; for to build
the house of the Lord, and his own
house, and "Millo, and the wall of Jeru-
salem, and vHazor, and ^Megiddo, and
^Gezer. For Pharaoh king of Egypt had 16
gone up, and taken Gezer, and burnt it
with fire, and slain the ''Canaanites that
dwelt in the city, and given it for a pre-

And when the queen of Sheba had seen 4
all Solomon's wisdom, and the house
that he had built, and the meat of his 5
table, and the sitting of his servants, and
the 'attendance of his ministers, and
their apparel, and his "cupbearers, and
''his ascent by which he went up unto
the house of the Lord; 'there was no
more spirit in her. And she said to the 6
king, It was a true 'report that I heard
in mine own land of thy "acts and of
thy wisdom. Howbeit I believed not 7
the words, until I came, and mine eyes
had seen //.■ and behold, the half was
not told me: *thy wisdom and prospe-
rity exceedeth the fame which I heard.
^Happy are thy men, happy arc these 8
thy servants, which stand continually be-
fore thee, and that hear thy wisdom,
s Blessed be the Lord thy God, which 9
delighted in thee, to set thee on the
throne of Israel : ''because the Lord loved
Israel for ever, therefore made he thee
king, 'to do judgment and justice. And 10
she Jgave the king an hundred and
twenty talents of gold, and of spices
very great store, and precious stones:
there came no more such abundance of
spices as these which the queen of She-
ba gave to king Solomon. ''And the n
navy also of Hiram, that brought gold
from 'Ophir, brought in from Ophir great
plenty of "almug trees, and precious
stones. And the king made of the al- 12
mug trees 'pillars for the house of the
Lord, and for the king's house, harps
also and psalteries for singers : there
came no such almug trees, nor were
seen unto this day. And king Solomon 13
gave unto the queen of Sheba all her
desire, \s\\2Xsoevcr she asked, besides that
which Solomon gave her 'of his royal
bounty. So she turned and went to her
own country, she and her servants.
'"Now the weight of gold that came m
to Solomon in one year was si.x hundred
threescore and six talents of gold, be- 15
sides that he had of the merchantmen,
and of the traffick of the '^spice mer-
chants, and of all the kings of Arabia,
and of the 'governors of the country.
And king Solomon made two hundred 16
targets of beaten gold : six hundred she-
kels of gold went to one target. And he 17
made three hundred "shields of beaten
gold; P three pound (/gold went to one
shield: and the king jjut them in "ithe
house of the forest of Lebanon. More- is
over the king made a great throne of
ivory, and overlaid it with the ''best
19 gold. The throne had six steps, and
the top of the throne 7Lias round 'be-
hind: and there 7i'cre 'stays on either
side on the place of the seat, and two
20 lions stood beside the stays. And
twelve lions stood there on the one side
and on the other upon the six steps:
there was not 'the like made in any
21 kingdom. And all king Solomon's drink-
ing vessels n'cre of gold, and all the ves-
sels of ^the house of the forest of Le-
banon were (/pure gold: 'none 7ve}-e of
silver: it was nothing accounted of in
22 the days of Solomon. For the king had
at sea a navy of 'Tharshish with the
navy of Hiram: once in three years
came the navy of Tharshish, bringing
gold, and silver, 'ivor}', and apes, and
23 peacocks. So "king Solomon exceeded
all the kings of the earth for riches and
24 for wisdom. And all the earth 'sought
to Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which
25 God had put in his heart. And they
brought every man his "present, vessels
of silver, and vessels of gold, and gar-
ments, and armour, and spices, horses,
26 and mufes, a rate year by year. ^And
Solomon gathered together chariots and
horsemen : and he had ^a thousand and
four hundred chariots, and twelve thou-
sand horsemen, whom he bestowed in
the cities for chariots, and with the king
27 at Jerusalem. ^And the king 'made sil-
ver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and
cedars made he to be as •''the sycomore
trees that arc in the vale, for abundance.
28 'And Solomon had ''horses brought out
of Egypt, and linen yarn : the king's
merchants received the linen yarn at a
29 price. And a chariot came up and went
out of Egypt for six hundred shekels of
silver, and a horse for an hundred and
fifty: and so for all the kings of "the
Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, did
they bring them out 'by their means.
But ^king Solomon loved ''many strange
women, 'together with the daughter of
Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Am-
monites, Edomites, Zidonians, (?;/(/ '^Hit-
2tites; of the nations concerning \i\-{\c!n the
Lord said unto the children of Israel,
''Ye shall not go in to them, neither
shall they come in unto you : for surely
they will turn away your heart after
their gods : Solomon clave unto these in
3 love. And he had seven hundred wives,
princesses, and three hundred concu-
bines : and his wi\-es turned awav his

heart. For it came to pass, when Solo- ^
mon was old, that 'his wives turned
away his heart after other gods: and
•■his heart was not perfect with the Lord
his God, sas was the heart of David his
father. For Solomon went after ''Ash- 5
toreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and
after "Milcom the abomination of the
Ammonites. And Solomon did evil in 6
the sight of the Lord, and 'went not
fully after the Lord, as did David his
father. Then did Solomon 'build a high ^
place for 'Chemosh, the abomination of
Moab, in ''the hill that is before Jeru-
salem, and for 'Molech, the abomina-
tion of the children of Amnion. And s
likewise did he for all his strange wives,
which burnt incense and sacrificed unto
their gods.
And the Lord was angry with Solo- 9
mon, because ""his heart was turned
from the Lord God of Israel, which
had appeared unto him "twice, and 10
°had commanded him concerning this
thing, that he should not go after other
gods: but he kept not ///(// which the
Lord commanded. Wherefore the Lord h
said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this
•is done of thee, and thou hast not kept
my covenant and my statutes, which I
have commanded thee, pI will surely
rend the kingdom from thee, and will
give it to thy servant. Notwithstanding 12
in thy days I will not do it for David
thy father's sake : but I will rend it out
of the hand of thy son. iHowbeit 1 .3
^\■ill not rend away all the kingdom; but
will give ■'one tribe to thy son for Da-
vid my servant's sake, and for Jerusa-
lem's sake, ^which I have chosen.
And the Lord stirred up an adver- 14
sary unto Solomon, Hadad the Edom-
ite : he was of the king's seed in Edom.
' For it came to pass, when David was 15
in Edom, and Joab the captain of the
host was gone up to bury the slain, after
he had smitten every male in Edom;
(for si.x months did Joab remain there 16
with all Israel, until he had cut off
every male in Edom :) that Hadad fled, 17
he and certain Edomites of his father's
servants with him, to go into Egyjit;
Hadad being yet a little child. And they is
arose out of " Midian, and came to " Pa-
ran: and they took men with them out
of Paran, and they came to Egypt, unto
Pharaoh king of Egypt; which gave him
a house, and appointed him victuals,
and gave him land. And Hadad found jg
great favour in the sight of Pharaoh, so
that he gave him to wife the sister of his
own wite, the sister of Tahpenes the
20 "queen. And the sister of Tahpenes ' ch. 15. 13.
bare him Genubath his son, whom Tah- \ ch".' i^ Hi
penes weaned in Pharaoh's house : and J'="'- '3- ^s.
Genubath was /;/ Pharaoh's household int?eHeb.
21 among the sons of Pharaoh. And when
Hadad heard in Egypt that •■* David slept ^ch. 2. 10,34.
with his fathers, and that Joab the cap-
tain of the host was dead, Hadad said
to Pharaoh, * Let me depart, that I may t Heb. Send
22 go to mine own countrj'. Then Pharaoh ""^ "''""J'-
said unto him, But what hast thou lacked
with me, that behold, thou seekest to go
to thine own country? And he answered,
'Nothing: howbeit let me go in any wise, t Heb. Xot.
23 And God stirred him up another ad-
versar}', Rezon the son of P^liadah, which
fled from his lord >'Hadadezer king of ^f™'';
24 Zobah : and he gathered men unto him,
and became captain over a band, when

have forsaken me, and have worshipped
•'Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zido-
nians, 'Chemosh the god of the Moab-
ites, and i^Milcom the god of the chil-
dren of Amnion, and have not walked
in my ways, to do that which is right in
mine eyes, and to keep my statutes and
my judgments, as did David his father.
Howbeit I will not take the whole king- 34
dom out of his hand: but ""I will make
him prince all the days of his life for
David my servant's sake, whom I chose,
because he kept my commandments and
my statutes: but "I will take the king- 35
dom out of his son's hand, and will
give it unto thee, even ten tribes. And 36
unto his son will I give °one tribe, that
David my servant may have a 'light
alway before me in Jerusalem, the city
Pwhich I have chosen me to put my
name there. And I will take thee, and 37
thou shalt reign according to all that
thy soul desireth, and shalt be king over
Israel. And it shall be, if thou wilt 38
hearken unto all that 1 command thee,
and wilt walk in my ways, and do that
is right in my sight, to keep my statutes
and ray commandments, as David my
servant did; that il \vill be with thee,
and ■■ build thee a sure house, as I
built for David, and will give Israel
unto thee. And I will for this afflict the 39
seed of David, but not for ever. Solo- 40
mon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam.
And Jeroboam arose, and fled into Egypt,
unto ^Shishak king of Egypt, and was
in Egypt until the death of Solomon.
And 'the rest of the "acts of Solo- 41
mon, and all that he did, and his wis-
dom, are they not written in the book
of the " acts of Solomon ? And the 42
'time that Solonion reigned in Jeru-
salem over all Israel 'ivas forty years.
And Solomon "slept with his fathers, 43
and "was buried in the city of David
his father : and •" Rehoboam his son
reigned in his stead.
And => Rehoboam went to •'Shechem :
for all Israel were come to Shechem to
make him king. And it came to pass, 2
when "^Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who
was yet in >* Egypt, heard of it, (for he
was fled from the presence of king So-
lomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt;)
that they sent and called him. And 3
Jeroboam and all the congregation of
Israel came, and spake unto Reho-
boam, saying, "= Thy father made our 4
yoke grievous : now therefore make thou
the grievous service of thy father, and
his heavy yoke which he put upon us,
5 lighter, and we will serve thee. And
he said unto them. Depart yet for
three days, then come again to me.
6 And the people departed. And king
Rehoboam consulted with the old men,
that fstood before Solomon his father
while hejr/ lived, and said. How do you
advise that / may answer this people?
7 And they spake unto him, saying, s If
thou wilt be a servant unto this people
this day, and wilt ser\'e them, and an-
swer them, and speak good words to
them, then they will be thy servants for
8 ever. But he forsook the counsel of
the old men, which they had given him,
and consulted with the young men that
were grown up with him, and which
gfstood before him: and he said unto
them. What counsel give ye that we
may answer this people, who have
spoken to me, saying. Make the yoke
which thy father did put upon us
10 lighter? And the young men that were
grown up with him spake unto him,
saying. Thus shalt thou speak unto this
people that spake unto thee, saying.
Thy father made our yoke heavy, but
make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt
thou say unto them. My little finger
shall be thicker than my father's loins.
11 And now whereas my father did lade
you with a heavy yoke, I will add to
your yoke : my father hath chastised you
with i* whips, but I will chastise you
12 with 'scorpions. So Jeroboam and all
the people came to Rehoboam the third
day, Jas the king had appointed, saying,
13 Come to me again the third day. And
the king answered the people 'roughly,
and forsook the old men's counsel that
14 they gave him ; and spake to them after
the counsel of the young men, saying,
^ My father made your yoke heavy, and
I will add to your yoke : my father also
chastised you with whips, but I will
15 chastise you with scorpions. Wherefore
the king hearkened not unto the peo-
ple; for the cause was 'from the Lord,
that he might perform his saying, which
■"the Lord spake by Ahijah the Shi-
lonite unto Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
16 So when all Israel saw that the king
hearkened not unto them, the people
answered the king, saying,
"^\'llat portion have we in David?
Neither have we inheritance in the
son of Jesse :

To your "tents, O Israel:
Now see to thine own house, David.
So Israel departed unto their tents.
But as for "the children of Israel which 17
dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam
reigned over them. Then king Reho- is
boam sent PAdoram, who loas over
the tribute; and all Israel stoned him
with stones, that he died. There-
fore king Rehoboam * made speed to
get him up to his chariot, to flee to Je-
rusalem. So 1 1srael 'rebelled against 19
the house of David unto this day.
And it came to pass, when all Israel 20
heard that Jeroboam was come again,
that they sent and called him unto the
congregation, and made him king over
all Israel : there was none that followed
the house of David, but the tribe of Ju-
dah 'only.
And when Rehoboam was come to 21
Jerusalem, he assembled all the house
of Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin,
an hundred and fourscore thousand cho-
sen men, which were warriors, to fight
against the house of Israel, to bring the
kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of
Solomon. But the word of God came 22
unto ""Shemaiah 'the man of God, say-
ing, Speak unto Rehoboam, the son of 23
Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all
the house of Judah and Benjamin, and
to the remnant of the people, saying.
Thus saith the Lord, Ye shall not go 24
up. nor light against your brethren the
children of Israel: return every man to
his house; "for this thing is from me.
They hearkened therefore to the word
of the Lord, and returned to depart,
according to the word of the Lord.
Then Jeroboam •''built Shechem ^in 25
mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein ; and
went out from thence, and built ^Pe-
nuel. And Jeroboam said in his heart, 26
Now shall the kingdom return to the
house of David: if ^this people go up 27
to do sacrifice in the house of the Lord
at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this
people turn again unto their lord, even
unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and
they shall kill me, and go again to Re-
hoboam king of Judah. Whereupon the 28
king took counsel, and made ''two calves
of gold,, and said unto them, // is too
much for j'ou to go up to Jerusalem:
<= behold thy gods, O Israel, which
brought thee up out of the land of
Egypt. And he set the one in ''Beth-el, 29
and the other put he in =Dan. f And 30
this thing became a sin : for the people
went to worship before sthe one, even
31 unto 'Dan. And he made ''a house of
high places, and 'made priests of the
lowest of the people, which were not of
32 the sons of Levi. And Jeroboam or-
dained a feast in the eighth month, on
the fifteenth day of the month, like
unto -"the feast that is in Judah, and
he 'offered upon the altar (so did he
in Beth-el,) ' sacrificing unto the calves
that he had made: and he placed in
Beth-el ''the priests of the high places
33 which he had made. So he ' offered
upon the altar which he had made in
Beth-el the fifteenth day of the eighth
■ month, even in the month which he had
'devised of his own heart; and ordained
a feast unto the children of Israel : and he
'offered uponthealtar,'and burnt incense.
And behold, there •''came ''a man of
God out of Judah by the word of the
Lord unto Beth-el : and Jeroboam stood
2 by the altar 'to burn incense. And he
cried against the altar in the word of
the Lord, and said, O altar, altar, thus
saith the Lord; Behold, a child shaU be
born unto the house of David, "^Josiah
by name; and upon thee shall he offer
the priests of the high places that burn
incense upon thee, and men's bones
3 shall be burnt upon thee. And he gave
■^a sign the same day, saying. This is
the sign which the Lord hath spoken;
Behold, the altar shall be rent, and the
ashes that arc upon it shall be poured
4 out. And it came to pass, when king
Jeroboam heard the saying of the man
of God, which had cried against the
altar in Beth-el, that he put forth his
hand from the altar, saying. Lay hold
on him. And his hand, which he put
forth against him, dried up, so that he
5 could not pull it in again to him. The
altar also 7i.<as rent, and the ashes pour-
ed out from the altar, according to the
sign which the man of God had given
6 by the word of the Lord. And the
king answered and said unto the man
of God, '=Intreat now the face of the
Lord thy God, and f pray for me, that
my hand may be restored me again.
And the man of God besought ' the
Lord, and the king's hand was restored
him again, and became as /;" was before.
7 And the king said unto the man of God,
Come home with me, and srefresh thy-
self, and '■I will give thee a reward.

king, 'If thou wilt give me half thine
house, I will not go in with thee, nei-
ther will I eat bread nor drink water in
this place : for so was it charged me by 9
the word of the Lord, saying, Eat no
bread, nor drink water, nor turn again
by the same way that thou camest. So 10
he went another way, and returned not
by the way that he came to Beth-el.
Now there dwelt an old prophet in n
J Beth-el; and his son came and told
him all the works that the man of God
had done t/iat day in Beth-el : the words
which he had spoken unto the king,
them they told also to their father. And 12
their father said unto them. What way
went he? For his sons had seen what .
way the man of God went, which came
from Judah. And he said unto his 13
sons. Saddle me the ass. So they sad-
dled him the ass: and he rode thereon,
and went after the man of God, and 14
found him sitting under an oak: and
he said unto him, Art thou the man of
God that camest from Judah? And he
said, I am. Then he said unto him, 15
Come home with me, and eat bread.
And he said, ''I may not return with 16
thee, nor go in with thee : neither will
I eat bread nor drink water with thee
in this place: for *it was said to me 'by 17
the word of the Lord, Thou shalt eat
no bread nor drink water there, nor
turn again to go by the way that thou
camest. He said unto him, I am a 18
prophet also as thou art; and an angel
spake unto me by the word of the
Lord, saying. Bring him back mth thee
into thine house, that he may eat bread
and drink water. But he lied unto him.
So he went back with him, and did eat 19
bread in his house, and drank water.
And it came to pass, as they sat at the 20
table, that the word of the Lord came
unto the prophet that brought him back :
and he cried unto the man of God that 21
came from Judah, saying. Thus saith
the Lord, Forasmuch as thou hast dis-
obeyed the mouth of the Lord, and
hast not ke]5t the commandment which
the Lord thy God commanded thee,
but camest back, and hast eaten bread 22
and drunk water in the place, of the
which t/ic Lord did say to thee, Eat
no bread, and drink no water; thy car-
case shall not come unto the sepulchre
of thy fathers.
And it came to pass, after he had 23
eaten bread, and after he had dnmk,
that he saddled for him the ass, to wit,
for the prophet whom he had brought
24 back. And when he was gone, ™a lion
met him by the way, and slew him:
and his carcase was cast in the way,
and the ass stood by it, the lion also
25 stood by the carcase. And behold, men
passed by, and saw the carcase cast in
the way, and the lion standing by the
carcase: and they came and told // in
the city "where the old prophet dwelt.
26 And when the prophet that brought
him back from the way heard t/iercqf,
he said. It is the man of God, wlio was
disobedient unto the word of the Lord :
therefore the Lord hath delivered him
unto the lion, which hath * torn him,
and slain him, according to the word of
the Lord, which he spake unto him.
27 And he spake to his sons, saying, Sad-
dle me the ass. And they saddled him.
2S And he went and found his carcase cast
in the way, and the ass and the lion
standing by the carcase: the lion had
not eaten the carcase, nor *torn the ass.
29 And the prophet took up the carcase of
the man of God, and laid it upon the
ass, and brought it back: and the old
prophet came to the city, to mourn and
30 to bury him. And he laid his carcase
in his own grave; and °they mourned
over him, saying, Alas, my brother.
31 And it came to pass, after he had
buried him, that he spake to his sons,
saying. When I am dead, then bury me
in the sepulchre wherein the man of
God is buried; Play my bones beside
33 his bones : ifor the saying which he cried
by the word of the Lord against the
altar in Beth-el, and against all 'the
houses of the high places which are in
the cities of '^Samaria, shall surely come
to pass.
33 After this thing Jeroboam returned
not from his evil way, but 'made again
' of the lowest of the people priests of
the high places: whosoever would, he
'consecrated him, and he became one of
34 the priests of the high places. "And
this thing became sin unto the house
of Jeroboam, even ''to cut // off, and
to destroy it from off the face of the
earth.
At that time Abijah the son of Jero-
2boam fell sick. And Jeroboam said to
his wife, Arise, 1 pray thee, and disguise
thyself, that thou be not known to be
the wife of Jeroboam; and get thee to

prophet, which told me that ^I should
be king over this people. And "^take 3
'with thee ten loaves, and 'cracknels,
and a 'cruse of honey, and go to him:
he shall tell thee what shall become of
the child. And Jeroboam's wife did so, 4
and arose, and went to ='Shiloh, and
came to the house of Ahijah. But Ahi-
jah could not see; for his eyes 'were set
by reason of his age. And the Lord 5
said unto Ahijah, Behold, the wife of
Jeroboam cometh to ask a thing of thee
for her son; for he is sick: thus and
thus shalt thou say unto her: for it shall
be, when she cometh in, that she shall
feign herself to be another 7iW;/(7«. And 6
it was so, when Ahijah heard the sound
of her feet, as she came in at the door,
that he said. Come in, thou wife of Je-
roboam ; why feignest thou thyself to be
another? for I am sent to thee with
'heavy tidings. Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus ^
saith the Lord God of Israel, ''Foras-
much as I e.xalted thee from among the
people, and made thee prince over my
people Israel, and =rent the kingdom e
away from the house of David, and gave
it thee : and yi:t thou hast not been as
my servant David, 'who kept my com-
mandments, and who followed me with
all his heart, to do that only which ivas
right in mine eyes; but hast done evil 9
above all that were before thee: sfor
thou hast gone and made thee other
gods, and ''molten images, to provoke
me to anger, and 'hast cast me behind
thy back : therefore, behold, J I will bring 10
evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and
will cut off from Jeroboam "^him that
pisseth against the wall, ^ and him that is
shut up and left in Israel, and "'will
take away the remnant of the house of
Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung,
till it be all gone. "Him that dieth of n
Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat;
and him that dieth in the field .shall the
fowls of the air eat: for the Lord hath
spoken it. Arise thou therefore, get 12
thee to thine own house : and when thy
feet enter into the city, the child shall
die. And all Israel shall mourn for him, 13
and bur}' him: for he only of Jeroboam
shall come to the grave, because in him
"there Ts found some good thing toward
the Lord God of Israel in the house of
Jeroboam. PMoreover the I^ord shall 14
raise him up a king over Israel, who
shall cut off the house of Jeroboam that
day: ibut what? even now. For the Lord 15
shall smite Israel, as a reed is shaken
in the water, and he shall ■'root up Is-
rael out of this ^good land, which he
gave to their fathers, and shall scatter
them 'beyond the river, "because they
have made their groves, "provoking the
16 Lord to anger. And he shall give Is-
rael up because of the sins of Jeroboam,
who did sin, and "who made Israel to
17 sin. And Jeroboam's wife arose, and
departed, and came to "Tirzah: and
when she came to the >' threshold of the
isdoor, the child died; and they buried
him; and all Israel mourned for him,
=^according to the word of the Lord,
which he spake by the hand of his ser-
igvant Ahijah the prophet. And the rest
of the acts of Jeroboam, how he ^war-
red, and how he reigned, behold they
are written in the book of die chronicles
20 of the kings of Israel. And the days
which Jeroboam reigned were two and
twenty years: and he 'slept with his fa-
thers, and Nadab his son reigned in his
stead.
ai And Rehoboam the son of Solomon
reigned in Judah. ''Rehoboam was forty
and one years old when he began to
reign, and he reigned seventeen years
in Jerusalem, the city ■= which the Lord
did choose out of all the tribes of Israel,
to put his name there. And his mo-
ther's name luas ''Naamah an Aramo-
22 nitess. ■= And Judah did evil in the sight
of the Lord, and they ^provoked him
to jealousy with their sins which they
had committed, above all that their fa-
a3thers had done. For they also built
them shigh places, and 'images, and
''groves, on 'every high hill, and 'Sunder
24 every green tree. And there were also
''sodomites in the land: and they did ac-
cording to all the abominations of the
nations which the Lord cast out before
the children of Israel.
25 And it came to pass ' in the fifth year
of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king
of Egypt "'came up against Jerusalem:
26 and he took away the treasures of the
house of the Lord, and the treasures of
the king's house; he even took away all :
and he took away all the shields of gold
27 "which Solomon had made. And king
Rehoboam made in their stead brasen
shields, and committed them unto the
hands of the chief of the 'guard, whicli
28 kept the door of the king's house. And
it was so, when the king went into the
house of the Lord, that the guard bare

acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did,

David. ^And his mother's name 'was

sins of his father, which he had done
before him: and '^his heart was not per-
fect with the Lord his God, as the
heart of David his fatlier. Nevertheless 4
for David's sake did the Lord his God
give him a "lamp in Jerusalem, to set
up his son after him, and to establish
Jerusalem: because David '^did that 5
which was right in the eyes of the Lord,

Even in the third year of Asa king of =8
Judah did Baasha slay him, and reigned
in his stead. And it came to pass, when 29
he reigned, that he smote all the house
of Jeroboam; he left not to Jeroboam
any that breathed, until he had destroyed
him, according unto "the saying of the
Lord, which he spake by his servant
"Ahijah the Shilonite: because of Pthe'30
sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and
which he made Israel sin, by his provo-
cation wherefi'///; he provoked the Lord
God of Israel to anger. Now the rest 31

'5 And there was war between Asa and 32
Baasha king of Israel all their days. In 3j
the third year of Asa king of Judah be-
gan Baasha the son of Ahijah to reign
over all Israel in <^Tirzah, twenty and
four years. And he did evil in the sight 34
of the Lord, and ■■ walked in the way of
Jeroboam and in his sin wherewith he
made Israel to sin. Then the word of
the Lord came to ^Jehu the son of
•"Hanani against Baasha, saying, "^Foras- 2
much as I e.xalted thee out of the dust,
and made thee prince over my people
Israel; and ''thou hast walked in the
way of Jeroboam, and hast made my
people Israel to sin, to provoke me to
anger with their sins; behold, I will 3
''take away the posterity of Baasha, and
the posterity of his house; and will make
thy house like ^the house of Jeroboam

Baasha in the city shall the dogs eat;

did, and his might, are they not written

his fathers, and was buried in '^Tirzah:
and Elah his son reigned in his stead.
And also by the hand of the prophet ^
'Jehu the son of Hanani came the word
of the Lord against Baasha, and against
his house, even for all the evil that he
did in the sight of the Lord, in provok-
ing him to anger with the work of his

13 In the twenty and seventh year of
Asa king of Judah did Zimri reign seven
days in Tirzah. And the people ^uere
encamped "J against Gibbethon, which g^'Ji'^lij'J'
li belonged to the Philistines. And the 44-
people that were encamped heard say,
Zimri hath conspired, and hath also
slain the king: wherefore all Israel made
Omri, the captain of the host, king over
17 Israel that day in the camp. And Omri
went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel
with him, and they besieged Tirzah.
is And it came to pass, when Zimri saw
that the city was taken, that he went
into the palace of the king's house, and
burnt the king's house over him with
19 fire, and died, for his sins which he sin-

21 Then were the people of Israel di-

followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to
make him king ; and half followed Omri.

vailed against the people that followed

bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for
two talents of silver, and built oil the
hill, and called the name of the city
which he built, after the name of She-
mer, owner of the hill, ♦"Samaria. But 25
"Omri wrought evil in the eyes of the
Lord, and "did worse than all that were
before him. For he walked in all the 26
way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and
in his sin wherewith he made Israel to
sin, to provoke the Lord God of Israel

and his might that he shewed, are they
not written in the book of the chronicles
of the kings of Israel? So Omri slept =8
with his fathers, and was buried in Sa-
maria : and Ahab his son reigned in his
stead.
And in the thirty and eighth year of 29
Asa king of Judah hci:;an Ahab the son
of Omri to reign over Israel : and Ahab
the son of Omri reigned over Israel in
Samaria twenty and two years. And 30
Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the
sight of the Lord v above all that were
before him. And it came to pass, *as 31
if it had been a light thing for him to
walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of
that ^he took to wife Jezebel
the daughter of Ethbaal king of the
^'Zidonians, and went and ^sei-ved Baal,
and worshipped him. And he reared 32
up an altar for Baal in <=the house of
Baal, which he had built in Samaria.
And Ahab made "la grove; and Ahab 33
did more to provoke the Lord God of
Israel to anger '^Ihan all the kings of
Israel that were before him.
In his days did Hiel the Bethelite 34
build fjericho: he laid the foundation
thereof in Abiram his iirstborn, and set
up the gates thereof in his youngest
son Segub, saccording to the word of
the Lord, which he spake by Joshua

brook; and I have commanded the ra-
svens to feed thee there. So he went
and did according unto the word of the
Lord: for he went and dwelt by the
brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.
6 And the ravens brought him bread and
flesh in the morning, and bread and
flesh in the evening; and he drank of
7 the brook. And it came to pass 'after
a while, that the brook dried up, be-
cause there had been no rain in the
land.
8 And the word of the Lord came
9 unto him, saying. Arise, get thee to
<= 'Zarephath, which bclongeth to Zidon,
and dwell there: behold, I have com-
manded a widow woman there to sus-
10 tain thee. So he arose and went to
^Zarephath. And when he came to the
gate of the city, behold, the widow
woman 7L>as there 'gathering of sticks:
and he called to her, and said, Fetch
me, I pray thee, a little water in a
11 vessel, that I may drink. And as she
was going to fetch it, he called to her,
and said. Bring me, I pray thee, a
12 morsel of bread in thine hand. And
she said, ^As the Lord thy God liveth,
I have not a cake, but a handful of
meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a
cruse: and behold, lam fgathering etwo
sticks, that I may go in and dress it for
me and my son, that we may eat it,
13 and die. And Elijah said unto her.
Fear not; go and do as thou hast said:
but make me thereof a little cake first,
and bring it unto me, and after make
■4 for thee and for thy son. For thus
saith the Lord God of Israel, The
barrel of meal shall not waste, neither
shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day
that the Lord 'sendeth rain upon the
15 earth. And she went and did accord-
ing to the saying of Elijah: and she,
and he, and her house, did eat '^matiy
16 days. And the barrel of meal wasted
not, neither did the cruse of oil foil,
according to the word of the Lord,
which he spake 'by Elijah.
17 And it came to pass after these
things, that the son of the woman, the
mistress of the house, fell sick; and his
sickness was so sore, that there was no
18 breath left in him. And she said unto
Elijah, ''What have I to do with thee,
O thou 'man of God? art thou come

he took him out of her bosom, and
carried him up into a ''loft, where he
abode, and laid him upon his own bed.
And 'he cried unto the Lord, and said, 20
O Lord my God, hast thou also brought
evil upon the widow with whom I so-
journ, by slaying her son.' 'And he 21
•stretched himself upon the child three
times, and cried unto the Lord, and
said, O Lord my God, I pray thee, let
this child's soul come 'into him again.
And the Lord heard the voice of Elijah; 22
and the soul of tlie child came into him
again, and he "'revived. And Elijah took 23
the child, and brought him down out
of the ''chamber into the house, and
delivered him unto his mother : and
Elijah said. See, thy son liveth. And 24
the woman said to Elijah, Now by this
"I know that thou art a 'man of God,
and that the word of the Lord in thy
mouth is truth.
And it came to pass after "many
days, that the word of the Lord came
to Elijah in the third year, saying. Go,
shew thyself unto Ahab; and ''I will
send rain upon the earth. And Elijah 2
went to shew himself unto Ahab. And
there 7L'as a sore famine in Samaria.
And Ahab called 'Obadiah, which jvas 3
*the governor of his house. (Now Oba-
diah feared the Lord greatly: for it 4
was so, when 'Jezebel cut off the pro-
phets of the Lord, that Obadiah took
an hundred prophets, and hid them bv
fifty in a cave, and fed them with
bread and water.) And Aliab said unto 5
Obadiah, Go into the land, unto all
fountains of water, and unto all brooks:
peradventure we may find grass to save
the horses and mules alive, 'that we
leese not all the beasts. So they divided 6
the land between them to pass through-
out it : Ahab went one way by himself,
and Obadiah went another way by him-
self.
And as Obadiah was in the way, ^
behold Elijah met him: and he knew
him, and fell on his face, and said, Art
thou that my lord Elijah? And he an- s
swered him, I am: go, tell thy lord.
Behold, Elijah is here. And he said, 9
What have I sinned, that thou wouldest
deliver thy servant into the hand of
Ahab, to slay me? As the Lord thy 10
God liveth, there is no nation or king-
dom, whither my lord hath not sent to
seek thee : and when they said. He is
not there; he took an oath of the king-
dom and nation, that they found thee
11 not. And now thou sayest. Go, tell
12 thy lord. Behold, Elijah is here. And
it shall come to pass, as soon as I am
gone from thee, that '^the spirit of the " = Kin. 2. 16.
Lord shall carry thee whither I know j^s^s'T'
not; and so when I come and tell Ahab, [^^^'l
and he cannot find thee, he shall slay '
me: but / thy ser\-ant fear the Lord
13 from my youth. Was it not told my
lord what I did when Jezebel slew the
prophets of the Lord, how I hid an
hundred men of the Lord's prophets
by fifty in a cave, and fed them 7iiit/i

est, Go, tell thy lord. Behold, Elijah
15 is here: and he shall slay me. And
Elijah said, '' As the Lord of hosts '' See ch. 17.
liveth, before whom I stand, I will "'
surely shew myself unto him to day.
16 So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and
told him : and Ahab went to meet
Elijah.
17 And it came to pass, when AJiab
saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him,
"Art thou he that ftroubleth Israel? " ^°''''- ='■

'It is well spoken. And Elijah said 25
unto the prophets of Baal, Choose you
one bullock for yourselves, and dress
// first; for ye are many; and call on
the name of your gods, but put no fire
wider. And they took the bullock 26
which was given them, and they dress-
ed ?y, and called on the name of Baal
from morning even until noon, saying,
O Baal, 'hear us. But there was no
voice, nor any that "answered. And
they 'leapt upon the altar which was
made. And it came to pass at noon, 27
that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry
* aloud: for he is a god; either "he is
talking, or he 'is pursuing, or he is in a
journey, or peradventure he sleepeth,
and must be awaked. And they cried 28
loud, and ''cut themselves after their
manner with knives and lancets, till
'the blood gushed out upon them. And 29
it came to pass, when midday was past,
and they prophesied until t/ie time of
the 'offering of ^the evening sacrifice,
that there ivas 'neither voice, nor any
to answer, nor any 'that regarded. And 30
Elijah said unto all the people. Come
near unto me. And all the people
came near unto him. And he repaired
the altar of the Lord that was "broken
down. And Elijah took twelve stones, 31
according to the number of the tribes
of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the
word of the Lord came, saying, -"^ Israel
shall be thy name : and with the stones 32
he built an altar in the name of the
Lord: and he made a trench about
the altar, as great as would contain
two measures of seed. And he >'put33
the wood in order, and cut the bullock
in pieces, and laid him on the wood,
and said. Fill four barrels with water,
and ^pour it on the burnt sacrifice, and
on the wood. And he said, Do it the 34
second time. And they did it the
.second time. And he said. Do it the
third time. And they did // the third
time. And the water 'ran round about 35
the altar; and he filled ='the trench also
with water. And it came to pass at 36
the time of the offering of the evening
sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came
near, and said. Lord ''God of Abra-
ham, Isaac, and of Israel, "^let it be
known this day that thou art God in
Israel, and that I am thy servant, and
that ''I have done all these things at
thy word. Hear me, O Lord, hear 37
me, that this people may know that
thou art the Lord God, and that thou
hast turned their heart back again.
38 Then "^the fire of the Lord fell, and
consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the
wood, and the stones, and the dust,
and licked up the water that 'was in
39 the trench. And when all the people
saw it, they fell on their faces: and
they said, fThe Lord, he is the God;
40 the Lord, he is the God. And P^lijah
said unto them, 'Take the prophets of
Baal ; let not one of them escape. And
they 'took them: and Elijah brought
them down to the sbrook Kishon, and
•"slew them there.
41 And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee
up, eat and drink; for there is "a sound
42 of abundance of rain. So Ahab went
up to eat and to drink. And Elijah
went up to the top of 'Carmel; and he
''cast himself down upon the earth, and
43 put his face betvifeen his knees, and
said to his servant. Go up now, look
toward the sea. And he went up, and
looked, and said. There is nothing.
And he said. Go again seven times.
44 And it came to pass at the seventh
time, that he said. Behold, there ariseth
'a little cloud out of the sea, like a
man's hand. And he said. Go up, say
unto Ahab, 'Prepare ^thy chariot, and
get thee down, that the rain stop thee
45 not. And it came to pass in the mean
while, that the heaven was black 7vith
clouds and wind, and there was a great
rain. And Ahab rode, and went to
46"Jezreel. And °the hand of the Lord
was on Elijah; and he Pgirded up his
loins, and ran before Ahab 'to the en-
trance of "Jezreel.
And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah
had done, and withal how he had •''slain
2 all the prophets with the sword. Then
Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah,
saying, ''So let the gods do to mc, and
more also, if I make not thy life as
the life of one of them by to mon-ow
3 about this time. And when he saw
///(//, he arose, and went for his life,
and came to <^Beer-sheba, which Mong-
eth to Judah, and left his servant there.
4 But he himself went a day's journey
into the wilderness, and came and sat
down under a juniper tree: and he ''re-
quested 'for himself that he might die;
and said, // is enough; now, O Lord,
take away my life; for I am not better
5 than my fathers. And as he lay and
slept under a juniper tree, behold then,

an angel touched him, and said unto
him, Arise and eat. And he looked, 6
and behold, there was a cake baken
on the coals, and a cruse of water at
his 'head. And he did eat and drink,
and laid him down again. And the 7
angel of the Lord came again the
second time, and touched him, and
said, Arise and eat; because the jour-
ney is too great for thee. And he 8
arose, and did eat and drink, and went
in the strength of that meat = forty days
and forty nights unto fHoreb the mount
of God.
And he came thither unto a cave, 9
and lodged there; and behold, the word
of the Lord came to him, and he said
unto him. What doest thou here, Elijah?
And he said, I have been very ^jealous 10
for the Lord God of hosts: for the
children of Israel have forsaken thy
covenant, "^thrown down thine al-
tars, and 'slain thy prophets with
the .sword; and -"I, even I only, am
left; and they seek my life, to take
it away. And he said. Go forth, and u
stand ''upon the mount before the Lord.
And behold, the Lord passed by, and
' a great and strong wind rent the moun-
tains, and brake in pieces the rocks
before the Lord; but the Lord was
not in the wind : and after the wind an
earthquake; but the Lord ^uas not in
the earthquake : and after the earth- 12
quake a fire; but the Lord 7aas not in
the fire : and after the fire a ""still small
voice. And it was so., when Elijah 13
heard /'/, that "he wrapped his face in
his mantle, and went out, and stood in
the entering in of the cave. ' °And be-
hold, t/iere came a voice unto him, and
said, What doest thou here, Elijah?
PAnd he said, I have been very jealous 14
for the Lord God of hosts: because the
children of Israel have forsaken thy
covenant, thrown down thine altars,
and slain thy prophets with the
sword; and I, even I only, am left;
and they -seek my life, to take it
away. And the Lord said unto him, 15
Go, return on thy way to the wilder-
ness of 1 Damascus : and when thou
comest, ■'anoint Hazael to be king over
Syria: and *Jehu the son of Nimshiie
shalt thou anoint to be king over Is-
rael: and '"'Elisha the son of Shaphat
of 'Abel-meholah shalt thou anoint to
be prophet in thy room. And it shall 17
come to pass, that him that escapeth
the sword of "Hazael shall ''Jehu slay: " Y?.''- 's-
and him that escapeth from the sword 12. & 9. 14',
18 of Jehu y shall Elisha slay. Yet ^"If;%^'^-3'

bowed unto Baal, and ''every mouth ,^3 ^- s-
which hath not kissed him. Rom. n. 4.
19 So he departed thence, and found ^°^.;J'"''"
Elisha the son of Shaphat, who 7i'as » See Gen.
plowing 7cnth twelve yoke of oxen before '*'' ■'° '"'"^^'
him, and he with the twelfth : and Elijah
passed by him, and cast ''his mantle ^= i^'"- 2- 5>
20 upon him. And he left the oxen, and
ran after Elijah, and .said, "^Let me, I "Matt. s.

ther, and then I will follow thee. And ^-■
he said unto him, 'Go back again: for 'Heb.

returned back from him, and took a

ed their flesh ''with the instruments of ^ " Sam. 24.

and they did eat. Then he arose, and ^ 2 Kin. 2. i.

And ^Ben-hadad the king of Syria XX.

Israel answered and said. My lord, O

messengers came again, and said. Thus
speaketh Ben-hadad, saying. Although I
have sent unto thee, saying. Thou shalt

Wherefore he said unto the messengers 9
of Ben-hadad, Tell my lord the king,
All that thou didst send for to thy
servant at the first I will do: but this
thing I may not do. And the mes-
sengers departed, and brought him word
again. And Ben-hadad sent unto him, 10
and said. The gods ^do so unto me,
and more also, if the dust of Samaria
shall suffice for handfuls for all the peo-
ple that 'follow me. And "^the king ofn
Israel answered and said, Tell /lim, Let
not him that girdeth on /lis ^harness
boast himself as he that putteth // off.
And it came to pass, when Ben-kaiiati 12
heard this 'message, as he 7vas s drink-
ing, he and the kings in the "pavilions,
that he said unto his servants, " Set
yourselves in army. And they set them-
selves ill array against the city.
And behold, there 'came a prophet 13
unto Ahab king of Israel, saying. Thus
saith the Lord, Hast thou seen all this
great multitude? behold, "^I will deliver
it into thine hand this day; and 'thou
shalt know that I am the Lord. And 14
Ahab said. By whom? And he said.
Thus saith the Lord, Even by the
"young men of the princes of the pro-
vinces. Then he said. Who shall 'order
the battle? And he answered. Thou.
Then he numbered the young men of 15
the princes of the provinces, and they
were two hundred and thirty two: and
after them he numbered all the people,
even all the children of Israel, being
seven thousand. And they went out at 16
noon. But Ben-hadad 7t'as ''drinking
himself drunk in the pavilions, he and
the kings, the thirty and two kings
that helped him. And the young men 17
of the princes of the provinces went out
first; and Ben-hadad sent out, and they
told him, saying, There are men come
out of Samaria. And he said, Whether is
they be come out for peace, take them
alive; or whether they be come out for
war, take them alive. So these young 19
men of the princes of the provinces
came out of the city, and the army
which followed them. And they slew 20
every one his man: and the Syrians
fled ; and Israel pursued them : and
Ben-hadad the king of Syria escaped on
a horse with the horsemen. And "^thesi
king of Israel went out, and smote the
horses and chariots, and sJew the Syrians
with a great slaughter.
And 'the prophet came to "^the king 22
of Israel, and said unto him. Go,
strengthen thyself, and mark, and see
what thou doest: for at ™the return of
the year the king of Syria will come up
23 against thee. And the servants of the
king of Syria said unto him. Their gods
are gods of the hills ; therefore they
were stronger than we; but let us fight
against them in "the plain, and surely
24 we shall be stronger than they. And
do this thing. Take the kings away,
every man out of his place, and put
25 captains in their rooms : and number
thee an army, like the army 'that thou
hast lost, horse for horse, and chariot
for chariot: and we will fight against
them in "the plain, and surely we shall
be stronger than they. And he heark-
26 ened unto their voice, and did so. And
it came to pass at the return of the
year, that Ben-hadad numbered the Sy-
rians, and went up to °Aphek, 'to fight
27 against Israel. And the children of Is-
rael were numbered, and 'were all pre-
sent, and went against them: and the
children of Israel pitched before them
like two little flocks of kids; but the
28 Syrians filled the country. And there
came Pa man of God, and spake unto
the king of Israel, and said, Thus saith
the Lord, Because the Syrians have
said, iThe Lord is God of the hills,
but he is not God of the valleys, there-
fore ''will I deliver all this great mul-
titude into thine hand, and ye shall
29 know that I am the Lord. And they
l)itched one over against the other seven
days. And so it was, that in the se-
venth day the battle was joined: and
the children of Israel slew of the Sy-
rians an hundred thousand footmen in
30 one day. But the rest fled to °Aphek,
into the city; and there a wall fell upon
twenty and seven thousand of the men
that were left. And Ben-hadad fled,
and came into the city, 'into an inner
31 chamber. And his servants said unto
him, Behold now, we have heard that
the kings of the house of Israel are
merciful kings: let us, I pray thee, ^put
sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon
our heads, and go out to "^the king of
Israel: peradventure he will save thy
32 life. So they girded sackcloth on their
loins, and//// ropes on their heads, and
came to ''the king of Israel, and said.
Thy servant Ben-hadad saith, I pray
thee, let me live. And he said. Is he
33 yet alive? he is my brother. Now the

men 'did diligently observe whether any
thin;:; would come from him, and did
hastily catch //.• and they said, Thy
brother Ben-hadad. Then he said, Go
ye, bring him. Then Ben-hadad came
forth to him; and he caused him to
come up into the chariot. And Ben- 34
/ladad sa\d unto him, "The cities, which
my father took from thy father, I will
restore; and thou shalt make streets for
thee in "Damascus, as my father made
in Samaria. Then said Ahab, I will
send thee away with t/iis covenant. ^So
he made a covenant with him, and sent
him away.
And a certain man of 3 the sons of 35
the prophets said unto his neighbour
^in the word of the Lord, Smite me,
I pray thee. And the man refused to
smite him. Then said he unto him, 36
Because thou hast not obeyed the voice
of the Lord, behold, as soon as thou
art departed from me, a lion shall slay
thee. And as soon as he was departed
from him, ^a lion found him, and slew
him. Then he found another man, and 37
said. Smite me, I pray thee. And the
man smote him, *so that in smiting he
wounded hhii. So the prophet depart- 33
ed, and waited for the king by the way,
and ''disguised himself with ashes upon
his face. And as the king passed by, 39
he cried unto the king: and he said,
Thy servant went out into the midst
of the battle ; and behold, a man turned
aside, and brought a man unto me, and
said, Keep this man : if by any means
he be missing, then "^ shall thy life be
for his life, or else thou shalt 'pay a
talent of silver. And as thy servant 40
was busy here and there, *he was gone.
And "^the king of Israel said unto him.
So shall thy judgment be; thyself hast
decided it. And he hasted, and took 41
the ashes away from his face; and ""the
king of Israel discerned him that he
7C'<rs of the prophets. And he said unto 42
him. Thus saith the Lord, ^ Because
thou hast let go out of t/ty hand a man
whom I appointed to utter destruction,
therefore thy life shall go for his life,
and thy people for his people. And 43
''the king of Israel went fto his house
heavy and displeased, and came to Sa-
maria.
And it came to pass after these things,
that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vine-
yard, which 7t'as in *Jezreel, hard by
the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
2 And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying,
•^ Give me thy vineyard, that I may
have it for a garden of herbs, because
it is near unto my house: and I will
give thee for it a better vineyard than
it; or, if it 'seem good to thee, I will
give thee the worth of it in money.
3 And Naboth said to Ahab, The Lord
forbid it me, "^that I should give the
inheritance of my fathers unto thee.
4 And Ahab came ''into his house heavy
and displeased because of the word
which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken
to him : for he had said, I will not give
thee the inheritance of my fathers. And
he laid him down upon his bed, and
turned away his face, and would eat no
5 bread. But Jezebel his wife came to
him, and said unto him, AVhy is thy
spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread?
6 And he said unto her. Because I spake
unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said
unto him, Give me thy \'ineyard for
money; or else, if it please thee, I will
give thee another vineyard for it : and
he answered, I will not give thee my
7 vineyard. And Jezebel his wife said
unto him. Dost thou now govern the
kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread,
and let =thine heart be merry: I will
give thee the vineyard of Naboth the
s Jezreelite. So she wrote letters fin Ahab's
name, and sealed them with his seal, and
sent the letters unto sthe elders and to
the nobles that were in his city, dwell-
ging with Naboth. And she wrote in
the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and
set Naboth 'on high among the people:
10 and set two men, •'sons of Belial, before
him, to bear witness against him, say-
ing, 'Thou didst J blaspheme God and
the king. And then carry him out, and
11 stone him, that he may die. And the
men of his city, even the elders and the
nobles who jcere the inhabitants in his
city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them,
and as U was written in the letters
12 which she had sent unto them. ''They
proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on
13 high among the people. And there
came in two men, schildren of Belial,
and sat before him : and the men of Be-
lial witnessed against him, eren against
Naboth, in the presence of the people,
saying, Naboth did J blaspheme Gotl and
the king. Then they carried him forth
out of the city, and stoned him with
14 stones, that he died. Then they sent to
Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and

is dead. And it came to pass, when 15
Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned,
and was dead, that Jezebel said to
Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vine-
yard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he
refused to give thee for money: for Na-
both is not alive, but dead. And it 16
came to pass, when Ahab heard that
Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to
go down to the vineyard of Naboth the
Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
And 'the word of the Lord came to 17
Elijah ™the Tishbite, saying, Arise, go is
down to meet Ahab king of Israel,
which is in "Samaria: behold, he is in
the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is
gone down to possess it. And thou 19
shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith
the Lord, Hast thou killed, and also
taken possession? And thou shalt speak
unto him, saying, Thus saith the Lord,
°In the place where dogs licked the
blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy
blood, even thine. And Ahab said to 20
Elijah, PHast thou found me, O mine
enemy? And he answered, I have found
thee: because thou hast Isold thyself to
work evil in the sight of the Lord,
behold, 'I will bring evil upon thee, 21
and will take away ''thy posterity, and
will cut off from Ahab '///>« that pisseth
against the wall, and "///;« that is shut
up and left in Israel, and will make 22
thine house like '^the house of Jero-
boam the son of Nebat, and like >the
house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for
the provocation wherewith thou hast
provoked me to anger, and ^made Israel
to sin. And of Jezebel also spake the 23
Lord, saying, ^The dogs shall eat Jeze-
bel by the "wall of Jezreel. ''Him that 24
dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall
eat ; and him that dieth in the field
shall the fowls of the air eat. (But 25
*= there w-as none like unto Ahab, which
did ''sell himself to work wickedness in
the sight of the Lord, whom Jezebel
his wife "stirred up. And he did very 26
abominably in following "-'idols, accord-
ing to all tliini:;s fas did the Amorites,
whom the Lord cast out before the
children of Israel). And it came to 27
pass, when Ahab heard those words,
that 8 he rent his clothes, and •> put
sackcloth upon his flesh, and 'fasted,
and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.
And the word of the Lord came to 28
Elijah the Tishbite, saying, Seest thou 29
how Ahab humbleth himself before me?
because he humbleth himself before me,
I will not bring the evil in his days : but
''in his son's days will I bring the evil
upon his house.
And they continued three years with-
2 out war between Syria and Israel. ^ And
it came to pass on the third year, that
''Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came
3 down to "^the king of Israel. And the
king of Israel said unto his servants,
Know ye that ''Ranioth in Gilead is
our.s, and we be 'still, and take it not
out of the hand of the king of Syria?
4 And he said unto Jehoshaphat, Wilt
thou go with me to battle to Ramoth-
gilead? And Jehoshaphat said to the
king of Israel, "=I am as thou art., my
people as thy people, my horses as thy
5 horses. And Jehoshaphat said unto the
king of Israel, Inquire, I pray thee, at
6 the word of the Lord to day. Then
the king of Israel ^gathered the pro-
phets together, about four hundred men,
and saiti unto them, Shall I go against
Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I for-
bear? And they said. Go up; for the
Lord shall deliver it into the hand of
7 the king. And sjehoshaphat said. Is
there not here a prophet of the Lord
besides, that we might inquire of him?
8 And the king of Israel said unto Je-
hoshaphat, There is yet one man, Mi-
caiah the son of Imlah, by whom we
may inquire of the Lord : but I hate
him; for he doth not prophesy good
concerning me, but evil. And Jehosha-
9 phat said, Let not the king say so. Then
the king of Israel called an "officer, and
said, Hasten hither Micaiah the son of
10 Imlah. And the king of Israel and
Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat each
on his throne, having put on //;«> robes,
in a 'void place in the entrance of the
gate of ''Samaria; and all the prophets
11 prophesied before them. And Zede-
kiah the son of Chenaanah made him
'horns of iron: and he said. Thus saith
the Lord, With these ''shalt thou push
the Syrians, until thou have consumed
12 them. And all the prophets prophesied
so, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and
prosper: for the Lord shall deliver //
into the king's hand.
13 And the messenger that was gone to
call Micaiah spake unto him, saying.
Behold now, the words of the prophets
declare good unto the king icith one
mouth: let thy word, I pray thee, be
like the word of one of them, and speak

that which is good. And Micaiah said, 14
'^j- the Lord liveth, ""what the Lord
saith unto me, that will I speak. So he is
came to the king. And the king said
unto him, Micaiah, shall we go against
Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall we
forbear? And he answered him. Go,
and prosper: for the Lord shall deliver
// into the hand of the king. And the 16
king said unto him. How many times
shall I adjure thee that thou tell me
nothing but that which is true in the
name of the Lord? And he said, I saw 17
all Israel scattered upon the hills, "as
sheep that have not a shepherd : and
the Lord said, These have no master:
let them return every man to his house
in peace. And the king of Israel said 18
unto Jehoshaphat, °Did I not tell thee
that he would prophesy no good con-
cerning me, but evil? And he said, 19
Hear thou therefore the word of the
Lord: pI saw the Lord sitting on his
throne, and '! all the host of heaven
standing by him on his right hand and
on his left. And the Lord said, Who 20
shall 'persuade Ahab, that he may go
up and fall at Ramoth-gilead? And one
said on this manner, and another said
on that manner. And there came forth 21
a spirit, and stood before the Lord,
and said, I will persuade him. And the 22
Lord said unto him. Wherewith ? And
he said, I will go forth, and I will be 'a
lying spirit in the mouth of all his pro-
phets. And he said. Thou shalt per-
suade him, and prevail also: go forth,
and do so. Now therefore behold, the 23
Lord hath put a lying spirit in the
mouth of all these thy prophets, and
the Lord hath spoken evil concerning
thee. But Zedekiah the son of Che- 24
naanah went near, and ''smote Micaiah
on the cheek, and said. Which way
went the .spirit of the Lord from me
to speak unto thee? And Micaiah said, 25
Behold, thou shalt see in that day,
when thou shalt go "into an inner
chamber to hide thyself. And the king 26
of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and carry
him back unto Anion the governor of the
city, and to Joash the king's son; and say, 27
Thus saith the king, 'Put this /c//()?t'' in
the prison, and feed him with bread of
affliction and with water of affliction, un-
til "I come in peace. And Micaiah said, 23
If thou return at all in peace, "the Lord
hath not spoken by me. And he said,
Hearken, O people, every one of you.
29 So the king of Israel and Jehosha-
phat the king of Judah went up to
30 Ramoth-gilead. And the king of Is-
rael said unto Jehoshaphat, 'I will ^dis-
guise myself, and enter into the battle;
but put thou on thy robe.s. And the
king of Israel '■disguised himself, and
31 went into the battle. But the king of
Syria commanded his y thirty and two
captains that had rule over his chariots,
saying, ^ Fight neither with small nor
great, save only with the king of Israel.
32 And it came to pass, -when the captains
of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that
they said. Surely it is the king of Israel.
And they ^turned aside to fight against
33 him: and Jehoshaphat ^cried out. And
it came to pass, when the captains of
the chariots perceived that it was not
the king of Israel, that they turned back
34 from pursuing him. And a certain man
drew a bow 'at a venture, and smote
the king of Israel betvveen the 'joints
of the harness: wherefore he said unto
the driver of his chariot. Turn thine
hand, and carry me out of the host; for
35 1 am 'wounded. And the battle 'in-
creased that day : and the king was
stayed up in his chariot against the
Syrians, and died at even : and the
blood ran out of the wound into the
36 'midst of the chariot. And there went
a proclamation throughout the host a-
bout the going down of the sun, saying,
Every man to his city, and every man
37 to his own country. So the king died,
and 'was brought to Samaria; and they
38 buried the king in Samaria. And one
washed the chariot in the pool of Sa-
maria ; and the dogs licked up his
blood; and they washed his armour;
''according unto the word of the Lord
39 which he spake. Now the rest of the
acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and
"^the ivor}' house which he made, and
all the cities that he built, are they not
written in the book of the chronicles of
40 the kings of Israel? So Ahab slept with
his fathers ; and Ahaziah his son reigned
in his stead.
41 And Jehoshaphat the son of Asa be-
gan to reign over Judah in the fourth
42 year of Ahab king of Israel. ''Jehosha-
phat was thirty and five years old when
he began to reign ; and he reigned twenty
and five years in Jerusalem. And his

right in the eyes of the Lord : never-

syehoshaphat made peace with the king
of Israel. Now the rest of the acts of 45
Jehoshaphat, and his might that he
shewed, and how he warred, arc they
not WTitten ''in the book of the chroni-
cles of the kings of Judah? And the 46
remnant of 'the sodomites, which re-

he took out of tlie land. '' There jms 47
then no king in Edom: a 'deputy mas

they went not ; for the ships were broken
at PEzion-geber. Then said Ahaziah 49
the son of Ahab unto Jehoshaphat, Let

THEN Moab =»rebelled against Israel
•"after the death of Ahab. And Aha- 2
ziah fell down through a lattice in his
"^ upper chamber that was in Samaria,
and was sick: and he sent messengers,
and said unto them, Go, inquire of ''Baal-
zebub the god of "^Ekron whether 'I shall
recover of this disease. But the angel 3
of the Lord said to Elijah sthe Tishbite,
Arise, go up to meet the messengers of
the king of Samaria, and say unto them,
Is it not because there is not a God in
Israel, that ye go to inquire of ''Baal-
zebub the god of <^Ekron? Now there- 4
fore thus saith the Lord, 'Thou shalt
not come down from that bed on which
thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.
And Elijah departed. And when the s
messengers turned back unto him, he
said unto them, Why are ye now turned
back? And they said unto him. There 6
came a man up to meet us, and said
unto us. Go, turn again unto the king
that sent you, and say unto him, Thus
saith the Lord, Is it not because there is
not a God in Israel, that thou sendest to
inquire of <* Baal-zebub the god of = Ek-
ron? therefore thou shalt not come down
from that bed on which thou art gone
up, but shalt surely die. And he said ^
unto them, 'What manner of man fi'tfj/zt'
which came up to meet you, and told
you these words? And they answered s
him, He was •'a hairy man, and girt
with a girdle of leather about his loins.
And he said. It is Elijah sthe Tishbite.
Then the king sent unto him a captain 9
of fifty with his fifty. And he went up
to him : and behold, he sat on the top of
a hill. And he spake unto him, Thou
'man of God, the king hath said, Come
down. And Elijah answered and said 10
to the captain of fifty. If I be a man of
God, then ' let fire come down from
heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty.
And there came down fire from heaven,
1 and consumed him and his fifty. Again
also he sent unto him another captain of
fifty with his fifty. And he answered and
said unto him, O man of God, thus hath
2 the king said, Come down quickly. And
Elijah answered and said unto them, If I
be a man of God, let fire come down
from heaven, and consume thee and thy
fifty. And "^the fire of God came down
from heaven, and consumed liim and his
3 fifty. And he sent again a captain of
the third fifty with his fifty. And the
third captain of fifty went up, and came
and 'fell on his knees before Elijah, and
besought him, and said unto him, O man
of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the
life of these fifty thy servants, 'be pre-
4 cious in thy sight. Behold, there came
fire down from heaven, and burnt up the
two captains of the former fifties with
their fifties : therefore let my life now be
5 precious in thy sight. And the angel of
the Lord said unto Elijah, Go down
with him : be not afraid of him. And
he arose, and went down with him unto
5 the king. And he said unto him, Thus
saith the Lord, Forasmuch as thou hast
sent messengers to inquire of '' Baal-zebub
the god of ■= Ekron, is it not because there
is no God in Israel to inquire of his
word? therefore thou shalt not come
down off that bed on which thou art gone
1 up, but shalt surely die. So he died
according to the word of the Lord which
Elijah had spoken. And "Jehoram reign-
ed in his stead in the second year of
Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of
sjudah; because he had no son. Now

did, are they not written in the book

of the chronicles of the kings of

And it came to pass, when the Lord
would ^take up Elijah inlo heaven by a
whirlwind, that Elijah went with ''Elisha
from <=Gilgal. And Elijah said unto =
Elisha, ''Tarry here, I pray thee; for the
Lord hath sent me to = Beth-el. And
Elisha said unto him, ^ As the Lord
liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not
leave thee. So tliey went down to Beth-
el. And sthe sons of the prophets that 3
were at Beth-el came forth to Elisha, and
said unto him, Knowest thou that the
Lord will take away thy master ''from
thy head to day? And he said. Yea, I
know //; hold you your peace. And Eli- 4
jah said unto him, Elisha, tarry here, I
pray thee; for the Lord hath sent me to
'Jericho. And he said, ^ As the Lord
liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not
leave thee. So they came to Jericho.
And the sons of the prophets that 7i'ere 5
at Jericho came to Elisha, and said unto
him, Knowest thou that the Lord will
take away thy master ''from thy head to
day? And he answered, Yea, I know it:
hold you your peace. And Elijah said 6
unto him. Tarry, I pray thee, here; for
the Lord hath sent me to Jordan. And
he said, ^As the Lord liveth, and as thy
soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And
they two went on. And fifty men of ^
the sons of the prophets went, and stood
'to view afar off : and they two stood by
Jordan. And Elijah took ''his mantle, s
and wrapt it together, and smote the
waters, and '"they were divided hither
and thither, so that they two went over
on dry ground. And it came to pass, 9
when they were gone over, that Elijah
said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for
thee, before I be taken away from thee.
And Elisha said, I pray thee, let "a
double portion of thy .spirit be upon me.
And he said, 'Thou hast asked a hard 10
thing: nevertheless, if thou see me K'//t'«
I am taken from thee, it shall be so un-
to thee; but if not, it shall not be so.
And it came to pass, as they still went n
on, and talked, that behold, there ap-
peared °a chariot of fire, and horses of
fire, and parted them both asunder; and
p Elijah went up by a whirlwind into hea-
ven. And Elisha saw it, and he cried, 12
iMy father, my father, the chariot of
Israel, and the horsemen thereof And
he saw him no more : and he took hold
of his own clothes, and ''rent them in
13 two iiieces. He took up also the mantle
of Elijah that fell from him, and went
back, and stood by the 'bank of Jordan;
14 antl he took the mantle of Elijah that
fell from him, and smote the waters, and
said. Where is the Lord God of Elijah?
and when he also had smitten the
waters, ^they parted hither and thither:
15 and Elisha went over. And when the
sons of the prophets which were 'to view
at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit
of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they
came to meet him, and bowed them-
16 selves to the ground before him. And
they said unto him, Behold now, there
be with thy servants fifty 'strong men;
let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy
master: lest peradventure "the spirit of
the Lord hath taken him up, and cast
him upon 'some mountain, or into some
valley. And he said, Ye shall not send.
17 And when they urged him -''till he was
ashamed, he said. Send. They sent
therefore fifty men; and they sought
is three days, but found him not. And
when they came again to him, (for he
tarried at Jericho,) he said unto them,
Did I not say unto you, Go not?
19 And the men of the city said unto
Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation
of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth :
but the water is naught, and the ground
20 'barren. And he said. Bring me a new
cruse, and put salt therein. And they
21 brought // to him. And he went forth
unto the spring of the waters, and vcast
the salt in there, and said. Thus saith
the Lord, I have healed these M-aters;
there shall not be from thence any more
22 death or barren ^land. So the waters
were healed unto this day, according to
the saying of Elisha which he spake.
23 And he went up from thence unto
Beth-el : and as he was going up by the
way, there came forth "little ''children
out of the city, and mocked him, and
said unto him. Go up, thou bald head ;
2) go up, thou bald head. And he turned
back, and looked on them, and "= cursed
them in the name of the Lord. And
there came forth two she bears out of
the wood, and tare forty and two ''chil-
25 dren of them. And he went from thence
to mount "^Carmel, and from thence he
returned to f Samaria.

he >\TOught evil in the sight of the Lord;
but not like his father, and like his
mother: for he put away the 'image of
Baal '■that his father had made. Never- 3
theless he cleaved unto <^the sins of Jero-
boam the son of Nebat, ''which made
Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom.
And Mesha king of Moab was a = sheep- 4
master, and rendered unto the king of
Israel an hundred thousand f lambs, and
an hundred thousand rams, witli the
wool. But it came to pass, when sAhab 5
was dead, that the king of Moab rebel-
led against the king of Israel. And king 6
Jehoram went out of Samaria the same
time, and numbered all Israel. And he 7
went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king
of Judah, saying, The king of Moab
hath rebelled against me: wilt thou go
with me against Moab to battle? And
he said, I will go up: 'I am as thou art,
my people as thy people, and my horses
as thy horses. And he said, ^\'hich way e
shall we go up? And he answered. The
way through the wilderness of Edom.
So the king of Israel went, and the king 9
of Judah, and ''the king of Edom: and
they fetcht a compass of seven days'
journey: and there was no water for the
host, and for the cattle that 'followed
them. And the king of Israel said, 10
'Alas, that the Lord hath called these
three kings together, to deliver them
into the hand of Moab. But "Jehosha-ti
phat said, Is there not here a prophet of
the Lord, that we may inquire of the
Lord by him? And "one of the king of
Israel's servants answered and said. Here
is Elisha the son of Shaphat, "which
poured water on the hands of Elijah.
And Jehoshaphat said, The word of the 12
Lord is with him. So the king of Is-
rael and Jehoshaphat and the king of
Edom went down to him. And Elisha 13
said unto the king of Israel, PWhat have
I to do with thee? iget thee to the pro-
phets of thy father, and to ■'the prophets
of thy mother. And the king of Israel
said unto him, Nay: for the Lord hath
called these three kings together, to deli-
ver them into the hand of Moab. And 14
Elisha said, ^As the Lord of hosts liv-
eth, before whom I stand, surely, were
it not that I 'regard the presence of Je-
hoshaphat the king of Judah, I would
not look toward thee, nor see thee. But 15
now bring me "a minstrel. And it
came to pass, when the minstrel played,
that ""the hand of* the Lord came upon
16 him. And he said. Thus saith the Lord,
17 Make this valley full of ''ditches. For
thus saith the Lord, Ye shall not see
wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that
valley shall be filled with water, that ye
may drink, both ye, and your cattle, and
18 your beasts. And this is but va light
thing in the sight of the Lord : he will
deliver the Moabites also into your hand.
19 And ye shall smite every fenced city, and
every choice city, and shall fell every
good tree, and stop all \vells of water,
and 'mar every good piece of land with
20 stones. And it came to pass in the morn-
ing, when ^ the meat offering was offer-
ed, that behold, there came water by the
way of Edom, and the country was filled
with water.
21 And when all the Moabites heard that
the kings w-ere come up to fight against
them, they 'gathered all that were able to
'put on armour, and upward, and stood
22 in the border. And they rose up early
in the morning, and the sun shone upon
the water, and the Moabites saw the
■water on the other side as red as blood:
23 and they said, This is blood : the kings
are surely 'slain, and they have smitten
one another: now therefore, Moab, to
24 the spoil. And when they came to the
camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and
smote the Moabites, so that they fled
before them: but 'they went forward
smiting the Moabites, even in their
25 country. And they beat down the cities,
and ^on every good piece of land cast
everj' man his stone, and filled it; and
they stopped all the wells of water, and
felled all the good trees: 'only in ''Kir-
haraseth left they the stones thereof; how-
beit the slingers went about it, and smote
26 it. And when the king of Moab saw that
the battle was too sore for him, he took
with him seven hundred men "^that drew
swords, to break through am unto the
king of Edom: but they could not.
27 Then ''he took his eldest son that should
have reigned in his stead, and offered
him for a burnt ofi'ering upon the wall.
And there was great indignation against
Israel : and they departed from him,
and •= returned to their oicn land.
Now there cried a certain woman of
the wives of *the sons of the prophets
unto Elisha, saying. Thy servant my hus-
band is dead; and thou knowest that
thy servant did fear the Lord: and ''the
creditor is come to take unto him my
2 two sons to be bondmen. And Elisha

tell me, what hast thou in the house?
And she said. Thine handmaid hath not
any thing in the house, save a pot of oil.
Then he said, (50, '^borrow thee vessels
abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty
vessels; ''borrow not a icw. And when
thou art come in, thou shalt shut the
door upon thee and upon thy sons, and
shalt pour out into all those vessels, and
thou shalt set aside that which is full.
So she went from him, and shut the door
upon her and ujjon her sons, who brought
the vessels to her; and she poured out.
And it came to pass, when the vessels
were full, that she said unto her son.
Bring me yet a vessel. And he said
unto her. There is not a vessel more.
And the oil stayed. Then she came and ^
told ""the man of God. And he said,
Go, sell the oil, and pay thy 'debt,
and live thou and thy children of the

And 'it fell on a day, that Elisha pass- B
ed to "^Shunem, where 7i.'as 'a great
woman; and she 'constrained him to eat

passed by, he turned in thither to eat
bread. And she .said unto her husband, 9
Behold now, I perceive that this is a holy
''man of God, which passeth by us con-
tinually. Let us make a little ?cham-io
ber, I pray thee, on the wall ; and let us
set for him there a bed, and a table, and
a stool, and a candlestick : and it shall
be, when he cometh to us, that he shall
turn in thither. And it fell on a day, n
that he came thither, and he turned into
the ^chamber, and lay there. And he 12
said to ''Gehazi his servant, Call this
'Shunammite. And when he had called
her, she stood before him. And he said 13
unto him, Say now unto her. Behold,
thou hast been 'careful for us with all
this care; what is to be done for thee?
wouldest thou be spoken for to the king,
or to ''■the captain of the host? And
she answered, I dwell among mine own
people. And he said, What then is to 14
be done for her? And Gehazi answered,
Verily she hath no child, and her hus-
band is old. And he said, Call her. 15
.\nd when he had called her, she stood
in the door. And he said, 'About this 16
'season, according to the time of life,
thou shalt "embrace a son. And she
said, Nay, my lord, ''thou man of God,

18 And when the child was grown, it
fell on a day, that he went out to his

unto his father, °My head, my head.
And he said to a lad, Carry him to his

And Eli.sha came again to 'Gilgal:38
and there 7vas a ''dearth in the land; and
'the sons of the prophets were '"sitting

vant, "Set on the great pot, and seethe

And one went out into the field to 39

could not eat t/icnvf. But he said, 41
Then bring meal. And "he cast // into

was no 'harm in the pot.
And there came a man from Baal- 42

thee, Wash, and be clean? Then went 14
he down, and dipped himself seven times
in Jordan, according to the saying of
the man of God: and ""his flesh came
again hke unto the flesh of a httle child,
and "he was clean.
And he returned to the man of God, 15
he and all his company, and came, and
stood before him: and he said, Behold,
now I know that there is "no God in
all the earth, but in Israel: now there-
fore, I pray thee, take Pa blessing of
thy servant. But he said, '^As the Lord 16
liveth, before whom I stand, ■'I will
receive none. And he urged him to
take //; but he refused. And Naaman 17
said. Shall there not then, I pray thee,
be given to thy servant two mules'
burden of earth? for thy servant will
henceforth ofter neither burnt offering
nor sacrifice unto other gods, but unto
the Lord. In this thing the Lord iS
pardon thy servant, that when my mas-
ter goeth into the house of ''Rimmon to
worship there, and 'he leaneth on my
hand, and I bow myself in the house
of Rimmon : when I bow down myself
in the house of Rimmon, the Lord par-
don thy servant in this thing. And he 19
said unto him, "Go in peace. So he
departed from him *a little way.
But "Gehazi, the servant of Elishaso
the man of God, said, Behold, my mas-
ter hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in
not receiving at his hands that which
he brought: but, yas the Lord liveth, I
will run after him, and take somewhat
of him. So Gehazi followed after Naa- 21
man. And when Naaman saw him run-
ning after him, he ^lighted down from
the chariot to meet him, and said, */r
all well? And he said. All is well. My 22
master hath sent me, saying. Behold,
even now there be come to me from
^mount Ephraim two young men of ''the
sons of the prophets : give them, I pray
thee, a talent of silver, and two changes
of garments. And Naaman said, '^Be23
content, take two talents. And he
urged him, and ''bound two talents of
silver in two '^bags, with two changes
of gannents, and laid them upon two of
his servants; and they bare them before
him. And when he came to the " tower, 24
he took them from their hand, and
bestowed them in the house: and he let
the men go, and they departed. But 25
he went in, and stood before his master.
And Elisha said unto him, Whence
eomest thou, Gehazi? And he said, Thy
26 servant went 'no whither. And he said
unto him. Went not mine heart with
thee, when the man turned again from
his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time
to receive money, and to receive gar-
ments, and oliveyards, and vineyards,
and sheep, and oxen, and menservants,
27 and maidservants? The leprosy there-
fore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee,
and unto thy seed for ever. And he
went out from his presence fa leper as
white as snow.
And ='the sons of the projAets said
unto Elisha, Behold now, the place
where we dwell with thee is too strait
2 for us. Let us go, we pray thee, unto
Jordan, and take thence every man a
beam, and let us make us a place there,
where we may dwell. And he answer-
3 ed. Go ye. And one said, Be content,
I i^ray thee, and go with thy servants.
4 And he answered, I will go. So he
went with them. And when they came
5 to Jordan, they cut down wood. But
as one was felling a beam, the *axe
head fell into the water: and he cried,
and .said, Alas, master, for it was ""bor-
6 rowed. And the man of God said,
^Vhere fell it? And he shewed him the
place. And "^he cut down a stick, and
cast // in thither ; and the iron did
7 swim. Therefore said he. Take it up
to thee. And he put out his hand, and
took it.
8 Then the king of Syria warred against
Israel, and took counsel with his ser-
vants, saying. In such and such a place
<j shall be my "camp. And the man of
God sent unto ''the king of Israel, say-
ing. Beware that thou pass not such a
place; for thither the Syrians are come
10 down. And the king of Israel sent to
the place which the man of God told
him and '^warned him of, and saved
himself there, not once nor twice.
J I Therefore the heart of the king of Syria
was sore troubled for this thing; and
he called his servants, and said unto
them. Will ye not shew me which of
12 us is for the king of Israel? And one
of his sen'ants said, 'None, my lord,
O king: but Elisha, the prophet that
is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel
the words that thou speakest in thy
13 bedchamber. And he said, Go and spy
where he is, that I may send and
fetch him. And it was told him, say-

fore sent he thither horses, and chariots,
and a 'great host: and they came by
night, and compassed the city about.
And when the "servant of the man of 15
God was risen early, and gone forth,
behold, a host compassed the city both
with horses and chariots. And his ser-
vant said unto him, Alas, my master,
how shall we do? And he answered, 16
Fear not: for ^they that be with us are
moe than they that be with them. And ^^
Elisha prayed, and said. Lord, I pray
thee, open his eyes, that he may see.
And the Lord opened the eyes of the
young man; and he saw: and behold,
the mountain was full of ''horses and
chariots of fire round about Elisha.
And when they came down to him, is
Elisha prayed unto the Lord, and said.
Smite this people, I pray thee, with
'blindness. And he smote them with
blindness according to the word of Eli-
sha. And Elisha said unto them, This 19
is not the way, neither is this the city:
'follow me, and I will bring you to the
man whom ye seek. But he led them
to Samaria. And it came to pass, when 20
they were come into Samaria, that Eli-
sha said, J Lord, open the eyes of these
mat, that they may see. And the Lord
opened their eyes, and they saw; and
behold, they were in the midst of Sa-
maria. And the king of Israel said 21
unto Elisha, when he saw them, •'My
father, shall I smite thc?n ? shall I smite
them? And he answered. Thou shaltaa
not smite them : wouldest thou smite
those whom thou hast taken captive
'with thy sword and with thy bow? "'set
bread and water before them, that they
may eat and drink, and go to their
master. And he prepared great provi-33
sion for them : and when they had eaten
and drunk, lie sent them away, and
they went to their master. So " the
bands of Syria came no more into the
land of Israel.
And it came to pass after this, that 24
°Ben-hadad king of Syria gathered all
his host, and went up, and besieged
Samaria. And there was a great fa-cs
mine in Samaria: and behold, they be-
sieged it, until an ass's head was sold
for fourscore pieces of silver, and the
fourth part of a kab of dove's dung for
five /lieccs of silver. And as the king 26
of Israel was passing by upon the wall,
there cried a woman unto him, saying.
Help, my lord, O king. And he said, 27
".//" the Lord do not help thee, whence
shall I help thee? out of the Pbarn-
r,s floor, or out of the winepress? And
the king said unto her. What aileth
thee? And she answered, This woman
said unto me, Give thy son, that we
may eat him to day, and we will eat
29 my son to morrow. So "iwe boiled my
son, and did eat him: and I said unto
her on the 'ne.xt day, Give thy son,
that we may eat him : and she hath
30 hid her son. And it came to pass,
when the king heard the words of the
woman, that he ''rent his clothes; and
he passed by upon the wall, and the
people looked, and behold, he had ■'sack-
31 cloth within upon his flesh. Then he
said, ^God do so and more also to me,
if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat
shall stand on him this day.
32 But Elisha sat in his house, and 'the
elders sat with him ; and the king sent a
man from before him : but ere the mes-
senger came to him, he said to the el-
ders. See ye how this son of "a murderer
hath sent to take away mine head? look,
when the messenger cometh, shut the
door, and hold him fast at the door: ^w
not the sound of his master's feet behind
33 him? And while he yet talked with
them, behold, the messenger came down
unto him : and he said, Behold, this evil
is of the Lord; vwhat should I wait for
the Lord any longer? Then Elisha said,
Hear ye the word of the Lord; Thus
saith the Lord, ^To morrow about this
time shall a measure of fine flour l)e sold
for a shekel, and two measures of barley
for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.
2 Then '''a lord on whose hand the king
leaned answered the man of God, and
said, Behold, "^//the Lord would make
windows in heaven, might this thing be?
And he said. Behold, thou shalt see //
with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof
3 And there were four leprous men ^at
the entering in of the gate: and they
said one to another. Why sit we here
4 until we die? If we say. We will enter
into the city, then the famine is in the
city, and we shall die there : and if we
sit still here, we die also. Now there-
fore come, and let us fall unto the host
of the Syrians: if they .save us alive, we
shall live; and if they kill us, we shall
shut die. And they rose up in "=the twi-
light, to go unto the camp of the Syrians:
and when they were come to the utter-
most part of the camp of Syria, behold,
I Or, Let not
the Lord
save thee.

there was no man there. For the Lord
had made the host of the Syrians fto
hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of
horses, even the noise of a great host:
and they said one to another, Lo, the
king of Israel hath hired against us sthe
kings of the Hittites, and the kings of
the ?]gyptians, to come upon us. •■ Where-
fore they arose and fled in =the twilight,
and left their tents, and their horses,
and their asses, even the camp 'as it
7i'as, and fled for their life. And when
these lepers came to the uttermost part
of the camp, they went into one tent,
and did eat and drink, and carried thence
silver, and gold, and raiment, and went
and hid //,■ and came again, and entered
into another tent, and carried thence
also, and went and hid //. Then they
said one to another, We do not well:
this day is a day of good tidings, and
we hold our peace: if we tarry till the
morning light, ''some mischief will come
upon us: now therefore come, that we
may go and tell the king's household.
So they came and called unto the por- 1
ter of the city: and they told them, say-
ing, We came to the camp of the Syri-
ans, and behold, there was no man
there, neither voice of man, but horses
tied, and asses tied, and the tents 'as
they rrvn'. And he called the porters ;i
and they told it to the king's house
within.
And the king arose in the night, and i
said unto his servants, I will now shew
you what the Syrians have done to us.
They know that we be hungry ; therefore
are they gone out of the camp to hide
themselves in the field, saying, W'hen
they come out of the city, we shall catch
them alive, and get into the city. And ■
one of his servants answered and said,
Let some take, I pray thee, ''five of the
horses that remain, which are left 'in
the city, (behold, they are as all the
multitude of Israel that are left in it:
behold, / say, they arc a'en as all the
multitude of the Israelites that are con-
sumed :) and let us send and see. They t
took therefore two chariot horses; and
the king sent after the host of the Sy-
rians, saying. Go and see. And they .
\vent after them unto Jordan: and lo,
all the way icas full of garments and
vessels, which the Syrians had cast away
in their haste. And the messengers re-
turned, and told the king. And the i
people went out, and spoiled the tents
of the Syrians. So a measure of fine
flour was sold for a shekel, and two mea-
sures of barley for a shekel, 'according
to the word of the Lord.
17 And the king appointed ""the lord on
whose hand he leaned to have the charge
of the gate : and the people trode upon
him in the gate, and he died, as the
man of Clod had said, who sjjake "when
18 the king came down to him. And it
came to pass as the man of God had
spoken to the king, saying, 'Two mea-
sures of barley for a shekel, and a mea-
sure of fine flour for a shekel, .shall be
to morrow about this time in the gate
igof Samaria: and that ""lord answered
the man of God, and said. Now behold,
if the Lord shoidd make mndows in
heaven, might such a thing be? And
he said. Behold, thou shalt see // with
thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.
20 And so it fell out unto him: for the peo-
ple trode upon him in the gate, and he
died.
Then spake Elisha unto the woman,
"whose son he had restored to life, say-
ing. Arise, and go thou and thine house-
hold, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst
sojourn: for the Lord '>hath called for a
famine; and it shall also come upon the
2 land seven years. And the woman arose,
and did after the saying of the man of
God: and she went with her household,
and sojourned in the land of the Philis-
3 tines seven years. And it came to pass
at the seven years' end, that the woman
returned out of the land of the Philis-
tines: and she went forth to cry unto
the king for her house and for her land.
4 And the king talked with '^Gehazi the
servant of the man of God, saying. Tell
me, I ]iray thee, all the great thins^s that
5 Elisha hath done. And it came to pass,
as he was telling the king how he had
^'restored a dead hoiiy to life, that be-
hold, the woman, whose son he had re-
stored to life, cried to the king for her
house and for her land. And Gehazi
said. My lord, O king, this is the wo-
man, and this is her son, whom Elisha
6 restored to life. And when the king
asked the woman, she told him. So the
king appointed unto her a certain 'offi-
cer, saying, Restore all that was hers,
and all the fruits of the field since the
day that she left the land, even until
now.
7 And Elisha came to ■= Damascus; and
fBen-hadad the king of Syria was sick;

and it was told him, saying, The man of
God is come hither. And the king said s
unto sHazael, Take ''a present in thine
hand, and go, meet tlie man of God,
and 'inciuire of the Lord by him, say-
ing, Shall I recover of this disease? So 9
Hazael went to meet him, and took a
present 'with him, even of every good
thing of Damascus, forty camels' bur-
den, and came and stood before him,
and said, ''Thy son Ben-hadad king of
Syria hath sent me to thee, saying, Shall
I recover of this disease? And Elisha 10
said unto him, Go, say unto him. Thou
mayest certainly recover: howbeit the
Lord hath shewed me that 'he shall
surely die. And he settled his counte- n
nance 'stedfasdy, "'until //f was ashamed:
and the man of God wept. And Hazael 12
said, Why weepeth my lord? And he
answered. Because I know "the evil that
thou wilt do unto the children of Israel:
their strong holds wilt thou set on fire,
and their young mai wilt thou slay with
the sword, and "wilt dash their children,
and Prip up their women with child.
And Hazael said. But what, ")« thy ser-13
vant a dog, that he should do this great
thing? And Elisha answered, ''The
Lord hath shewed me thai thou s/njlt
be king over Syria. So he departed from 14
Elisha, and came to his m.aster; who
said to him, What said Elisha to thee?
And he answered. He told me t/tat '^thou
shouldest surely recover. And it came 15
to pass on the morrow, that he took a
thick cloth, and dipt // in water, and
spread // on his face, so that he died:
and Hazael reigned in his stead.
And in the fifth year of 'Joram the 16
son of .\hab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat
being then king of Judah, "Jehoram the
son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah ^hci^an
to reign. ^Thirty and two years old was 17
he when he began to reign ; and he reign-
ed eight years in Jerusalem. And he 18
walked in the way of the kings of Is-
rael, as did the house of .\hab: for >'the
daughter of Ahab was his wife: and he
did evil in the sight of the Lord. Yet 19
the Lord would not destroy Judah for
David his servant's sake, ^as he promised
him to give to him alway a 'light, "az/r/to
his children. In his days Edom revolt- 20
ed from under the hand of Judah, and
''made a king over themselves. So Jo- 21
ram went over to Zair, and all the cha-
riots with him: and he rose by night,
and smote the Edomites which compass-
ed him about, and the captains of the
chariots: and the people fled "^into their
22 tents. 'Vet Edom revolted from under
the hand of Judah unto this day. Then
23 '' Libnah revolted at the same time. And
the rest of the acts of Joram, and all
that he did, are they not written in the
book of the chronicles of the kings of
24 Judah? And Joram slept with his fa-
thers, and was buried with his fathers
<=in the city of David: and "Ahaziah his
son reigned in his stead.
25 In the ^twelfth year of Joram the son
of Ahab king of Israel did .\haziah the
son of Jehoram king of Judah begin to
26 reign. ''Two and twenty years old 7C'as
Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he
reigned one year in Jerusalem. And

27 'daughter of Omri king of Israel. And
he walked in the way of the house of
Ahab, and did evil in the sight of the
Lord, as did the house of .-^hab: for he
7i'(7j 'the son in law of the house of
23.-\hab. And he went with Joram the
son of Ahab to the war against ^ Hazael
king of Syria in 'Ramoth-gilead; and the
2j Syrians wounded Joram. And "king
Joram went back to be healed in "Jez-
reel of the wounds 'which the Syrians
had given him at 'Ramah, when he
fought against Hazael king of Syria.
"And Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king
of Judah went down to see Joram the
son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was
'sick.
.Vnd Elisha the prophet called one of
■"•the children of the projihets, and said
unto him, ''Gird up thy loins, and take

thither, look out there "=Jehu the son of

pour it on his head, and say. Thus saith
the Lord, I have anointed thee king

behold, the captains of the host iccre sit-

thee, O captain. And Jehu said. Unto

into the house; and he poured the oil

saith the Lord God of Israel, I have
anointed thee king over the people of
the Lord, even over Israel. And thou 7
shalt smite the house of Ahab thy mas-
ter, that I may avenge the blood of my
servants the prophets, and the blood of
all the servants of the Lord, sat the
hand of Jezebel. For the whole house 8
of Ahab shall perish: and ''I will cut oft"
from Ahab '//im I hat pisseth against the
wall, and "^hiin that is shut up and left
in Israel: and I will make the house of 9
Ahab like the house of 'Jeroboam the
son of Nebat, and like the house of
■"Baasha the son of Ahijah: "and the 10
dogs shall eat Jezebel in the portion of
° Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury
her. And he opened the door, and
fled.
Then Jehu came forth to the servants n
of his lord: and one said unto him, vis
(2// well.' wherefore came "Jthis mad/c/-
lotv to thee? And he said unto them,
Ye know the man, and his ■'communica-
tion. And tliey said, // is false; tell us 12
now. And he said, Thus and thus spake
he to me, saying. Thus saith the Lord,
I have anointed thee king over Israel.
Then they hasted, and ^took every man 13
his garment, and put // under him on
the top of the stairs, and 'blew with
trumpets, saying, Jehu 'is king. So Je- 14
hu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of
Nimshi conspired against Joram. ("Now
Joram had kept Ramoth-gilead, he and
all Israel, because of •'^Hazael king of
Syria. But vking 'Joram was returned is
to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds
which the Syrians 'had given him, when
he fought with Hazael king of Syria.)
And Jehu said. If it be your minds, then
*let none go forth nor escape out of the
city to go to tell // in "Jezreel. So Jehu 16
rode in a chariot, and went to Jezreel;
for Joram lay there. vAnd Ahaziah king
of Judah was come down to see Joram.
And there stood a watchman on the 17
tower in Jezreel, and he spied the com-
pany of Jehu as he came, and said, I see
a company. And Joram said. Take a
horseman, and send to meet them, and
let him say. Is it peace.' So there went is
one on horseback to meet him, and said.
Thus saith the king, Is it peace? And
Jehu said, What hast thou to do with
peace? turn thee behind me. And the
watchman told, saying, The messenger
came to them, but he cometh not again.
Then he sent out a second on horse- 19
back, which came to them, and said.
Thus saith the king. Is it peace? And
Jeliu answered. What hast thou to do
20 with peace? turn thee behind me. And
the watchman told, saying, He came lOr,

And there looked out to him two or
three 'eunuchs. And he said, Throw 33
her down. So they threw her down :
and some of her blood was sprinkled on
the wall, and on the horses: and he
trode her under foot. And when he 34
was come in, he did eat and drink, and
said. Go, see now this cursed rvoman,
and bury her : for " she is a king's
daughter. And they went to bury her : 35
but they found no more of her than
the skull, and the feet, and the palms
of her hands. Wherefore they came 36
again, and told him. And he said, This
is the word of the Lord, which he spake
'by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, say-
ing, "In the portion of Jezreel shall
dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel : and the 37
carcase of Jezebel shall be Pas dung
upon the face of the field in the portion
of Jezreel; so that they shall not say,
This is Jezebel.
And .^hab had seventy sons in ^Sa-
maria. And Jehu wrote letters, and
sent to Samaria, unto the rulers of Jez-
reel, to the elders, and to 'them that
brought up AhabV children, saying. Now 2
as soon as this letter cometh to you,
seeing your master's sons are with you,
and there are with you chariots and
horses, a fenced city also, and armour;
look even out the best and meetest of 3
your master's sons, and set him on his
father's throne, and fight for your mas-
ter's house. But they were exceedingly 4
afraid, and said. Behold, two kings
stood not before him: how then shall
we stand? And he that 7i'as over the 5
house, and he that was over the city,
the elders also, and the bringers up of
the childrcti, sent to Jehu, saying, '■We
are thy servants, and will do all that
thou shalt bid us; we will not make any
king: do .thou that which is good in
thine eyes. Then he wrote a letter the 6
second time to them, saying, If ye be
* mine, and if ye will hearken unto my
voice, take ye the heads of the men
your master's sons, and come to me to
Jezreel by to morrow tliis time. Now
the king's sons, being seventy persons,
',i<cre with the great men of the city,
which brought them up. And it came 7
to pass, when the letter came to them,
that they took the king's sons, and slew
seventy persons, and put their heads in
■^baskets, and sent him them to Jezreel.
And there came a messenger, and told s
him, saying. They have brought the
heads of the king's sons. And he said,
Lay ye them in two heaps at the enter-
ing in of the gate until the morning.
9 And it came to pass in the morning,
that he went out, and stood, and said
to all the people. Ye be righteous: be-
hold, ''I conspired against my master,
and slew him: but who slew all these?
10 Know now that there shall ^fall unto
the earth nothing of the word of the
Lord, which the Lord spake concern-
ing the house of Ahab: for the Lord
hath done that which he spake f 'by his
11 servant Elijah. So Jehu slew all that
remained of the house of Ahab in Jez-
reel, and all his great men, and his
"kinsfolks, and his e priests, until "^he
left him none remaining.
12 And he arose and departed, and
came to Samaria. And as he was at
13 the 'shearing house in the way, Jehu
'met with the 'brethren of Ahaziah king
of Judah, and said. Who are ye? And
they answered. We are the brethren of
Ahaziah; and we go down 'to salute
the children of the king and the chil-
Mdren of the '=queen. And he said. Take
them alive. And they took them alive,
and slew them at the pit of the shearing
house, even two and forty men ; neither
13 left he any of them. And i\-hen he was
departed thence, he 'lighted on 'Je-
honadab the son of ■" Rechab coming to
meet him: and he 'saluted him, and
said to him. Is thine heart right, as my
heart is with thy heart? And Jehona-
dab answered, It is. If it be, "give me
thine hand. And he gave him his hand ;
and he took him u]) to him into the
16 chariot. And he said, Come with me,
and see "my zeal for the Lord. So
17 they made him ride in his chariot. And
when he came to Samaria, he slew Pall
that remained unto Ahab in Samaria,
till he had destroyed him, according to
the saying of the Lord, ''which he spake
to Elijah.
18 And Jehu gathered all the people to-
gether, and said unto them, "'Ahab serv-
ed Baal a little; /'/// Jehu shall serve
19 him much. Now therefore call unto me
all the ^prophets of Baal, all his ser-
vants, and all his priests; let none be
wanting: for I have a great sacrifice to
do to Baal; whosoever shall be wanting,
he shall not live. But Jehu did it in
siibtilty, to the intent that he might
20 destroy the worshippers of Baal. And
Jehu said, 'Proclaim a 'solemn assem-

bly for Baal. And they "proclaimed //.
And Jehu sent through all Israel: and 21
all the worshippers of Baal came, so
that there was not a man left that came
not. And they came into the ^ house
of Baal; and the house of Baal was
"full from one end to another. And he 22
said unto him that lims over the vestry,
>" Bring forth vestments for all the wor-
shippers of Baal. And he brought them
forth vestments. And Jehu went, and 23
Jehonadab the son of Rechab, into the
house of Baal, and said unto the wor-
shippers of Baal, Search, and look that
there be here with yon none of the
servants of the Lord, but the worship-
pers of Baal only. And when they went 24
in to offer sacrifices and burnt ofterings,
Jehu appointed fourscore men without,
and said, // any of the men whom I
have brought into your hands escape, he
that lettcth him go, ^his life sha// be for
the life of him. And it came to pass, 25
as soon as he had made an end of
offering the burnt offering, that Jehu
said to the "guard and to the captains,
''Go in, and slay them; let none come
forth. And they smote them with 'the
edge of the sword; and the "guard
and the captains cast them out, and
went to the city of the house of Baal.
And they brought forth the 'images out 26
of the house of Baal, and burnt them.
And they brake down the image of 27
Baal, and brake down the house of
Baal, and made it "^a draught house
unto this day. Thus Jehu destroyed =8
Baal out of Israel. Howbeit from the 29
sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat,
•^who made Israel to sin, Jehu departed
not from after them, to wit, «the golden
calves that 7cc;r in Beth-el, and that
were in Dan. And the Lord said unto 30
Jehu, Because thou hast done well in
executing that which is right in mine
eyes, and hast done unto the house of
Ahab according to all that was in mine
heart, fthy children of the fourth gene-
ration shall sit on the throne of Israel.
But Jehu 'took no heed to walk in 31
the law of the I^ord God of Israel with
all his heart : for he departed not from
the sins of Jeroboam, ''which made Is-
rael to sin.
In those days the Lord sbegan *to 32
cut Israel short: and ''Hazael smote
them in all the coasts of Israel; from 33
Jordan 'eastward, all the land of Gilead,
the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and
the Manassites, 'from Aroer, which is
by the river Anion, "even ''Gilead and
34 Bashan. Now the ''rest of the acts of
Jehu, and all that he did, and all his
might, arc they not written in the book
of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
35 And Jehu slept with his fathers : and
they buried him in Samaria. And Je-
hoahaz his son reigned in his stead.
36 And 'the time that Jehu reigned over
Israel in Samaria 7c<as twenty and eight
years.
"yVnd when ''Athaliah the mother of
Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she
arose and destroyed all the 'seed royal.
2 But 'Jehosheba, the daughter of king
Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took "Joash
the son of Ahaziah, and stale him from
among the king's sons which were slain ;
and they hid him, a'en him and his
nurse, in the bedchamber from Atha-
sliah, so that he was not slain. And
he was with her hid in the house of
the Lord si.x years. And Athaliah did
reign over the land.
4 And the seventh year '^Jehoiada sent
and fet the rulers over hundreds, with
the ''captains and the ''guard, and
brought them to him into the house of
the Lord, and made a covenant with
them, and took an oath of them in the
house of the Lord, and shewed them
5 the king's son. And he commanded
tliem, saying. This is the thing that )'e
shall do; A third /i7r/ of you '"that enter
in on the sabbath shall even be keepers
c of the watch of the king's house ; and
a third part shall be at the gate of eSur;
and a third part at the gate behind
the "^guard: so shall ye keep the watch
of the house, 'that it be not broken
7 down. And two 'parts of all you fthat
go forth on the sabbath, even they shall
keep the watch of the hcuise of the
s Lord about the king. And ye shall
''compass the king round about, every
man with his weapons in his hand : and
he that cometh within 'the ranges, let
him be slain : and be ye with the king
as Jhe goeth out and as he cometh in.
9 And the captains over the hundreds
did according to all things that Je-
hoiada the priest commanded : and they
took every man his men fthat were to
come in on the sabbath, with them that
should go out on the sabbath, and came
10 to Jehoiada the priest. And to the cap-
tains over hundreds did the priest give

were in the temple of the Lord. And n
the ^ guard stood, every man with his
weapons in his hand, round about the
king, from the right 'corner of the tem-
ple to the left corner of the temple,
alo?ig by the altar and the temple.
And he brought forth the king's son, 12
and put ' the crown upon him, and gave
Jii/ii ""the Testimony; and they made
him king, and anointed him; and they
clapt their hands, and said, * God
save the king. And when Athaliah 13
heard the noise of the guard and of the
people, she came to the people into the
temple of the Lord. And when she 14
looked, behold, the king stood by "a
pillar, as the manner 7i.ias, and the
princes and the trumpeters by the king,
and all the people of the land rejoiced,
and "blew with trumpets: and Athaliah
P rent her clothes, and cried, Treason,
Treason. But Jehoiada the priest com- 15
manded the captains of the hundreds,
ithe officers of the host, and said unto
them, Have her forth without ' the
ranges : and him that followeth her kill
with the sword. For the priest had
said. Let her not be slain /// the house
of the Lord. And they laid hands on 16
her; and she went by the way by the
which 'the horses came into the king's
house: and there was she slain.
And ^Jehoiada made a covenant be- 17
tween the Lord and the king and the
people, that f/uy should be the Lord's
people; 'between the king also and the
people. And all the people of the land 18
went into the "house of Baal, and brake
it down; ^his altars and his images brake
they in pieces throughly, and slew Mat-
tan the priest of Baal before the altars.
And the priest appointed 'officers over
the house of the Lord. And he took 19
>the rulers over hundreds, and the cap-
tains, and the guard, and all the people
of the land ; and they brought down the
king from the house of the Lord, and
came by the way ^of the gate of the
guard to the king's house. And he sat
on the throne of the kings. And all 20
the people of the land rejoiced, and the
city was in quiet: and they slew Atha-
liah with the sword beside t\\t king's house.

Elisha died, and they buried him. And
the bands of the " Moabites invaded the
land at the coming in of the year. And 21
it came to pass, as they were burying a
man, that behold, they spied a band of
men; and they cast the man into the se-
pulchre of Elisha: and when the man
♦was let down, and touched the bones
of Elisha, -''he revived, and stood up on
his feet.
But >■ Hazael king of Syria oppressed 22
Israel all the days of Jehoahaz. ^ And 23
the Lord was gracious unto them, and
had compassion on them, and ='had re-
spect unto them, because of his cove-
nant with ''Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,
and would not destroy them, neither
cast he them from his 'presence as yet.
So Hazael king of Syria died; and Ben- 24
hadad his son reigned in his stead.
And Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz 'took 25
again out of the hand of Ben-hadad the
son of Hazael the cities, which he had
taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his
father by war. "^Three times did Joash
beat him, and recovered the cities of
Israel.
In ^the second year of Joash son of
Jehoahaz king of Israel reigned ''.\ma-
ziah the son of Joash king of Judah.
He was twenty and five years old when 2
he began to reign, and reigned twenty
and nine years in Jerusalem. And his
mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jeru-
salem. And he did that which tuas right 3
in the sight of the Lord, yet not like
David his father: he did according to
all things as Joash his father did. '=How- 4
beit the high places were not taken away:
as yet the people did sacrifice and burnt
incense on the high places. And it s
came to pass, as soon as the kingdom
was confirmed in his, hand, that he slew
his servants ''which had slain the king
his father. But the children of the mur- 6
derers he slew not : according unto that
which is written in the book of the law
of Moses, wherew the Lord command-
ed, saying, =The fathers shall not be put
to death for the children, nor the chil-
dren be put to death for the fathers; but
every man shall be put to death for his
own sin. ^He slew (/Edom in ethe val- ^
ley of salt ten thousand, and took 'Se-
lah by war, and called the name of it
•"Joktheel unto this day.
'Then Amaziah sent messengers to 8
Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Je-
hu, king of Israel, saying. Come, ' let us
9 look one another /// the face. And Je-
hoash the king of Israel sent to Ama-
ziah king of Judah, saying, ''The thistle
that was in Lebanon sent to the 'cedar
that was in Lebanon, saying. Give thy
daughter to my son to wife: and there
passed by a wild beast that was in Le-
banon, and trode down the thistle.
10 Thou hast indeed smitten Edom, and
"thine heart hath lifted thee up: glory
of this, and tarry *at home: for why
shouldest thou "meddle to thy hurt, that
thou shouldest fall, encn thou, and Judah
11 with thee? But Amaziah would not
hear. Therefore JehoasJi king of Israel
went up; and he and Amaziah king of
Judah looked one another /;/ the face at
"Beth-shemesh, \\\\\c\\bclongeth to Judah.
12 And Judah 'was put to the worse before
Israel; and theyPfled every man to their
13 tents. And Jehoash king of Israel took
Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Je-
hoash the son of Ahaziah, at °Beth-she-
mesh, and came /() Jerusalem, and brake
down the wall of Jerusalem from ithe
gate of Ephraim unto ■'the corner gate,
14 four hundred cubits. And he took ^all
the gold and silver, and all the vessels
that were found in the house of the
Lord, and in the treasures of the king's
house, and hostages, and returned to Sa-
15 maria. 'Now the rest of the acts of Je-
hoash which he did, and his might, and
how he fought with Amaziah king of Ju-
dah, are they not written in the book of
the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
16 And Jehoash slept with his fathers, and
was buried in Samaria with the kings of
Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in
his stead.
17 "And Amaziah the son of Joash king
of Judah lived after the death of Jeho-
ash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fif-
i3 teen years. And the rest of the acts of
Amaziah, are they not Avritten in the
book of the chronicles of the kings of
19 Judah? "Now they made a conspiracy
against him in Jeru.salem: and he fled to
vLachish; but they sent after him to La-
2ochish, and slew him there. And they
brought him on horses : and he was bu-
ried at Jerusalem with his fathers in the
21 city of David. And all the people of Ju-
dah took 'Azariah, which was sixteen
years old, and made him king instead of
22 his father Amaziah. He buik ^Elath,
and restored it to Judah, after that the
king slept with his fathers.

[There having
son of Joash king of Judah 'Jeroboam
the son of Joash king of Israel began to
reign in Samaria, and reigned forty and
one years. And he did i/iat which was^^
evil in the sight of the Lord: he de-
parted not from all the sins of Jeroboam
the son of Nebat, "who made Israel to
sin. He restored the coast of Israel 25
•^from the entering of Hamath unto '^the
sea of the plain, according to the word
of the Lord God of Israel, which he
spake by the hand of his servant ^Jo-
nah, the son of Amittai, the prophet,
which was of "^Gath-hepher. For these
Lord fsaw the affliction of Israel, that it
was very bitter: for ^ there was not any
shut up, nor any left, nor any helper for
Israel. ''And the Lord said not that he^^^j
would blot out the name of Israel from
under heaven: but he saved them by
the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.
Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, =8
and all that he did, and his might, how
he warred, and how he recovered 'Da-
mascus, and Hamath, ^ which belonged to
Judah, for Israel, are they not v/ritten in
the book of the chronicles of the kings
of Israel? And Jeroboam slept with his 29
fathers, even with the kings of Israel;
and " Zachariah his son reigned in his
stead.
In the 'twenty and seventh year of
Jeroboam king of Israel '■began 'Aza-
riah son of Amaziah king of Judah to
reign. •'Sixteen years old was he when 2
he began to reign, and he reigned two
and fifty years in Jerusalem. And his
mother's name rcvw Jecholiah of Jerusa-
lem. •'And he did that which was right 3
in the sight of the Lord, according to
all that his father Amaziah had done;
"^save that the high places were not re- 4
moved : the people sacrificed and burnt
incense still on the high places. And 5
the Lord ''smote the king, so that he
was a leper unto the day of his death,
and ''dwelt in a several house. And Jo-
tham the king's son icas over the house,
judging the people of the land. And 6
the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all
that he did, are they not written in the
book of the chronicles of the kings of
Judah? So Azariah slept with his fa- 7
thers; and they buried him fwith his fa-
thers in the city of David: and Jotham
his son reigned in his stead.
In the thirty and eighth )'ear of Aza- s
riah king of Judah did "Zachariah the

son of Jeroboam reign over Israel in
0 Samaria si.x months. And he did that
which 7C'as evil in the sight of the Lord,
as his fathers had done : he departed not
from the sins of Jeroboam the son of
10 Nel)at, Ewho made Israel to sin. And
Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired a-
gainst him, and "smote him before the
people, and slew him, and reigned in his
11 stead. And the rest of the acts of Za-
chariah, behold, they are written in the
book of the chronicles of the kings of
12 Israel. This 7oas ''the word of the Lord
which he spake unto Jehu, saying. Thy
sons shall sit on the throne of Israel
unto the fourth generation. And so it
came to pass.
13 Shallum the son of Jabesh Ihgan to
reign in the nine and thirdeth year of
'Uzziah king of Judah; and he reigned
14 'a full month in Samaria. For Mena-
hem the son of Gadiwent up from ''Tir-
zah, and came to Samaria, and smote
Shallum the son of Jabesh in Samaria,
and slew him, and reigned in his stead.
15 And the rest of the acts of Shallum, and
his conspiracy which he made, behold,
they arc written in the book of the chro-
nicles of the kings of Israel.
16 Then Menahem smote 'Tiphsah, and
all that ic'cre therein, and the coasts
thereof from ''Tirzah : because they open-
ed not to him, therefore he smote it;
and all "'the women therein that were
17 with child he ript up. In the nine and
thirtieth year of Azariah king of Judah
began Menahem the son of Gadi to reign
over Israel, and reigned ten years in Sa-
18 maria. And he did that which was evil
in the sight of the Lord: he departed
not all his days from the sins of Jero-
boam the son of Nebat, swho made Is-
igrael to sin. And "Pul the king of "As-
syria came against the land: and Mena-
hem gave Pul a thousand I'talcnts of sil-
ver, that his hand might be with him to
20 1 confirm the kingdom in his hand. And
Menahem 'exacted the money of Israel,
C7'c?t of all ''the mighty men of wealth, of
each man fifty Pshekels (t/" silver, to give
to the king of Assyria. So the king of
Assyria turned back, and stayed not
21 there in the land. And the rest of the
acts of Menahem, and all that he did,
are they not written in the book of the
22 chronicles of the kings of Israel? And
Menahem slept with his fathers : and Pe-
kahiah his son reigned in his stead.

Judah Pekahiah the son of Menahem
icj^an to reign over Israel in Samaria,
an// reigned two years. And he did tJiat ^^
which was evil in the sight of the Lord:
he departed not from the sins of Jero-
boam the son of Nebat, swho made Is-
rael to sin. But Pekah the son of Re- 25
maliah, a ^captain of his, conspired a-
gainst him, and smote him in Samaria,
in 'the palace of the king's house, with
Argob and Arieh; and with him fifty men
of the Gileadites: and he killed him,
and reigned in his room. And the rest 26
of the acts of Pekahiah, and all that he
did, behold, they arc written in the book
of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
In the two and fiftieth year of Aza-27
riah king of Judah Pekah the son of
Remaliah began to reign over Israel in
Samaria, and reigned twenty years. And 28
he did that which was evil in the sight
of the Lord : he departed not from the
sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, swho
made Israel to sin. In the days of Pe- 29
kah king of Israel came "Tiglath-pileser
king of Assyria, and took •''Ijon, and
"yAbel-beth-maachah, and >^Janoah, and
■"•Kedesh, and ''Hazor, and Gilead, and
Galilee, all the land of Naphtali, and
carried them captive to Assyria. And 30
Hoshea the son of Elah made a con-
spiracy against Pekah the son of Rema-
liah, and smote him, and slew him, and
'reigned in his stead, "in the twentieth
year of Jotham the son of Uzziah. And 31
the rest of the acts of Pekah, and all
that he did, behold, they are WTitten in
the book of the chronicles of the kings
of Israel.
In the second year of Pekah the son 32
of Remaliah king of Israel began "= Jo-
tham the son of Uzziah king of Judah
to reign. Five and twenty years old 33
was he when he began to reign, and he
reigned si.xteen years in Jerusalem. And
his mother's name was Jerusha, the
daughter of Zadok. And he did that -^
which was right in the sight of the
Lord: he did ''according to all that his
father Uzziah had done. "= Howbeit the 35
high places were not removed: the peo-
ple sacrificed and burnt incense still in
the high places. He built the Hiigher
gate of the house of the Lord, b Now 36
the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all
that he did, arc they not written in the
book of the chronicles of the kings of
Judah? "In those days the Lord began 37
to send against Judah ''Rezin the king
of Syria, and 'Pekah the son of Rema-
38 liah. '^And Jotham slept with his fa-
thers, and was buried with his fathers in
the city of David his father: and Ahaz
his son reigned in his stead.
In the seventeenth year of Pekah the
son of Remaliah Aliaz the son of Jo-
tham king of Judah began to reign.
2 ^'Twenty years old was Ahaz when he
began to reign, and reigned sixteen years
in Jerusalem, and did not that which
was right in the sight of the Lord his
3 God, like David his father. But he
walked in the way of the kings of Israel,
yea, ''and made his son to pass through
the fire, <=according to the abominations
of the heathen, whom the Lord cast out
4 from before the children of Israel. And
'*he sacrificed and burnt incense in the
high places, and 'on the hilLs, and un-
5 der every green tree. 'Then Rezin king
of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah
king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to
war: and they besieged Ahaz, but scould
6 not overcome him. At that time Rezin
king of Syria recovered Elath to Syria,
and drave the Jews from 'Elath: and
the Syrians came to Elath, and dwelt
7 there unto this day. ''So Ahaz sent mes-
sengers to 'Tiglath-pileser king of As-
syria, saying, I am thy servant and thy
son : come up, and save me out of the
hand of the king of Syria, and out of
the hand of the king of Israel, which
8 rise up against me. ''And Ahaz Hook
the silver and gold that was found in
the house of the Lord, and in the trea-
sures of the king's house, and sent it
for a 'pre.sent to the king of Assyria.
9 And the king of Assyria hearkened unto
him: for the king of Assyria went up
against 'Damascus, and 'took it, and
carried the people of it captive to '^ Kir,
and slew Rezin.
10 And king Ahaz went /c' Damascus to
meet Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, and
sav/ an altar that ivas at Damascus: and
king Ahaz sent to '^''Urijah the priest the
fashion of the altar, and the pattern of
it, according to all the workmanship
11 thereof And Urijah the priest built an
altar according to all that king Ahaz
had sent from Damascus: so Urijah the
priest made // against king Ahaz came
12 from Damascus. And when the king
was come from Damascus, the king saw
the altar: and 'the king approached to
13 the altar, and olTered thereon. And he
burnt his burnt offering and his meat

and sprinkled the blood of 'his peace
offerings, upon the altar. And he brought 14
also "'the brasen altar, which icas before
the Lord, from "the forefront of the
house, from between °the altar and the
house of the Lord, and put it on the
north side of "the altar. And king Ahaz is
commanded Urijah the priest, saying,
Upon °the great altar burn Pthe morn-
ing burnt offering, and the evening meat
offering, and the king's burnt sacrifice,
and his meat offering, with the burnt
offering of all the people of the land,
and their meat offering, and their drink
offerings; and sprinkle upon it all the
blood of the burnt offering, and all the
blood of the sacrifice: and "the brasen
altar shall be for me to inquire by. Thus 16
did Urijah the priest, according to all
that king Ahaz commanded. And king 17
Ahaz icut off ■'the borders of the bases,
and removed the laver from off them;
and took down Hhe sea from off the
brasen oxen that were under it, and put
it upon a pavement of stones. And the is
covert for the sabbath that they had
built in the house, and the king's entry
without, turned he from the house of
the Lord for the king of Assyria.
'Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz 19
which he did, arc they not written in
the book of the chronicles of the kings
of Judah? And Ahaz slept with his fa- 20
thers, and was buried "with his fathers
in the city of David: and Hezekiah his
son reigned in his stead.
In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of
Judah began "Hoshea the son of Elah to
reign in Samaria over Israel nine years.
And he did that which loas evil in the =
sight of the Lord, but not as the kings
of Israel that were before him. Against 3
him came up ''Shalmaneser king of A.s-
syria; and Hoshea became his servant,
and *gave him "presents. And the king 4
of Assyria found con,spiracy in Hoshea :
for he had sent messengers to So king
of Egypt, and brought no "present to
the king of Assyria, as he had done year
by year: therefore the king of Assyria
shut him up, and bound him in prison.
Then ''the king of Assyria came up 5
throughout all the land, and went up to
Samaria, and besieged it three years.
■^In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king 6
of Assyria took Samaria, and ''carried

the commandments of the Lord their
God, but walked in the statutes of Israel
which they made. And the Lord "re- 20
jected all the seed of Israel, and afflict-
ed them, and "delivered them into the
hand of spoilers, until /le had cast them
out of his sight. For Phe rent Israelii
from the house of David; and ithey
made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king:
and Jeroboam ■'drave Israel from follow-
ing the Lord, and hiiade them sin a
great sin. For the children of Israel 22
walked in all the sins of Jeroboam
which he did; they departed not from
them; until the Lord removed Israel 23
out of his sight, 'as he had said by all
his servants the prophets. "So was Is-
rael carried away out of their own land
to Assyria unto this day.
^And the king of Assyria brought 24
men from y Babylon, and from Cuthah,
and from "Ava, and from ^Hamath, and
from ='Sepharvaim, and placed f/u'w in
the cities of Samaria instead of the chil-
dren of Israel: and they possessed Sa-
maria, and dwelt in the cities thereof.
And so it was at the beginning of their 25
dwelling there, f/ia^ they feared not the
Lord: therefore the Lord sent lions
among them, which slew sowe of them.
Wherefore they spake to the king of26
Assyria, saying, The nations which thou
hast removed, and placed in the cities
of Samaria, know not the manner of the
God of the land : therefore he hath sent
lions among them, and behold, they slay
them, because they know not the man-
ner of the God of the land. Then the 27
king of Assyria commanded, saying.
Carry thither one of the priests whom
ye brought from thence; and let them
go and dwell there, and let him teach
them the manner of the God of the
land. Then one of the priests whom 28
they had carried away from Samaria
came and dwelt in ''Beth-el, and taught
them how they should fear the Lord.
Howbeit every nation made gods 0129
their own, and put f/iem in "=the houses
of the high places which the Samaritans
had made, every nation in their cities
wherein they dwelt. And the men of 30
'' Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the
men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men
of HamatJi made Ashima, and the 31
Avites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and
the Sepharvites <= burnt their children in
fire to fAdrammelech and Anamme-
32 lech, the gods of Sepharvaim. So they
feared the Lord, and smade unto them-
selves of the lowest of them priests of
the high places, which sacrificed for
them in =the houses of the high places.
33 ''They feared the Lord, and served
their own gods, after the manner of the
nations 'whom they carried away from
34 thence. Unto this day they do after
the fonner manners : they fear not the
Lord, neither do they after their sta-
tutes, or after their ordinances, or after
the law and commandment which the
Lord commanded the children of Ja-
33 cob, 'whom he named Israel; with
whom the Lord had made a covenant,
and charged them, saying, ^Ye shall
not fear other gods, nor 'bow yourselves
to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice
36 to them: but the Lord, ""who brought
you up out of the land of Egypt with
great power and "a stretched out arm,
him shall ye fear, and him shall ye wor-
ship, and to him shall ye do sacrifice.
37 And the statutes, and the ordinances,
and the law, and the commandment,
which he ^VT0te for you, °ye shall ob-
serve to do for evermore; and ''ye shall
38 not fear other gods. And the cove-
nant that I have made with you Pye
shall not forget; neither ''shall ye fear
39 other gods. But "J the Lord your God
ye shall fear; and he shall deliver you
out of the hand of all your enemies.
40 Howbeit they did not hearken, but
41 they did after their former manner. ''So
these nations feared the Lord, and
served their graven images, both their
children, and their children's children :
as did their fathers, jy do they unto this
day.
Now it came to pass in ^the third
year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Is-
rael, M(Z/ '''Hezekiah the son of Ahaz
3 king of Judah (^cyfzw to reign. Twenty
and five years old was he when lie di'giifi
to reign; and he reigned twenty and
nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's
name also 7C'tTs 'Abi, the daughter of Za-
3chariah. "^And he did //laf which joas
right in the sight of the Lord, according
4 to all that David his father did. ''He
removed the high places, and brake the
' images, and cut down =the groves, and
brake in pieces the fbrasen sei"pent that
Moses had made : for unto those days the
children of Israel did burn incense to it :

and he called it 'Nehushtan. He etrust- 5
ed in the Lord God of Israel; *'so that
after him was none like him among all
the kings of Judah, nor any that were
before him. For he 'clave to the Lord, 6
and departed not 'from following him,
but kept his commandments, which the
Lord commanded Moses. And "^the 7
Lord was with him; am/ he 'prospered
whithersoever he went forth: and he
■"rebelled again.st the king of Assyria,
and served him not. He "smote the a
Philistines, avn unto 'Gaza, and the
borders thereof, "from the tower of the
watchmen to the fenced city.
And Pit came to pass in the fourth 9
year of king Hezekiah, which 7i'as the
seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah
king of Israel, //lat Shalmaneser king of
Assyria came up against Samaria, and
besieged it. And at the end of three 10
years they took it : even in the sixth year
of Hezekiah, that is the ninth year of
Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was
taken. And the king of Assyria did n
carry away Israel unto Assyria, and put
them in Halah and in Habor l>y the
river of Gozan, and in the cities of the
Medes: because '^they obeyed not the 12
voice of the Lord their God, but ■'trans-
gressed his covenant, and all that Moses
the serA'ant of the Lord commanded,
and would not hear ///em, nor do //lem.
Now '^in the fourteenth year of king 13
Hezekiah did 'Sennacherib king of As-
syria come up against all the fenced
cities of Judah, and took them. And 14
Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king
of Assyria to 'Lachish, saying, I have
offended; return from me: ///a/ which
thou puttest on me will I bear. And
the king of Assyria appointed unto He-
zekiah king of Judah "three hundred ta-
lents of silver and thirty talents of gold.
And Hezekiah '^gave /t/ni all the silver 15
that was found in the house of the
Lord, and in the treasures of the king's
house. At that time did Hezekiah cut 16
off f/ie go/d from the doors of the temple
of the Lord, and from the pillars which
Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid,
and gave 'it to the king of AssyTia.
>And the king of Assyria sent ^Tar-17
tan and Rabsaris and Rab-shakeh from
Lachish to king Hezekiah with a 'great
host agains/ Jerusalem. And they went
up and came /o Jerusalem. And when
they were come up, they came and
stood by ''the conduit of the tipper
pool, which is in the highway of the
18 fuller's field. And when they had call-
ed to the king, there came out to them
''Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which 7c<as
over the household, and ''Shebna the
'scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph 'the
19 recorder. And Rab-shakeh said unto
them. Speak ye now to Hezekiah, Thus
saith the great king, the king of Assyria,
''What confidence is this where/// thou
2otrustest? Thou "sayest, (but t/iey are
bid 'vain words,) •/ //t7?r counsel and
strength for the war. Now on whom
dost thou trust, that thou rebellest a-
21 gainst me? Now behold, thou 'trustest
upon '^the staff of this bruised reed, rcen
upon Eg)'pt, on which if a man lean,
it will go into his hand, and pierce it :
so is Pharaoh king of Egypt unto all
22 that trust on him. But if ye say unto
me. We trust in the Lord our God : is
not //lat he, f whose high places and
whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away,
and hath said to Judah and Jerusalem,
Ye shall worship before this altar in
23 Jerusalem? Now therefore, I pray thee,
give "pledges to my lord the king of
Assyria, and I will deliver thee two
thousand horses, if thou be able on thy
=4 part to set riders upon them. How
then wilt thou turn away the face of
one captain of the least of my master's
servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for
25 chariots and for horsemen? Am I now
come up without the Lord against this
place to destroy it ? The Lord said to
me. Go up against this land, and de-
stroy it.
26 Then said Eliakim the son of Hil-
kiah, and Shebna, and Joah, unto Rab-
shakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy
servants sin the Syrian language; for
we understand i/ : and talk not with us
in the Jews' language in the ears of
27 the peo])le that are on the wall. But
Rab-shakeh said unto them. Hath my
master sent me to thy master, and to
thee, to speak these words? /lai/i /le
not sen/ me to the men which sit on
the wall, that //ley may eat their own
dung, and drink ♦ their own piss with
28 you? Then Rab-shakeh stood and ''cried
with a loud voice in the Jews' language,
and spake, saying. Hear the word of
the great king, the king of AssjTia :
29 Thus saith the king, 'Let not Heze-
kiah ■" deceive you : for he shall not be
able to deliver you out of his hand :
30 neither let Hezekiah make you trust

* Luke 3. 4,
called
Esaias,
in the Lord, saying, The Lord will
surely deliver us, and this city shall not
be delivered into the hand of the king
of Assyria. Hearken not to Hezekiah:3i
for thus saith the king of Assyria, • Make
an agreement with me by a present, and
come out to me, and then eat ye every
man ''of his own vine, and every one of
his fig tree, and drink ye every one the
waters of his "cistern: until I come and 32
take you away to a land like your own
land, 'a land of corn and wine, a land
of bread and vineyards, a land of oil
olive and '"of honey, that ye may live,
and not die : and hearken not unto
Hezekiah, when he ' persuadeth you,
saying. The Lord will deliver us.
" Hath any of the gods of the nations 33
delivered at all his land out of the
hand of the king of AssyTia? "Where 34
are the gods of PHamath, and of lAr-
pad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim,
Hena, and "Ivah? have they delivered
Samaria out of mine hand? Who are n
they among all the gods of the coun-
tries, that have delivered their country
out of mine hand, that ■'the Lord should
deliver Jerusalem out of mine hand?
But the people held their peace, and 36
answered him not a word : for the king's
commandment was, saying. Answer him
not. Then came ^Eliakim the son of 37
Hilkiah, which was over the household,
and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the
son of Asaph the recorder, to Hezekiah
'with their clothes rent, and told him
the words of Rab-shakeh.
And it came to pass, when king He-
zekiah heard //, that ='he rent his clothes,
and ''covered himself with sackcloth,
and "^went into the house of the Lord.
And he sent Eliakim, which was over 2
the household, and Shebna the scribe,
and the elders of the priests, ''covered
with sackcloth, ''to Esai the prophet
the son of Amoz. And they said unto 3
him. Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is
a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and
'blasphemy: for the children are come
to the birth, and there is not strength
to bring forth. <=It may be the Lord 4
thy God will hear all the words of Rab-
shakeh, whom the king of Assyria his
master hath sent ^to reproach the living
God; and svvill reprove the words which
''the Lord thy God hath heard: where-
fore lift up thy prayer for 'the remnant
that are 'left. So the servants of king 5
Hezekiah came to Isaiah. And * Isaiah 6
said unto them. Thus shall ye say to
your master, Thus saith the Lord, Be
not afraid of the words which thou
hast heard, loith which ''the servants of \^^'^„^^;
the king of Assyria have blasphemed 2 Sam. 9. g

Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to 20
Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the Lord
God of Israel, That which thou hast
prayed to me against Sennacherib king
of Assyria "I have heard. This is the 21
word that the Lord hath spoken con-
cerning him;
The ° virgin the daughter of Zion
hath despised thee, and laughed
thee to scorn;
The daughter of Jerusalem p hath
shaken her head at thee.
Whom hast thou 1 reproached and ==
"■blasphemed?
And against whom hast thou exalted
thy voice,
And lift up thine eyes on high ?
Eve?i against ^the Holy One of Is-
rael.
' ' By thy messengers thou hast reproach- 23
ed the Lord, and hast said,
"With the multitude of my chariots I
am come u))
To the height of the mountains, to the
sides of ^Lebanon,
And will cut down *the tall "cedar
trees thereof, and the choice fir
trees thereof:
And I will enter into the lodgings
of his borders, and into " the forest
of his yCarmel.
I have digged and drunk strange wa-24
ters.
And with the sole of my feet have
I dried up all the rivers of " be-
sieged places.
' Hast thou not heard long ago ho7o 25
^I have done it.
And of ancient times that I have
formed it?
Now *have I brought it to pass, that
thou shouldest be to lay waste
Fenced cities into ruinous heaps.
Therefore their inhabitants ivere 'of 26
small power,
They were dismayed and confounded ;
They were as the grass of the field,
and as the green 'Jherb,
As "^the grass on the house tops, and
as corn blasted before it be grown
up.
But I know thy 'abode, and ''thy go- 27
ing out, and thy coming in,
And thy rage against me.
Because thy rage against me and 28
thy tumult is come up into mine
ears.
Therefore I will put 'my hook in thy
nose, and my bridle in thy lips,
And I will turn thee back fby the
way by which thou earnest.
29 And this shall be sa sign unto thee,
Ye shall eat this year ''such things as
grow of themselves,
And in the second year that which
springeth of the same;
And in the third year sow ye, and
reap.
And plant vineyards, and eat the fruits
thereof
30 'And 'the remnant that is escaped of
the house of Judah
Shall yet again take root downward,
and bear fruit upward.
31 For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a
remnant,
And 'they that escape out of mount
Zion:
''The zeal of the Lord of hosts shall
do this.
32 Therefore thus saith the Lord con-
cerning the king of Assyria,
He shall not come into this city,
Nor shoot an arrow there.
Nor come before it 7vith shield,
Nor 'cast a bank against it.
33 "By the way that he came, by the same
shall he return,
And shall not come into this cityj
saith the Lord.
34 For ° I will defend this city, to
save it.
For mine own sake, and "for my
servant David's sake.
35 And rit came to pass that night, that
•ithe angel of the Lord went out, and
smote "■ in the camp of the Assyrians
an hundred fourscore and five thousand :
and when they arose early in the morn-
ing, behold, they wet-e all dead corpses.
36 So Sennacherib king of Assyria depart-
ed, and went and returned, and dwelt
37 at ^Nineveh. And it came to pass, as
he was worshipping in the house of Nis-
roch his god, that 'Adranlmelech and
Sharezer his sons "smote him with the
sword : and they escaped into the land
of 'Armenia. And "Esarhaddon his son
reigned in his stead.
In ^ those days was Hezekiah sick
unto death. And the prophet Isaiah
the son of Amoz came to him, and said
unto him. Thus saith the Lord, 'Set
thine house in order; for thou shalt die,
2 and not live. Then he turned his face
''to the wall, and prayed unto the Lord,

saying, I beseech thee, O Lord, =re- 3
member now how I have walked before
thee m truth and with ''a perfect heart,
and '^have done t/tat which is good in
thy sight. And Hezekiah fwept 'sore.
And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was 4
gone out into the middle 'court, that
the word of the Lord came to him,
saying. Turn again, and tell Hezekiah 5
Ethe captain of my people, Thus saith
the Lord, the God of David thy father,
•^I have heard thy prayer, I have seen
'thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on
the third day thou shalt go up uiifi)
the house of the Lord. And I will 6
add unto thy days fifteen years; and
I will deliver thee and this city out of
the hand of the king of Assyria; and
''I will defend this city for mine own
sake, and for my servant David's sake.
And 'Isaiah said. Take a lump of figs. ^
And they took and laid // on "Hhe boil,
and he recovered. And Hezekiah said 8
unto Isaiah, "What shall be the sign
that the Lord will heal me, and that
I shall go up info the house of the Lord
the third day? And Isaiah said. This 9
sign shalt thou have of the Lord, that
the Lord will do the thing that he hath
spoken: ^shall the shadow go fonvard
ten degrees, or go back ten degrees?
And Hezekiah answered. Pit is a light 10
thing for ithe shadow to go down ten
degrees : nay, but let the shadow return
backward ten degrees. And Isaiah then
prophet cried unto the Lord: and he
brought the shadow ten degrees back-
ward, by which it had gone down in the
'dial of Ahaz.
•■At that time • Berodach-baladan, the 12
son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent
letters and a present unto Hezekiah :
for he had heard that Hezekiah had
been sick. And Hezekiah ^hearkened 13
unto them, and shewed them all the
house of his 'precious things, the silver,
and the gold, and the spices, and the
precious ointment, and all the house of
his "armour, and all that was found in
his treasures: there was nothing in his
house, nor in all his dominion, that
Hezekiah shewed them not. Then came 14
Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah,
and said unto him. What said these
men? and from whence came they unto
thee? And Hezekiah said. They are
come from a far country, even from Ba-
bylon. And he said. What have they 15
seen in thine house? And Hezekiah
answered, 'All the things that are in
mine house have they seen: there is
nothing among my treasures that I have
i6 not shewed them. And Isaiah said un-
to Hezekiah, Hear the word of the
17 Lord. Behold, the days come, that all
that is in thine house, and that which
thy fathers have laid up in store unto
this day, "shall be carried unto Baby-
lon : nothing shall be left, saith the
18 Lord. And of thy sons that shall issue
from thee, which thou shalt beget, ^shall
they take away; "and they shall be
eunuchs in the palace of the king of
19 Babylon. Then said Hezekiah unto
Isaiah, 5' Good is the word of the Lord
which thou hast spoken. And he said,
'A it not good, if peace and truth be
20 in my days? ^And the rest of the acts
of Hezekiah, and all his might, and
how he ^made a pool, and a conduit,
and ''brought water into the city, are
they not written in the book of the
21 chronicles of the kings of Judah? And
■^ Hezekiah slept with his fathers : and
Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.
Manasseh '^was twelve years old when
he began to reign, and reigned fifty and
five years in Jerusalem. And his mo-
2 ther's name 7cias Hephzi-bah. And he
did that which zcas evil in the sight
of the Lord, ''after the abominations
of the heathen, whom the Lord cast
3 out before the children of Israel. For
he built /// again the high places <=which
Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and
he reared up altars for Baal, and made

land which I gave their fathers ; only if
they will observe to do according to all
that I have commanded them, and ac-
cording to all the law that my servant
Moses commanded them. But they 9
hearkened not: and Manasseh seduced
them to do more evil than did the na-
tions whom the Lord destroyed before
the children of Israel.
And the Lord spake by his sen-ants 10
the prophets, saying, p Because Manas- n
sell king of Judah hath done these abo-
minations, 1 and hath done wickedly
above all that the Amorites did, which
were before him, and ''hath made Judah
also to sin with his ^ idols: therefore 12
thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Be-
hold, I am bringing such evil upon Je-
rusalem and Judah, that whosoever hear-
eth of it, ' both his ears shall tingle.
And I will stretch over Jerusalem "the ij
line of Samaria, and the plummet of the
house of Ahab: and I will wipe Jeru-
salem as a man wipeth a dish, * wiping
//, and turning H upside down. And 1 14
will forsake the remnant of mine inhe-
ritance, and deliver them into the hand
of their enemies; and they shall become
a prey and a spoil to all their enemies ;
because they have done that which 15
was evil in my sight, and have "pro-
voked me to anger, since the day their
fathers came forth out of Egypt, even
unto this day.
-''Moreover Manasseh shed innocent 16
blood very much, till he had filled Je-
rusalem *from one end to another; be-
side his sin ■'whereKvV'// he made Judah
to sin, in doing that which was evil in
the sight of the Lord. Now vthe rest 17
of the acts of Manasseh, and all that
he did, and his sin that he sinned, aj-e
they not written in the book of the
chronicles of the kings of Judah? And is
^Manasseh slept with his fathers, and
was buried in the garden of his own
house, in the garden of ='Uzza: and
Amon his son reigned in his stead.
'' Amon urns twenty and two years old 19
when he began to reign, and he reigned
two years in Jerusalem. And his mother's
name was Meshullemeth, the daughter
of Haruz of '^Jotbah. And he did that ^a
which was evil in the sight of the Lord,
''as his father Manasseh did. And he 21
walked in all the way that his father
walked in, and served the idols that his
father served, and worshipped them:
and he «^forsook the Lord God of his 22
fathers, and walked not in the way of
23 the Lord. And the servants of Amon
conspired against him, and slew the
24 king in his own house. And the peo-
ple of the land slew all them that had
conspired against king Amon; and the
people of the land made Josiah his son
25 king in his stead. Now the rest of the
acts of Amon which he did, are they not
written in the book of the chronicles
26 of the kings of Judah ? And he was
buried in his sepulchre fin the garden
of Uzza: and *Josiah his son reigned
in his stead.
Josiah ^7i.ias eight years old when he
began to reign, and he reigned thirty
and one years in Jerusalem. And his
mother's name was Jedidah, the daughter
2 of Adaiah of ''Boscath. And he did
that which was right in the sight of the
Lord, and walked in all the way of
David his father, and '^turned not aside
■xto the right hand or to the left. ''And
it came to pass in the eighteenth year of
king Josiah, that the king sent Shaphan
the son of Azaliah, the son of Meshul-
1am, the scribe, to the house of the Lord,
4 saying. Go up to Hilkiah ''the high
priest, that he may sum the silver which
is ^brought into the house of the Lord,
which the keepers of the 'door have
5 gathered of the people : and let them
8 deliver it into the hand of the doers of
the work, that have the oversight of the
house of the Lord : and let them give
it to the doers of the work which is in
the house of the Lord, to repair the
6 breaches of the house, sunto carpenters,
and builders, and masons, and to buy
timber and hewn stone to repair the
7 house. Howbeit "^there was no reckon-
ing made with them of the money that
was delivered into their hand, because
they dealt faithfully.
8 And Hilkiah the high priest said unto
Shaphan the scribe, 'I have found the
book of the law in the house of the
Lord. And Hilkiah gave the book to
9 Shaphan, and he read it And Shaphan
the scribe came to the king, and brought
the king word again, and said. Thy
servants have 'gathered the money that
was found in the house, and have deli-
vered it into the hand of them that do
the work, that have the oversight of the
10 house of the Lord. And Shaphan the
scribe shewed the king, saying, Hilkiah
the priest hath delivered me a book.
And Shajjhan read it before the king.

And it came to pass, when the kingn
had heard the words of the book of
the law, that ■> he rent his clothes. And 12
the king commanded Hilkiah the priest,
and '^Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and
•Achbor the son of "Michaiah, and
Shaphan the scribe, and Asahiah a
servant of the king's, saying. Go ye, in- 13
quire of the Lord for me, and for the
people, and for all Judah, concerning the
words of this book that is found: for
great is 'the wrath of the Lord that is
kindled against us, because our fathers
have not hearkened unto the wonis of
this book, to do according unto all that
which is wTitten concerning us. So 14
Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and
Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah,
went unto Huldah the prophetess, the
wife of Shallum the son of "Tikvah, the
son of 'Harhas, keeper of the 'ward-
robe; (now she dwelt in Jenisalem 'in
the college;) and they communed with
her. And she said unto them. Thus is
saith the Lord God of Lsrael, Tell the
man that sent you to me. Thus saith 16
the Lord, Behold, I will bring evil upon
this place, and upon the inhabitants
thereof, even all the words of the book
which the king of Judah hath read :
'"becttuse they have forsaken me, and 17
have burnt incense unto other gods,
that they might "provoke me to anger
with all the works of their hands; there-
fore °my wrath shall be kindled against
this place, and shall not be quenched.
But to the king of Judah which sent is
you to inquire of the Lord, thus shall
ye say to him. Thus saith the Lord God
of Israel, As touching the words which
thou hast heard; because thine p heart 19
was tender, and thou hast 1 humbled thy-
self before the Lord, when thou heard-
est what I spake against this place, and
against the inhabitants thereof, tliat
they should become 'a desolation and
^a curse, and ■> hast rent thy clothes, and
wept before me ; I also have heard thee,
saith the Lord. Behold therefore, 1 20
will gather thee unto thy fathers, and
thou 'shalt be gathered into thy grave
in peace; and thine eyes shall not see
all the evil which I will bring upon this
place. And they brought the king word
again.
And ^the king sent, and they gathered

Jerusalem. And the king went up into 2

the fire to "Molech. And he ''tookn
away the horses that the kings of Judah
had given to the sun, at the entering in
of tlie house of the Lord, by the >' cham-
ber of Nathan-melech the "chamberlain,
which 2cias in the ^suburbs, and burnt
the chariots of the sun with fire. And 12
the altars that were ^on the top of the
''upper chamber of Ahaz, which the
kings of Judah had made, and the altars
which '^Manasseh had made in the two
courts of the house of the Lord, did
the king beat down, and 'brake them
down from thence, and cast the dust of
them into ''the brook Kidron. And 13
the high places that were before Jerusa-
lem, which ivere on the right hand of
"the mount of corruption, which Solo-
mon the king of Israel had builded for
^Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zi-
donians, and for ''Chemosh the abomi-
nation of the Moabites, and for =Mil-
com the abomination of the children of
Amnion, did the king defile. And he 14
brake in pieces the 'images, and cut
down the groves, and filled their places
with the bones of men.
Moreover the altar that was at Beth-el, 15
a?id the high place « which Jeroboam the
son of Nebat, ''who made Israel to sin,
had made, both that altar and the high
place he brake down, and burnt the
high place, and stanipt it small to
powder, and burnt the grove. And 16
as Josiah turned himself, he spied the
sepulchres that were there in the mount,
and sent, and took the bones out of the
sepulchres, and burnt them upon the
altar, and polluted it, 'according to the
word of the Lord which the man of
God proclaimed, who proclaimed these
words. Then he said, What '^title is ij
that that I see? And the men of the
city told him, // is 'the sepulchre of the
man of God, which came from Judah,
and proclaimed these things that thou
hast done against the altar of Beth-el. is
And he said. Let him alone; let no man
move his bones. So they let his bones
'alone, with the bones "'of the prophet
that came out of Samaria. And all the 19
houses also of the high places that were
"in the cities of Samaria, which the
kings of Israel had made to provoke
the Lord to anger, Josiah took away,
and did to them according to all the
acts that he had done in Beth-el. And 20
he '"slew all the priests of the high
places that were there upon the altars.
and P burnt men's bones upon them,
and returned to Jerusalem.
21 And the king commanded all the
people, saying, ") Keep the passover unto
the Lord your God, 'as it is written
22 in ^the book of this covenant. 'Surely
there was not holden such a passover
from the days of the judges that judged
Israel, nor in all the days of the kings
of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah;
23 but in the eighteenth year of king
Josiah, 7uherei>i this passover was holden
24 to the Lord in Jerusalem. Moreover
the ^workers with familiar spirits, and
the wizards, and the "images, and -"'the
idols, and all the abominations that
were spied in the land of Judah and in
Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that
he might perform ^the words of the
law which were written in the book that
Hilkiah the priest found in the house
25 of the Lord. ^And like unto him was
there no king before him, that turned to
the Lord with all his heart, and with
all his soul, and ''with all his might,
according to all the law of Moses;
neither after him arose there any like
26 him. Notwithstanding the Lord turned
not from the fierceness of his great
wrath, whererc'//'// his anger was kindled
against Judah, '^because of all the 'pro-
vocations that Manasseh had provoked
27 him withal. And the Lord said, I will
remove Judah also out of my sight, as
"I have removed Israel, and ''will cast
off this city Jerusalem which I have
chosen, and '=the house of which I said,
28 My name shall be there. Now the rest
of the acts of Josiah, and all that he did,
are they not written in the book of the
29 chronicles of the kings of Judah ? fin
his days sPharaoh-nechoh king of Egypt
went up against the king of Assyria to
the river Euphrates: and king Josiah
went against him ; and he slew him at
''Megiddo, when he 'had seen him.
30 ''And his servants carried him in a
chariot ' dead from'' Megiddo, and brought
him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his
own sepulchre. And "the people of
the land took Jehoahaz the son of
Josiah, and anointed him, and made
him king in his father's stead.
31 "Jehoahaz was twenty and three years
old when he began to reign ; and he
reigned three months in Jerusalem. And
his mother's name was "Hamutal, the
32 daughter of Jeremiah of " Libnah. And
he did that which 'was evil in the sight

put him in bands at pRiblah in the land
of 1 Hamath, "that he might not reign in
Jerusalem; and 'put the land to a tri-
bute of ■'an hundred talents of silver,
and a talent of gold. And Pharaoh- 3*
nechoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah
king in the room of Josiah his father,
and ^turned his name to ''Jehoiakim, and
took Jehoahaz away : and he came Vi?
Egypt, and died there. And Jehoiakim 35
gave "the silver and the gold to Pha-
raoh; but he "taxed the land to give
the money according to the command-
ment of Pharaoh : he exacted the silver
and the gold of the people of the land,
of every one according to his ta.xation,
to give // unto Pharaoh-nechoh.
>' Jehoiakim was twenty and five year 36
old when he began to reign ; and he
reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And
his mother's name was Zebudah, the
daughter of Pedaiah of ^Rumah. ^.^nd 37
he did that which 7vas evil in the sight
of the Lord, according to all that his
fathers had done. In "his days Nebu-

and Jehoiakim became his servant ''three
years : then he turned and rebelled
against him. "^And the Lord sent 2
against him ''bands of the Chaldees, and
''= bands of the Syrians, and ^'"bands of the
Moabites, and bands of sthe children of
Ammon, and sent them against Judah
to destroy it, '•according to the word of
the Lord, which he spake ' by his servants

ment of the Lord came this upon Judah,
to remove them out of his sight, 'for the
.sins of Manasseh, according to all that
he did; and also/t'rJ the innocent blood 4
that he shed : for he filled Jerusalem
with innocent blood ; which the Lord
would not pardon. ''Now the rest of s
the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he
did, are they not written in the book
of the chronicles of the kings of Judah ?
So Jehoiakim 'slept with his fathers: 6
and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his

not again any more out of his land : for
"■the king of Babylon had taken from

"Jehoiachin was "eighteen years old 8

And the city was besieged unto the 2
eleventh year of king Zedekiah. And 3
on the ninth day of the ^fourth month
'^the famine prevailed in the city, and
there was no bread for the people of
the land. And '=the city was broken up, 4
and fall the men of war sjlcd by night
l>y the way of the gate between two
walls, which is by ''the king's garden:
(now the ' Chaldees 'lUcre against the
city round about :) and ■' the king went
the way toward '^the plain. And the 5
army of the Chaldees pursued after the
king, and overtook him in "^the plains
of Jericho: and all his army were scat-
tered from Iiim. .So they took the king, 6
and 'brought him up to the king of

judgment upon him. And they slew 7
the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes,
and '"put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and

And in the p fifth month, on the ise- s

nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnez-
zar king of Babylon, came Nebuzar-
adan, " captain of the guard, a servant
of the king of Babylon, wita Jerusalem:
and *he burnt the house of the Lord, 9
and the king's house, and 'all the houses
of Jerusalem, and every great man's
house burnt he with fire. And all the 10
army of the Chaldees, that were '^Knt/i

the walls of Jerusalem round about.
Now "the rest of the people that wereu
left in the city, and the 'fugitives that
fell away to the king of Babylon, with
the remnant of the multitude, did Ne-
buzar-adan the captain of tlie guard
carry away. But the captain of the 12
guard left s'of the poor of the land to be
vinedre.ssers .and husbandmen. ^ And 13
''the pillars of brass that wcir in the
house of the Lord, and ''the bases, and
'^the brasen sea that icas in the house
of the Lord, did the Chaldees break in
pieces, and carried the brass of them to
Babylon. And ^ the pots, and <' the 14
shovels, and 'the snuffers, and fthe
spoons, and all the vessels of brass
wherewith they ministered, took they
away. And '' the firepans, and "^ the 15
bowls, and such things as were of gold,
in gold, and of silver, in silver, the cap-
tain of the guard took away. sThe 16
two pillars, 'one sea, and ''the bases
which Solomon had made for the house
of the Lord; 'the brass of all these
17 vessels was without weight. •'The height
of the one pillar was eighteen cubits,
and the chapiter upon it was brass :
and the height of the chapiter 'three
cubits ; and the wreathen work, and
pomegranates upon the chapiter round
about, all of brass: and like unto these
h.ad the second pillar with wTeathen
is work. And the captain of the guard
took ""Seraiah "the chief priest, and
°Zephaniah Pthe second priest, and the
19 three keepers of the 'door: and out of
the city he took an 'officer that was set
over the men of war, and ifive men of
them that 'were in the king's presence,
which were found in the city, and the
''principal .scribe of the host, which mus-
tered the people of the land, and three-
score men of the people of the land
lothat were found in the city: and Ne-
buzar-adan captain of the guard took
these, and brought them to the king of
J I Babylon to ■■ Riblah; and the king of
Babylon smote them, and slew them at
"■Riblah in the land of Hamath. ^So
Judah was carried away out of their
land.
22 And as for the people that remained
in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchad-
nezzar king of Babylon had left, even
over them he made ' Gedaliah the son
of ".\hikam, the son of Shaphan, ruler.
23 l\.w\ when all the " captains of the
armies, they and their men, heard that
the king of Babylon had made Geda-
liah governor, there came to Gedaliah
to vMizpah, even Ishmael the son of
Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of
Careah, and Seraiah the son of Tan-
humeth ^the ^Netophathite, and Jaaza-
niah the son of a "^ JNLaachathite, they
24 and their men. And Gedaliah sware to
them, and to their men, and said unto
them, Fear not to be the servants of
the Chaldees: dwell in the Land, and
serve the king of Babylon; and it shall
25 be well with you. But '^it came to pass
in the ''seventh month, that Ishmael the
son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama,
of the seed 'royal, came, and ten men
with him, and smote Gedaliah, that he
died, and the Jews and the Chaldees
26 that were with him at vMizpah. And
all the people, both small and great,
and the captains of the armies, arose,
and came to *= Egypt : for they were afraid
of the Chaldees.

Meshelemiah was porter of the door of
the tabernacle of the congregation. All 22
these which were ''chosen to be porters
in the gates were two hundred and
twelve. These were reckoned by their
genealogy in their villages, whom ^Da-
vid and Samuel "^the seer 'did ordain in
their "set office. So they and their chil-23
dren had the oversight of the gates of
the house of the Lord, namely, the
house of the tabernacle, by wards. In 24
four quarters were the porters, toward
the east, west, north, and south. And 25
their brethren, which loere ''in their vil-
lages, we7'e to come = after seven days
from time to time with them. For 26
these Levites, the four chief porters,
rvcre in their 'set office, and were over
the ' chambers and treasuries of the
house of God. And they lodged round 27
about the house of God, because fthe
charge was upon them, and the opening
thereof ewtry morning pertained to them.
And certain of them had the charge of 23
the ministering vessels, that they should
'bring them in and out by tale. Some^g
of them also 7aere appointed to oversee
the vessels, and all the 'instruments of
the sanctuary, and sthe fine tlour, and
the wine, and the oil, and the frank-
incen.se, and the spices. And sofne of 30
the sons of the priests ''made the oint-
ment of the spices. And Mattithiah, 31
one of the Levites, who 7C'as the first-
born of 'Shallum the Korahite, had the
'set office over the things that were
made 'in the pans. And other oi their 32
brethren, of the sons of the Kohathites,
7t:'£vr J over the 'shewbread, to prepare //
every sabbath. And these are "^ the 33
singers, chief of the fathers of the Le-
vites, 7vho remaining in the chambers
'iL'cre 'free: for 'they were employed in
that work ™day and night. These chief 34
fathers of the Levites were chief through-
out their generations ; these dwelt at
Jerusalem.
"And in Gibeon dwelt the father of 35
Gibeon, Jehiel, whose wife's name 7Lias
Maachah : and his firstborn son Abdon, 36
then Zur, and Kish, and Baal, and Ner,
and Nadab, and Gedor, and Ahio, and 37
Zechariah, and Mikloth. And Mikloth 38
begat Shimeam. And they also dwelt
with their brethren at Jerusalem, over
against their brethren.
"And Ner begat Kish ; and Kish begat 39
Saul ; and Saul begat Jonathan, and
Malchishua, and Abinadab, and Esh-
4obaal. And the son of Jonathan was
PMerib-baal: and Merib-baal begat Mi-
41 cah. And the sons of Micah were,
Pithon, and Melech, and Tahrea, '^and
42 A has. And Ahaz begat ■■ Jarah ; and
Jarah begat Alemeth, and Azmaveth,
43 and Zimri ; and Zimri begat Moza ; and
Moza begat Binea; and ^Rephaiah his
44 son, Eleasah his son, Azel his son. And
Azel had six sons, whose names are
these, Azrikam, Bocheru, and Ishmael,
and Sheariah, and Obadiah, and Hanan :
these 7i.'ere the sons of Azel.
Now ^the Philistines fought against
Israel; and the men of Israel fled from
before the Philistines, and fell down
2 'slain in mount Gilboa. And the Phi-
listines followed hard after Saul, and
after his sons; and the Philistines slew
Jonathan, and 'Abinadab, and Malchi-
3 shua, the sons of Saul. And the battle
went sore against Saul, and the 'archers
'hit him, and he was wounded of the
4 archers. Then said Saul to his armour-
bearer. Draw thy sword, and thrust me
through therewith ; lest these uncircum-
cised come and 'abuse me. But his ar-
mourbearer would not; for he was sore
afraid. So Saul took a sword, and fell
5 upon it. And when his armourbearer
saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise
6 on the sword, and died. So Saul died,
and his three sons, and all ^ his house
died together.
7 And when all the men of Israel that
wei-e in the valley saw that "^they fled,
and that Saul and his sons were dead,
then they forsook their cities, and fled :
and the Philistines came and dwelt in
8 them. And it came to pass on the mor-
row, when the Philistines came to strip
the slain, that they found Saul and his
9 sons fallen in mount Gilboa. And when
they had stripped him, they took his
head, and his annour, and sent into the
land of the Philistines round about, to
carry tidings "^unto their idols, and to
10 the people. And they put his armour
in the house of their gods, and fastened
It 'his head in the temple of Dagon. And
when all Jabesh-gilead heard all that
12 the Philistines had done to Saul, they
arose, all the valiant men, and took
away the body of Saul, and the bodies
of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh,
and buried their bones under 'the oak
13 in Jabesh, and fasted seven days. So
Saul died for his transgression which he
'committed against the Lord, even sa-

gainst the word of the Lord, which he
kept not, and also for asking counsel of
^one that had a famihar spirit, to inquire
of if: and 'inquired not of the Lord: 14
therefore he slew him, and ''turned
the kingdom unto David the son of
' Jesse.
Then ^all Israel gathered themselves
to David unto Hebron, saying, Behold,
we afe thy bone and thy flesh. And 2
moreover 'in time past, even when .Saul
was king, thou 7C'ast he that leddest out
and broughtest in Israel: and the Lord
thy God said unto thee. Thou shalt
"feed my people Israel, and thou shalt
be ruler over my people Israel. There- 3
fore came all the elders of Israel to the
king to Hebron ; and David made a
covenant with them in Hebron before
the Lord; and they anointed David
king over Israel, ^according to the word
of the Lord 'by Samuel.
And David and all Israel went to 4
Jerusalem, which is Jehu's; where the
Jebusites laerc, the inhabitants of the
land. And the inhabitants of Jebus 5
said to David, Thou shalt not come
hither. Nevertheless David took the
'^castle of Zion, which is the city of
David. And David said, Whosoever 6
smiteth the Jebusites first ^ shall be
'chief and captain. So Joab the son
of Zeruiah went first up, and was chief.
And David dwelt in the castle; there- 7
fore they called 'it the city of David.
And he built the city round about, even 8
from Millo round about: and Joab 're-
paired the rest of the city. So David 9
'waxed greater and greater : for the
Lord of hosts 2iias with him.
^ These also are the chief of the 10
mighty men whom David had, who
" strengthened themselves with him in
his kingdom, and with all Israel, to
make him king, ^according to the word
of the Lord concerning Israel. And n
this is the number of tlie mighty men
whom David had; sjashobeam, "a Hach-
monite, ''the chief of the captains: he
lift up his spear against three hundred
slain l>y him at one time. And after 12
him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the
Ahohite, who was one of the three
mighties. He was with David at ' Pas- 13
dammim, 'and there the Philistines were
gathered together to battle, where was a
parcel of ground full of barley; and the
people fled from before the Philistines.
And 'they "set themselves in the midst 14
of that parcel, and delivered it, and
slew the Philistines ; and the Lord
15 saved them by a great " deliverance. Now
"three of the thirty captains went down
to the rock to David, into the cave of
Adullam; and the host of the Pliilistines
encamped Jin the valley of Rephaim.
16 And David was then in the hold, and
the Philistines' ''garrison was then at
17 Beth-lehem. And David longed, and
said. Oh that one would give me drink
of the water of the well of Beth-lehem,
18 that is at the gate. And the three brake
through the host of the Philistines, and
drew water out of the well of Beth-le-
hem, that was by the gate, and took //,
and brought /'/ to David: but David
would not drink of it, but poured it out
19 to the Lord, and said. My God forbid
it me, that /should do this thing: shall
I drink the blood of these men 'that
have put their lives in jeopardy? for
with the jeopardy of their lives they
brought it. Therefore he would not
drink it. These things did these three
20 mightiest. And Abishai the brother of
Joab, he was chief of 'the three: for
lifting up his spear against three hun-
dred, he slew them, and had a name
21 among the three. Of the three, he was
more honourable than the two; for he
was their captain: howbeit he attained
:2 not to the frst three. Benaiah the son
of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of
Kabzeel, 'who had done many acts;
he slew two lionlike men of Moab: also
he went down and slew a lion in a pit
23 in a snowy day. And he slew an Egyp-
tian, 'a man of great stature, five cubits
high; and in the Egyptian's hand was
a spear '"like a weaver's beam; and he
went down to him with a staff', and
pluckt the spear out of the Egyptian's
hand, and slew him with his own spear.
=4 These things did Benaiah the son of
Jehoiada, and had the name among
=5 'the three mighties. Behold, "he was
honourable among the thirty, but attain-
ed not to ihefrst three : and David set
him over his guard.

Now'' these (7rrthey that came to David
to Ziklag, 'while he yet kept himself close
because of Saul the son of Kish : and they
KWif among the mighty otot, helpers of the
war. They jocre •'armed with bows, and 2
could use both the right hand and '^the
left in //i/r/i/ig- stones and s/wofiiig mxows
out of a bow, even of Saul's brethren of
Benjamin. The chief was Ahiezer, then 3
Joash, the .sons of "Shemaah the ''Gi-
beathite; and Jeziel, and Pelet, the sons
of Azmaveth ; and Berachah, and Jehu
the ■= Antothite, and Ismaiah the fGi- 4

and Zebadiah, the sons of Jerohani of

separated themselves unto David into
the hold to the wilderness men of
might, and men ' of war Jit for the
battle, that could handle shield and
■"buckler, whose faces 7iiere like the faces
of lions, and ^were *as swift as the roes
upon the mountains : Ezer the first, 9
Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,
10 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the
11 fifth, .'Vttai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,
12 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,
13 Jeremiah the tenth, Machbanai the ele-
14 venth. These were of the sons of Gad,
captains of the host: "one of the least
was over an hundred, and the greatest
15 over a thousand. These are they that
went over Jordan in 'the first month,
when it had 'overflown all his banks;
and they put to flight all t/iem of the
valleys, boi/i toward the east, and to-
16 ward the west. And there came of the
children of Benjamin and Judah to the
17 hold unto David. And David went out
'to meet them, and "'answered and said
unto them. If ye be come peaceably
unto me to help me, mine heart shall
'be knit unto you: but li ye be come to
betray me to mine enemies, seeing there
is no 'wrong in mine hands, the God of
our fathers look thereon, and "rebuke //.
18 Then 'the spirit came upon °Amasai,
who was chief of the captains, and he
said.
Thine are 7C'e, David,
And on thy side, thou son of Jesse :
p Peace, peace be unto thee.
And peace be to thine helpers;
For thy God helpcth thee.
Then David received them, and made
19 them captains of the band. And there
fell some of Manasseh to David, iwhen
he came with the Philistines against
Saul to battle: but thev helped them
not : for the lords of the Philistines upon
advisement sent him away, saying. He
will fall to his master Saul ' to the
■iajeopardy of our heads. As he went to
Ziklag, there fell to him of Manasseh,
Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and
Michael, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and
Zilthai, captains of the thousands that
21 were of Manasseh. And they helped
David 'against ■'the band of the rovers:
for they were all mighty men of valour,
22 and were captains in the host. For
at that time day by day there came to
David to help him, until it was a great
host, like the host *of God.
23 And these are the numbers of the
'bands 'that were ready armed to the
war, and "came to David to Hebron,
to ''turn the kingdom of Saul to him,
y according to the word of the Lord.
24 The children of Judah that bare shield
and J spear were .six thousand and eight
25 hundred, ready "armed to the war. Of
I Or, one
that was

dred, mighty vien of valour, 'famous
throughout the house of their fathers.
And of the half tribe of Manasseh 31
eighteen thousand, which '=were express-
ed by name, to come and make David
king. And of the children of Issachar, 3..
which were men "^that had understand-
ing of the times, to know what Israel
ought to do; the heads of them we/v
two hundred; and all their brethren
were at their commandment. Of Zebu- 33

fifty thousand, which could " keep rank :
they were 'not of double heart. And of 34
Naphtali a thousand captains, and with
them with shield and spear thirty and
seven thousand. And of the Danites 35
expert in war twenty and eight thou-

other side of Jordan, of the Reubenites,
and the Gadites, and of the half tribe of

ments of war for the battle, an hundred
and twenty thousand. All these men 3R
of war, that could keep rank, came
fwith a perfect heart to Hebron, to
make David king over all Israel: and
all the rest also of Israel were of one
heart to make David king. And there 39
they were with David three days, eating
and drinking : for their brethren had
prepared for them. Moreover they that 1,0
were nigh them, even unto Issachar and
Zebulun and Naphtali, brought bread on
asses, and on scamels, and on mules,
and on oxen, and "meat, meal, •'cakes
of figs, and 'bunches of raisins, and
wine, and oil, and oxen, and sheep
abundantly: for there 7vas ^oy in Israel.
And David consulted with the captains
of thousands and hundreds, aiid with
2 every leader. And David said unto all
the congregation of Israel, If // seem
good unto you, and that it be of the
Lord our God, 'let us send abroad
unto our brethren every where, that are
^left in all the land of Israel, and with
them also to the priests and Levites
ivhich are 'in their cities and suburbs,
that they may gather themselves unto
3 us : and let us ' bring again the ark of
our God to us: for ''we inquired not at
4 it in the days of Saul. And all the con-
gregation said that they would do so:
for the thing was right in the eyes of all
5 the people. So "^ David gathered all Is-
rael together, from '•Shihor of Egypt
even =unto the entering of Hemath, to
bring the ark of God from fKirjath-
ejearim. eAnd David went up, and all
Israel, to ''Baalah, that is, to Kirjath-
jearim, which /'£-/(W«<y/ to Judah, to bring
up thence the ark of God the Lord,
that dwelleth betioeen the chenibims,
7 whose 'name is called '^on it. And they
'carried the ark of God in a new cart
out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza
sand Ahio drave the cart. And David
and all Israel played before God with
all their might, and with 'singing, and
with ''harps, and with ■'psalteries, and
with timbrels, and with ^ cymbals,
9 and with trumpets. And when they
came unto the threshingfloor of "Chi-
don, Uzza put forth his hand to hold
10 the ark; for the oxen 'stumbled. And
the anger of the Lord was kindled
against Uzza, and he smote him, be-
cause he put his hand to the ark: and
11 there he 'died before God. And David
was displeased, because the Lord had
made a breach upon Uzza: wherefore
that place is called 'Perez-uzza to this
12 day. And David was afraid of God
that day, saying, How shall I bring the
13 ark of God home to me? So David
'brought not the ark home to himself to
the city of David, but carried it aside
into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
14 And the ark of God remained with the
family of Obed-edom in his house three
months. And the Lord ""blessed the
house of Obed-edom, and all that he had.
Now ^ Hiram king of Tyre sent mes-
sengers to David, and timber of cedars,
with masons and carpenters, to build
shim a house. And David perceived
that the Lord had confirmed him king
over Israel, for his kingdom was lift
up on high, because of his people Israel.

And David took *raoe wives at Jeru- 3

daughters. Now ''these are the names 4
of his children which he had in Jeru-
salem; Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan,
and Solomon, and Ibhar, and Ehshua, 5
and Elpalet, and Nogah, and Nepheg, 6

x\nd when the Philistines heard that 8
David was anointed king over all Israel,
all the Philistines went up to seek Da-
vid. And David heard of it, and '^went
out against them. And the Philistines 9
came and ^ spread themselves in the
valley of Rephaim. And David in- 10
quired of God, saying. Shall I go up
against the Philistines? and wilt thou
deliver them into mine hand ? And the
Lord said unto him, Go up; for I will
deliver them into thine hand. So theyn
came up to Baal-perazim ; and David
smote them there. Then David said,
God hath broken in upon mine enemies
by mine hand like the breaking forth
of waters: therefore they called the name
of that place " Baal-perazim. And when 12
they had left their gods there, David
gave a commandment, and they were
= burnt with fire. And the Philistines 13
yet again spread themselves abroad in
the valley. Therefore David inquired 14
again of God; and God said unto him.
Go not up after them; turn away from
them, and come upon them over against
the mulberry trees. And it shall be, 15
when thou shalt hear a sound of going
in the tops of the mulberry trees, that
then thou shalt go out to battle : for
God is gone forth before thee to smite
the host of the Philistines. David there- 16
fore did as God commanded him: and
they smote the host of the Philistines
from 'Gibeon even to Gazer. And 'the 17
fame of David went out into all lands;
and the Lord brought sthe fear of him
upon all nations.
And David made him houses in the
city of David, and prepared a place for
the ark of God, and ^pitched for it a
tent. Then David said, 'None ought 2
to carry the ''ark of God but the Le-
vites: for them hath the Lord chosen
to carry the ark of God, and to minister
unto him for ever. And David "^ga- 3
thered all Israel together to Jerusalem,
to bring up the ark of the Lord unto
''his place, which he had prepared for it.
And David assembled the children of 4
i Aaron, and the Levites : of the sons of
^Kohath; Uriel the chief, and his "bre-
ithren an hundred and twenty: of the
sons of = Merari ; Asaiah the chief, and
his brethren two hundred and twenty:
r of the sons of =Gershom; Joel the chief,
and his brethren an hundred and thirty:
! of the sons of f Elizaphan ; Shemaiah
the chief, and his brethren two hun-
)dred: of the sons of s Hebron; Eliel
the chief, and his brethren fourscore :
3 of the sons of sUzziel; Amminadab the
chief, and his brethren an hundred and
twelve.
I And David called for ""Zadok and
'Abiathar the priests, and for the Le-
vites, for J Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, She-
zmaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab, and
said unto them. Ye are the chief of the
fathers of the Levites : " sanctify your-
selves, both ye and your brethren, that
you may bring up the ark of the Lord
God of Israel unto ^the place that I have
3 prepared for it. For ''because ye did it
not at the first, the Lord our God
' made a breach upon us, for that we
sought him not after the due order.
4 So the priests and the Levites sanctified
themselves to bring up the ark of the
5 Lord God of Israel. And the children
of the Levites bare the ark of God upon
their shoulders with the "staves there-
on, as "Moses commanded according to
6 the word of the Lord. And David
spake to the chief of the Levites to
appoint their brethren /(' he the singers
with instnnnents of musick, "psalteries
and "harps and "cymbals, sounding, by
7 lifting up the voice with joy. So the
Levites appointed PHeman the son of
Joel; and of his brethren, 1 Asaph the
son of Berechiah; and of the sons of
Merari their brethren, "■ Ethan the son
8 of Kushaiah ; and with them their bre-
thren of the second degree, Zechariah,

excel. And Chenaniah, chief of the Le- 22
vites, ' was for ' song : he instructed
about the 'song, because he was skilful.
And Berechiah and Elkanah iccre door- 23
keepers for the ark. And Shebaniah, 24
and Jehoshaphat, and Nethaneel, and
Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah,
and Eliezer, the priests, did blow y\vith
the trumpets before the ark of God:
and Obed-edom and Jehiah 7C'etr door-
keepers for the ark.
.So ^David, and the elders of Israel, 25
and the captains over thousands, went
to bring up the ark of the covenant of
the Lord out of the house of Obed-
edom with joy. And it came to pass, 26
when God helped the Levites that bare
the ark of the covenant of the Lord,
that they offered ^ seven bullocks and
seven rams. And David toas clothed 27
with a robe of ''fine linen, and all the
Levites that bare the ark, and the
singers, and Chenaniah the master of
the 'song jait/i the singers: David also
had upon him an ephod of linen.
Thus all Israel brought up the ark of28
the covenant of the Lord with shouting,
and with sound of the "= cornet, and with
•^trumpets, and with <= cymbals, making
a noise with ' psalteries and "= harps.
'And it came to pass, as the ark of 29
the covenant of the Lord came to the
city of David, that Michal the daughter
of Saul looking out at a window saw
king David dancing and playing: and
she despised him in her heart. So they
brought the ark of God, and set it in
the midst of the tent that David had
pitched for it: and they offered burnt
sacrifices and peace offerings before God.
And when David had made an end of 2
offering the burnt offerings and the
peace offerings, he blessed the people
in the name of the Lord. And he 3
dealt to every one of Israel, both man
and woman, to every orfe a loaf of
bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a
flagon pf 7vinc. And he appointed cer- 4
tain of the Levites to minister before
the ark of the Lord, and to ^record,
and to thank and jiraise the Lord God
of Israel: '"Asajih the chief, and "^next 5
to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemira-
moth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and
Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-edom :
and Jeiel * with '' psalteries and with
''harps; but Asaph made a sound with
^ cymbals ; Benaiah also and Jahaziel 6
the priests with '^trumpets continually
before the ark of the covenant of
God.
7 Then on that day David delivered
f first this psalm to thank the Lord into
the hand of ''Asaph and his brethren.
8 fc'Give thanks unto the Lord, ''call
upon his name,
'Make known his deeds among the
people.
9 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him,
•^Talk you of all his wondrous works.
10 Glory ye in his holy name :~
Let the heart of them rejoice that
seek the Lord.
11 .Seek the Lord and his strength,
'Seek his face continually.
12 "'Remember his marvellous works that
he hath done.
His "wonders, and the judgments of
his mouth ;
13 O ye seed of Israel his servant,
Ye children of Jacob, his chosen
cues. ■
14 He is the Lord our God;
His "judgments are in all the earth.
15 Be ye mindful always of his cove-
nant; -
The word 7i'hich he commanded to a
thousand generations;
16 Even of the eoimant p which he made
with Abraham,
And of his Poath unto Isaac;
17 And hath confirmed the same to Ja-
cob for a law.
And to Israel for an everlasting cove-
nant,
is Saying, lUnto thee will I give the
land of Canaan,
'The lot of your inheritance;
19 When ye were but 'few.
Even 'a few, and ^strangers in it.
20 And when they went from nation to
nation,
.^nd from one kingdom to another
people ;
21 'He suffered no man to do them
wrong :
Yea, he "reproved kings for their
sakes,
32 Saying, Touch not mine anointed,
And do my ^prophets no harm.
=3 >Sing unto the Lord, all the earth;
Shew forth from day to day his sal-
vation.

continually, as "^ every day's work re-
quired: and Obed-edom with their bre- 38
thren, threescore and eight; Obed-edom
also the son of Jeduthun and "^Hosah
to be porters: and ^Zadok the priest, 39
and his brethren the priests, before the
tabernacle of the Lord 'in the high
place that was at Gibeon, to offer 40
burnt offerings unto the Lord upon
"the altar of the burnt offering "con-
tinually 'morning and evening, and to
do according to all that is written in the
law of the Lord, which he commanded
41 Israel ; and with them " Heman and

parted every man to his house: and
David returned to bless his house.
Now "it came to pass, as David sat
in his house, that David said to Nathan
the prophet, Lo, I dwell in a house of
cedars, but the ark of the covenant of
the Lord remaincth under curtains.
2 Then Nathan said unto David, Do all
that is in thine heart ; for God is with
3 thee. .\nd it came to pass the same
night, that the word of God came to
4 Nathan, saying, tio and tell David my
servant. Thus .soith the Lord, Thou
shalt not build me a house to dwell in :
5 for I have not dwelt in a house since
the day that I brought up Israel unto
this day; but 'have gone from tent to
tent, and from one tabernacle to another.
6 Wheresoever I have walked with all
Israel, spake I a word to any of the
''judges of Israel, whom I commanded
to feed my people, saying. Why have ye
7 not built me a house of cedars? Now
therefore thus shalt thou .say unto my
ser\'ant David, Thus saith the Lord of
hosts, I took thee from tlie sheepcote,
eren ' from following the sheep, that thou
shouldest be ruler over my people Is-
8 rael : and I have been with thee whi-
thersoever thou hast walked, and have
cut off all thine enemies from before
thee, and have made thee a name like
the name of the great men that are in
9 the earth. .Also I will ordain a place
for my people Israel, and will plant
them, and they shall dwell in their
place, and shall be moved no more ;
neither shall the children of wickedness
•^waste them any more, as at the begin-
loning, and since the time that I com-
manded judges to he over my people
Israel. Moreover I will subdue all thine
enemies. Furthermore I tell thee that
II the Lord will build thee a house. And

it shall come to jiass, when thy days be
expired that thou must go to be with
thy fathers, that I will raise up thy
seed after thee, which shall be of thy
sons; and I will stablish his kingdom.
He shall build me a house, and I will 12
stablish his throne for ever. <•! will 13
be his father, and he shall be my
son: and I will not take my mercy
away from him, as I took it from ^him
that was before thee: but I will settle 14
him in mine house and in my kingdom
for ever: and his throne shall be es-
tablished for evermore. According to 15
all these words, and according to all
this vision, so did Nathan speak unto
David.
And David the king came and sat 16
before the Lord, and said, Who am I,
O Lord God, and what is mine house,
that thou hast brought me hitherto?
And fyd this was a small thing in thine 17
eyes, O God ; for thou hast ^also spoken
of thy servant's house for a great while
to come, and 8 hast regarded me ac-
cording to the •> estate of a man of high
degree, O Lord God. What can David 18
speak more to thee for the honour of
thy servant? for thou knowest thy serv-
ant. O Lord, for thy 'servant's sake, 19
and according to thine own heart, hast
thou done all this greatness, in making
known all these 'great things. O Lord, 20
there is none like thee, neither is there
any God besides thea, according to all
that we have heard with our ears. And 21
what one nation in the earth is like thy
people Israel, whom God went to re-
deem to be his own people, to make
thee a name of greatness and terrible-
ness, by driving out nations from before
thy people, whom thou hast redeemed
out of Egypt? For thy people Israel 22
didst thou make thine own people for
ever; and thou, Lord, becamest their
God. Therefore now. Lord, let the 23
thing that thou hast spoken concerning
thy servant and concerning his house
be established for ever, and do as thou
hast said. Let it even be established, 24
that thy name may be magnified for
ever, saying, The Lord of hosts is the
God of Israel, even a God to Israel:
and let the house of David thy servant
be established before thee. For thou, 25
O my God, 'hast told thy servant that
thou wilt build him a house: therefore
thy servant hath found ^in his heart to
pray before thee. And now, Lord, 26
thou art God, and hast promised this
27 goodness unto thy servant : now there-
fore 'let it please thee to bless the
house of thy servant, that // may be
before thee for ever: for thou blessest,
O Lord, and it shall be blessed for
ever.
Now "after this it came to pass, that
David smote the Philistines, and sub-
dued them, and took ''Gath and her
<: towns out of the hand of the Phi-
slistines. And he smote Moab; and the
Moabites became David's servants, and
3 brought gifts. And David smote 'Ha-
darezer king of Zobah unto '^Hamath,
as he went to stablish his dominion by
4 the river Euphrates. And David took
from him a thousand chariots, and 'seven
thousand horsemen, and twenty thou-
sand footmen: David also houghed all
the chariot horses, but reserved of them
5 an hundred chariots. And when the
Syrians of ' Damascus came to help
Hadarezer king of Zobah, David slew
of the Syrians two and twenty thousand
6 men. Then David put 'garrisms in
Syria-damascus ; and the Syrians became
David's servants, and brought gifts.
Tlius the Lord preserved David whi-
7 thersoever he went. And David took
the shields of gold that were on the
servants of Hadarezer, and brought them
8 A? Jerusalem. Likewise from 'Tibhath,
and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer,
brought David very much brass, where-
with f Solomon made the brasen sea,
and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.
9 Now when ' Tou king of '' Hamath
heard how David had smitten all the
10 host of Hadarezer king of Zobah; he
sent 'Hadoram his son to king David,
"to inquire of his welfare, and 'to con-
gratulate him, because he had fought
against Hadarezer, and smitten him ; (for
Hadarezer ' had war with Tou ;) and
^icith him all manner of vessels of gold
11 and silver and brass. Them also king
David dedicated unto the Lord, with
the silver and the gold that he brought
from all these nations; from Edom, and
from Moab, and from the children of
Ammon, and from the Philistines, and
12 from Amalek. Moreover 'Abishai the
son of Zeruiah slew of the Edomites
in the valley of salt eighteen thousand.
13 And he put garrisons in Edom; and all
the Edomites became David's servants.
Thus the Lord preserved David whi-
thersoever he went.
1 Or, it hath
pleased thee.

t Heb. the
face oj the
battle was.
So David reigned over all Israel, and 14
executed judgment and justice among
all his people. And Joab the son of 15
Zeruiah 7oas over the host ; and Je-
hoshaphat the son of Ahilud, 'recorder.
And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and 16
'Abimelech the son of Abiathar, Kiere
the priests; and 'Shavsha 7cias scribe;
and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada 7C'as 17
over the Cherethites and the Pelethites;
and the sons of David jcere chief ' about
the king.
Now *it came to pass after this, that
Nahash the king of the children of Am-
mon died, and his son reigned in his
stead. And David said, I will shew 2
kindness unto Hanun the son of Na-
hash, because his father shewed kind-
ness to me. And David sent mes-
sengers to comfort him concerning his
fether. So the servants of David came
into the land of the children of Ammon
to Hanun, to comfort him. But the 3
princes of the children of Ammon said
to Hanun, *Thinkest thou that David
doth honour thy father, that he hath
sent comforters unto thee? are not his
servants come unto thee for to search,
and to overthrow, and to spy out the
land ? Wherefore Hanun took David's 4
servants, and shaved them, and cut off
their garments in the midst hard by
^/leir buttocks, and sent them away.
Then there went ceiiain, and told David 5
how the men were served. And he sent
to meet them : for the men were greatly
ashamed. And the king said. Tarry at
Jericho until your beards be grown, and
then return. And when the children of 6
Annnon saw that they had made them-
selves 'odious to David, Hanun and the
children of Ammon sent a thousand
talents of silver to hire them chariots
and horsemen out of ^ Mesopotamia,
and out of Syria-'^maachah, and out of
Zobah. So they hired thirty and two ^
thousand chariots, and the king of
"=Maachah and his people; who came
and pitched before "^Medeba. And the
children of Ammon gathered themselves
together from their cities, and came to
battle. And when David heard of it, he 8
sent Joab, and all the host of the
mighty men. And the children of Am- 9
mon came out, and put the battle in
array before the gate of the city: and
the kings that were come were by them-
selves in the field. Now when Joab lo
saw that *the battle was set against him

before and behind, he chose out of all
the "choice of Israel, and put them in ' '-'■■•
11 array agamst the Syrians. And the rest Comp.
of the people he delivered unto
hand of 'Abishai his brother, and they He'b.

12 dren of Ammon. And he said. If the ^"- 's-
Syrians be too strong for me, then thou 2 Sam. 10.
shalt help me : but if the children of "°-
Ammon be too strong for thee, then-
13 1 will help thee. Be of good courage,
and let us behave ourselves valiantly
for our people, and for the cities of our
God : and let the Lord do that which
His good in his sight. So Joab and the
people that 7C'ere with him drew nigh
before the Syrians unto the battle; and
15 they fled before him. And when the
children of Ammon saw that the Syrians
were fled, they likewise fled before Abi-
shai his brother, and entered into the
city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.
16 And when the Syrians saw that they
were put to the worse before Israel,
they sent messengers, and drew forth
the Svrians that -ioere beyond the 'river: iThatU,
and "Shophach the captain of the host comp''""'
J7 of Hadarezer 7aent before them
it was told David; and he gathered all
Israel, and passed over Jordan, and ^^
came upon them, and set the battle in
array against them. So when David
had put the battle in array against the
18 Syrians, they fought with him. But the
Syrians fled before Israel ; and David
slew of the Syrians seven « thousand
men 7c<hiik fought in chariots, and forty
thousand = footmen, and killed Shophach
19 the captain of the host. And when the
servants of Hadarezer saw that they
were put to the worse before Israel,
they made peace with David, and be-
came his serv^ants: neither would the
Syrians help the children of Ammon
any more.
And ^'it came to pass, that 'after the
year was expired, at the time that kings
go out to battle, Joab led forth the power
of the army, and wasted the country of f Heb. at
the children of Ammon; and came and the reium
besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at " '"'"^'
Jerusalem. And ''Joab smote Rabbah, ^ 2 Sam. 12.

people that 7vcre in it, and ''cut t/iem
with saws, and with harrows of iron,
and with axes. Even so dealt David
with all the cities of the children of Am-
nion. And David and all the people
returned to Jerusalem.
"^And it came to ]iass after this, that .
there 'arose war at f'Gezer with the Phi-
listines; at which time Sibbechai the
Hushathite slew 'Sippai, l/iaf 7vas of the
children of 'the giant: and they were
subdued. And there was war again with ;
the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of
'Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath
the Gittite, whose spear staff 7vas like a
weaver's beam. And yet again there (
was war at Gath, where was 'a man of
great stature, whose fingers and toes
were four and twenty, si.x on each hand,
and six on each foot: and he also was
'the son of the giant. But when he 'de-
fied Israel, Jonathan the son of 'Shimea
David's brother slew him. These were
born unto the giant in Gath; and they
fell by the hand of David, and by the
hand of his servants.
And ^Satan stood up against Israel,
and ''provoked David to number Israel.
And David said to Joab and to the
rulers of the people, Go, number Israel
from Beer-sheba even to Dan ; and bring
the number of them to me, that I may
know it. And Joab answered, The
Lord make his people an hundred times
so many moe as they be: but, my lord
the king, are they not all my lord's ser-
vants? why then doth my lord require
this thiiigl why will he be "^a cause of
trespass to Israel? Nevertheless the
king's word prevailed against Joab.
Wherefore Joab departed, and went
throughout all Israel, and came to Jeru-
salem. And Joab gave the sum of the
number of the people unto David. And
all they (/Israel were ''a thousand thou-
sand and an hundred thousand men
that drew sword: and Judah 7vas ''four
hundred threescore and ten thousand
men that drew sword. ^But Levi and
Benjamin counted he not among them:
for the king's word was abominable to
Joab.
'And God was displeased with this
thing; therefore he smote Israel. And
David said unto God, I have sinned
greatly, because I have done this thing:
but now, I beseech thee, do away tlie
iniquity of thy servant; for I have done
very foolishly. And the Lord spake
10 unto Gad, David's seer, saying. Go and
tell David, saying. Thus .saith the L(.>rd,
I 'offer thee three things: choose thee
one of them, that I may do // unto thee.
11 So Gad came to David, and said unto
him. Thus saith the Lord, 'Choose thee
ij either fthree years' famine; or three
months to be destroyed before thy foes,
while that the sword of thine enemies
overtaketh thee ; or else three days the
sword of the Lord, even the pestilence,
in the land, and the angel of the Lord
destroying throughout all the coasts of
Israel. Now therefore advise thyself
what word I shall bring again to him
13 that sent me. And David said unto
Gad, I am in a great strait: let me fall
now into the hand of the Lord; for very
'great are his mercies: but let me not
14 fall into the hand of man. So the Lord
sent pestilence upon Israel: and there
fell of Israel seventy thousand men.
■:5 And God sent an angel unto Jerusa-
lem to destroy it : and as he was destroy-
ing, the Lord beheld, and he repented
him of the evil, and said to the angel
that destroyed, // is enough, stay now
thine hand. And the angel of the Lord
stood by the threshingfloor of 'Oman
16 the Jebusite. And David lift up his
eyes, and saw the angel of the Lord
stand between the earth and the heaven,
having a drawn sword in his hand stretch-
ed out over Jerusalem. Then David and
the elders of Israel, who 7i.icre ^clothed
17 in sackcloth, fell upon their faces. And
David said unto God, Is it not I that
commanded the people to be numbered?
even I // is that have sinned and done
evil indeed ; but as for these sheep, what
have they done? let thine hand, I pray
thee, O Lord my God, be on me, and
on my father's house; but not on thy
people, that they should be plagued.
18 Then ''the angel of the Lord commanded
Gad to say to David, that David should
go up, and set up an altar unto the
Lord in the threshingfloor of Oman the
19 Jebusite. And David went up at the
saying of Gad, which he spake in the
20 name of the Lord. 'And Oman turned
back, and saw the angel; and his four

of this threshingfloor, that I may build
an altar therein unto the Lord: thou
shalt 'grant it me for the full price: that
the plague may be stayed from the peo-
ple. And Oman said unto David, Take 23
it to thee, and let my lord the king do
that which is good in his eyes: lo, I give
iJu'c the o.xen also for burnt offerings,
and the threshing instruments for wood,
and the 'wheat for the meat offering; I
give // all. And king Uavid said to Or- 24
nan. Nay; but I will verily buy it for the
full price : for I will not take that which
is thine for the Lord, nor offer burnt
otferings without cost. So David gave 25
to Oman for the place ^six hundred she-
kels of gold by weight. And David built 26
there an altar unto the Lord, and offer-
ed burnt offerings and peace offerings,
and called upon the Lord; and ''he an-
swered him from heaven by fire upon
the altar of burnt offering. And the 37
Lord commanded the angel; and he
]mt up his sword again into the sheath
thereof
At that lime when David saw that the 28
Lord had answered him in the thresh-
ingfloor of Oman the Jebusite, then he
sacrificed there. 'For the tabernacle of 29
the Lord, which Moses made in the wil-
derness, and the altar of the burnt offer-
ing, 'ivcrc at that season in the high place
at Gibeon. But David could not go 30
before it "'to inquire of God: for he was
"afraid because of the sword of the angel
of the Lord. Then David said, ^This
is the house of the Lord God, and this
is the altar of the burnt offering for Is-
rael. And David commanded to gather 2
together ''the strangers that were in the
land of Israel; and he set masons to
hew "^wrought stones to build the house
of God. And David prepared iron in 3
abundance for the nails for the doors of
the gates, and for the "joinings; and brass
in abundance ■'without weight; also ce- 4
dar trees in abundance: for '^the Zido-
nians and they of Tyre brought much
cedar wood to David. And David said, 5
Solomon my son is fyoung and tender,
and the house that is to be builded for
the Lord must be exceeding magnifical,
of fame and of glory throughout all
countries : I will there/ore now make pre-
paration for it. So David prepared a-
bundantly before his death.
Then he called for Solomon his son, 6
and charged him to build a house for
the Lord God of Israel. And David 7

of the sons of Ithamar: and thus were
they divided. Among the sons of Elea-
zar there were sixteen chief men '^of the
house of their fathers, and eight among
the sons of Ithamar "laccording to the

divided by ''lot, one sort with another;
for the governors of the sanctuarv, and
governors qf the house of God, were of
the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of
Ithamar. And Shemaiah the son of 6
Nethaneel the scribe, one of the Levites,
wrote them before the king, and the
princes, and '^Zadok the priest, and = Ahi-
melech the son of ' Abiathar, and before
the chief of the fathers of the priests and
Levites: one 'principal household being
taken for Eleazar, and one taken for Itha-

the fifth to 'Malchijah, the sixth to Mija- 9
min, the seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth 10

father, as the Lord God of Israel had
commanded him.

Mushi: the sons of Jaaziah; Beno. The 27
sons of Merari by Jaaziah; Beno, and
Shoham, and Zaccur, and Ibri. Of Mahli 28
came Eleazar, Pwho had no sons. Con- 29
cerning "iKish: the son of Kish was
sojerahmeel. ■'The sons also of Mushi;
^Mahli, and Eder, and Jerimoth. These
li'ere the sons of the Levites after the
31 house of their fathers. These likewise
'cast lots over against their brethren the
sons of Aaron "in the presence of David
the king, and '=Zadok, and "^Ahimelech,
and the chief of the fathers of the priests
and Levites, even the principal fathers
over agamst their younger brethren.
Moreover David and *the captains of
the host separated to the service of the
sons of ''Asaph, and of '^Heman, and of
''Jeduthun, ''who should prophesy with
fharps, with fpsalteries, and with fcym-
bals: and the number of the workmen
2 according to their service was : of the sons
of ''Asaph; f' Zaccur, and Joseph, and
Nethaniah, and 'Asarelah, the sons of
Asaph under the hands of Asaph, "which
prophesied 'according to the order of
3 the king. Of ''Jeduthun: the sons of
Jeduthun; Gedaliah, and "Zeri, and Je-
shaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, 'six,
under the hands of their fiither Jedu-

s Mallothi, Hothir, and Mahazioth : all
these li^ere the sons of Heman the king's
sseer in the 'words of God, to lift up
the horn. And God gave to Heman
6 fourteen sons and three daughters. All
these were under the hands of their father
for song in the house of the Lord, with
fcymbals, fpsalteries, and fharps, for the
service of the house of God, 'according
to the king's order to ''Asaph, ''Jeduthun,
7 and ''Heman. So the number of them,
with their brethren that were instructed
in the songs of the Lord, even all that
were ''cunning, was 'two hundred four-
score and eight.
8 And they cast lots, ward against
'ward, as well the small as the great,
9 the ''teacher as the scholar. Now ''the
first lot came forth for Asaph to 'Jo-

them from twenty years old and under :
because the Lord had said he would
increase Israel "'like to the stars of the
24 heavens. Joab the son of Zeruiah be-
gan to number, but he "finished not,
because "there fell wTath for it against
Israel; neither 'was the number put in

captains over the hundreds, and "* the
stewards over all the substance and
'possession of the king, 'and of his
sons, with the 'officers, and zvith ^the
mighty men, and with all the valiant
men, unto Jerusalem. Then David the
king stood up upon his feet, and said,
Hear me, my brethren, and my people :
As for me, fl had in mine heart to
build a house of rest for the ark of
the covenant of the Lord, and for sthe
footstool of our God, and had made
ready for the building: but God said
unto me, ''Thou shalt not build a house
for my name, because thou hast been a
man of war, and hast shed ' blood.
Howbeit the Lord God of Israel 'chose
me before all the house of my father to
be king over Israel Jfor ever: for he
hath chosen 'Judah to be the ruler; and
of the house of Judah, ''the house of
my father; and 'among the sons of my
father he liked me to make mc king
over all Israel: ""and of all my sons, ;
(for the Lord hath given me many
sons,) "he hath chosen Solomon my son
to sit upon the throne of °the kingdom
6 of the Lord over Israel. And he said
unto me, PSolomon thy son, he shall
build my house and my courts; for I
have chosen him to be my son, and I
7 will be his father. Moreover I will
establish his kingdom -ifor ever, ''if he
be 'constant to do my commandments
and' my judgments, as at this day.
8 Now therefore in the sight of all Israel
the congregation of the Lord, and in
the audience of our God, keep and
seek for all the commandments of the
Lord your God: that ye may possess
this good land, and leave // for an in-
heritance for your children after you
gJfor ever. And thou, Solomon my son,
''know thou the God of thy father, and
serve him with ^a perfect heart and
with a willing mind : for ' the Lord
searcheth ail hearts, and understandeth
"all the imaginations of the thoughts:
if thou seek him, he will be found of
thee; but ''if thou forsake him, he will
10 "cast thee off for ever. Take heed
now; for the Lord hath chosen thee
to build a house for the sanctuary: """be
strong, and do it.
II Then David gave to Solomon his son
•''the pattern of >'the porch, and of the
houses thereof, and of the treasuries
thereof, and of the ^ upper chambers
thereof, and of the inner parlours there-
of, and of the place of ^the mercy seat,

the spirit, of the courts of the house

And behold, ^the courses of the priests 21
and the Levites, even they shall be with
thee for all the service of the house of
God : and there shall be with thee for
all manner of workmanship every will-
ing y skilful man, for any manner of
service : also the princes and all the
people ivill be wholly at thy command-
ment.
Furthennore David the king said un-
to all the congregation, Solomon my
son, whom alone (iod hath chosen, is
yet »young and tender, and the work
is great : for the '' palace is not for
man, but for the Lord God. Now I 2
have prepared with all my might for
the house of my God the gold for
things to be made of gold, and the silver
for things of silver, and the brass for
things of brass, the iron for things of
iron, and wood for things of wood ;
•^ony.x stones, and stones ''to be set, •
■^glistering stones, and fof divers co-
lours, and all manner of -pxeaoui stones,
and smarble stones in abundance. More- 3
over, because I have set my affection to
the house of my God, I have of mine
own proper good, of gold and silver,
7vhich 1 have given to the house of my
God, over and above all that I have
prepared for the holy house, even "^ three 4
thousand talents of gold, of the gold of
'Ophir, and seven thousand talents of
'refined silver, to overlay the walls of
the houses ivithal : the gold for things 5
('/' gold, and the silver for things of
silver, and for all manner of work to be
made by the hands of artificers. And
w'ho then is willing 'to consecrate his
service this day unto the Lord?
6 Then ''the chief of the fathers and
princes of the tribes of Israel, and the
captains of thousands and of hundreds,
with 'the rulers over the king's work,
7 oftered willingly, and gave for the ser-
vice of the house of God of gold five
thousand talents and ten thousand
"drams, and of silver ten thousand
talents, and of brass eighteen thousand
talents, and one hundred thousand ta-
slents of iron. And they with whom'
^precious stones were found gave them
to the 'treasure of the house of the
Lord, °by the hand of Pjehiel the
gGershonite. Then the people rejoiced,
for that they offered willingly, because
with perfect heart they ^offered willingly
to the Lord: and David the king also
rejoiced with great joy.
10 Wherefore David blessed the Lord
before all the congregation: and David
said, 'Blessed be thou. Lord God of Is-
11 rael our father, for ever and ever. Thine,
0 Lord, is the ^greatness, and the 'pow-
er, and the 'glory, and the victory, and
the majesty : for all that is in the heaven
and in the earth is thine; thine is the
'kingdom, O Lord, and thou art exalted
12 as head above all. "Both riches and
honour come of thee, and thou reignest
over all ; and "in thine hand is power and
might; and in thine hand // is to make
great, and to give strength unto all.
13 Now therefore, our God, we thank thee,
14 and praise thy glorious name. But who
am I, and what is my people, that we
should *be able to offer so willingly after
this soi-fi for all things come of thee, and
15* of thine own have we given thee. For
we are ^strangers before thee, and so-
journers, as were all our fathers: >'our
days on the earth are as a shadow, and
16 there is none 'abiding. O Lord our
God, all this store that we have prepared
to build thee a house for thine holy
name comcth of thine hand, and is all
17 thine own. I know also, my God, that
thou ^triest the heart, and ^hast plea-
sure in uprightness. As for me, in the
uprightness of mine heart I have willing-
ly offered all these things: and now have
1 seen ''with joy thy people, which are
'present here, to offer willingly unto
18 thee. O Lord God of Abraham, Isaac,
and of Israel, our fathers, keep this for
ever in '^the imagination of the thoughts
of the heart of thy people, and "prepare

lomon my son ''a perfect heart, to keep
thy commandments, thy testimonies, and
thy statutes, and to do all t/iesf tJtini^s^
and to build the <= palace, for the which

And David said to all the congrega-20
tion, Now bless the Lord your God.
And all the congregation sblessed the
Lord God of their fathers, and ''bowed
down their heads, and worshipped the
Lord, and the king. And they sacrificed 21
sacrifices unto the Lord, and offered
burnt offerings unto the Lord, on the
morrow after that day, even a thousand
bullocks, a thousand rams, and a thou-
sand lambs, with their 'drink offerings,
and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel:
and did eat and drink before the Lord 22
on that day with great gladness. And
they made Solomon the son of David
king 'the second time, and •'anointed
him unto the Lord to be the chief go-
vernor, and JZadok to be priest. 'Then 23
Solomon sat on "'the throne of the Lord
as king instead of David his father, and
prospered; and all Israel obeyed him.
24 And all the princes, and the mighty men,
and all the sons likewise of king David,
'submitted themselves unto Solomon the
25 king. And the Lord "magnified Solo-
mon exceedingly in the sight of all Is-
rael, and "bestowed upon him such royal
majesty as had not been on any king
before him in Israel.
26 Thus David the son of Jesse reigned
27 over all Israel. And the time that he
reigned over Israel was p forty years;
■J seven years reigned he in Hebron, and
thirty and three years reigned he in Je-
28riisalem. And he died ■'in a good old
age, "^full of days, riches, and honour:
and Solomon his son reigned in his
29 stead. Now the acts of David the king,
'first and last, behold, they are written
in the 'book of "Samuel the seer, and
in the 'book of "Nathan the prophet,
and in the "book of "Gad the >'seer,
3oM'ith all his reign and his might, and
^the times that went over him, and over
Israel, and over all the kingdoms of the
countries.

AND ^Solomon the son of David was
■ strengthened in his kingdom, and
•"the Lord his God 'loas with him, and
"^magnified him exceedingly. Then So- 2
lomon spake unto all Israel, to "'the
captains of thousands and of hundreds,
and to the judges, and to every governor
in all Israel, the chief of the fathers. So 3
Solomon, and all the congregation with
him, went to "^the high place that 7C'as at
Gibeon; for there was the tabernacle of
the congregation of God, fwhich Moses
the servant of the Lord had made in
the wilderness. sBut the ark of God 4
had David brought up from hKirjath-
jearim to the place tchick David had pre-
pared for it: for he had pitched a tent
for it at Jerusalem. Moreover 'the bra- s
sen altar, that ' Bezaleel the son of Uri,
the son of Hur, had made, 'he put be-
fore the tabernacle of the Lord : and
Solomon and the congregation ''sought
uii/o it. And Solomon went up thither 6
to the brasen altar before the Lord,
which 7C'as at the tabernacle of the con-
gregation, and 'offered a thousand burnt
offerings upon it.
"In that night did God appear unto ^
Solomon, and said unto him. Ask what
I shall give thee. And Solomon said a
unto God, Thou hast shewed great mer-
cy unto David my father, and hast made
me to reign in his stead. Now, O Lord 9
God, let thy promise unto David my fa-
ther "be established: for thou hast made
me king over a people 'like the dust of
the earth in multitude. Give me now 10
wisdom and knowledge, that I may go
out and come in before this people: for
who can judge this thy people, t/iat is
so great? And God said to Solomon, n
Because this was in thine heart, and
thou hast not asked riches, °wealth, or
honour, nor the life of thine enemies,
neither yet hast asked long life; but hast
asked wisdom and knowledge for thy-
self, that thou mayest judge my people,
12 over whom I have made thee king : wis-
dom and knowledge is granted unto
thee; and I will give thee riches, and
"wealth, and honour, such as Pnone of
the kings have had that /lave been before
thee, neither shall there any after thee
have the like.
13 Then Solomon came from his journey
to ithe high place that was at Gibeon
to Jerusalem, from before the tabernacle
of the congregation, and reigned over
14 Israel. 'And Solomon gathered chari-
ots and horsemen: and *he had a thou-
sand and four hundred chariots, and
twelve thousand horsemen, which he
placed in 'the chariot cities, and with
15 the king at Jerusalem. And the king
•made silver and gold at Jerusalem as
plenteous as stones, and cedar trees made
he as the sycomore trees that are in the
16 vale for abundance. And 'Solomon had
horses brought out of Egypt, and linen
yarn: the king's merchants received the
17 linen yarn at a price. And they fetcht
up, and brought forth out of Egypt a
chariot for six hundred shekels of silver,
and a horse for an hundred and fifty:
and so brought they out horses for all
the kings of the Hittites, and for the
kings of Syria, *by their means. And
Solomon ^determined to build a house
for the name of the Lord, and a house
2 for his kingdom. And ''Solomon told
out threescore and ten thousand men
"^to bear burdens, and fourscore thou-
sand to hew in the mountain, and three
thousand and six hundred "^to oversee
them.
3 ''And Solomon sent to "Huram the
king of Tyre, saying, *= As thou didst deal
with David my father, and didst send

him cedars to build him a house to dwell
therein, ^ am so deal with me. Behold, 4
I build a house to the name of the Lord
my God, to dedicate it to him, and to
burn before him * sweet incense, and for
sthe continual shewbread, and /<?/- ''the
burnt offerings morning and evening, hon
the sabbaths, and ''on the new moons,
and on ''the solemn feasts of the Lord
our God. This is an ordinance for ever
to Israel. And the house which I build 5
is great: for 'great is our God above all
gods. But who 'is able to build him a 6
house, seeing 'the heaven and heaven of
heavens cannot contain him? who ain
I then, that I should build him a house,
save only to burn sacrifice before him?
Send me now therefore a man cunning 7
to work in gold, and in silver, and in
brass, and in iron, and in ''purple, and
'crimson, and blue, and that can skill 'to
grave with the cunning men that are with
me in Judah and in Jenisalem, ""whom
David my father did provide. Send me 8
also cedar trees, fir trees, and "algum
trees, out of Lebanon : for I know that
thy servants can skill to cut timber in
Lebanon; and behold, my servants sliall
be with thy servants, even to prepare me g
timber in abundance : for the house which
I am about to build shail be 'wonderful
great. And behold, " I will give to thy 10
servants, the hewers that cut timber,
"twenty thousand p measures of beaten
wheat, and twenty thousand Pmeasures
of barley, and twenty thousand "J baths of
wine, and "twenty thousand ^baths of oil.
Then Huram the king of Tyre an- n
swered in writing, which he sent to Solo-
mon, ■■ Because the Lord hath loved his
people, he hath made ■ thee king over
them. Huram said moreover, ^Blessed 12
be the Lord God of Israel, 'that made
heaven and earth, who hath given to
David the king a wise son, 'endued with
prudence and understanding, that "might
build a house for the Lord, and a house
for his kingdom. .Vnd now I have sent 13
a cunning man, endued with understand-
ing, of Huram my fiither's, '^the son of 14
a woman of the daughters of Dan, and
his father was a man of Tyre, skilful yto
work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in
iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple,
in blue, and in ^fine linen, and in crim-
son; also to grave any ntan?ier of grav-
ing, and to find out every device which
shall be put to him, with thy cunning
men, and with the cunning men of my
15 lord David thy father. Now therefore
the wheat, and the barley, the oil, and
the wine, which ^my lord hath spoken
16 of, let him send unto his servants: and
we will cut wood out of Lebanon, 'as
much as thou shalt need: and we will
bring it to thee /// flotes by sea to 'Joppa;
and thou shalt carry it up to Jerusalem.
17 ''And Solomon numbered all 'the
strangers that were in the land of Israel,
after the numbering wherefc//// = David
his father had numbered them ; and they
were found an hundred and fifty thou-
sand and three thousand and six hun-
isdred. And he set ''threescore and ten
thousand of them to be bearers of burdens,
and fourscore thousand to be hewers in
the mountain, and three thousand and
six hundred overseers to set the people
a work. Then ^Solomon began to build
the house of the Lord at Jerusalem in
mount ''Moriah, "where t/ie Lord ap-
peared unto David his father, in the
place that David had prepared in the
threshingfloor of '^'Ornan the Jebusite.
2 And he began to build in the second
day of the second month, in the fourth
year of his reign.
3 Now these are the things wherein So-
lomon was 'instructed for the building
of the house of God. ''The length by
cubits after the first measure was three-
score cubits, and the breadth twenty
4 cubits. And the =porch that was in the
front of the house, the length of it was
according to the breadth of the house,
twenty cubits, and the height 7C'as an
hundred and twenty: and he overlaid it
5 within with pure gold. And '"the great-
er house he cieled with sfir tree, which
he overlaid with fine gold, and set there-
6 on ''palm trees and 'chains. And he
'garnished the house with precious stones
for beauty: and the gold icas gold of
7 Parvaim. He overlaid also the house,
the ''beams, the 'posts, and the walls
thereof, and the doors thereof, with gold;
and ''graved cherubims on the walls.
s .\nd he made the ""most holy house, the
length whereof icas according to the
breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and
the breadth thereof twenty cubits: and
"he overlaid it with fine gold, amotint-
ging to six hundred talents. And the
weight of the nails was fifty shekels of
gold. And he overlaid the "upper cham-
bers with gold.

bits also, joining to the wing of the other
cherub. The wings of these cherubims 13
spread themselves forth twenty cubits:
and they stood on their feet, and their
faces were 'inward.
And he made the Pvail of\>\\xt, and 14
purple, and crimson, and ifine linen, and
'wrought cherubims thereon. "^Also he 15
made before the house two pillars of
^thirty and five cubits 'high, and the
chapiter that ^cas on the top of each of
them was five cubits. And he made 16
chains, as in 'the oracle, and put them
on the heads of the pillars; and made
"an hundred pomegranates, and put
them on the chains. And he reared up 17
the pillars before the temple, one on the
right hand, and the other on the left;
and called the name of that on the right
hand 'Jachin, and the name of that on
the left 'Boaz.
Moreover he made ^an altar of brass,
twenty cubits the length thereof, and
twenty cubits the breadth thereof, and
ten cubits the height thereof.
''Also he made a molten sea of ten 2
cubits ' from brim to brim, round in com-
pass, and five cubits the height thereof;
and a line of thirty cubits did compass
it round about. And under it ivas the 3
similitude of "^oxen, which did compass
it round about : ten in a cubit, compass-
ing the sea round about. Two rows of
o.xen 7C'ere cast, when it was cast. It 4
stood upon twelve o.xen, three looking
toward the north, and three looking to-
ward the west, and three looking toward
the south, and three looking toward the
east: and the sea 7i.'as set above upon
them, and all their hinder parts were in-
\rard. And the thickness of it was a 5
handbreadth, and the brim of it like the
work of the brim of a cup, ^with flowers
of lilies; (7«^ it received and held ''three
thousand baths.
He made also =ten lavers, and put 6
five on the right hand, and five on the
left, to wash in them: 'such things as
they oflered for the burnt ottering they
<■ washed in them; but the sea was for
7 the priests to wash in. And he made
sten candlesticks of gold ''according to
their form, and set them in the temple,
five on the right hand, and five on the
8 left. He made also 'ten tables, and
placed them in the temple, five on the
right side, and five on the left. And he
9 made an hundred 'basons of gold. Fur-
thermore he made -"the court of the
priests, and ''the great court, and doors
for ''the court, and overlaid the doors
10 of them with brass. And 'he set the
sea on the right side of the east end,
over against the south.
11 "'And Huram made the pots, and the
shovels, and the 'basons. And Huram
'finished the work that he was to make
for king Solomon for the house of God ;
T.-ito lint, the two pillars, and "the pom-
mels, and the chapiters which were on
the top of the two pillars, and the two
^\Teaths to cover the two pommels of
the chapiters which zcere on the top of
13 the pillars; and °four hundred pome-
granates on the two wreaths; two rows
of pomegranates on each wreath, to
cover the "two pommels of the chapiters
14 which 'were 'upon the pillars. He made
also Phases and "lavers made he upon
15 the bases; one sea, and twelve oxen un-
i6der it. The pots also, and the shovels,
and ithe fleshhooks, and all their instru-
ments, did ■■ Huram his father make to
king Solomon for the house of the Lord
17 <y" 'bright brass. In the plain of Jordan
did the king cast them, in the 'clay
ground between Succoth and ^Zereda-
18 thah. Thus Solomon made all these
vessels in great abundance: for 'the
weight of the brass could not be found
19 out. And Solomon made all the vessels
that were for the house of God, the gold-
en altar also, and "the tables whereon
20 the shewbread v.>as set; moreover the
candlesticks with their lamps, that they
should burn "after the manner before
21 the '^oracle, of >'pure gold; and the
flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs,
made he ^gold, and that 'perfect gold;
22 and the snuffers, and the 'basons, and
the spoons, and the censers, of >'pure
gold: and the ^ entry of the house, the
inner doors thereof for the most holy
place, and the doors of the house of the
temple, were of go\A. Thus all the w^ork
that Solomon made for the house of the
Lord was finished : and Solomon brought
in all the things that David his father
had dedicated; and the silver, and the

=»Then Solomon assembled the elders
of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes,
the chief of the fathers of the children of
Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up the
ark of the covenant of the Lord out of
the city of David, which is Zion. Where-
fore all the men of Israel assembled
themselves unto the king in the feast
which Wds in the seventh month. And
all the elders of Israel came; and "^the
Levites took up the ark. And they
brought up the ark, and the tabernacle
of the congregation, and all the holy
vessels that were in the tabernacle, these
did the priests ^and the Levites bring
up. Also king Solomon, and all the 6
congregation of Israel that were assem-
bled unto him before the ark, sacrificed
sheep and oxen, which could not be told
nor numbered for multitude. And the ^
priests brought in the ark of the cove-
nant of the Lord unto his place, to the
oracle of the house, into the most holy
place, even under the wings of the cheru-
bims: for the cherubims spread forth 3
their wings over the place of the ark, and
the cherubims covered the ark and the
staves thereof above. And they drew 9
out the staves of the ark, that the ends
of the staves were seen ''from the ark
before the oracle ; but they were not seen
without. And "there it is unto this day.
Theie teas nothing in the ark save the 10
two tables which Moses put therein at
Horeb, 'when the Lord made a cove-
nant with the children of Israel, when
they came out of Egypt. ^And it came u
to pass, when the priests were come out
of the holy place: (for all the priests that
were * present were sanctified, rtW did not
then wait by f course: also the Levites 12
which were the singers, all of them sof
Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with
their sons and their brethren, being ar-
rayed in ''white linen, having 'cymbals
and psalteries and harps, stood at the
east end of the altar, and with them an
hundred and twenty ''priests sounding
with trumpets :) it came even to pass, as 13
the trumpeters and singers 7t'ere as one,
to make one sound to be heard in prais-
ing and thanking the Lord; and when
they lift up their voice with 'the tnmi-
pets and cymbals and instmments of
musick, and praised the Lord, '^saying,
' For he is good; for his mercy endureth
for ever: <=that then the house was filled
with a cloud, £7'c;/the house of the Lord;
14 "so that the priests could not stand to
minister by reason of the cloud: for the
glory of the Lord had filled the house of
God.
^Then said Solomon, The Lord hath
said that he would dwell in the thick
2 darkness. But I have built a house of
habitation for thee, and a ''place for thy
3 dwelling for ever. And the king turned
his face, and blessed the whole congre-
gation of Israel: and all the congrega-
4 tion of Israel stood. And he said, Bless-
ed /'(• the Lord God of Israel, who hath
with his hands fulfilled that which he
spake with his mouth to my father Da-
5 vid, saying. Since the day that I brought
forth my people out of the land of Egypt
I chose no city among all the tribes of
Israel to build a house in, that my name
might be there ; '^neither chose I any man
6 to be a ruler over my people Israel : ''but
I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name
might be there; and have chosen David
-to be over my people Israel. Now it
was in the heart of David my father to
build a house for the name of the Lord
8 God of Israel. But the Lord said to
David my father, Forasmuch as it was
in thine heart to build a house for my
name, thou didst well in that it was in
9 thine heart: notwithstanding thou shalt
not build the house; but thy son which
shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall
10 build the house for my name. The Lord
therefore hath performed his word that
he hath spoken : for I am risen up in the
room of David my father, and am set on
the throne of Israel, as the Lord pro-
mised, and have built the house for the
,1 name of the Lord God of Israel. And
in it have I put the ark, wherein is the
covenant of the Lord, that he made
with the children of Israel.
12 And he stood before the altar of the
Lord in the presence of all the congre-
gation of Israel, and spread forth his
13 hands: for Solomon had made 'a bra-
sen scaffold, of five cubits 'long, and five
cubits broad, and three cubits high, and
had set it in the midst of ""the court:
and upon it he stood, and e kneeled
doii.>n upon his knees before all the con-
gregation of Israel, and spread forth his
14 hands towards heaven, and said, O Lord
God of Israel, there is no God like thee
in the heaven, nor in the earth; which
keepest covenant, and sheivest mercy un-

to thy servants, that walk before thee
with all their hearts: thou which hast 15
kept with thy servant David my father
that which thou hast promised him; and
spakest with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled
// with thine hand, as U is this day. Now 16
therefore, O Lord God of Israel, keep
with thy servant David my father thai
which thou hast promised him, saying,
'There shall not fail thee a man in my
sight to sit upon the throne of Israel;
yet so that thy children take heed to
their way to walk in my law, as thou
hast walked before me. Now then, O 17
Lord God of Israel, let thy word be
verified, which thou hast spoken unto
thy servant David.
But will God in very deed dwell with 18
men on the earth? behold, heaven and
the heaven of heavens cannot contain
thee; how much less this house which
I have built? Have respect therefore to 19
the prayer of thy serv^ant, and to his
supplication, O Lord my God, to
hearken unto the cry and the jjrayer
which thy servant prayeth before thee:
that thine eyes may be open ''upon 20
this house day and night, ''upon the
place whereof thou hast said that thou
wouldest put thy name there; to hearken
unto the prayer which thy servant pray-
eth 'towards this place. Hearken there- 21
fore unto the supplications of thy ser-
vant, and of thy people Israel, which
they shall * make towards this place :
hear thou from thy dwelling place, a'ai
from heaven; and when thou hearest,
forgive.
If a man sin against his neighbour, 22
'and an oath be laid upon him to make
him swear, and the oath come before
thine altar in this house; then hear thou 23
from heaven, and do, and judge thy
servants, by requiting the wicked, by
recompensing his way upon his own
head; and by justifying the righteous,
by giving him according to his righte-
ousness.
And if thy people Israel ''be put to 24
the worse before the enemy, because
they have sinned against thee ; and shall
return and confess thy name, and pray
and make supplication before thee 'in
this house; then hear thou from the 25
heavens, and forgive the sin of thy
people Israel, and bring them again un-
to the land which thou gavest to them
and to their fathers.
'When the heaven is shut up, and 26
there is no rain, because they have sin-
ned against thee; yet if they pray to-
wards this place, and confess thy name,
and turn from their sin, when thou dost
27 afflict them ; then hear thou from hea-
ven, and forgive the sin of thy servants,
and of thy people Israel, when thou
hast taught them the good way, wherein
they should walk; and send rain upon
thy land, which thou hast given unto
thy people for an inheritance.
28 If there be dearth in the land, if
there be pestilence, if there be blasting,
or mildew, locusts, or caterpillars ; if
their enemies besiege them 'in the cities
of their land ; whatsoever sore or what-
29 soever sickness there be: then what prayer
w what supplication soever shall be made
of any man, or of all thy people Israel,
when every one shall know his own sore
and his own grief, and shall spread forth
30 his hands 'in this house: then hear thou
from heaven thy dwelling place, and
forgive, and render unto every man ac-
cording unto all his ways, whose heart
thou knowest; (for thou only knowest
the hearts of the children of men :)
31 that they may fear thee, to walk in thy
ways, 'so long as they live 'in the land
which thou gavest unto our fathers.
32 Moreover concerning the stranger,
■"which is not of thy people Israel, but
is come from a far countr)' for thy great
name's sake, and thy mighty hand, and
thy stretched out arm ; if they come and
33 pray in this house; then hear thou from
the heavens, nen from thy dwelling
place, and do according to all that the
stranger calleth to thee for; that all
people of the earth may know thy
name, and fear thee, as doth thy people
Israel, and may know that 'this house
which 1 have built is called by thy
name.
34 If thy people go out to war against
their enemies by the way that thou shalt
send them, and they pray unto thee
toward this city which thou hast chosen,
and the house which I ha\-e built for
35 thy name; then hear thou from the
heavens their prayer and their suppli-
36 cation, and maintain their 'cause. If
they sin against thee, (for there is no
man which sinneth not,) and thou be
angry with them, and deliver them over
before their enemies, and 'they carry
them away captives unto a land far off
37 or near; yet if they 'bethink themselves

captive, and turn and pray unto thee
in the land of their captivity, saying,
We have sinned, we have done amiss,
and have dealt wickedly; if they return 38
to thee with all their heart and with all
their soul in the land of their captivity,
whither they have carried them cap-
tives, and pray toward their land, which
thou gavest unto their fathers, and to-
7vard the city which thou hast chosen,
and toward the house which I have
built for thy name : then hear thou 39
from the heavens, ei<en from thy dwell-
ing place, their prayer and their suppli-
cations, and maintain their "cause, and
forgive thy people which have sinned
against thee.
Now, my God, let, I beseech thee, 40
''thine eyes be open, and Id 'thine ears
be atteat 'unto the prayer that is made
in this place. Now therefore "arise, O 41
Lord God, into thy " resting place,
thou, and the ark of thy strength: let
thy priests, O Lord God, be clothed
with salvation, and let thy saints re-
joice in "goodness. O Lord God, Pturn 42
not away the face of thine anointed :
1 remember ■■ the mercies of David thy
servant.
Now ''when Solomon had made an
end of praying, the ''fire came down
from heaven, and consumed the burnt
offering and the sacrifices; and "^the
glory of the Lord filled the house.
''And the priests could not enter into 2
the house of the Lord, because the
glory of the Lord had filled the Lord's
house. And when all the children of 3
Israel saw how the fire came down,
and the glory of the Lord upon the
house, they bowed themselves 7i<ith their
faces to the 'ground upon the pavement,
and worshipped, and praised the Lord,
^saying. For he is good; for his mercy
e)idiireth for ever.
fThen the king and all the people 4
offered sacrifices before the Lord. And 5
king Solomon oflfered a sacrifice of
twenty and two thousand o.xen, and an
hundred and twenty thousand sheep :
so the king and all the people dedicated
the house of God. And the priests 6
waited on their s offices: ''the Levites
also with instruments of musick of the
Lord, which David the king had made
'to praise the Lord, •= because his mercy
endiircth for ever, when David jiraised
'by their ministry; and 'the priests
sounded trumpets before them, and all
/Israel stood. Moreover Solomon hal-
lowed the middle of the court that ivas
before the house of the Lord: for there
he oftered burnt offerings, and the fat
of the peace oflerings, because the bra-
sen altar which Solomon had made was
not able to receive the burnt offerings,
and the meat oflerings, and the fat.
8 Also at the same time Solomon kept
the feast seven days, and all Israel with
him, a very great congregation, from
the entering in of Hamath unto'' the
9 river of Egypt. And in the eighth day
they made 'a solemn assembly: for 'they
kept the dedication of the altar seven
10 days, and the feast seven days. And
"'on the three and twentieth day of the
seventh month he sent the people away
into their tents, glad and merry in heart
for the goodness that the Lord had
shewed unto David, and to Solomon,
and to Israel his people.
11 Thus "Solomon finished the house of
the Lord, and the king's house: and
all that came into Solomon's heart to
make in the house of the Lord, and in
his own house, he prosperously effected.
12 And the Lord appeared to Solomon by
night, and said unto him, I have heard
thy prayer, and °have chosen this place
i3to myself for a house of sacrifice. Pif
I shut up heaven that there be no rain,
or if I command the ^locusts to devour
the land, or if I send pestilence among
14 my people; if my people, 'which are
called by my name, shall ""humble them-
selves, and pray, and seek my face, and
turn from their wicked ways; 'then will
I hear from heaven, and will forgive
15 their sin, and will heal their land. ' Now
mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears
attent 'unto the prayer that is made in
16 this place. For now have " I chosen
and sanctified this house, that my name
may be there for ever: and mine eyes
and mine heart shall be there perpe-
17 tually. And as for thee, if thou wilt
walk before me, as David thy father
walked, and do according to all that
I have commanded thee, and shalt ob-
serve my statutes and my judgments ;
18 then will I stablish the throne of thy
kingdom, according as I have cove-
nanted with David thy father, saying,
'There shall not fail thee a man to be
19 ruler in Israel. "But if ye turn away,
and forsake my statutes and my com-
mandments, which I have set before
you, and shall go and serve other gods.

and worship them; then will I ^phick2c
them up by the roots out of my land
which I have given them ; and this
house, which I have sanctified for my
name, will I cast out of my sight, and
will make it to be a proverb and a by-
word among all nations. And this house, 2
which is high, shall be an astonishment
to every one that passeth by it; so that
he shall say, Why hath the Lord done
thus unto this land, and unto this house?
And it shall be answered. Because they 22
forsook the Lird God of their fathers,
which brought them forth out of the
land of Egypt, and laid hold on other
gods, and worshipped them, and served
them : therefore hath he bro'ught all this
evil upon them.
And ^it came to pass at the end of
twenty years, wherein Solomon had built
the house of the Lord, and his own
house, that the cities which Huram had 2
''restored to Solomon, Solomon built
them, and caused the children of Israel
to dwell there. And Solomon went to 3
'^Hamath-'^zobah, and prevailed against
it. And he built Tadmor in the' wil- 4
demess, and all the store cities, which
he built in Hamath. Also he built 5
"=Beth-horon the upper, and =Beth-horon
the nether, fenced cities, ^witk walls,
gates, and bars ; and Baalath, and all 6
the store cities that Solomon had, and
all the chariot cities, and the cities of
the horsemen, and ' all that Solomon
desired to build in Jerusalem, and in
Lebanon, and throughout all the land
of his dominion. As for all the people 7
that were left of the Hittites, and the
Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the
Hivites, and the Jebusites, which 7cvre
not of Israel, but of their children, who 8
were left after them in the land, whom
the children of Israel consumed not,
them did Solomon make to pay tribute
until this day. But of the children of 9
Israel did Solomon make no servants
for his work; but they were men of
war, and chief of his captains, and
captains of his chariots and horsemen.
And these were the chief of king Solo- 10
mon's officers, ei'en stwo hundred and
fifty, that bare rule over the people.
And Solomon brought up the daughter n
of Pharaoh out of the city of David
unto the house that he had built for
her: for he said, My wife shall not
dwell in the house of David king of
Israel, because the places are * holy,
whereunto the ark of the Lord hath
come.
12 Then Solomon offered burnt offerings
unto the Lord on the altar of the Lord,
''which he had built before the porch,
13 even 'after a certain rate •= every day,
offering according to the commandment
of Moses, ' on the sabbaths, and on
the new moons, and on the solemn
feasts, ""three times in the year, eiien
in the feast of unleavened bread, and
in the feast of weeks, and in the feast
14 of tabernacles. And he appointed, ac-
cording to the order of David his father,
"the courses of the priests to their ser-
vice, and °the Levites to their p charges,
to praise and minister before the priests,
'as the duty of every day required: the
1 porters also by their courses at every
gate: for 'so had David "'the man of
15 God commanded. And they departed
not from the commandment of the king
unto the priests and Levites concerning
any matter, or concerning the treasures.
16 Now all the work of Solomon was pre-
pared unto the day of the foundation
of the house of the Lord, and until it
was finished. So the house of the Lord
was perfected.
:; Then went Solomon to Ezion-geber,
and to 'Eloth, at the sea side in the
18 land of Edom. And Huram sent him
by the hands of his servants ships, and
servants that had knowledge of the sea ;
and they went with the servants of Solo-
mon to Ophir, and took thence four
hundred and ^fifty talents of gold, and
brought t/u-m to king Solomon.
And ^when the queen of Sheba heard
of the fame of Solomon, she came to
prove Solomon with hard questions at
Jerusalem, with a very great company,
and camels that bare spices, and gold
in abundance, and precious stones: and
when she was come to Solomon, she
communed with him of all that was in
2 her heart. And Solomon told her all
her questions: and there was nothing
hid from Solomon which he told her
3 not. And when the queen of Sheba
had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and
4 the house that he had built, and the
meat of his table, and the sitting of his
servants, and the attendance of his
ministers, and their apparel; his 'cup-
bearers also, and their apparel ; and his
ascent by which he went up into the
house of the Lord ; there was no more
5 spirit in her. And she said to the king,

It was a true 'report which I heard in
mine own land of thine 'acts, and of
thy wisdom : howbeit I behaved not 6
their words, until I came, and mine
eyes had seen //.• and behold, t/te one
half of the greatness of thy wisdom was
not told me: for thou exceedest the
fame that I heard. Happy are thy ^
men, and happy arc these thy servants,
which stand continually before thee, and
hear thy wisdom. Blessed be the Lord 8
thy God, which delighted in thee to set
thee on ""his throne, to be king for the
Lord thy God : because thy God loved
Israel, to establish them for ever, there-
fore made he thee king over them, to
do judgment and justice. And she gave 9
the king an hundred and twenty talents
of gold, and of spices great abundance,
and precious stones: neither was there
any such spice as the queen of Sheba
gave king Solomon. And the servants 10
also of Huram, and the servants of So-
lomon, which brought gold from Ophir,
brought 'algum trees and precious stones.
And the king made of the algum trees n
"terraces to the house of the Lord, and
to the king's palace, and harps and
psalteries for singers: and there were
none such seen before in the land of
Judah. And king Solomon gave to the 12
queen of Sheba all her desire, what-
soever she asked, besides that which "^she
had brought unto the king. So she
turned, and went away to her own land,
she and her servants.
''Now the weight of gold that came 13
to Solomon in one year was six hundred
and threescore and six talents of gold ;
besides that which chapmen and mer- 14
chants brought. And all the kings of
Arabia and "governors of the country
brought gold and silver to Solomon.
And king Solomon made two hundred 15
targets of beaten gold : six hundred she-
kels of beaten gold went to one target.
And three hundred shields made he of 16
beaten gold: 'three hundred shekels of
gold went to one shield. And the king
put them in the house of the forest of
Lebanon. Moreover the king made a 17
great throne of ivory, and overlaid it
with fpure gold. And there were six is
steps to the throne, with a footstool of
gold, which were fastened to the throne,
and 'stays on each side of the sitting
place, and two lions standing by the
stays : and twelve lions stood there on 19
the one side and on the other upon the
six steps. There was not the like made
20 in any kingdom. And all the drinking
vessels of king Solomon were of gold,
and all the vessels of the house of the
forest of Lebanon loere of 'pure gold:
'none ^cvre of silver; it was ^not any
thing accounted of in the days of Solo-
21 mon. For the king's ships went to
Tarshish with the servants of Huram:
every three years once came the ships
of 'larshish bringing gold, and silver,
22 'ivory, and apes, and peacocks. And
king Solomon passed all the kings of
23 the earth in riches and wisdom. And
all the kings of the earth sought the
presence of Solomon, to hear his wis-
dom, that God had put in his heart.
24 And they brought every man his pre-
sent, vessels of silver, and vessels of
gold, and raiment, ''harness, and spices,
horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
25 'And Solomon had ''four thousand stalls
for horses and chariots, and twelve
thousand horsemen ; whom he bestowed
in the chariot cities, and with the king
26 at Jerusalem. 'And he reigned over all
the kings from the 'river even unto the
land of the Philistines, and to the bor-
27der of Egypt. And the king 'made
silver in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar
trees made he as the sycomore trees
that are in ""the low pkiins in abund-
ssance. And they brought unto Solo-
mon horses out of Egypt, and out of
all lands.
=9 "Now the rest of the acts of Solo-
mon, "first and last, are they not written
in the 'book of p Nathan the prophet,
and in the ^prophecy of ""Ahijah the
Shilonite, and in the visions of ''Iddo
the 'seer against Jeroboam the son of
3oNebat? And Solomon reigned in Je-
31 nisalem over all Israel forty years. And
Solomon slept with his fathers, and he
was buried in the city of David his
father: and Rehoboam his son reigned
in his stead.
And "Rehoboam went to Shechem:
for to Shechem were all Israel come to
2 make him king. And it came to pass,
when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who
7c<as in Egypt, ''whither he had fled
from the presence of Solomon the king,
heard //, that Jeroboam returned out of
3 Egypt. And they sent and called him.
So Jeroboam and all Israel came and
4 spake to Rehoboam, saying, Thy father
made our yoke grievous : now therefore
ease thou somewhat the grievous servi-

tude of thy father, and his heavy yoke
that he put upon us, and we will serve
thee. And he said unto them. Come s
again unto me after three days. And
the people departed. And king Reho- 6
boam took counsel with the old men
that had stood before Solomon his fa-
ther while he yet lived, saying, What
counsel give ye me to return answer to
this people? And they spake unto him, 7
saying, '=If thou be kind to this people,
and please them, and speak good words
to them, they will be thy servants for
ever. But he forsook the counsel which s
the old men gave him, and took coun-
sel with the young men that were brought
up with him, that stood before him.
And he said unto them, What advice 9
give ye that we may return answer to
this people, which have spoken to me,
saying. Ease somewhat the yoke that
thy father did put upon us? And the 10
young men that were brought up with
him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt
thou answer the people that spake unto
thee, saying. Thy father made our yoke
heavy, but make thou //somewhat lighter
for us; thus shalt thou say unto them,
]\Iy \ixx\e. Jinger shall be thicker than my
father's loins. For whereas my father n
wi^h.iaJed. tpu(- ^ heavy yoke upon you, I will put
more to your yoke : my father chastised
"Expressed y^y ^yith whips, but I '^un/l chastise yoit
with scorpions. So Jeroboam and all 12
the people came to Rehoboam on the
third day, as the king bade, saying.
Come again to me on the third day.
And the king answered them roughly; 13
and king Rehoboam forsook the counsel
of the old men, and answered them 14
after the advice of the young men, say-
ing, My father made your yoke heavy,
but I will add thereto: my father chas-
tised you with whips, but I ^icill chas-
tise you with scorpions. So the king 15
hearkened not unto the people : for the
cause was of God, that the Lord might
perform his word, which he spake by
the hand of "^Ahijah the Shilonite to
Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
And when all Israel saw that the king i«
would not hearken unto them, the peo-
ple answered the king, saying.
What portion have we in David?
And K'c have none inheritance in the
son of Jesse:
Every man to your tents, O Israel :
And now, David, see to thine own
house.
eSee I Kin,
11. 29.
17 So all Israel went to their tents. But
as for the children of Israel that dwelt
in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reign-
18 ed over them. Then king Rehoboam
sent fHadoram that K'as over the tri-
bute; and the children of Israel stoned
him with stones, that he died. But
king Rehoboam * made speed to get
him up to his chariot, to flee to Jeru-
19 salem. And Israel rebelled against the
house of David unto this day.
And when Rehoboam was come to
Jerusalem, he gathered of the house of
Judah and Benjamin an hundred and
fourscore thousand chosen men, which
were warriors, to fight against Israel,
that he might bring the kingdom again
2 to Rehoboam. But the word of the
Lord came to Shemaiah the man of
3 God, saying. Speak unto Rehoboam the
son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to
all ^Israel in Judah and Benjamin, say-
4 ing. Thus saith the Lord, Ye shall not
go up, nor fight against ^''your brethren :
return every man to his house, for this
thing is done of me. And they obeyed
the words of the Lord, and returned
from going against Jeroboam.
s And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem,
and built ''cities for defence in Judah.
6 He built even '=Beth-lehem, and '^Etam,
7 and "^Tekoa, and ^Beth-zur, and sShoco,
sand ''Adullam, and 'Gath, and ''Mare-
9 shah, and 'Ziph, and ™Adoraim, and
io"Lachish, and °.\zekah, and PZorah,
and ''Aijalon, and ■■ Hebron, which are
in Judah and in Benjamin, ''fenced cities.
11 And he fortified the strong holds, and
put captains in them, and store of
12 victual, and ^ oil and wine. And in
every several c\ty he put shields and
spears, and made them exceeding strong,
having Judah and Benjamin on his side.
13 And the priests and the Levites that
were in all Israel 'resorted to him out
14 of all their coasts. For the Levites left
^their suburbs and their possession, and
came to Judah and Jerusalem: for Je-
roboam and his sons 'had cast them off
from executing the priest's office unto
15 the Lord : and he ordained him "priests
for the high places, and for "the devils,
and for >'the calves which he had made.
16^ And after them out of all the tribes
of Israel such as set their hearts to
seek the Lord (iod of Israel came to
Jerusalem, to sacrifice unto the Lord
17 God of their fathers. So they ^strength-

Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong,
three years : for three years they walked
in the way of David and Solomon.
And Rehoboam took him Mahalath is
the daughter of Jerimoth the son of
David to wife, ami Abihail the daughter
of ''Eliab the son of Jesse; which bare 19
him children ; Jeush, and Shamariah,
and Zaham. And after her he took so
"^Maachah the daughter of "^Absalom;
which bare him '=Abijah, and Attai, and
Ziza, and Shelomith. And Rehoboam 21
loved Maachah the daughter of Absa-
lom above all his wives and his concu-
bines: (for he took eighteen wives, and
threescore concubines; and begat twenty
and eight sons, and threescore daughters.)
And fRehoboam made "^Abijah the son 22
of Maachah the chief, to be ruler among
his brethren : for he thought to make him
king. And he dealt wisely, and dis-23
persed of all his children throughout all
the countries of Judah and Benjamin,
unto every fenced city: and he gave
them s victual in abundance. And he
''desired 'many wives.
And it came to pass, when Reho-
boam had established the kingdom, and
='had strengthened himself, ''he forsook
the law of the Lord, and all Israel with
him. And it came to pass, that '=in the 2
fifth year of king Rehoboam Shishak
king of Egypt came up against Jeru-
salem, because they had transgressed
against the Lord, with twelve hundred 3
chariots, and threescore thousand horse-
men: and the people were without num-
ber that came with him out of Egypt;
the ^ Lubims, the Sukkiims, and the
^Ethiopians. And he took ^the fenced ^
cities which pertained to Judah, and
came to Jerusalem. Then came fShe- s
maiah the prophet to Rehoboam, and
to the princes of Judah, that were ga-
thered together to Jerusalem because of
Shishak, and said unto them. Thus saith
the Lord, sYe have forsaken me, and
therefore have I also left you in the
hand of Shishak. Whereupon the princes 6
of ''Israel and the king humbled them-
selves; and they said, 'The Lord is
righteous. And when the Lord saw ^
that they ^humbled themselves, the word
of the Lord came to Shemaiah, saying,
They have humbled themselves; there-
fore I will not destroy them, but I will
grant them 'some deliverance; and ''my
wrath shall not be ])oured out upon Je-
rusalem by the hand of Shishak. Ne- 8
vertheless they shall be his servants;
that they may know 'my service, and
the service of the kingdoms of the coun-
9 tries. "'So Shishak king of Egypt came
up against Jerusalem, and took away
the treasures of the house of the Lord,
and the treasures of the king's house;
he took all: he carried away also the
shields of gold "which Solomon had
10 made. Instead of which king Reho-
boam made shields of brass, and com-
mitted them to the hands of the chief
of the guard, that kept the entrance of
lithe king's house. And when the king
entered into the house of the Lord,
the guard came and fet them, and
brought them again into the guard
12 chamber. And when he humbled him-
self, the wrath of the Lord turned from
him, that he would not destroy him alto-
gether: "and also in Judah things went
well.
13 So king Rehoboam ° strengthened him-
self in Jerusalem, and reigned: for PRe-
hoboam 7vas one and forty years old
when he began to reign, and he reigned
seventeen years in Jerusalem, ithe city
which the Lord had chosen out of all
the tribes of Israel, to put his name
there. And his mother's name was
14 Naamah an Ammonitess. And he did
evil, because he "prepared not his heart
15 to seek the Lord. 'Now the acts of
Rehoboam, '^first and last, are they not
written in the 'book of 'Shemaiah the
prophet, and of "Iddo the '"seer con-
cerning '^ genealogies ? And there were
wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam
16 continually. And Rehoboam slept with
his fathers, and was buried in the city
of David: and "Abijah his son reigned
in his stead.
Now *in the eighteenth year of king
Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over
2 Judah. He reigned three years in Je-
rusalem. His mother's name also laas
'' Michaiah the daughter of Uriel of
■^Gibeah. ''And there was war between
3 Abijah and Jeroboam. And Abijah 'set
the battle in array with an army of
\\aliant men of war, even four hundred
thousand chosen men: Jeroboam also
■^set the battle in array against him with
eight hundred thousand chosen men,
being mighty men of valour.
4 And Abijah stood up upon mount
fZemaraim, which is in smount Ephraim,
and said. Hear me, thou Jeroboam, and
sail Israel; ought you not to know that

the Lord God of Israel ''gave the king-
dom over Israel to David for ever, ezvn
to him and to his sons by 'a covenant
of salt? Yet Jeroboam the son of Ne- 6
bat, the servant of Solomon the son of
David, is risen up, and hath '^rebelled
against his lord. And there are gather- ^
ed unto him 'vain men, '"the children
of Belial, and have strengthened them-
selves against Rehoboam the son of
Solomon, when Rehoboam was "young
and tender hearted, and could not with-
stand them. And now ye think to 8
withstand °the kingdom of the Lord in
the hand of the sons of David; and ye
be a great multitude, and t/iere are with
you P golden calves, which Jeroboam
made you for gods. '^ Have ye not cast 9
out the priests of the Lord, the sons
of Aaron, and the Ixvites, and have
made you priests after the manner of
the nations of ot/icr lands? so that who-
soever Cometh ' to consecrate himself
with "'a young bullock and seven rams,
t/te same may be a priest of t/icm that
are ^no gods. 'But as for us, the Lord 10
is our God, and we have not forsaken
him; and the priests, which minister
unto the Lord, are the sons of Aaron,
and the Levites ■Kiait upon their busi-
ness: and they burn unto the Lord n
every morning and every evening "burnt
sacrifices and"sweet incense : the "'■'■' shetc-
bread also set they in order upon the
pure table; and ^the candlestick of gold
with the lamps thereof, s'to burn every
evening: for we ^keep the charge of
the Lord our God; but ye have for-
saken him. And behold, God himself is iz
with us for our captain, and his priests
''with sounding trumpets to cry alarm
against you. O children of Israel, "^fight
ye not against the Lord God of your
fathers; for you shall not prosper.
But Jeroboam caused <^an ambush- 13
ment to come about behind them: so
they were before Judah, and the am-
bushment was behind them. And when 14
Judah looked back, behold, the battle
was before and behind : and they cried
unto the Lord, and ''the priests sound-
ed with the trumpets. Then the men 15
of Judah gave a shout: and as the men
of Judah shouted, it came to pass, that
God "=smote Jeroboam and all Israel
before Abijah and Judah. And the chil- 16
dren of Israel fled before Judah: and
fGod delivered them into their hand.
And Abijah and his people slew them 17
with a great slaughter: so there fell
down slain of Israel five hundred thou-
18 sand chosen men. Thus the children
of Israel were brought under at that
time, and the children of Judah prevail-
ed, because they srelied upon the Lord
ly God of their fathers. And Abijah pur-
sued after Jeroboam, and took cities
from him, •'Beth-el with the towns there-
of, and Jeshanah with the towns thereof,
and 'Ephrain with the towns thereof.
20 Neither did Jeroboam ''recover strength
again in the days of .-Vbijah : and tlie
21 Lord 'struck him, and "'he died. But
Abijah "waxed mighty, and married
fourteen wives, and begat twenty and
22 two son.s, and si.xteen daughters. And
the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his
ways, and his sayings, arc written in the
■story of the prophet °Iddo. So -\bijah
slept with his fathers, and they buried
him in the city of David: and *Asa his
son reigned in his stead. In his days
the land was quiet ten years.
2 And Asa did that which 'ii<as good
and right in the eyes of the Lord his
3 God : for he took away the altars of the
strange ^(.'■ft/j', and ''the high places, and
brake down the 'images, and "^cut down
4 the groves: and commanded Judah to
seek the Lord God of their fathers, and
to do the law and the commandment.
5 Also he took away out of all the cities
of Judah •> tire high places and tlie
'images: and the kingdom was quiet
6 before him. And he built ''fenced cities
in Judah: for the land had rest, and he
had no war in "= those years; because
7 the Lord had gi\'en him rest. There-
fore he said unto Judah, Let us build
these cities, and make about them ''walls,
and towers, gates, and bars, 7vhile the
land is yet before us; because we have
sought the Lord our God, we have
sought him, and she hath given us rest on
ever)- side. So they built and prospered.
s And .Asa had an army of men that bare
targets and spears, out of Judah ''three
hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin,
that bare shields and 'drew bows, two
hundred and fourscore thousand: all
these were mighty me)i of valour.
9 And there came out against them
Zerah 'the P^thiopian with a host of a
thousand thousand, and three hundred
chariots ; and came unto ^ Mareshah.
10 Then Asa went out against him, and
they set the battle in array in the valley
:i of 'Zephathah at ''Mareshah. And Asa

"cried unto the Lord his God, and
said, Lord, it is "nothing with thee to
help, uilidher with many, or with them
that have no power; help u.s, O Lord
our God; for we "rest on thee, and Pin
thy name we go against this multitude.
O Lord, thou art our God; let not
'man i prevail against thee. So the 12
Lord ''smote the Ethiopians before Asa,
and before Judah; and the Ethiopians
fled. And Asa and the people that 13
were with him pursued them unto ^Ge-
rar : and the Ethiopians were over-
thrown, that they could not 'recover
themselves ; for they were * destroyed
before the Lord, and before his ho.st;
and they carried away very much spoil.
And they smote all the cities round 14
about *Gerar; for "the fear of the Lord
came upon them : and they spoiled all
the cities; for there was exceeding much
spoil in them. They smote also the 15
tents of cattle, and carried away sheep
and camels in abundance, and returned
/(' Jerusalem.
And ^the spirit of God came upon
^Azariah the son of Oded: and he went 2
out *to meet Asa, and said unto him.
Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and
Benjamin; The Lord is with you, while
ye be with him; and '^if ye seek him,
he will be found of you; but "^if ye
forsake him, he will forsake you. Now 3
<^for a long season Israel hath hecti with-
out the true God, and without fa teach-
ing priest, and without law. But Swhen 4
they in their trouble did turn unto the
Lord God of Israel, and sought him,
he was found of them. And ''in those s
times there was no peace to him that
went out, nor to him that came in,
but great vexations 'ivcre upon all the
inhabitants of the countries. And na- 6
tion was 'destroyed of nation, and city
of city: for God did vex them with all
adversity. Be 'ye strong therefore, and -
let not ''your hands be weak: for 'your
work shall be rewarded.
And when Asa heard these words, s
and the prophecy of ''Oded the pro-
phet, he took courage, and ""put away
the * abominable idols out of all the
land of Judah and Benjamin, and out
of the cities "which he had taken from
mount Ephraim, and renewed the altar
of the Lord, that ftwi' "before the porch
of the Lord. And he gathered all Ju- 9
dah and Benjamin, and I'the strangers
with them out of Ephraim and Manas-
seh, and out of Simeon: for they fell
to him out of Israel in abundance, when
they saw that the Lord his Clod was
10 with him. So they gathered themselves
together at Jerusalem in the 1 third
month, in the fifteenth year of the reign
11 of Asa. And they offered unto the
Lord * the same time, of ■■ the spoil
which they had brought, seven hundred
12 o,\en and seven thousand sheep. And
they ^entered into a covenant to seek
the Lord God of their fathers with all
13 their heart and with all their .soul; that
whosoever would not seek the Lord
God of Israel 'should be put to death,
whether small or great, whether man or
14 woman. And they sware unto the Lord
with a loud voice, and with shouting,
and with trumpets, and with "cornets.
15 And all Judah rejoiced at the oath :
for they had sworn with all their heart,
and '^sought him with their whole desire;
and he was "^found of them: and the
Lord "gave them rest round about.
16 " And also concerning Maachah the
'mother of Asa the king, he removed
her from being queen, because she had
made an 'idol in a grove: and Asa cut
down her idol, and "stamped //, and
17 burnt it at the brook Kidron. But J'the
high i^laces were not taken away out of
Israel : nevertheless the heart of Asa was
is perfect all his days. And he brought
into the house of God tlu- things that his
father had dedicated, and that he him-
self had dedicated, silver, and gold, and
19 vessels. And there was no 7?iore war
unto the five and thirtieth year of the
reign of Asa.
In the ^six and thirtieth year of the
reign of Asa '' Baasha king of Israel
came up against Judah, and built Ra-
mah, to the intent that he might let
none go out or come in to Asa king
2 of Judah. Then Asa brought out silver
and gold out of the treasures of the
house of the Lord and of the king's
house, and sent to Ben-hadad king of
Syria, that dwelt at 'Damascus, saying,
3 There is a league between me and thee,
as there was between my father and thy
father: behold, I have sent thee silver
and gold; go, break thy league with
Baasha king of Israel, that he may
4 depart from me. And Ben-hadad heark-
ened unto king Asa, and sent the cap-
tains of 'his armies against the cities of
Israel ; and they smote Ijon, and Dan,
and "^Abel-maim, and all ''the store cities

of Naphtali. And it came to pass, when =
Baasha heard //, that he left off building
of Ramah, and let his work cease. Then 6
Asa the king took all Judah; and they
carried away the stones of Ramah, and
the timber thereof, whereav'//; Baasha
was a building; and he built therewith
Geba and Mizpah.
And at that time =Hanani 'the seer 7
came to Asa king of Judah, and said
unto him, ^Because thou hast •'relied on
the king of Syria, and not relied on the
Lord thy God, therefore is the host of
the king of Syria escaped out of thine
hand. Were not '^the Ethiopians and 8
Uhe Lubinis *a huge host, with very
many chariots and horsemen? yet, be-
cause thou didst rely on the Lord, ''he
delivered them mto thine hand. For 9
' the eyes of the Lord run to and fro
throughout the whole earth, ' to shew
himself strong in the behalf of t/icm
whose ™heart is perfect towards him.
Herein "thou hast done foolishly: there-
fore from henceforth "thou shall have
wars. Then Asa was wroth with ^the 10
seer, and put him in Pa prison house;
for he was in a rage with him because
of this thino. And Asa 'oppressed some
of the people the same time.
And behold, ithe acts of Asa, ■'first n
and last, lo, they are written in the book
of the kings of Judah and Israel. And 12
Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his
reign iwas diseased in his feet, until
his disease was exceeding great: yet in
his disease he sought not to the Lord,
but to the physicians. ^\nd Asa slept 13
with his fathers, and died in the one
and fortieth year of his reign. And 14
^they buried him in his own sepulchres,
which he had 'made for him.seif in the
city of David, and laid him in the bed
which was filled '■icith sweet odours and
"divers kinds of spices prepared by "the
apothecaries' art: and they made ^a very
great burning for him.
And ^Jehoshaphat his son reigned in
his stead, and strengthened himself a-
gainst Israel. And he placed forces in 2
all ''the fenced cities of Judah, and set
■^garrisons in the land of Judah, and in
the cities of Ephraim, ''which Asa his
father had taken. And the Lord was 3
with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in
the first ways " of his father David, and
sought not unto Baalim; but "= sought to 4
the Lord God of his father, and walked
in his commandments, and not after fthe
5 doings of Israel. Therefore the Lord
stablished the kingdom in his hand;
and all Judah 'brought to Jehoshaphat 'Heb. ^ai/^.

Now Jehoshaphat ■''had riches and
honour in abundance, and ''joined affi-
nity with Ahab. And 'after ar/f?//; years 2
•^he went down to .\hab to "^ Samaria.
And Ahab killed sheep and o.xen for
him in abundance, and for the people
that he had with him, and "^persuaded '
him to go up with hi/n to fRamoth-
gilead. And Ahab king of Israel said 3
unto Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Wilt
thou go with me to Ramoth-gilead? And
he answered him, I am as thou art, and
my people as thy people; and 7ue tvill
be with thee in the war. And Jehosha- 4
phat said unto the king of Israel, In-
quire, I pray thee, at the word of the
Lord to day. Therefore the king of 5
Israel gathered together of prophets four
hundred men, and said unto them, Shall
we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or
shall I forbear? And they said. Go up;
for God will deliver // into the king's
hand. But Jehoshaphat said. Is there t
not here a prophet of the Lord 'be-
sides, that we might inquire of him ?
And the king of Israel said unto Je- ^
hoshaphat, There is yet one man, by
whom we may inquire of the Lord : but
I hate him; for he never prophesied
good unto me, but always evil : the
same is Micaiah the son of Imla. And
Jehoshaphat said. Let not the king say
so. And the king of Israel called for s
one of his "officers, and said, 'Fetch
quickly Micaiah the son of Imla. And 9
the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king
of Judah sat either of them on his
throne, clothed in their robes, and they

of the gate of Samaria; and all the pro-
phets prophesied before them. And Ze- jo
dekiah the son of Chenaanah had made
him horns of iron, and said, Thus saith
the Lord, With these thou shalt push
Syria until 'they be consumed. Andu
all the prophets prophesied so, saying,
Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and prosper:
for the Lord shall deliver /;" into the
hand of the king.
And the messenger that went to call 12
Micaiah spake to him, saying, Behold,
the words of the prophets dee/are good
to the king 'with one assent; let thy
word therefore, I pray thee, be like one
of theirs, and speak thou good. And 13
Micaiah said, As the Lord liveth, even
what my God saith, that will I speak.
And when he was come to the king, 14

we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or

and prosper, and they shall be delivered
15 into your hand. And the king said to
him. How many times shall I adjure
thee that thou say nothing but the truth
16 to me in the name of the Lord? Then
he said, I did see all Israel scattered
upon the mountains, as sheep that have
no shepherd : and the Lord said. These
have no master; let them return there-
fore every man to his house in peace.
17 And the king of Israel said to Jehosha-
phat, Did I not tell thee that he would
not prophesy good unto me, "but evil? y^';,^/,
is Again he said. Therefore hear the word Sover. 7
of the Lord; I saw the Lord sitting "^'''•'■
upon his throne, and all the host of
heaven standing on his right hand and
iciOii his left. And the Lord said, Who
shall sentice Ahab king of Israel, that ^'S";°^-
he may go up and fall at Ramoth- "° ' ° '''
gilead? And one spake saying after this
manner, and another saymg after that
:o manner. Then there came out a spirit,
and stood before the Lord, and said,
I will 6 entice him. And the Lord said
21 unto him. Wherewith? And he said, I
will go out, and be a lying spirit in the
mouth of all his prophets. And the
Lord said. Thou shalt s entice hi?H, and
thou shalt also prevail: go out, and do
22 even so. Now therefore behold, the
Lord hath put a lying spirit in the
mouth of the.se thy pirophets, and the
Lord hath spoken evil against thee.
=3 Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah
came near, and smote Micaiah upon the
cheek, and said, ^^'hich way went the
spirit of the Lord from me to speak
24 unto thee? And Micaiah said, Behold,
thou shalt see on that day \\hen thou
shalt go 'into an inner chamber to hide "Or, from
25 thyself. Then the king of Israel said, VimmbJ^r. "
Take ye Micaiah, and carry him back ^eb.
to Anion the governor of the city, and a chami/er.
26 to Joash the king's son; and say. Thus
saith the king. Put this fellow in the
]jrison, and feed him with bread of af-
fliction and with water of affliction, until
;? I return in peace. And Micaiah said.
If thou certainly return in peace, then
hath not the Lord spoken by me. And
he said. Hearken, all ye people.
28 So the king of Israel and Jehosha-
phat the king of Judah went up to
29 Ramoth-gilead. And the king of Israel
said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise
myself, and will go to the battle; but

Israel disguised himself; and they went
to the battle. Now the king of Syria 30
had commanded the captains of the
chariots that 'lUcre with him, saying,
Fight ye not with small or great, save
only with the king of Israel. And it 31
came to pass, when the captains of the
chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said,
It is the king of Israel. Therefore they

the children of lAmmon and Moab and
■■mount Seir, whom thou ''wouldest not
let Israel invade, when they came out
of the land of Egypt, but 'they turned
from them, and destroyed them not ;
behold, I say, how they reward us, to n

for we have no might against this great
company that cometh against us; nei-
ther know we what to do: but vour
eyes are upon thee. And all Judah 13
stood before the Lord, with their little
ones, their wives, and their children.
Then upon Jahaziel the son of Zecha- 14
riah, the son of Benaiah, the son of
Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite
of the sons of ^Asaph, ^carne the spirit
of the Lord in the midst of the con-
gregation; and he said, Hearken ye, all 15
Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem,
and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith
the Lord unto you, ''Be not afraid nor
dismayed by reason of this great mul-
titude; for '^the battle is not yours, but
God's. To morrow go ye down against 16
them: behold, they come up by the
* cliff of Ziz; and ye shall find them at
the end of the "brook, before the wil-
derness of Jeruel. ''Ye shall not need 17
to fight in this battle: set yourselves,
stand ye still, and see the salvation of
the Lord with you, O Judah and Jeru-
salem: 'jfear not, nor be dismayed; to
morrow go out against them: '=for the
Lord liiill be with you. And Jehosha-is
phat f bowed his head with his face to
the ground: and all Judah and the in-
habitants of Jerusalem fell before the
Lord, worshipping the Lord. And the 19
Levites, of the children of the sKohath-
ites, and of the children of the •'Kor-
hites, stood up to praise the Lord God
of Israel with a loud voice on high.
And they rose early in the morning, 20
and went forth into 'the wilderness of
Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehosha-
phat stood and said. Hear me, O Ju-
dah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem;
'^ Believe in the Lord your God, so
shall you be established ; believe his pro-
phets, so shall ye prosper. And when 21
he had consulted with the people, he
appointed singers unto the Lord, and
'that should praise 'the beauty of holi-
ness, as they went out before the army,
and to say, ""Praise the Lord; for his ^^SeeiChr.
22 mercy endureth for ever. 'And when ^UthlAndiH
they began 'to sing and to praise, the ^lh[-y"'^c'!'^^
Lord set ° ambushments against the '.Heb.

23 and ' they were smitten. For the chil- » ver. 10.
dren of "Amnion and Moab stood up ^t'hcy smote
against the inhabitants of mount Seir, cue another.
utterly to slay and destroy them: and
when they had made an end of the
inhabitants of Seir, every one helped
24 'Pto destroy another. And when Judah tHeb.
came toward the watch tower in the -{^^j//^^^*"
wilderness, they looked unto the mul- ^li ==• 4-
titude, and behold, they were dead 22.° ' ''
bodies fallen to the earth, and *none ■g'Jj;- ;^;.=,°-
23 escaped. And when Jehoshaphat and was wo/ a«
his people came to take away the spoil confp"'^'
of them, they found among them in Judg. 21. 17.
abundance both riches with the dead Ezra 9. 8, 13,
bodies, and 1 precious jewels, which they \*^ '5-
stript off for themselves, more than marg.
they could carry away: and they were Soch.32. 27.
three days in gathering of the spoil, it & a*. 10
26 was so much. And on the fourth day ""^'
they assembled themselves in the valley
of "Berachah; for there they blessed the 1 That is.
Lord : therefore the name of the same **""'^-
place was called, The valley of Bera-
27 chah, unto this day. Then they re-
turned, every man of Judah and Jeru-
salem, and Jehoshaphat in the * fore-
front of them, to go again to Jerusalem
with joy; ''for the Lord had made them
25 to rejoice over their enemies. And they
came to Jerusalem with * psalteries and
harps and trumpets unto the house of '^ '
29 the Lord. And 'the fear of God was 'j^:'i,"f
on all the kingdoms of those countries,
when they had heard that the Lord
fought against the enemies of Israel.
30 So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet :
for his "God gave him rest round about.

dah: he was thirty and five years old i *'"'• 22- 41
when he began to reign, and he reigned
twenty and five years in Jerusalem.
And his mother's name 2vas Azubah the

not from it, doing that which 7C'as right

son of Hanani, ''who *is mentioned in
the book of the kings of Israel. And 35
after this "^did Jehoshaphat king of Ju-
dah join himself with Ahaziah king of
Israel, who did very wickedly: "and he 36
joined himself with him to make ships
to go to Tarshish: and they made the
ships in Ezion-gaber. Then Eliezer the 37
son of Dodavah of '^Mareshah prophe-
sied against Jehoshaphat, saying, "= Be-
cause thou hast joined thyself with
Ahaziah, the Lord hath broken thy
works. And the ships were broken,
that they 'were not able to go to
Tarshish.
Now Jehoshaphat slept wn'th his fa-
thers, and was buried with his fathers
in the city of David. And Jehoram his
son 'reigned in his stead. And he had 2
brethren the sons of Jehoshaphat, Aza-
riah, and Jehiel, and Zechariah, and
Azariah, and Michael, and Shephatiah:
all these 7cwt' the sons of Jehoshaphat
king of * Israel. And their father gave 3
them great gifts of silver, and of gold,
and of ''precious things, with "= fenced
cities in Judah: but the kingdom gave
he to 'Jehoram; because he was the
firstborn. Now when Jehoram was risen 4
up to the kingdom of his father, he
strengthened himself, and slew all his
brethren with the sword, and divers also
of the princes of ^Israel.
"^Jehoram joas thirty and two years 5
old when he ^bcgaii to reign, and he
reigned eight years in Jerusalem. And 6
he walked in the way of the kings of Is-
rael, like as did the house of Ahab: for
he had "^the daughter of Ahab to wife:
and he wrought t/iat which was evil in
the eyes of the Lord. Howbeit the 7
Lord would not destroy the house of
David, because of the covenant that he
had made with David, and as he pro-
mised to give a 'light to him and to his
sons for ever. In his days the Edom- s
ites revolted from under the 'dominion
of Judah, and made themselves a king.
Then Jehoram went forth fwith his 9
princes, and all /«> chariots with him:
and he rose up by night, and smote the
Edomites which compassed him in, and
the captains of the chariots. So the 10
Edomites revolted from under the hand
of Judah unto this day. The same time
also did Libnah revolt from under his
hand ; because he had forsaken the Lord
God of his fathers. Moreover he made n
high places in the mountains of Judah,
and scaused the inhabitants of Jerusa-
lem to commit fornication, and ''com-
pelled Judah thereto.
1= And there came a 'writing to him
from Elijah the prophet, saymg. Thus
saith the Lord God of David thy father,
Because thou hast not walked in 'the
ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, nor in
13 ''the ways of Asa king of Judah, but
hast walked in 'the way of the kings of
Israel, and hast smade Judah and the in-
habitants of Jerusalem to go a whoring,
like to the ""whoredoms of the house of
Ahab, and also hast "slain thy brethren
of thy father's house, which loere "better
14 than thyself: behold, Ji'ith 'a great plague
will the Lord smite thy people, and thy
children, and thy wives, and all thy
15 goods: and thou sha/t have great sick-
ness by Pdisease of thy bowels, until thy
bowels fall out by reason of the sickness
16 day by day. Moreover the Lord 1 stir-
red up against Jehoram the spirit of the
•■Philistines, and of the ■'Arabians, that
iT7c>ere near the ^Ethiopians: and they
came up into Judah, and brake into it,
and 'carried away all the 'substance that
was found in the king's house, and "his
sons also, and his wives; so that there
was never a son left him, save "'Jeho-
isahaz, the youngest of his sons. 'And
after all this the Lord smote him in vhis
19 bowels with an incurable disease. And
it came to pass, that in process of time,
after the end of two ^years, his bowels
fell out by reason of his sickness : so he
died of sore diseases. And his people
made no burning for him, like ^the burn-
2oing of his fathers. ''Thirty and two
years old was he when he began to reign,
and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years,
and departed 'without being desired.
Howbeit they buried him in the city of
David, "^but not in the sepulchres of the
kings.
And the inh.abitants of Jerusalem
made ''Ahaziah his ''youngest son king
in his stead: for the "^band of men that
came with ''the Arabians to the camp
had slain all the eldest. "So Ahaziah
the son of Jehoram king of Judah reign-
2 ed. f Forty and two years old was Aha-
ziah w-hen he began to reign, and he
reigned one year in Jerusalem. His

of the Lord, like the house of Ahab : for
they were his counsellers after the death
of his father to his destruction. He 5
walked also after their counsel, and went
with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of
Israel to war against Hazael king of Sy-
ria at Ramoth-gilead : and the Syrians
smote J Oram. And he returned to be 6
healed in Jezreel, because of the wounds
'which were given him at Ramah, when
he fought with Hazael king of Syria.
And "Azariah the son of Jehoram king
of Judah went down to see Jehoram the
son of Ahab at Jezreel, because he was
sick. And the 'destruction of Ahaziah ^
''was of God by coming to Joram: for
when he was come, 'he went out with
Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nim-
shi, "^whom the Lord had anointed to
cut off the house of Ahab. And it came 8
to pass, that when 'Jehu was executing
judgment upon the house of Ahab, and
found the princes of Judah, and '"the
sons of the brethren of Ahaziah, that
ministered to Ahaziah, he slew them.
"And he sought Ahaziah : and they caught 9
him, (for he was hid in "Samaria,) and
brought him to Jehu : and when they
had slain him, "they buried him: Be-
cause, said they, he is the son of Jeho-
shaphat, who p sought the Lord with all
his heart. So the house of Ahaziah had
no power ito keep still the kingdom.
■"But when Athaliah the mother of 10
Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she
arose and destroyed all the seed royal of
the house of Judah. But 'Jehoshabeath, n
the daughter of the king, took Joash the
son of Ahaziah, and stole him from a-
mong the king's sons that were slain,
and put him and his nurse in a bed-
chamber. So Jehoshabeath, the daugh-
ter of king Jehoram, the wife of Jehoi-
ada the priest, (for she was the sister of
Ahaziah,) hid him from Athaliah, so that
she slew him not. And he was with 12
them hid in the house of God six years:
and Athaliah reigned o\-er the land.
And in the seventh year ^Jehoiada
strengthened himself, and took the cap-
tains of hundreds, Azariah the son of Je-
roham, and Ishmael tlie son of Jehoha-
nan, and ''Azariah the son of ''Obed,
and Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and
Elishaphat the son of Zichri, into cove-
nant with him. And they went about 2
in Judah, and gathered the Levites out
of all the cities of Judah, and the chief
of the fiithers of "^Israel, and they came
3 to Jerusalem. And all the congregation
made a covenant with the king in the
house of God. And he said unto them,
Behold, the king's son shall reign, as
''the Lord hath said of the sons of Da-
4vid. This is the thing that ye shall do;
A third part of you entering on the sab-
bath, of the priests and of the Levites,
s shall be porters of the 'doors; and a
third faii shall be at the king's house;
and a third /<?;■/ at the gate of 'the foun-
dation: and all the people shall be in the
6 courts of the house of the Lord. But
let none come into the house of the
Lord, save the priests, and ^they that
minister of the Levites; they shall go in,
for they arc holy: but sail the people
7 shall keep the watch of the Lord. And
the Levites shall compass the king round
about, every man with his weapons in
his hand; and whosoever else cometh
into the house, he shall be put to death :
but be you with tlie king when he cometh
s in, and when he goeth out. So the Le-
vites and all Judah did according to all
things that Jehoiada the priest had com-
manded, and took every man his men
that were to come in on the sabbath,
with them that were to go out on the
sabbath: for Jehoiada the priest ''dis-
9 missed not 'the courses. Moreover Je-
hoiada the priest delivered to the cap-
tains of hundreds spears, and bucklers,
and shields, that had been king David's,
10 which 7vere in the house of God. And
he set all the people, every man having
his weapon in his hand, from the right
'side of the 'temple to the left side of
the 'temple, aloni; by the altar and the
11 'temple, by the king round about. Then
they brought out the king's son, and put
upon him the crown, and gai'e him the
Testimony, and made him king. And
Jehoiada and his sons anointed him,
12 and said, ' God save the king. Now
when Athaliah heard the noise of the
people '^running and praising the king,
she came to the people into the house of
13 the Lord: and she looked, and behold,
the king stood at his pillar at the enter-
ing in, and the princes and the trumpets
by the king: and all the people of the
land rejoiced, and sounded with trum-
pets, also the singers with instruments
of musick, and 'such as taught to sing
praise. Then Athaliah rent her clothes,
14 and said, 'Treason, Treason. Then Je-
hoiada the priest brought out the cap-
tains of hundreds that were set over the

host, and said unto them, Have her forth
of the ranges : and whoso followeth her,
let him be slain with the sword. For
the priest said, Slay her not in the house
of the Lord. So they laid hands on 15
her; and when she was come to the en-
tering of the '"horse gate by the king's
house, they slew her there.
And Jehoiada made a covenant be- 16
tween him, and between all the people,
and between the king, that they should
be the Lord's people. Then all the ^^
people went to the house of Baal, and
brake it down, and brake his altars and
his images in pieces, and ™™slew Mattan
the priest of Baal before the altars.
Also Jehoiada appointed the offices ofis
the house of the Lord by the hand of
"the priests the Levites, whom "David
had distributed in the house of the
Lord, to offer the burnt offerings of the
Lord, as it is written Pin the lav/ of
Moses, with rejoicing and with singing,
*as it was ordained by David. And he 19
set the 4 porters at the gates of the
house of the Lord, that none which 7vas
unclean in any thing should enter in.
And he took the captains of hundreds, 20
and the nobles, and the governors of
the people, and all the people of the
land, and brought down the king from
the house of the Lord: and they came
through the ■'high gate into the king's
house, and set the king upon the throne
of the kingdom. And all the people of 21
the land rejoiced: and the city was quiet,
after that they had slain Athaliah with
the sword.
Joash 7oas seven years old when he
began to reign, and ''he reigned forty
years in Jerusalem. His mother's name
also tcHis Zibiah of Beer-sheba. And 2
Joash ''did that which was right in the
sight of the Lord <^all the days of Jehoi-
ada the priest. And Jehoiada took for 3
him two wives; ''and he begat sons and
daughters. And it came to pass after 4
this, ///(// Joash =was minded 'to repair
the house of the Lord. And he gather- ;
ed together the priests and the Levites,
and said to them. Go out unto the cities
of Judah, and gather of all fJsrael money
to repair the house of your God from
year to year, and see that ye haste the
matter. sHowbeit the Levites hastened
/■/ not. And the king called for Jehoi- 6
ada the chief, and said unto him, Why
hast thou not required of the Levites to
bring in out of Judah and out of Jeru-
salem the collection, according to the com-
maniiment of ^ Moses the servant of the
Lord, and of the congregation of Is-
7 rael, for the ' tabernacle of Witness ? For
•^the sons of Athaliah, that wicked wo-
man, had broken up the house of God;
and also all the 'dedicate things of the
house of the Lord did they bestow upon
8 Baalim. And at the king's command-
ment they made a chest, and set it
"'without at the gate of the house of the
9 Lord. And they made 'a proclamation
through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring
in to the Lord "the collection that Mo-
ses the servant of God laid upon Israel
10 in the wilderness. And all the princes
and all the people rejoiced, and brought
in, and cast into the chest, until they
11 had made an end. Now it came to
pass, that at what time the chest was
brought unto the king's office by the
hand of the Levites, and when they saw
that there was much money, the king's
scribe and the high priest's officer came
and emptied the chest, and took it, and
carried it to his place again. Thus they
did day by day, and gathered money in
12 abundance. And the king and Jehoi-
ada gave it to such as did the work of
the service of the house of the Lord,
and hired masons and carpenters to re-
pair the house of the Lord, and also
such as wrought iron and brass to "mend
13 the house of the Lord. So the work-
men wrought, and *the work was per-
fected by them, and they set the house
of God in his state, and strengthened it.
14 And when they had finished if, they
brought the rest of the money before the
king and Jehoiada, Pwhereof were made
vessels for the house of the Lord, CTcn
vessels to minister, and ' to offer withal,
and spoons, and vessels of gold and sil-
ver. And they offered burnt ofterings
in the house of the Lord continually
lall the days of Jehoiada.
15 But Jehoiada waxed old, and ■'was
full of days when he died ; an hundred
and thirty years old was he when he
16 died. And they buried him in the city
of David among the kings, because he
had done good in Tsrael, both towards
17 God, and towards his house. Now after
the death of Jehoiada came the princes
of Judah, and made obeisance to the
king. Then the king hearkened unto
18 them. And they left the house of the
Lord God of their fathers, and served
^groves and 'idols: and "wrath came

5 Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah
together, and made them captains over
thousands, and captains over hundreds,
I according to the houses of thci)- fathers,
throughout all Judah and Benjamin: and
he numbered them '^from twenty years cNum. i. 3.

other /// the face. And Joash king of 18
Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah,
saying, The 'thistle that teas in Leba-
non sent to the cedar that was in Leba-
non, saying, tiive thy daughter to my
son to wife: and there passed by 'a wild
beast that was in Lebanon, and trode
down the thistle. Thou sayest, Lo, thou 19
hast smitten the Edomites; and thine
heart lifteth thee up to boast: abide
now at home ; why shouldest thou med-
dle to thine hurt, that thou shouldest
fall, even thou, and Judah with thee?
But Amaziah would not hear; for 'it:o
came of God, that he might deliver them
into the hand of their enemies, because
"they sought after the gods of Edom.
So Joash the king of Israel went up; 21
and they saw one another in the face,
both he and Amaziah king of Judah, at
Beth-shemesh, which be/ongcth to Judah.
And Judah was 'put to the worse before 22
Israel, and they fled every man to his
tent. And Joash the king of Israel 23
took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of
Joash, the son of "Jehoahaz, at Beth-
shemesh, and brought him to Jerusalem,
and brake down the wall of Jerusalem
from the vgate of Ephraim to 'the cor-
ner gate, four hundred cubits. And ^he-.^^
took all the gold and the silver, and all
the vessels that were found in the house
of God with ^Obed-edom, and the trea-
sures of the king's house, the hostages '
also, and returned to Samaria.
''And Amaziah the son of Joash king 25
of Judah lived after the death of Joash
son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen
26 years. Now the rest of the acts of A-
maziah, '^first and last, behold, are they
not written in the book of the kings of
27 Judah and Israel? Now after the time
that Amaziah did turn away 'from fol-
lowing the Lord they 'made a conspi-
racy against him in Jerusalem; and he
fled to Lachish: but they sent to Lach-
28 ish after him, and slew him there. And
they brought him upon horses, and bu-
ried him with his fathers in the city of
'Judah. Then all the people of Judah
took '^Uzziah, who 7oas si.Kteen years
old, and made him king in the room of
2 his father Amaziah. He built Eloth,
and restored it to Judah, after that the
king slept with his fathers.
3 ^Si.xteen years old icas Uzziah when
he began to reign, and he reigned fifty
and two years in Jerusalem. His mo-
ther's name also 7oas Jecoliah of Jeru-
4salem. ^And he did that which 'was
right in the sight of the Lord, accord-
ing to all that his father Amaziah did.
5 And ''he sought God in the days of
Zechariah, who <^had understanding 'in
the visions of God : and as long as he
sought the Lord, God made him to
6 prosper. And he went forth and ''war-
red against the Philistines, and brake
down the wall of "^Gath, and the wall of
f Jabneh, and the wall of sAshdod, and
built cities 'about Ashdod, and among
7 the Philistines. And God helped him
against the ''Philistines, and against the
''Arabians that dwelt in Gur-baal, and
8 the 'Mehunims. And the ''Ammonites
gave 'gifts to Uzziah: and his name l'^i;\t,
'spread abroad even to the entering in
of Egypt: for he strengthened himself
9 exceedingly. Moreover Uzziah built
towers in Jerusalem at the ""corner gate,
and at the "valley gate, and at "the
turning of the waft, and 'fortified them.
10 Also he built towers in the desert, and
'digged many wells: for he had much
cattle, both in the low country, and in
Pthe plains : ^husbandmen a/so, and i vine-
dressers in the mountains, and in '■'Car-
iimel: for he loved 'husbandry. More-
over Uzziah had a host of fighting men,
that went out to war by ^ bands, accord-
ing to the number of their account by
the hand of Jeiel the scribe and Maa-
seiah the 'ruler, under the hand of Ha-
12 naniah, one of the king's captains. The

thousand and six hundred. And under i
their hand tvas *an army, "three hun-
dred thousand and seven thousand and
five hundred, that made war with mighty
power, to help the king against the ene-
my. And Uzziah prepared for them i
throughout all the host ^'shields, and
"spears, and >' helmets, and y^ haberge-
ons, and "bows, and ^slings to cast
stones. And he made in Jerusalem i
^engines, invented by cunning ?nen, to be
on the towers and upon the ''bulwarks,
to shoot arrows and great stones withal.
And his name 'spread far abroad; for
he was marvellously helped, till he was
strong.
But "^when he was strong, ''his heart i
was lifted up to his destruction : for he
transgressed against the Lord his God,
and went into "^the temple of the Lord
fto burn incense upon "^the altar of in-
cense. And sAzariah the priest went i
in after him, and with him fourscore
priests of the Lord, that were ''valiant
men : and they withstood LTzziah the i
king, and said unto him, '// pertain-
eth not unto thee, LTzziah, to burn in-
cense unto the Lord, but to the ''priests
the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated
to burn incense : go out of the sanctu-
ary; for thou hast trespassed; neither
shall it be for thine honour from the
Lord God. Then Uzziah was wroth, i
and had a censer in his hand to burn
incense: and while he was wroth with
the priests, 'the leprosy even rose up in
his forehead before the priests in the
house of the Lord, from beside the in-
cense altar. And Azariah the chiefs
priest, and all the priests, looked upon
him, and behold, he was leprous in his
forehead, and they ""thrust him out from
thence; yea, himself "hasted also to go
out, because "the Lord had smitten
him. And Uzziah the king was a leper 2
unto the day of his death, and dwelt in
a 'several house, bcini:; a leper; for he
was cut off from the house of the Lord :
and Jotham his son 7i'as over the king's
house, judging the people of the land.
Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, Pfirst =
and last, did "J Isaiah the prophet, the
son of Amoz, write. So Uzziah slept 2
with his fathers, and they buried him
with his fatliers ""in the field of the burial
which bi'loiigcii to the kings; for they
said. He is a leper: and Jotham his son
reigned in his stead.
Jotham ^7cias twenty and five years
old when he began to reign, and he
reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His
mother's name also 7C'as Jerushah, the
2 daughter of Zadok. And he did that
which icas right in the sight of the
Lord, according to all that his father
Uzziah did: howbeit ''he entered not
into the temple of the Lord. And the
3 [jeople did yet corruptly. He built the
'-high gate of the house of the Lord,
and on the wall of '"Ophel he built
4 much. Moreover he built cities in the
mountains of Judah, and in the forests
she built '=castles and towers. He fought
also with the king of the fAmmonites,
and prevailed against them. And the
children of Amnion gave him the same
year an hundred talents of silver, and
ten thousand s measures of wheat, and
ten thousand of barley. 'So much did
the children of Ammon pay unto him,
both the second year, and the third.
6 So Jotham became mighty, ''because he
'prepared his ways before the Lord his
7 God. 'Now the rest of the acts of Jo-
tham, and all his wars, and his ways, lo
they are written in the book of the kings
8 of Israel and Judah. '^ He was five and
twenty years old when he began to reign,
and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
9 'And Jotham slept with his fathers, and
they buried him in the city of David:
and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.
Ahaz ^laas twenty years old when he
began to reign, and he reigned sixteen
years in Jerusalem : but he did not that
which was right in the sight of the
2 Lord, like David his father: for he
walked in the ways of the kings of Is-
rael, and made also ''molten images for
3 '^Baalim. Moreover he 'burnt incense
in "^the valley of the son of Hinnom,
and burnt "his children in the fire after
the abominations of the heathen whom
the Lord had cast out before the chil-
4dren of Israel. He sacrificed also and
burnt incense in the high places, and
on the hills, and under every green tree.
5 Wherefore the Lord his God delivered
him into the hand of the king of .Syria ;
and they '= smote him, and carried away
a great multitude of them captives, and
brought them to 'Damascus. And he
was also delivered into the hand of the
king of Israel, who smote him 'with a
6 great slaughter. For fPekah the son of
Remaliah slew in Judah an hundred and
twenty tliousand in one day, ichieh iciere

all 'valiant men; because they had for-
saken the Lord God of their fathers.
And Zichri, a mighty ma7i of Ephraim, ^
slew Maaseiah sthe king's son, and Az-
rikam sthe governor of the house, and
Elkanah that teas *next to the king.
And the children of Israel carried away 8
captive of their ''brethren two hundred
thousand, women, sons, and daughters,
and took also away much spoil from
them, and brought the spoil to Samaria.
But a prophet of the Lord was there, 9
whose name 7L'as Oded : and he went
out before the host that came to Sa-
maria, and said unto them. Behold, 'be-
cause the Lord God of your fathers was
wroth with Judah, he hath delivered
them into your hand, and ye have slain
them in a rage that 'reacheth up unto
heaven. And now ye purpose to keep 10
under the children of Judah and Jerusa-
lem for bondmen and bondwomen unto
you: but are there not with you, ei'en
with you, sins against the Lord your
God? Now hear me therefore, and de-n
liver the captives again, which ye have
taken captive of your brethren : for the
fierce wrath of the Lord is upon you.
Then certain of the heads of the chil-i2
dren of Ephra'.m, Azariah fhe son of Jo-
hanan, Berechiah the son of Meshille-
moth, and ''Jehizkiah the son of 'Shal-
lum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai,
stood up against them that came from
the war, and said unto them. Ye shall 13
not bring in the captives hither: for
whereas we have offended against the
Lord already, ye intend to add more to
our sins and to our trespass: for our
trespass is great, and thei-e is fierce wrath
against Israel. So ""the armed men left 14
the captives and the spoil before the
princes and all the congregation. And 15
the men "which were expressed by name
rose up, and took the captives, and with
the spoil clothed all that icere naked
among them, and arrayed them, and
shod them, and "gave them to eat and
to drink, and p anointed them, and car-
ried all the feeble of them upon asses,
and brought them to Jericho, ithe city
of palm trees, to their brethren: then
they returned to Samaria.
■■At that time did king Ahaz send 16
unto the kings of Assyria to help him.
For again the Edomites had come and 17
smitten Judah, and carried away 'cap-
tives. The 'Philistines also had 'in-is
vaded the cities of "the low countr)-.
and of the south of Judah, and had
taken "Beth-shemesh, and "Ajalon, and
yQederoth, and ^Shocho with the ^vil-
lages thereof, and ''Timnah with the ^vil-
lages thereof, Gimzo also and the » vil-
lages thereof: and they dwelt there.
19 For the Lord brought Judah low be-
cause of Ahaz king of '^Israel; for he
''made Judah naked, and transgressed
20 sore against the Lord. And 'Tilgath-
pilneser king of Assyria came unto him,
and distressed him, but strengthened
21 him not. ^For Ahaz took away a por-
tion out of the house of the Lord, and
out of the house of the king, and of the
princes, and gave it unto the king of
Assyria: but he helped him not.
22 And -in the time of his distress did
he trespass yet more against the Lord :
23 this is that king Ahaz. For she sacri-
ficed unto the gods of ' Damascus, which
smote him : and he said. Because the
gods of the kings of Syria help them,
therefore will I sacrifice to them, ''that
they may help me. But they 'were the
24 ruin of him, and of all "^Israel. And
Ahaz gathered together the vessels of
the house of God, and ^cut in pieces the
vessels of the house of God, and ''shut
up the doors of the house of the Lord,
and 'he made him altars in every corner
25 of Jerusalem. And in every several
city of Judah he made high places 'to
burn incense unto other gods, and ""pro-
voked to anger the Lord God of his
26 fathers. "Now the rest of his acts and
of all his ways, "first and last, behold,
they are written in the book of the kings
27 of Judah and Israel. And Ahaz slept
with his fathers, and they buried him in
the city, e7'en in Jerusalem: Pbut they
brought him not into the sepulchres of
the kings of '^Israel: and Hezekiah his
son reigned in his stead.
Hezekiah ^begau to reign ichen he was
five and twenty years old, and he reign-
ed nine and twenty years in Jerusalem.
And his mother's name teas Abijah, the
2 daughter of '^Zechariah. And he did
that which -was right in the sight of the
Lord, according to all that David his
3 father had done. He in the first year
of his reign, in the first month, "^opened
the doors of the house of the Lord,
4 and repaired them. And he brought in
the priests and the Levites, and gather-
ed them together into the east street,
sand said unto them. Hear me, ye Le-

sanctify the house of the Lord God of
your fathers, and carry forth the filthi-
ness out of the holy //(7f6'. For our fa- 6
thers have trespassed, and done thai
which was evil in the eyes of the Lord
our God, and have forsaken him, and
have "= turned away their faces from the
habitation of the Lord, and 'turned
their backs. Also they have fshut up 7
the doors of the porch, and put out the
lamps, and have not burnt incense nor
ottered burnt ofterings in the \\o\y place
unto the God of Israel. Wherefore the s
Swrath of the Lord was upon Judah
and Jerusalem, and he hath delivered
them to 'trouble, to astonishment, and
to "^hissing, as ye see with your eyes.
For lo, 'our fathers have fallen by the 9
sword, and our sons and our daughters
and our wives arc in captivity for this.
Now // is -"in mine heart to make ''a co- 10
venant with the Lord God of Israel,
that his fierce wrath may turn away from
us. My sons, "be not now negligent: n
for the Lord hath 'chosen you to stand
before him, to serve him, and that you
should minister unto him, and 'burn in-
cense.

riah, of the sons of the "Kohathites: and
of the sons of "Merari, "Kish the son of
Abdi, and "^ Azariah the son of Jehalelel:
and of the "Gershonites; Pjoah the son
of Zimmah, and "'Eden the son of Joah:
and of the sons of lElizaphan; Shimri, 13
and Jeiel: and of the sons of ''Asaph;
Zechariah, and Mattaniah: and of the 14
sons of ^Heman; "'Jehiel, and ""Shimei:
and of the sons of ^Jeduthun; "'Shemai-
ah, and Uzziel. And they gathered 13
their brethren, and 'sanctified them-
selves, and came, according to the com-
mandment of the king, "by the words of
the Lord, "to cleanse the house of the
Lord. And the priests went into the 16
inner part of the house of the Lord, to
cleanse //, and brought out all the un-
cleanness that they found in the temple
of the Lord into the court of the house
of the Lord. And the Levites took //,
to carry // out abroad into the "brook
Kidron. Now they began on the first 17
liay of ythe first month to sanctify, and
on the eighth day of the month came
they to the porch of the Lord : so they
sanctified the house of the Lord in
eight days; and in the sixteenth day of
the first month they made an end.
18 Then they went in to Hezekiah the
king, and said, "We have cleansed all
the house of the Lord, and the altar of
burnt offering, with all the vessels there-
of, and the shewbread table, with all the
19 vessels thereof Moreover ^all the ves-
sels, which king Ahaz in his reign did
cast away in his transgression, have we
prepared and sanctified, and behold,
they are before the altar of the Lord.
20 Then Hezekiah the king rose early, and
gathered the rulers of the city, and went
21 up /(' the house of the Lord. And they
brought ^ seven bullocks, and seven rams,
and seven lambs, and seven ^he goats,
for a ''sin offering for the kingdom, and
for the sanctuary, and for Judah. And
he commanded the priests the sons of
Aaron to offer them on the altar of the
22 Lord. So they killed the bullocks, and
the priests received the blood, and
'^sprinkled /;" on the altar: likewise, when
they had killed the rams, they sprinkled
the blood upon the altar : they killed
also the lambs, and they sprinkled the
23 blood upon the altar. And they brought
'forth the he goats for the sin oflering
before the king and the congregation;
24 and ''laid their hands upon them: and
the priests killed them, and they made
reconciliation with their blood upon
the altar, <^to make an atonement for
all Israel: for the king commanded that
the burnt offering and the sin offering
^ssliouhl be made for all Israel. And fhe
set the Levites in the house of the Lord
with cymbals, with psalteries, and with
harps, ^according to the commandment
of IJavid, and of ''Gad the king's 'seer,
and ''Nathan the prophet: for so ivas
the commandment 'of the Lord 'by his
26 prophets. And the Levites stood with
'the instruments of David, and "'the
27 priests with the trumpets. And Heze-
kiah commanded to oft'er the burnt of-
fering upon the altar. And 'when the
burnt offering began, the song of the
Lord began also with "'the trumpets,
and with 'the instruments ordained by
28 David king of Israel. And all the con-
gregation worshipped, and the 'singers
sang, and "'the trumpeters sounded: anil
all this co/iti/incil until the burnt offering
29 was finished. And when they had made
an end of offering, "the king and all
that were 'present with him bowed them-
30 selves, and worshipped. Moreover He-
zekiah the king and the princes com-
manded the Levites to sing praise unto

the Lord with the words of David, and
of Asaph the 'seer. And they sang
praises with gladness, and "they bowed
their heads and worshipped. Then He- 31
zekiah answered and said. Now ye have
'consecrated yourselves unto the Lord,
come near and bring sacrifices and "thank
offerings into the house of the Lord.
And the congregation brought in sacri-
fices and "thank offerings; and as many
as were Pof a free heart burnt offerings.
And the number of the burnt offerings, 32
which the congregation brought, was
threescore and ten bullocks, an hundred
rams, and two hundred lambs : all these
were for a burnt ottering to the Lord.
And the consecrated things were si.x hun- 33
dred o.xen and three thousand sheep.
But the priests were tco few, so that 34
they could not flay all the burnt offer-
ings: wherefore 1 their brethren the Le-
vites 'did help them, till the work was
ended, and ■'until the other priests had
sanctified themselves: for the Levites
ivere more Hipright in heart to sanctify
themselves than the priests. And also 35
the burnt offerings 7C'ere in abundance,
with 'the fat of the peace offerings, and
"the drink offerings for a'ery burnt of-
fering. So the service of the house of
the Lord was set in order. And Heze- 35
kiah rejoiced, and all the people, that
God had prepared the people: for the
thing was done suddenly.
And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and
Judah, and wrote letters also to Kph-
raim and Manasseh, that they should
come to the house of the Lord at
Jerusalem, to keep the passover unto
the Lord God of Israel. For the king 2
had taken counsel, and his princes, and
all the congregation in Jerusalem, to
keep the passover in the ^second month.
For they could not keep it ''at that 3
time, "^because the priests had not sanc-
tified themselves sutficiently, neither had
the people gathered themselves together
to Jerusalem. And the thing 'pleased 4
the king and all the congregation. So 5
they established a decree to ''make jiro-
clamation throughout all Israel, "= from
Beer-sheba even to Dan, that they should
come to keep the passover unto the
Lord God of Israel at Jerusalem: for
they had not done it of a long time in
such sort as it was written. So ^the 6
posts went with the letters 'from the
king and his princes throughout all Is-
rael and Judah, and according to the
commandment of the king, saying. Ye
children of Israel, stum again unto the
Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Is-
rael, and he will return to the remnant
of you, that are escaped out of the
7 hand of ''tiie kings of Assyria. And
'be not ye like your fathers, and like
your brethren, which trespassed against
the Lord God of their fathers, who
therefore ''gave them up to desolation,
8 as ye see. Now 'be ye not 'stifthecked,
as your fathers were, but 'yield your-
selves unto the Lord, and enter into
his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified
for ever: and ser\-e the Lord your God,
""that the fierceness of his wrath may
9 turn away from you. For if ye turn
again unto the Lord, your brethren
and your children shall find "compas-
sion before them that lead them cap-
tive, SO that they shall come again into
this land: for the Lord your God is
"gracious and p merciful, and will not
turn away his face from you, lif ye re-
loturn unto him. So ^the posts passed
from city to city through the country
of "^F.phraini and iNIanasseh even unto
Zebulun : but they laughed them to
11 scorn, and ^mocked them. Neverthe-
less divers of '.■\sher and Manasseh and
of Zebulun humbled themselves, and
12 came to Jerusalem. Also in Judah the
hand of God was to give them one
heart to do the commandment of the
king and of the princes, "by the word of
the Lord.
13 And there assembled at Jerusalem
much people to keep the feast of un-
leavened bread in the "second month,
14 a very great congregation. And they
arose and took away the ^altars that
were in Jerusalem, and all the altars
for incense took they away, and >cast
15 them into the brook Kidron. Then
they killed the passover on the four-
teenth day of the "second month: and
the priests and the Levites ^'were a-
shamed, and •''sanctified themselves, and
brought in the burnt offerings into the
16 house of the Lord. And they stood
in 'their place after their manner, ac-
cording to the law of Moses •'the man
of God : the priests sprinkled the blood,
which they received of the hand of the
17 Levites. For there jcerc many in the
congregation that were not sanctified :
therefore the Levites had the charge of
the killing of the passovers for every
one that was not clean, to sanctify them

unto the Lord. For a multitude of the is
people, evm '^many of Ephraim, and
Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had
not cleansed themselves, yet did they
eat the passover otherwise than ""it was
written. But Hezekiah prayed for them,
saying, The good Lord pardon every
one that '^prepareth his heart to seek 19
God, the Lord God of his fathers,
thougli /if be not cleansed according to
the purification of the sanctuary. And 20
the Lord hearkened to Hezekiah, and
healed the people. And the children 21
of Israel that were 'present at Jerusa-
lem kept the feast of unleavened bread
f seven days with great gladness: and
the Levites and the priests praised the
Lord day by day, singing with * loud
instruments unto the Lord. And Heze-22
kiah spake ' comfortably unto all the
Levites s that taught the good know-
ledge of the Lord: and they did eat
throughout the feast seven days, offer-
ing peace offering.s, and ''making con-
fession to the Lord God of their fathers.
And the whole assembly took counsel 23
to keep ' other seven days : and they
kept other seven days with gladness.
For Hezekiah king of Judah *did give 24
to the congregation a thousand bullocks
and seven thousand sheep ; and the
princes *gave to the congregation a
thousand bullocks and ten thousand
sheep: and a great number of priests
''sanctified themselves. And all the con- 25
gregation of Judah, with the priests and
the Levites, and all the congregation
' that came out of Israel, and the
strangers that came out of the land of
Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, re-
joiced. So there was great joy in Je-26
rusalem: for "> since the time of Solomon
the son of David king of Israel their
was not the like in Jerusalem. Then 27
"the priests the Levites arose and "bless-
ed the people: and their voice was heard,
and their prayer came /// to *his holy
dwelling place, a'e?i unto heaven.
Now when all this was finished, all
Israel tliat were 'present went out to
the cities of Judah, and ^ brake the
' images in pieces, and cut down the
groves, and threw down the high places
and the altars out of all Judah and
Benjamin, in Ephraim also and Ma-
nasseh, 'until they liad utterly destroyed
them all. Then all the children of Is-
rael returned, every man to his posses-
sion, into their own cities. And Heze- 2
kiah appointed "^the courses of the priests
and the Levites after their courses, every
man according to his service, the priests
and Levites '=for burnt offerings and for
peace offerings, to minister, and to give
thanks, and to praise in the gates of the
3 tents of the Lord. He appointed also
the king's portion of his substance for
the burnt oflerings, to wit, for the
'' morning and evening burnt offerings,
and the burnt offerings for the "-" sab-
baths, and for the ''new moons, and for
the 8 set feasts, as it is written in the
4 law of the Lord. Moreover he com-
manded the people that dwelt in Jeru-
salem to give the •'portion of the priests
and the Levites, that they might be
' encouraged in ' the law of the Lord.
5 And as soon as the commandment
' came abroad, the children of Israel
brought in abundance the firstfruits ''of
corn, wine, and oil, and "honey, and of
all the increase of the field; and the
tithe of all things brought they in
6 abundantly. And concerning the chil-
dren of Israel and Judah, that dwelt
in the cities of Judah, they also brought
in the tithe of o.xen and sheep, and
the ' tithe of holy things which were
consecrated unto the Lord their God,
7 and laid them ' by heaps. In the third
month they began to lay the foundation
of the heaps, and finished them in the
3 seventh month. And when Hezekiah
and the princes came and saw the
heaps, they blessed the Lord, and his
9 people Israel. Then Hezekiah ques-
tioned with the priests and the Levites
10 concerning the heaps. And "'Azariah
the chief priest of "the house of Zadok
answered him, and said. Since the peo-
ple began to bring the offerings into the
house of the Lord, we have had enough
to eat, and have left plenty: for °the
IjOrd hath blessed his people; and that
iiwliich is left is this great store. Then
Hezekiah commanded to prepare "cham-
bers in the house of the Lord ; and
12 they prepared //;(•///, and brought in Pthe
offerings and the tithes and <ithe dedi-
cate things faithfully: ■'over which Co-

in their 'set office, to give to their
brethren by courses, as well to the great
as to the small: beside their genealogy 16
of males, from three years old and up-
ward, a'cn unto ever)' one that entereth
into the house of the Lord, his J' daily
portion for their service in their charges
according to their courses ; both to the 17
genealogy of the priests by the house
of their fathers, and the Levites ^from
twenty years old and upward, in their
charges by their courses ; and to the 18
genealog)' of all their little ones, their
wives, and their sons, and their daughters,
through all the congregation : for in their
'set office they sanctified themselves ///
holiness: also of the sons of Aaron the 19
priests, 7c<hi<-h 7i.vre in ^the fields of the
suburbs of their cities, in every several
city, the men ''that were expressed by
name, to give portions to all the males
among the priests, and to all that were
reckoned by genealogies among the Le-
vites. And thus did Hezekiah through- 20
out all Judah, and '^wrought that which
7i>as good and right and truth before
the LoRii his God. And in every work 21
that he began in the service of the
house of God, and in the law, and in
the commandments, to seek his God,
he did // with all his heart, and pros-
pered.
■■•After these things, and the establish-
ment thereof, Sennacherib king of As-
syria came, and entered into Judah, and
encamped against the fenced cities, and
thought ' to win them for himself And 2
when Hezekiah saw that .Sennacherib
was come, and that 'he was purposed
to fight against Jerusalem, he took coun- 3
sel with his princes and his mighty men
to stop the waters of the fountains
which ■zc'e?r without the city : and they
did help him. So there was gathered 4
much people together, who stopt all
the fountains, and ''the brook that 'ran
through the midst of the land, saying,
Why should the kings of Assyria come,
and find much water? Also he strength- 5
ened himself, "^and built up all the wall
that was broken, and raised // up to the
towers, and another wall without, and
repaired ''Millo in the city of David,
and made 'darts and shields in abund-
6 ance. And he set captains of war over
the people, and gathered them together
to him in the street of the gate of the
city, and 'spake comfortably to them,
7 saying, ^Be strong and courageous, fbe
not afraid nor dismayed for the king of
Assyria, nor for all the multitude that
is with him : for s there be moe with us
sthan with him: with him is an ''arm of
flesh; but 'with us is the Lord our
God to help us, and to fight our bat-
tles. And the people * rested them-
selves upon the words of Hezekiah king
of Judah.
9 J After this did Sennacherib king of
Assyria send his servants to Jerusalem,
(but he himself hiid siege against La-
chish, and all his 'power with him.) unto
Hezekiah king of Judah, and unto all
Judah that 'were at Jerusalem, saying,
10 1^ Thus saith Sennacherib king of Assy-

Hezekiah ""persuade you to give over
yourselves to die by famine and by
thirst, saying, "The Lord our God shall
deliver us out of the hand of the king
12 of Assyria? °Hath not the same Heze-
kiah taken away his high places and his
altars, and commanded Judah and Je-
rusalem, saying. Ye shall worship before
one altar, and burn incense upon it ?
13 Know ye not what I and my fathers
have done unto all the people of other
lands? Pwere the gods of the nations
of those lands any ways able to deliver
14 their lands out of mine hand? PWho
was there among all the gods of those
nations that my fathers utterly destroyed,
that could deliver his people out of
mine hand, that your God should be
able to deliver you out of mine hand?
15 Now therefore let not Hezekiah 1 de-
ceive you, nor '"persuade you on this
manner, neither yet believe him : for no
god of any nation or kingdom was able
to deliver his people out of mine hand,
and out of the hand of my fathers : how
much less shall your God deliver you
16 out of mine hand? And ''his servants

of otiur lands have not delivered their
people out of mine hand, so shall not
the God of Hezekiah deliver his people
out of mine hand. Then they "cried 18
with a loud voice in the Jews' speech
unto the people of Jerusalem •''that were
on the wall, to affright them, and to
trouble them ; that they might take the
city. And they spake y against the God 19
of Jerusalem, as against the gods of the
people of the earth, rvhich loere ^the
work of the hands of man. And for 20
this mnsc ''Hezekiah the king, and ''the
prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz, prayed
and cried to heaven. ^And the Lord 21
sent an angel, which cut off all the
mighty men of valour, and the leaders
and captains in the camp of the king
of Assyria. So he returned with "^ shame
of face to his own land. And when he
was come into the house of his god,
they that came forth of his own bowels
'slew him there with the sword. Thus 22
the Lord saved Hezekiah and the in-
habitants of Jerusalem from the hand
of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and
from the hand of all other, and guided
them on every side. And many brought 23
^gifts unto the Lord to Jerusalem, and
'presents to Hezekiah king of Judah:
so that Hie was magnified in the sight of
all nations from thenceforth.
sin those days Hezekiah was sick to 24
the death, and prayed unto the Lord:
and he spake unto him, and he "gave
him ''a sign. But Hezekiah 'rendered 25
not again according to the benefit done
unto him; for ''his heart was lifted up:
therefore there was 'wrath upon him,
and upon Judah and Jerusalem. Not- 26
withstanding Hezekiah '"humbled him-
self for 'the [jride of his heart, both he
and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so
that the wrath of the Lord came not
upon them "in the days of Hezekiah.
And Hezekiah had exceeding much 27
riches and honour: and he made him-
self treasuries for silver, and for gold,
and for precious stones, and for spices,
and for shields, and for all manner of
'pleasant jewels; "storehouses also for 2s
the increase of corn, and wine, and oil;
and Pstalls for all manner (t/' beasts, and
cotes for flocks. Moreover he provided 29
him cities, and possessions of flocks and
herds in abundance: for God had given
him sul)stance very much. iThis .same 30
Hezekiah also stojjped the upper 'water-
course of ^Gihon, and brought it straight
down to the west side of the city of Da-
vid. And Hezekiah prospered in all his
31 works. Howbeit in the business of the
'ambassadors of the princes of Babylon,
'who sent unto him to inquire of the
"wonder that was done in the land, God
left him, "to try him, that he might know
32 all that was in his heart. Now the rest
of the acts of Hezekiah, and his 'good-
ness, behold, they are written in ^the
vision of Isaiah the prophet, the son of
Amoz, and in the ^book of the kings of
33 Judah and Israel. ^And Hezekiah slept
with his fathers, and they buried him in
the "chiefest of the sepulchres of the
sons of David: and all Judah and the
inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honour
at his death. And Manas.seh his son
reigned in his stead.
Manasseh '^7cas twelve years old when
he began to reign, and he reigned fifty
'2 and five years in Jerusalem : but did thai
which 7vas evil in the sight of the Lord,
like unto the abominations of the hea-
then, whom the Lord had cast out before
3 the children of Israel. For 'he built
again the high places which Hezekiah his
father had broken down, and he reared
up altars for Baalim, and made groves,
and worshipped all the host of heaven,
4 and served them. Also he built altars
in the house of the Lord, whereof the
Lord had said. In Jerusalem shall my
s name be for ever. And he built altars
for all the host of hea\-en in the two
6 courts of the house of the Lord. And
he caused his children to pass through
the fire in ''the valley of the son of Hin-
nom : also he observed times, and used
enchantments, and "^used witchcraft, and
dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wiz-
ards : he wrought much e\il in the sight
of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.
7 And he set a carved image, ''the idol
which he had made, in tlie house of
God, of which God had said to David
and to Solomon his son, In this house,
and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen
before all the tribes of Israel, will I put
8 my name for ever: neither will I any
more remove the foot of Israel from out
of the land which I have appointed for
your fathers; so that they will take heed
to do all that I have commanded them,
according to the whole law and the sta-
tutes and the ordinances by the hand
9 of Moses. So Manasseh made Judah
and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err.
and to do worse than the heathen, whom

the Lord had destroyed before the chil-
dren of Israel.
And the Lord spake to Manasseh, lo
and to his people: but they would not
hearken. Wherefore "^the Lord brought h
upon them the captains of the host 'of
the king of Assyria, which took Manas-
seh among the ^thorns, and bound him
with 'fetters, and s carried him to Baby-
lon. And when he was in affliction, he 12
•> besought the Lord his God, and 'hum-
bled himself greatly before the God of
his fathers, and prayed unto him: and 13
he ''was intreated of him, and heard his
supplication, and brought him again to
Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Ma-
nasseh 'knew that the Lord he was
God. Now after this he built a wall 14
without the city of David, on the west
side of '"Gihon, in the valley, even to
the entering in at the "fish gate, and
compassed about 'Ophel, and raised it
up a very great height, and put captains
of war in all the fenced cities of Judah.
And he took away the "strange gods, 15
and the Pidol out of the house of the
Lord, and all the altars that he had
built in the mount of the house of the
Lord, and in Jerusalem, and cast t/iem
out of the city. And he repaired the 16
altar of the Lord, and sacrificed thereon
peace offerings and 1 thank offerings, and
commanded Judah to serve the Lord
God of Israel. Nevertheless ''the peo- 17
pie did sacrifice still in the high places,
jii unto the Lord their God only. Now is
the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and
^his prayer unto his God, and the words
of Uhe seers that spake to him in the
name of the Lord God of Israel, be-
hold, they are written in the book of
the kings of "Israel. ^His prayer also, 19
and hoic' God •'was intreated of him,
and all his sin, and his trespass, and
•'^the places wherein he built high places,
and set up groves and graven images,
before he 'was humbled: behold, they
are written among the sayings of ' ' the
seers. So Manasseh slept with his fa- 20
thers, and they buried him >/;/ his own
house : and Anion his son reigned in
his stead.
^Amon was two and twenty years old 21
when he began to reign, and reigned two
years in Jerusalem. But he did thai ^1
which was evil in the sight of the Lord,
as did Manasseh his father: for Anion
sacrificed unto all ='the carved images
which Manasseh his father had made,
23 and served them; and humbled not him-
self before the Lord, ""as Manasseh his
father had humbled himself; but Anion
24* trespassed more and more. And his
servants conspired against him, and slew
25 him in his own house. But the people
of the land slew all them that had con-
spired against king Amon; and the peo-
ple of the land made Josiali his son
king in his stead.
Josiah '^was eight years old when he
began to reign, and he reigned in Jeru-
2 saleni one and thirty years. And he
did that which 7vas right in the sight of
the Lord, and walked in the ways of
David his fither, and declined neither
•Jo the right hand, nor to the left. For
in the eighth year of his reign, while he
was yet young, he began to ''seek after
the God of David his father: and in the
twelfth year he began to purge Judah
and Jerusalem "^froni the high places,
and tlie gro\es, and the carved images,
4 and the ''molten images. 'And they
brake down the altars of Baalim in his
presence; and the 'images, that laere on
high above them, he cut down ; and the
groves, and the carved images, and the
molten images, he brake in pieces, and
made dust of them, and strowed // fupon
the 'graves of them that had sacrificed
5 unto them. And he s burnt the bones
of the priests upon their altars, and
6 cleansed Judah and Jerusalem. And so
did he in the cities of '"Manasseh, and
Ephraim, and Simeon, even unto Naph-
tali, with their 'mattocks round about.
7 And when he had broken down the al-
tars and the groves, and had 'beaten
the graven images ' into powder, and cut
down all the J idols throughout all the
land of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem.
3 Now •'in the eighteenth year of his
reign, when he had purged the land,
and the house, he sent 'Shaphan the
son of Azaliah, and "'Maaseiah the "go-
vernor of the city, and Joah the son of
Joahaz "the recorder, to repair the house
9 of the Lord his God. And when they
came to ^Hilkiah the high priest, they
delivered the money that was brought
into the house of God, which the Levites
that kept the doors had gathered of the
hand of ''Manasseh and Ephraim, and
of all the remnant of Israel, and of all
Judah and Benjamin; and they returned
,o/tf Jerusalem. And they put // in the
hand of the workmen that had the over-
sight of the house of the Lord, and

they gave it to the workmen that wrought
in the house of the Lord, to repair and
mend the house: even to the artificers n
and builders gave they //, to buy hewn
stone, and timber for 1 couplings, and
"to floor the houses which the kings of
Judah had destroyed. And the men 12
did the work faithfully: and the over-
seers of them were Jahath and Obadiah,
the Levites, of the sons of "'Merari; and
^Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons
of the ■'Kohathites, 'to set it forward;
and other of the Levites, all that could
skill of instruments of musick. Also 13
they were over "the bearers of burdens,
and were 'overseers of all that wrought
the work in any manner of service: and
of the Levites there were * scribes, and
y officers, and porters.
And when they brought out the mo- 14
ney that was brought into the house of
the Lord, Hilkiah the priest found a
book of the law of the Lord given 'by
Moses. And Hilkiah ^answered and 15
said to Shaphan the scribe, I have found
the book of the law in the house of the
Lord. And Hilkiah delivered the book
to Shaphan. And .Shaphan carried the 16
book to the king, and brought the king
word back again, saying. All that was
committed 'to thy servants, they do it.
And they have 'gathered together the 17
money that was found in the house of
the Lord, and have delivered it into the
hand of the overseers, and to the hand
of the workmen. Then Shaphan the is
scribe told the king, saying, Hilkiah the
priest hath given me a book. And Sha-
phan read 'it before the king. And it 19
came to pass, when the king had heard
the words of the law, that he rent his
clothes. And the king commanded Hil- 20
kiah, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan,
and 'Abdon the son of jMicah, and Sha-
phan the scribe, and Asaiah a servant
of the king's, saying. Go, inquire of the 21
Lord for me, and for them that are left
in Israel and in Judah, concerning the
words of the book that is found : for
great is the wrath of the Lord that is
poured out upon us, because our fathers
have not kept the word of the Lord, to
do after all that is written in this book.
And Hilkiah, and they that the king had 22
appointed, went to Huldah the prophet-
ess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tik-
vath, the son of ' Hasrah, keeper of the
'wardrobe; (now .she dwelt in Jerusalem
"in the college:) and they spake to her
=3 to that effeet. And she answered them,
Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Tell
24 ye the man that sent you to me. Thus
saith the Lord, Behold, I will bring evil
upon this place, and upon the inhabit-
ants thereof, ei<en all the curses that are
written in the book which they have
25 read before the king of Judah : because
they have forsaken me, and have burned
incense unto other gods, that they might
provoke me to anger with all the works
of their hands; therefore ^my wrath shall
be poured out upon this place, and shall
26 not be quenched. And as for the king
of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the
Lord, so shall ye say unto him, Thus
saith the I-ord God of Israel eoiieeniing
27 the words which thou hast heard ; Be-
cause thine heart was tender, and thou
didst humble thyself before God, when
thou heardest his words against this
place, and against the inhabitants there-
of, and humbledst thyself before me,
and didst rend thy clothes, and weep
before me ; I have even heard thee also,
23 saith the Lord. Behold, I will gather
thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be
gathered to thy grave in peace, neither
shall thine eyes see all the evil that I
will bring upon this place, and upon
the inhabitants of the same. So they
brought the king word again.
=9 ''Then the king sent and gathered to-
gether all the elders of Judah and Jeru-
3osalem. And the king went up into the
house of the Lord, and all the men of
Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
and the priests, and the Levites, and all
the people, 'great and small: and he
read in their ears all the words of the
book of the covenant that was found in
31 the house of the Lord. And the king
■^ stood in his place, and made a cove-
nant before the Lord, to walk after the
Lord, and to keep his commandments,
and his testimonies, and his statutes,
with all his heart, and with all his soul,
to perform the words of the covenant
32 which are written in this book. And he
caused all that were 'present in Jerusa-
lem and Benjamin to stand ^to it. And
the inhabitants of Jerusalem did accord-
ing to the covenant of God, the God of
33 their fathers. And Josiah took aw'ay all
the abominations out of all the countries
that pertained to the children of Israel,
and made all that were 'present in Is-
rael to serve, even to serve the Lord
their God. And all his days they de-

parted not 'from following the Lord, the
God of their fathers.
Moreover ^Josiah kept a passover unto
the Lord in Jerusalem: and they killed
the passover on the ''fourteenth day of
the first month. And he set the priests 2
in their charges, and '^encouraged them
to the service of the house of the Lord,
and said unto the Levites ''tliat taught all 3
Israel, which were holy unto the Lord,
•^Put the holy ark fin the house which
Solomon the son of David king of Israel
did buikl; ^ it shall not be a burden upon
your shoulders : serve now the Lord your
God, and his people Israel, and prepare 4
yourselves '^hj the houses of your fathers,
after your courses, according to the
'writing of David king of Israel, and ac-
cording to the ''writing of Solomon his
son. And 'stand in the \o\y place -xc- 5
cording to the "'divisions of 'the families
of the fathers of your brethren 'the peo-
ple, and after the division of the families
of the Levites. So kill the passover, and 6
".sanctify yourselves, and prepare your
brethren, that they may do according to
the word of the Lord by the hand of
Moses. And Josiah 'gave to the peo- 7
pie, (^ the flock, lambs and kids, all for
the "passover offerings, for all that were
present, to the number of thirty thou-
sand, and three thousand bullocks: these
7wn' of P the king's substance. And his s
princes 'gave willingly unto the people,
to the priests, and to the Levites: iHil-
kiah and ''Zechariah and Jehiel, rulers
of the house of God, gave unto the
priests for the "passover offerings two
thousand and six hundred ^small cattle,
and three hundred o.\en. "Conaniah y
also, and "Shemaiah and Nethaneel, his
brethren, and Hashabiaii and Jeiel and
Jozabad, chief of the Levites, 'gave unto
the Levites for "passover offerings five
thousand ^small cattle, and five hundred
oxen. So the service was prepared, and 10
the priests •''stood in their place, and the
Levites ^in their courses, according to
the king's commandment. And ^theyn
killed the passover, and the priests sprin-
kled ^//;f blood from their hands, and ''the
I-evites flayed the?ii. And they removed 12
the burnt offerings, that they might give
according to the divisions of the families
of the people, to offer unto the Lord,
as it is written in the book of Moses.
And so did they with the oxen. And 13
they '^roasted the passover with fire ac-
cording to the ordinance: but the other
holy offerings <=sod they in "^pots, and in
*= caldrons, and in fpans, and 'divided
them speedily among all the people.
14 And afterward they made ready for
themselves, and for the priests: because
the priests tiie sons of Aaron were busied
in offering of burnt offerings and fthe
fat until night; therefore the Levites pre-
pared for themselves, and for the priests
15 the sons of Aaron. And the singers the
sons of Asaph luere in their 'place, ac-
cording to the commandment of s Da-
vid, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jedu-
thun the king's ''seer; and 'the porters
waited at every gate; they might not de-
part from their service; "for their breth-
16 ren the Levites prepared for them. So
all the service of the Lord was prepared
the same day, to keep the passover, and
to oft'er burnt off"erings upon the altar of
the Lord, according to the command-
i7ment of king Josiah. And the children
of Israel that were 'present kept the
passover at that time, and the feast of
i3^ unleavened bread seven days. And
''there was no passover like to that, kept
in Israel from the days of 'Samuel the
prophet; neither did all the kings of ""Is-
rael keep such a passover as Josiah
kept, and the priests, and the Levites,
and all Judah and Israel that were 'pre-
sent, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
19 In the eighteenth year of the reign of
Josiah was this passover kept.
20 "After all this, when Josiah had pre-
pared the 'temple, Necho king of Egypt
came up to fight against "Carchemish by
Euphrates: and Josiah went out against
21 him. But he sent ambassadors to him, .say-
ing, PWhat have I to do with thee, thou
king of Judah? /come not against thee
this day, but against 'the house where-
with I have war: for God commanded
me to make haste: 1 forbear thee from
meddling with God, who is with me,
22 that he destroy thee not. Nevertheless
Josiah would not ■'turn his face from him,
but ^disguised himself, that he might
fight with him, and hearkened not unto
the words of Necho 'from the mouth of
God, and came to fight in the >' valley of
23"Megiddo. And the archers shot at
king Josiah; and the king said to his
servants. Have me away; for I am sore
24 ' wounded. "^ His servants therefore took
liim out of that chariot, and put him in
the second chariot that he had; and
they brought him to Jerusalem, and he
died, and was buried "in one of the se-

pulchres of his fathers. And all Judah
and Jerusalem ymourned for Josiah.
And Jeremiah ^lamented for Josiah: and 25
all ^the singing men and the singing 7uo-
men spake of Josiah in their lamenta-
tions to this day, and made them ''an
ordinance in Israel: and behold, they
are written in the lamentations. Now 26
the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his
•goodness, according to that which was
written in the law of the Lord, antl 27
his deeds, "^first and last, behold, they
are written in the book of the kings of
Israel and Judah.
Then =the people of the land took
Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made
him king in his father's stead in Jerusa-
lem. Jehoahaz was twenty and three 2
years old when he began to reign, and
he reigned three months in Jerusalem.
And the king of Egypt 'put him down 3
at Jerusalem, and 'condemned the land
m an hundred talents of silver and a ta-
lent of gold. And the king of Egypt 4
made Eliakim his brother king over Ju-
dah and Jerusalem, and turned his name
to Jehoiakira. And Necho took Jehoahaz
his brother, and carried him to Egypt.
•'Jehoiakim was twenty and five years 5
old when he began to reign, and he
reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and
he did that which Kias evil in the sight
of the Lord his God. ■= Against him 6
came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Baby-
lon, and bound him in ''fetters, to <^carry
him to Babylon. ■= Nebuchadnezzar also 7
carried of the vessels of the house of the
Lord to Babylon, and put them in his
temple at Babylon, f Now the rest of the 8
acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations
which he did, and that which was found in
him, behold, they are written in the book
of the kings of Israel and Judah: and
"Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.
Bjehoiachin jiwj- ''eight years old when 9
he began to reign, and he reigned three
months and ten days in Jerusalem: and
he did that which was evil in the sight
of the Lord. And 'when the year was m
expired, 'king Nebuchadnezzar sent, and
brought him to Babylon, '^with the 'good-
ly vessels of the house of the Lord, and
made ''Zedekiah his brother king over
Judah and Jerusalem.
"'Zedekiah was one and twenty years n
old when he began to reign, and reigned
eleven years in Jerusalem. And he did 12
that which loas evil in the sight of the
Lord his God, and humbled not himself
before "Jeremiah the prophet speaking
13 from the mouth of the Lord. And he
also "rebelled against king Nebuchadnez-
zar, Pwho had made him swear by God:
but he "istiflened his neck, and ''hardened
his heart from turning unto the Lord
14 God of Israel. Moreover all the chief of
the priests, and the people, ^transgressed
very much after all the abominations of
the heathen : and polluted the house of
the Lord which he had hallowed in Je-
15 rusalem. And the Lord (iod of their
fathers 'sent to them 'by his messengers,
rising up "betimes, and sending; because
he had compassion on his people, and on
16 his dwelling place: but they "mocked
the messengers of God, and ''despised his
words, and >' misused his prophets, until
''the wrath of the Lord arose against his
izpeople, till//;(7rK'(?j-no 'remedy. ^There-
fore he brought upon them the king of the
Chaldees, who ''slew theiryoung men with
the sword in the house of their sanctu-
ary, and had no compassion upon young
man or maiden, old man, or "^him that
stooped for age: he gave them all into
ishis hand. And "^all the vessels of the
house of God, great and small, and the
treasures of the house of the Lord, and
the treasures of the king, and of his
princes ; all these he brought to Babylon.
19'= And they burnt the house of God, and
brake down the wall of Jerusalem, and
burnt all the fpalaces thereof with fire,
and destroyed all the sgoodly vessels
20 thereof And "'them that had escaped
from the sword carried he away to Ba-
bylon; where 'they were servants to him
and his sons until ''the reign of the king-
21 dom of Persia: to fulfil the word of the
Lord by the mouth of 'Jeremiah, until
"'the land had enjoyed her sabbaths :/i;;'
as long as she lay desolate " she kept sab-
bath, to fulfil threescore and ten years.
22 "Now in the first year of Cyrus king of
Persia, that the word of the Lord spoken
by the mouth of Jeremiah might be ac-
complished, the Lord stirred up the
spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he
made a proclamation throughout all his
kingdom, and //// it also in writing, say-
=3 ing. Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, All
the kingdoms of the earth hath the Lord
God of heaven given me; and he hath
charged me to build him a house in Je-
rusalem, which is in Judah. ys\\o is there
among you of all his people ? The Lord
his God be with him, and let him go up.

IVJOW in the first year of Cyrus king
-l- ^ of Persia, that the word of the Lord
=by the mouth of Jeremiah might be ful-
filled, the Lord stirred up the spirit of
Cyrus king of Persia, ''that he *niade a
proclamation throughout all his kingdom,
and put it also in writing, saying, Thus ;
saith Cyrus king of Persia, The Lord
God of heaven hath given me all the
kingdoms of the earth ; and he hath
■^charged me to build him a house at Je-
rusalem, which is in Judah. Who is there ;
among you of all his people? his God
be with him, and let him go up to Jeru-
salem, which is in Judah, and build the
house of the Lord God of Israel, (''he
is the God,) which is in Jerusalem. And ^
whosoever remaineth in any place where
he sojourneth, let the men of his place
'help him with silver, and with gold, and
with goods, and with beasts, besides the
freewill offering for the house of God
that is in Jerusalem.
Then rose up the chief of the fathers 5
of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests,
and the Levites, with all them whose
spirit ^God had f raised, to go up to build
the house of the Lord which is in Jeru-
salem. And all they that -were about 6
them 'strengthened their hands with ves-
sels of silver, with gold, with goods, and
with beasts, and with sprecious things,
beside all ///(7/ was willingly offered. ""Also 7
Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels
of the house of the Lord, 'which Nebu-
chadnezzar had brought forth out of
Jerusalem, and had put them in the
house of his gods; even those did C)tus s
king of Persia bring forth J by the hand
of ''Mithredath the 'treasurer, and num-
bered them unto "Sheshbazzar, the prince
of Judah. And this is the number of 9
them: thirty chargers of gold, a thou-

his place : they gave after their ability 6g
unto the 'treasureof the work "threescore
and one thousand "drams of go\A, and
five thousand "pound of silver, and one
hundred priests' garmen ts. So the priests, ^o
and the Levites, and some of the people,
and the singers, and the porters, and the
Nethinims, dwelt in their cities, and all
Israel in their cities.
^And when the seventh month was
come, and the children of Israel lacre in
the cities, the people gathered them-
selves together as one man to Jerusalem.
Then stood up 'Jeshua the son of Joza- 2
dak, and his brethren the priests, and
'Zerubbabel the son of "Shealtiel, and his
brethren, and builded the altar of the
God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings
thereon, as it is ''written in the law of
Moses '^the man of God. And they set 3
the altar upon his bases ; for fear was
upon them because of the people of
those countries: and they offered burnt
offerings thereon unto the Lord, even
"^ burnt offerings morning and evening.
They kept also the '^ feast of tabernacles, 4
fas it is \vritten, and offered ethe daily
burnt offerings by number, according to
the custom, 'as the duty of every day
required ; and afterward offered the ''con- 5
tinual burnt offering, both 'of the new
moons, and of all the ''set feasts of the
Lord that were consecrated, and of every
one that willingly offered a freewill offer-
ing unto the Lord. From the first day 6
of the 'seventh month began they to offer
burnt offerings unto the Lord. But 'the
foundation of the temple of the Lord
was not yet laid. They gave money also 7
unto the masons, and to the "carpenters;
and ""meat, and drink, and oil, unto
them of Zidon, and to them of Tyre,
to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to
the sea of "Joppa, "according to the
grant that they had of Cyrus king of
Persia.
Now in the second year of their com- s
ing unto the house of God at Jerusalem,
in the second month, began PZerubbabel
the son of Shealtiel, and Pjeshua the son
of Jozadak, and the remnant of their bre-
thren the priests and the Levites, and
all they that were come out of the capti-
vity unto Jerusalem; and appointed the
Levites from 1 twenty years old and up-
ward, ■'to set forward the work of the
house of the Lord. Then stood ^Je- 9
shua until his sons and his brethren,
^Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of "Ju-
dah, 'together, 'to set forward the work-
men in the house of God : the sons of
' Henadad, with their sons and their bre-
10 thren the Levites. And when the build-
ders laid the foundation of the temple of
the Lord, they set the priests "in their
apparel with "trumpets, and the Levites
the sons of Asaph with -^cymbals, to praise
the Lord, >' after the ordinance of David
11 king of Israel. And they ^sung together
by course in praising and giving thanks
unto the Lord; -'because he is good, for
his 'msjoj endureth for ever towards Israel.
And all the people shouted with a great
shout, when they praised the Lord, be-
cause the foundation of the house of the
12 Lord was laid. But many of the priests
and Levites and chief of the fathers, 7(jho
were ancient men ''that had seen the first
house, when the foundation of this house
was laid before their eyes, wept with a
loud voice ; and many shouted aloud for
13 joy: so that the people could not dis-
cern the noise of the shout of joy from
the noise of the weeping of the people :
for the people shouted with a loud shout,
and the noise was heard afar off.
Now 7uhen ^the adversaries of Judah
and Benjamin heard that 'the children
of the captivity builded the temple unto
2 the Lord God of Israel; then they came
to Zerubbabel, and to the chief of the
fathers, and said unto them. Let us build
with you : for we seek your God, as ye
do ; and we do sacrifice unto him ''since
the days of Esar-haddon king of Assur,
3 which brought us up hither. But Zerub-
babel, and Jeshua, and the rest of the
chief of the fathers of Israel, said unto
them, "^ You have nothing to do w-ith us
''to build a house unto our God; but we
ourselves together will build unto the
Lord God of Israel, as «king Cyrus the
4 king of Persia hath commanded us. Then
fthe people of the land s weakened the
hands of the people of Judah, and trou-
5 bled them in building, and hired coun-
sellers against them, to ''frustrate their
]nirpose, all the days of Cyrus king of
Persia, even until the reign of Darius
eking of Persia. And in the reign of
' Ahasuerus, in the beginning of his reign,
wrote they unto him an 'accusation a-
gainst the inhabitants of Judah and Jeru-
7salem. And in the days of Artaxer.xes
\\Tote • Bishlam, ^ Mithredath, Tabeel, and
the rest of their 'companions, unto Ar-
. taxerxes king of Persia ; and the wTiting
of ''the letter was written 'in the Syrian

* Reliiim the chancellor and Shimshai s
the 'scribe wrote a letter against Jeru-
salem to Artaxerxes the king in this
sort: then wrote Rehum the chancellor, 9
and Shimshai the scribe, and the rest
of their 'companions; '"the Dinaites, the
"Apharsathchites, the Tarpelites, the "A-
pharsites, the Archevites, the Babylo-
nians, the "Susanchites, the Dehavites,
and the p Elamites, and the rest of the 10
nations whom the great and noble
"JAsnappar brought over, and set in the
cities of ■■ Samaria, and the rest that are
on this side the river, ^and 'at such a
time. This is the copy of the letter n
that they sent unto him, even unto Ar-
taxerxes the king:
Thy servants the men on this side the
river, and at such a time. Be it known 12
unto the king, that the Jews which
came up from thee to us are come unto
Jerusalem, building the rebellious and
the bad city, and have "set up the walls
thereof, and 'joined the foundations. Be 13
it known now unto the king, that, if
this city be builded, and the walls set
up again, then will they not 'pay 'toll,
tribute, and custom, and so thou shalt
endamage the "revenue of the kings.
Now because * we have maintenance 14
from the kings palace, and // was not
meet for us to see the king's dishonour,
therefore have we sent and certified the
king ; that search may be made in the 15
book of the records of thy fathers : so
shalt thou find in the book of the re-
cords, and know that this city is a re-
bellious city, and hurtful unto kings and
provinces, and that they have 'moved
sedition 'within the same of old time:
for which eaiise was this city destroyed.
We certify the king that, if this city be 16
builded a.i^ain, and the walls thereof set
up, by this means thou shalt have no
portion on this side the river.
Then sent the king an answer unto 17
Rehum the chancellor, and to Shimshai
the scribe, and to the rest of their ' com-
panions that dwell in Samaria, and nnto
the rest beyond the river:
"Peace, and at such a time. The is
letter which ye sent unto us hath
been ''plainly read before me. And *Ii9
commanded, and search hath been made,
and it is found that this city of old time
hath • made insurrection against kings,
and Mff/ rebellion and sedition have been
20 made therein. There have been mighty
kings also over Jerusalem, which have
y ruled over all countries beyond the
river; and 'toll, tribute, and custom, 7oas
21 paid unto them. 'Give ye now com-
mandment to cause these men to cease,
and that this city be not builded, until
another commandment shall be *gi\en
22 from me. Take heed now that ye fail
not to do this : why should damage
grow to the hurt of the kings?
23 Now when the copy of king Arta-
xerxes' letter 7vas read before Rehum,
and Shimshai the scribe, and their com-
panions, they went up in haste to Jeru-
salem unto the Jews, and made them
24 to cease 'by force and power. Then
ceased the work of the house of the
God which is at Jerusalem. So it ceased
unto the second year of the reign of
Darius king of Persia. Then the jjro-
phets, "Haggai the prophet, and ''Ze-
chariah the son of Iddo, prophesied
unto the Jews that zmre in Judah and
Jerusalem in the name of the God of
2 Israel, even unto them. Then rose up
■^Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and
•^Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and began
to build the house of God which is at
Jerusalem: and with them were the pro-
phets of God helping them.
3 At the same time came to them
''Tatnai, governor on this side the river,
and Shethar-boznai, and their compa-
nions, and said thus unto them, «\\'ho
hath commanded you to build this
4 house, and to make up this wall? Then
said we unto them '^ after this manner.
What are the names of the men 'that
5 make this building? But sthe eye of
their God was upon the elders of the
Jews, that they could not cause them
to cease, till the matter came to Darius:
and then they ''returned answer by let-
6ter concerning this matter. The copy
of the letter that Tatnai, governor en
this side the river, and Shethar-boznai,
and his conii)anions the 'Apharsachites,
which 7vere on this side the river, sent
7 unto Darius the king: they sent a letter
unto him, 'wherein was written thus;
8 Unto Darius the king, all peace. Be
it known unto the king, that we went
into the province of Judea, to the house
of the great God, which is builded rc/M
'great stones, and timber is laid in the
walls, and this work goeth fast on, and
gprospereth in their hands. Then asked
we those elders, and said unto them

thus, ''Who commanded you to build
this house, and to make up these walls?
We asked their names also, to certify 10
thee, that we might write the names
of the men that ^ct-re the chief of them.
And thus they returned us answer, say-n
ing. We are the servants of the God
of heaven and earth, and build the
house that was builded these many
years ago, which a great king of Israel
builded 'and set up. But "'after that 12
our fathers had provoked the God of
heaven unto wrath, he gave them into
the hand of "Nebuchadnezzar the king
of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroy-
ed this house, and carried the people
away into Babylon. But in the first 13
year of "Cyrus the king of Babylon f/ie
same king Cyrus made a decree to build
this house of God. And Pthe vessels 14
also of gold and silver of the house of
God, which Nebuchadnezzar took out
of the temple that ioas in Jerusalem,
and brought them into the temple of
Babylon, those did Cyrus the king take
out of the temple of Babylon, and they
ft'cvr delivered unto o!it\ whose name
was "iSheshbazzar, whom he had made
"governor; and said unto him. Take ij
the.se vessels, go, carry them into the
temple that is in Jerusalem, and let the
house of God be builded in his place.
Then came the same Sheshbazzar, ami 16
"■laid the foundation of the house of
God which is in Jerusalem: and since
that time even until now /latk it been
in building, and ^yet it is not finished.
Now therefore, if it seem good to the 17
king, 'let there be search made in the
king's treasure house, which is there at
Babylon, whether it be so, that a decree
7cias made of Cyrus the king to build
this house of God at Jenisalem, and let
the king send his pleasure to us con-
cerning this matter.
Then Darius the king made a decree,
»and search was made in the house of
the * rolls, where the treasures were 'laid
up in Babylon. And there was found 2
at ''"Achmetha, in <^the palace that is in
the province of the "'Medes, a roll, and
therein icas a record thus written :
In the first year of Cyrus the king t/ie 3
same Cyrus the king made a decree coii-
ceniini; the house of God at Jerusalem,
Let the house be builded, the place
where they offered sacrifices, and /ct the
foundations thereof ^f strongly laid ; the
height thereof threescore cubits, ami the
4 breadth thereof threescore cubits; ^wit/i
three rows of great stones, and a row
of new timber: and let the expences be
5 given out of the king's house: and also
let ""the golden and silver vessels of the
house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar
took forth out of the temple which is at
Jerusalem, and brought unto Babylon,
be restored, and 'brought again unto the
temple which is at Jerusalem, e-vry one
to his place, and place t/iem in the house
6 of God. Now therefore, sTatnai, go-
vernor beyond the river, Shethar-boznai,
and 'your companions the ''Apharsach-
ites, which are beyond the river, be ye
7 far from thence: let the work of this
house of God alone; let the governor
of the Jews and the elders of the Jews
build this house of God in his place.
3 Moreover ' I make a decree what ye
shall do to the elders of these Jews for
the building of this house of God : that
of the king's 'goods, even of the ''tribute
beyond the river, forthwith ex[)ences be
given unto these men, that tliey be not
9 'hindered. And that which tliey have
need of, both young bullocks, and rams,
and lambs, for the burnt ofterings of the
God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and
oil, according to the appointment of
the priests which are at Jerusalem, let
// be given them day by day without
10 fail: that they may offer sacrifices 'of
sweet savours unto the God of heaven,
and 'pray for the life of the king, and
II of his sons. Also I have made a de-
cree, that whosoever shall alter this
word, let timber be pulled down from
his house, and being set up, 'let him be
hanged thereon; and let his house be
12 made "a dunghill for this. And the
God that "hath caused his name to
dwell there destroy all kings and peo-
ple, that shall put to their hand to alter
and to destroy this house of God which
is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a
decree; let it be done with speed.
r3 Then Tatnai, governor on tliis side
the river, Shethar-boznai, and their com-
panions, according to that which Darius
the king had sent, so they did speedily.
[4 And "the elders of the Jews builded,
and they prospered through the pro[)he-
sying of Haggai the prophet and Zecha-
riah the son of Iddo. And they build-
ed, and finished //, according to the
'commandment of the God of Israel,

king of Persia. And this house was 15
finished on the third day of the month
^Adar, which 7iias in the sixth year of
the reign of Darius the king. And the 16
children of Israel, the priests, and the
Levites, and the rest of 'the children of
the captivity, kept ' the dedication of
this house of God with joy, and offered 17
at the dedication of this house of God
an hundred bullocks, two hundred rams,
four hundred lambs; and "for a sin of-
fering for all Israel, twelve he goats,
according to the number of the tribes
of Israel. And they set the priests in is
their ''divisions, and the Levites in their
^courses, for the service of God, which
is at Jerusalem; '^as it is written in the
book of Moses.
*And the children of the captivity kept 19
the passover "upon the fourteenth day
of the first month. For the priests and 20
the Levites were '^purified together, all
of them were jiure, and ''killed the pass-
over for all the children of the cap-
tivity, and for their brethren the priests,
and for themselves. And the children of 21
Israel, which were come again out of cap-
tivity, and "^all such as had separated
themselves unto them from the ''filthi-
ness of the heathen of the land, to seek
the Lord God of Israel, did eat, and 22
kept the feast of unleavened bread '^ seven
days with joy : for the Lord had made
them joyful, and fturned the heart of
sthe king of Assyria unto them, to
strengthen their hands in the work of
the house of God, the God of Israel.
Now after these things, in the reign
of •'' Artaxerxes king of Persia, Ezra •'the
son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the
son of Hilkiah, the son of Shallum, the 2
son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub, the 3
son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the
son of Meraioth, the son of Zerahiah, 4
the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki, the 5
son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas,
the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron
the chief priest : this Ezra went up from e
Babylon; and he was "^a ready scribe in
the law of Moses, which the Lord God
of Israel had given : and the king grant-
ed him all his request, ''according to
the hand of the Lord his God upon
him. And there went up soine of the 7
= children of Israel, and of the priests,
and fthe Levites, and the singers, and
the porters, and sthe Nethinims, unto
Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Arta-
8 xerxes the king. And he came to Jeru-
salem in the fifth month, which 7vas in
9 the seventh year of the king. For upon
the first day of the first month 'began
he to go up from Babylon, and on the
first day of the fifth month came he to
Jerusalem, •'according to the good hand
10 of his God upon him. For Ezra 'had
prepared his heart to seek the law of
the Lord, and to do //, and to ''teach
11 in Israel statutes and judgments. Now
this is the copy of the letter that the
king Arta.xerxes gave unto Ezra the
priest, the scribe, ei'en a scribe of the
words of the commandments of the
Lord, and of his statutes to Israel.
12 * Artaxerxes, 'king of kings, "unto Ezra
the priest, a scribe of the law of the
God of heaven, perfect peace, "'and at
13 such a time. "I make a decree, that
all they of the people of Israel, and of
his priests and Levites, in my realm,
which arc minded of their own freewill
to go up to Jerusalem, go with thee.
14 Forasmuch as thou <7;-/sent 'of the king,
and of his "seven counsellers, to inquire
concerning Judah and Jerusalem, ac-
cording to the law of thy God which is
15 in thine hand ; and to carry the silver
and gold, which the king and his "coun-
sellers have freely oflered unto the God
of Israel, Pwhose habitation is in Jeru-
16 salem, land all the silver and gold that
thou canst find in all the province of
Babylon, with the freewill oftering of the
people, and of the priests, 'ofi'ering wil-
lingly for the house of their God which
IT is in Jerusalem: that thou mayest buy
speedily with this money bullocks, rams,
lambs, with their ^meat offerings and
their 'drink offerings, and "offer them
upon the altar of the house of your
18 God which is in Jerusalem. And what-
soever shall seem good to thee, and to
thy brethren, to do with the rest of
the silver and gold, ihat do after the
ig will of your God. The vessels also that
are given thee for the ser\ice of the
house of thy God, those deliver thou
=o before the God of Jerusalem. And
whatsoever more sliall be needful for the
house of thy God, which thou shalt
have occasion to bestow, bestow // out
21 of the king's treasure house. And I,
even I Artaxerxes the king, do "make
a decree to all the treasurers which are
beyond the river, that whatsoever Ezra
the priest, the scribe of the law of the
God of heaven, shall require of you, it

may judge all the people that are be-
yond the river, all such as know the
laws of thy God; and "^ teach ye them

this in the king's heart, to beautify the
house of the Lord which is in Jeru-

all Israel there ''present, had offered: 1=6
even weighed unto their hand si.x hun-
dred and fifty talents (j^ silver, and silver
vessels an hundred talents, and of gold
an hundred talents; also twenty 'basons 27
of gold, of a thousand "'drams; and two
vessels of 'fine copper, 'precious as gold.
And I said unto them. Ye are '"holy 28
unto the Lord; the vessels are "holy
also; and the silver and the gold are ''a
freewill oftering unto the Lord God of
your fathers. \Vatch ye, and keep them, 29
until ye weigh them before the chief of
the priests and the Levites, and chief of
the fathers of Israel, at Jerusalem, in
"the chambers of the house of the Lord.
So took the priests and the Levites the 30
weight of the silver, and the gold, and
the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem
unto the house of our God.
Then we departed from the river of 31
PAhava on ''the twelfth day of the first
month, to go unto Jerusalem: and ■'the
hand of our God was upon us, and he
delivered us from the hand of the ene-
my, and of such as lay in wait by the
way. And '^we came to Jerusalem, and 32
abode there three days. Now on the 33
fourth day was the silver and the gold
and the vessels 'weighed in the house of
our God by the hand of "Meremoth the
son of -''Uriah the priest; and with him
was Eleazar the son of Phinehas; and
with them was yjozabad the son of Je-
shua, and Noadiah the son of ^Binnui,
Levites; by number and by weight of 34
every one: and all the weight was writ-
ten at that time. Also the children ^of 35
those that had been carried away, which
were come out of the captivity, offered
burnt offerings unto the God of Israel,
''twelve bullocks for all Israel, ninety
and six rams, seventy and seven lambs,
twelve he goats for a sin offering : all
this 7C'as a burnt offering unto the Lord.
And they delivered the king's '^commis- 36
sions unto the king's ''lieutenants, and
to the "governors on this side the river:
and they ^furthered the people, and the
house of God.
Now when these things were done,
the princes came to me, saying. The
people of Israel, and the priests, and
the Levites, have not ^separated them-
selves from the people of the lands,
^doing according to their abominations,
ei'en of the '^Canaanites, the Hittites, the
Perizzites, the Jebusites, the "'Ammon-
ites, the Moabites, the Eg)'ptians, and
2 the Amorites. For they have "= taken
of their daughters for themselves, and
for their sons: so that the 'holy seed
have s mingled themselves with the peo-
ple of those lands : yea, the hand of the
princes and ''rulers hath been chief in
3 this trespass. And when I heard this
thing, 'I rent my garment and my man-
tle, and pluckt off the hair of my head
and of my beard, and sat down ''astonied.
4 Then were assembled unto me every
one that 'trembled at the words of the
God of Israel, because of the transgress-
ion of those that had been carried away ;
and I sat '^astonied until the ""evening
5 sacrifice. And at the evening sacrifice
I arose up from my 'heaviness; and
" having rent my garment and my man-
tle, I fell upon my knees, and "spread
out my hands unto the Lord my God,
6 and said,
O my God, I am ashamed and blush
to lift up my face to thee, my God: for
Pour iniquities are increased over our
head, and our 'trespass lis grown up
7 unto the heavens. ■'Since the days of
our fathers have we l>een in a great tres-
pass unto this day; and for our iniquities
*have we, our kings, a?id our priests,
been delivered into the hand of the
kings of the lands, to the sword, to cap-
tivity, and to a spoil, and to 'confusion
8 of face, as it is this day. And now for
a little 'space grace hath been shewed
from the Lord our God, to leave us a
"remnant to escape, and to give us "a
nail in his holy place, that our God may
"lighten our eyes, and give us a little re-
9 viving in our bondage. •''For we 7vere
bondmen ; yet our God hath not forsaken
us in our bondage, but vhath extended
merry unto us in the sight of the kings
of Persia, to give us a reviving, to set
up the house of our God, and 'to repair
the desolations tliereof, and to give us
10 ^a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem. And
now, O our Clod, what shall we say after
this? for we have forsaken thy command-
II ments, which thou hast commanded 'by
thy servants the prophets, saying. The

land, rtnto which ye go to possess it, is
an unclean land with the filthiness of the
people of the lands, with their abomina-
tions, which have filled it *from one end
to another with their ^'uncleanness.
Now therefore ''give not your daughters 12
unto their sons, neither take their daugh-
ters unto your sons, nor "^seek their
peace or their wealth for ever: that ye
may be strong, and eat the good of the
land, and '' leave // for an inheritance to
your children for ever. And after all 13
that is come upon us for our evil deeds,
and for '^our great trespass, seeing that
thou our God f'hast punished us less
than our iniquities deserve, and hast given
us such ^deliverance as this; should we 14
again break thy commandments, and
''join in affinity with the people of these
abominations? wouldest thou not be 'an-
gry with us till thou hadst consumed its.,
so that there should be no remnant nor
^escaping? O Lord God of Israel, 15
''thou art righteous: for we remain yet
^escaped, as it is this day: behold, we
are before thee 'in our trespasses: for
7M cannot ""stand before thee because
of this.
Now •■'when Ezra had prayed, and
when he had confessed, weeping and
''casting himself down '^before the house
of God, there assembled unto him out
of Israel a very great congregation 0/
men and women and children : for the
people Hvept very sore. And Shecha- 2
niah the son of ''Jehiel, oue of the sons
of Elam, answered and said unto Ezra,
We have 'trespassed against our Ciod,
and have taken strange wives of the
people of the land : yet now there is
hope in Israel concerning this thius;.
Now therefore let us make a covenant 3
with our God *to put away all the wives,
and such as are born of them, according
to the counsel of my lord, and of those
that ftremble at the commandment of
our God; and let it be done saccording
to the law. Arise; for this matter de- 4
longeth unto thee: we also luill be with
thee: ''be of good courage, and do //.
Then arose Ezra, and made the chief 5
priests, the Levites, and all Israel, 'to
swear that they should do according to
this word. And they sware. Then Ezra 6
rose up ''from before the house of God.
and went into the 'chamber of "'Joha-
nan the son of "'Eliashib: and 7i<heii he
came thither, he did "eat no bread, nor
drink water : for he mourned because of
the transgression of them that had been
7 carried away. And ""they made procla-
mation throughout Judah and Jerusalem
unto all the children of the captivity,
that they should gather themselves to-
sgetherw//;; Jerusalem; and MfZi" whoso-
ever would not come within three days,
according to the counsel of the princes
and the elders, all his substance should
be 'forfeited, and himself sei)arated from
the congregation of those that had been
carried away.
9 Then all the men of Judah and Ben-
jamin gathered themselves together unto
Jerusalem within three days. It was the
ninth month, on the twentieth day of
the month ; and all the people sat in the
street of the house of God, "trembling
because of this matter, and for 'the
10 great rain. And Ezra the priest stood
up, and said unto them. Ye have trans-
gressed, and 'have taken strange wives,
11 to increase the trespass of Israel. Now
therefore Pmake confession unto the
Lord God of your fathers, and do his
pleasure: and iseparate yourselves from
the people of the land, and from the
12 strange wives. Then all the congrega-
tion answered and said with a loud
voice, As thou hast said, so must we do.
13 But the people are many, and it is a
time of much rain, and 7ve are not able
to stand without, neither is this a work
of one day or two: for 'we are many
that have transgressed in this thing.
14 Let now our rulers of all the congrega-
tion stand, and let all them which have
taken strange wives in our cities come
at 'appointed times, and with them the
elders of every city, and the judges
thereof, until ''the fierce wrath of our
God 'for this matter be turned from us.
15 Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and
Jahaziah the son of Tikvah 'were em-
ployed about this matter: and 'Meshul-
1am and "Shabbethai the Levite helped
them. And the children of the captivity
did so. And Ezra the priest, 7i'ith cer-
tain chief of the fathers, after the house
of their fathers, and all of them by their
names, were separated, and sat down in
"the first day of the tenth month to e.x-
17 amine the matter. And they made an
end with all the men that had taken
strange wives by ' the first day of the
first month.
18 And among the sons of the priests
there were found that had taken strange
wives: tiamely, of the sons of "Jeshua

THE words of ='Nehemiah the son of
Hachaliah. And it came to pass
in the month ''Chisleu, in <^the twen-
tieth year, as I was in "^Shushan «the
palace, that fHanani, one of my bre- 2
thren, came, he and certain men of
Judah; and I asked them concerning
the Jews that had escaped, which were
left of the captivity, and concerning
Jerusalem. And they said unto me, 3
The remnant that are left of the cap-
tivity there in the province are in great
affliction and reproach: the wall of Je-
rusalem also g/j- broken down, and ''the
gates thereof are burnt with fire. And 4
it came to pass, when I heard these
words, that 'I sat down and wept, and
mourned certain days, and fasted, and
prayed before the God of heaven, and s
said, I beseech thee, O Lord God of
heaven, ''the great and terrible God,
'that keepeth covenant and mercy for
them that love him and observe his
commandments: let ""thine ear now be 6
attentive, and """thine eyes open, that
thou mayest hear the prayer of thy ser-
vant, which I pray before thee now,
day and night, for the children of Israel
thy servants, and "confess the sins of
the children of Israel, which we have
sinned against thee: Pboth I and my
father's house have sinned. We have 7
1 dealt very corruptly against thee, and
have not kept the commandments, nor
the statutes, nor the judgments, 'which
thou commandedst thy servant Moses.
Remember, I beseech thee, the word s
that thou commandedst thy servant Mo-
ses, saying, ^ If ye transgress, I will
scatter you abroad among the nations:
'but if ye turn unto me, and keep my 9
commandmentSj and do them; "though
there were of you cast out unto the
uttermost part of the heaven, yet will I
gather them from thence, and will bring
them ''unto the place that I have cho-
sen to set my name there. ^Now these 10
are thy servants and thy people, whom
thou hast redeemed by thy great power,
II and by thy strong hand. O Lord, I
beseech thee, ^let now thine ear be at-
tentive to the prayer of thy servant, and
to the prayer of thy servants, ''who
desire to fear thy name: and prosper,
I pray thee, thy servant this day, and
grant him mercy in the sight of this
man. For I was the king's ''cupbearer.
And it came to pass in the month
^Nisan, in ''the twentieth year of Ar-
taxerxes the king, that wine was before
him : and "^ I took up the wine, and gave
// unto the king. Now I had not been
^beforetime sad in his presence. Where-
fore the king said unto me, ''Why is thy
countenance sad, seeing thou art not
sick? this is nothing e/sc but "^sorrow of
heart. Then I was very sore afraid,
3 and said unto the king, ^Let the king
live for ever: why should not my coun-
tenance be sad, when sthe city, the
place of my fathers' sepulchres, lieth
waste, and ''the gates thereof are con-
4sumed with fire? Then the king said
unto me, For what dost thou make re-
quest? So I prayed to 'the God of
5 heaven. And I said unto the king, If
it please the king, and if thy servant
have found favour in thy sight, that
thou wouldest send me unto Judah,
unto the city of my fathers' sepulchres,
6 that I may build it. And the king said
unto me, (the 'queen also sitting by
him,) For how long shall thy journey
be? and when wilt thou return? So it
pleased the king to send me; and I set
7 him a Uime. Moreover I said unto the
king, If it please the king, let letters be
given me to the ''governors beyond the
river, that they may convey me over
8 till I come into Judah ; and a letter
unto Asaph the keeper of the king's
'forest, that he may give me timber to
make beams for the gates of the '"palace
which appertained to the house, and for

the wall of the city, and for "the house
that I shall enter into. And the king
granted me, ° according to the good
hand of my God upon me.
Then I came to the '^governors be- 9
yond the river, and gave them the king's
letters. Now the king had sent cap-
tains of the army and horsemen with
me. When PSanballat the iHoronite, 10
and ■'Tobiah the ser\'ant, the ^Ammon-
ite, heard 0/ it, it grieved them exceed-
ingly tliat there was come a man 'to
seek the welfare of the children of Is-
rael. "So I came to Jerusalem, and n
was there three days. And I arose in 12
the night, I and some few men with me ;
neither told I a)iy man what my God
had put in my heart to do at Jerusa-
lem; neither was there any beast with
me, save the beast that I rode upon.
And I went out by night by the "'gate 13
of the valley, even before the dragon
well, and to the ■''dung port, and viewed
the walls of Jerusalem, which were >' bro-
ken down, and ^ the gates thereof were
consumed with fire. Then I went on 14
to the 'gate of the fountain, and to the
''king's pool: but there was no place
for the beast that was under me to
pass. Then went I up in the night 15
by the '= brook, and viewed the wall,
and turned back, and entered by the
"gate of the valley, and so returned.
And the ''rulers knew not whither 1 16
went, or what I did; neither had I as
yet told // to the Jews, nor to the
priests, nor to the nobles, nor to the
''rulers, nor to the re.st that did the
work. Then said I unto them. Ye see 17
the distress that we a;r in, how Jeru-
salem '^lieth waste, and f the gates there-
of are burnt with fire: come, and let
us build vp the wall of Jerusalem, that
we be no more sa reproach. Then I is
told them of ^ the hand of my God
which was good upon me; as also the
king's words that he had spoken unto
me. And they said, Let us rise up and
build. .So they 'strengthened their hands
for this good 7oork. But when Sanbal- 19
lat the Horonite, and Tobiah the ser-
vant, the Ammonite, and ''Geshem the
Arabian, heard it, they 'laughed us to
scorn, and despised us, and said, What
is this thing that ye do? "Hvill ye rebel
against the king ? Then answered 1 20
them, and said unto them. The God
of heaven, he will prosper us; therefore
we his servants will arise and build :

of the corner unto the " sheep gate
repaired 1 the goldsmiths and the mer-
chants.
But, it came to pass, ^that when San-
ballat heard that we builded the wall,
he was wroth, and took great indigna-
2tion, and ''mocked the Jews. And he
spake before his brethren and the army
of "= Samaria, and said, What do these
feeble Jews ? will they ' fortify them-
selves ? will they .sacrifice ? will they
make an end in a day? will they revive
the stones out of the heaps of the rub-
sbish which are burnt? Now ^'Tobiah
the Ammonite was by him, and he said,
Even that which they build, if ''a fox
go up, he shall even break down their
4 Stone wall. «Hear, O our God; for we
are 'despised : and 'turn their reproach
upon their own head, and give them
5 for a prey in the land of captivity: and
Scover not their iniquity, and ''let not
their sin be blotted out from before
thee : for they ha\e provoked thee to
6 anger before the builders. So built we
the wall; and all the wall was joined
together uilto the half thereof: for the
people had a mind to work.
7 But it came to pass, that when San-
ballat, and Tobiah, and the 'Arabians,
and the 'Ammonites, and the ''A.shdod-
ites, heard that the walls of Jerusalem
'were made up, and that the breaches
began to be stopped, then they were
8 very \\TOth, and 'conspired all of them
together to come and to fight against
9 Jerusalem, and 'to hinder it. Never-
theless we made our prayer unto our
God, and set a watch against them day
10 and night, because of them. And Ju-
dah said. The strength of the bearers
of burdens is decayed, and there is
much rubbish; so that we are not able

to build the wall. And our adversaries n
said, They shall not know, neither see,
till we corae in the midst among them,
and slay them, and cause the work to
cease. And it came to pass, that when 12
the Jews which dwelt by "Hhem came,
they said unto us "ten times, "From all
places whence ye shall return unto us
they zvill be upon you. Therefore set 13
I 'in the lower places behind the wall,
a?id on the higlier places, I even set
the people after tlieir families with their
swords, their spears, and their bows.
And I looked, and rose up, and said 14
unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and
to the rest of the people, °Be not ye
afraid of them : remember the Lord,
which is Pgreat and terrible, and 'ifight
for your brethren, your sons, and your
daughters, your wives, and your houses.
And it came to pass, when our ene-is
mies heard that it was known unto us,
and God had ■'brought their counsel to
nought, that we returned all of us to
the wall, every one unto his work. And 16
it came to pass from that time forth,
that the half of my servants wrought
in the work, and the other half of them
held both the ^spears, the shields, and
the bows, and the ^habergeons; and the
rulers were behind all the house of
Judah. They which builded on the 17
wall, and they that bare burdens, with
those that laded, every one Avith one of
his hands wrought in the work, and
with the other hand held a weapon.
For the builders, every one had his 18
sword girded *by his side, and so build-
ed. And he that sounded the trumpet
was by me. And ' I said unto the no- 19
bles, and to the rulers, and to the rest
of the people. The work is great and
large, and we are separated upon the
wall, one far ■ from another. In what 20
place therefore ye hear the sound of the
trumpet, resort ye thither unto us: "our
God shall fight for us. So we laboured 21
in the work : and half of them held the
spears from •''the rising of the morning
till the stars appeared. Likewise at the 22
same time said I unto the people. Let
every one with his servant lodge within
Jerusalem, that in the night they may
be a guard to us, and labour on the
day. So neither I, nor my brethren, 23
nor my servants, nor the men of the
guard which followed me, none of us
put off our clothes, '^saving that every
one put them oSfor washing.
And there was a great "cry of the
people and of their wives against their
2 ^brethren the Jews. For there were
that said. We, our sons, and our daugh-
ters, are many: therefore we take up
corn/6ir them, that we may eat, and live.
3 Some also there were that said. We have
mortgaged our lands, vineyards, and
houses, that we might buy corn, because
4 of the dearth. There were also that
said. We have borrowed money for the
king's '^tribute, and t/iat upon our lands
5 and vineyards. Yet now ''our flesh is as
the flesh of our brethren, our children
as their children: and lo, we bring into
bondage our <=sons and our f daughters
to be servants, and some of our daugh-
ters are brought unto bondage already :
neither is it in our power to redeem them;
for other men have our lands and vine-
6 yards. And I was very angry when I
7 heard their cry and these words. Then
*I consulted with myself, and I rebuked
the nobles, and the rulers, and said unto
them, s You exact usury, every one of his
brother. And I set a great assembly
3 against them. And I said unto them.
We after our ability have ''redeemed
our brethren the Jews, wliich were sold
unto the heathen; and will you even sell
your brethren? or shall they be sold
unto us? Then held they their peace,
9 and found nothing to answer. Also I
said. It is not good that ye do : ought
ye not to walk 'in the fear of our God
''^ because of the reproach of the heathen
10 our enemies? I likewise, and my bre-
thren, and my servants, might exact of
them money and corn : I pray you, let
11 us leave oft" this usury. Restore, I pray
you, to then), even this day, their lands^
their vineyards, their oliveyards, and
their houses, also the hundredth part of
the money, and af the corn, the wine,
and the oil, that ye exact of them.
12 Then said they, We will restore them.,
and will require nothing of them; so
will we do as thou sayest. Then I
called the priests, and 'took an oath of
them, "'that they should do according
13 to this promise. Also I shook my "lap,
and said. So God "shake out every man
from his house, and from his Plabour,
that performeth not this promise, even
thus be he shaken out, and * emptied.
And all the congregation said, lAmen,
and praised the Lord. And the people
did accordmg to this promise.

work of this wall, neither bought we
any land: and all my servants locrc ga-
thered thither unto the work. More- 17
over there were vat my table an hundred
and fifty of the Jews and rulers, besides
those that came unto us from among
the heathen that are about us. Now 18
that ^ which was prepared for me daily
was one ox and i[\ choice sheep; also
fowls were prepared for me, and once
in ten days store of all sorts of wine :
yet for at/ this required not I ''the bread
of the ""governor, because the bondage
was heavy upon this people. '^Think 19
upon me, my God, for good, according
to all that I have done for this people.
Now it came to pass, when "Sanbal-
lat, and ^'Tobiah, and "Geshem the Ara-
bian, and the rest of our enemies, heard
that I had builded the wall, and that
there was no breach left therein ; (''though
at that time I had not set up the doors
upon the gates;) that Sanballat and Ge- 2
shem sent unto me, saying, Come, let
us '^'^meet together in some one of the
villages in the plain of '^Ono. But they
thought to do me mischief. And I sent 3
niessengers unto them, saying, 1 am
doing a great work, so that I cannot
come down : why should the work cease,
whilst I leave it, and come down to
you? Yet they sent unto me four times 4
after this sort; and I answered them
after the same manner. Then sent San- s
ballat his servant unto me in like man-
ner the fifth time with an open letter in
his hand ; wherein 'Mas written, // is re- 6
ported among the heathen, and "Gash-
n"iu saith //, that thou and the Jews
think t'to rebel: for which cause thou
buildest the wall, that thou mayest be
their king, according to these words.
And thou hast also appointed prophets 7
to preach of thee at Jerusalem, saynig.
There is a king in Judah : and now shall
it be reported to the king according to
these words. Come now therefore, and
8 let us take counsel together. Then I
sent unto him, saying. There are no
such things done as thou sayest, but
thou <=feignest them out of thine own
9 heart. For- they all made us afraid, say-
ing. Their hands shall be weakened
from the work, that it be not done.
Now therefore, ^O God, strengthen my
10 hands. Afterward I came unto the
house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah
the son of Mehetabeel, who 7i.>as sshut
up; and he said. Let us meet together
in the house of God, within the temple,
and let us shut the doors of the temple :
for they will come to slay thee; yea, in
the night will they come to slay thee.
11 And I said, Should such a man as I
flee? and who is there, that, being as I
atn, would go into the temple to save
12 his life? 1 will not go in. And lo, I
perceived ""that God had not sent him;
but that he pronounced this prophecy
against me: for Tobiah and Sanballat
13 had hired him. Therefore was he hired,
that I should be afraid, and do so, and
sin, and that they might have matter for
an evil report, that they might 'reproach
14 me. ''My God, think thou upon To-
biah and Sanballat according to these
their works, and on the ''prophetess
Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets,
that would have put me in fear.
15 So the wall was finished in the twenty
and fifth day oi the month 'Elul, '"in fifty
16 and two days. And it came to pass,
that when "all our enemies heard thereof,
and all the heathen that 7i'ere about us
saw these things, they were much cast
down in their own eyes: for "they per-
ceived that this work was wrought of
17 our God. Moreover in those days the
nobles of Judah *sent many letters unto
Tobiah, and the letters of Tobiah came
18 unto them. For there were many in Ju-
dah P sworn unto him, because he was
the son in law of Shechaniah the son
of lArah; and his son Johanan had
taken the daughter of "^Meshullam the
19 son of Berechiah. Also they reijorted
his good deeds before me, and uttered
my 'words to him. And Tobiah sent
letters to put me in fear.
Now it came to pass, when the wall
was built, and I had "set up the doors,
and the porters and the singers and the
2 Levites were appointed, that I gave my
brother ''Hanani, and "^Hananiah the
ruler of ''the palace, charge over Jeru-

'feared God above many. And I said
Unto them, Let not the gates of Jeru-
salem be opened until the sun be hot;
and while they stand by, let them shut
the doors, and bar them: and appoint
watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
every one in his watch, and every one
to be over against his house. Now the
city ivas ' large and great : but the peo-
ple were few therein, and the houses
tvere not builded,
And my God put into mine heart to
gather together the nobles, and the ru-
lers, and the people, that they might be
reckoned by genealogy. And I found
a register of the genealogy of them
which came up fat the first, and found
written therein,
sThese are the children of the pro-
vince, that went up out of the captivity,
of those that had been carried away,
whom Nebuchadnezzaf the king of Ba-
bylon had carried away, and came again

bel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, "Azariah, Raa-

And these were they which went up 61
also from Tel-melah, Tel-haresha, Che-

not shew their fathers' house, nor their
'■ seed, whether they were of Israel. The 62

among those that were reckoned Ijy ge-

were they, as polluted, put from the
priesthood. And "the Tirshatha said 65
unto them, that they should not eat of
the most holy things, till there stood up
a priest with Urim and Thummim.
The whole congregation together jcas 66

unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for
the joy of the Lord is your strength.
So the Levites stilled all the people, n
saying, Hold your peace, for the day is
holy; neither be ye grieved. And all 12
the people went their way to eat, and
to drink, and to Jsend portions, and to
make great mirth, because they had
''understood the words that were de-
clared unto them. And on the second 13
day 'were gathered together the chief of
the fathers of all the people, the priests,
and the Levites, unto Ezra the scribe,
even "to understand the words of the
law. And they found written in the 14
law which the Lord had commanded
'by Moses, that the children of Israel
should dwell in ""booths in the feast of
the seventh month : and that they should 15
"publish and proclaim in all their cities,
and "in Jemsalem, saying. Go forth un-
to the mount, and fetch olive branches,
and Ppine branches, and myrtle branches,
and "ipalm branches, and branches of
ithick trees, to make booths, as it is
written. So the people went forth, and 16
brought them., and made themselves
booths, every one upon ""the roof, of his
house, and in their courts, and in the
courts of the house of God, and in ''the
street of the water gate, and in the
street of the 'gate of Ephraim. And 17
all the congregation of them that were
come again out of the captivity made
booths, and sat under the booths: for
since the days of Jeshua the son of Nun
unto that day "had not the children of
Israel done so. And there was very
''great gladness. Also day by day, from is
the first day unto the last day, >he read
in the book of the law of God. And
they kept the feast seven days; and on
the eighth day was 'a solemn assembly,
according unto the manner.
Now in the twenty and fourth day of
^this month the children of Israel were
assembled with ''fasting, and with '=sack-
clothes, and ''earth upon them. And 2
■^the seed of Israel separated themselves
from all * strangers, and stood and con-
fessed their sins, and the iniquities of
their fathers. And they f stood up in 3
their place, and sread in the book of
the law of the Lord their God otie
fourth part of the day ; and another
fourth part they confessed, and wor-
shipped the Lord their God. Then 4
stood up upon the "stairs of the Levites,
''Jeshua, and ''Bani, 'Kadmiel, ''Sheba-
niah, 'Bunni, "Sherebiah, ''Bani, and
Chenani, and cried with a loud voice
sunto the Lord their God. Then the
Levites, ''Jeshua and 'Kadmiel, ''Bani,
" Hashabniah, ■" Sherebiah, ° Hodijah,
''Shebaniah, aw^'pPethahiah, said.
Stand up and bless the Lord your
God for ever and ever: and blessed be
ithy glorious name, which is e.xalted
6 above all blessing and praise. ""Thou,
even thou, art Lord alone; =thou hast
made heaven, 'the heaven of heavens,
with "all their host, the earth, and all
things that are therein, the seas, and all
that is therein, and thou ''preservest
them all; and the host of heaven wor-
7 shippeth thee. Thou art the Lord the
God, who didst choose vAbram, and
broughtest him forth out of Ur of the
Chaldees, and gavest him the name of
8 ^Abraham; and foundest his heart ^faith-
ful before thee, and madest a ''cove-
nant with him to give the land of ''the
Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites,
and the Perizzites, and the Jebusites,
and the Girgashites, to give //, / say,
to his seed, and ''hast performed thy
9 words ; for thou art righteous : and f didst
see the affliction of our fathers in Egypt,
and heardest ftheir cry by the Red sea;
10 and gshewedst signs and wonders upon
Pharaoh, and on all his servants, and
on all the people of his land: for thou
knewest that they ''dealt proudly against
them. So didst thou 'get thee a name,
11 as // is this day. And ''thou didst
divide the sea before them, so that they
went through the midst of the sea on
the dry land; and their persecutors thou
threwest into 'the deeps, as a stone
12 into the mighty waters. Moreover thou
"'leddest them in the day by a cloudy
pillar; and in the night by a pillar of
fire, to give them light in the way
13 wherein they .should go. "Thou camest
down also upon mount Sinai, and spak-
est with them from heaven, and gavest
them "right judgments, and 'true laws,
14 good statutes and commandments: and
madest known unto them thy Pholy sab-
bath, and commandedst them precepts,
statutes, and laws, by the hand of Alo-
is ses thy servant: and "igavest them
bread from heaven for their hunger,
and ■'broughtest forth water for them
out of the rock for their thirst, and
promisedst them that they should ^go
in to possess the land 'which thou hadst
16 sworn to give them. But they and our

neither ''were mindful of thy wonders

ened their necks, and in their rebellion

forsookest them not. Yea, ''when they 18
had made them a molten calf, and said.
This is thy God that brought thee up
out of Egypt, and had wrought "^ great
provocations; yet thou in "^thy mani-19

wilderness: 'the pillar of the cloud de-
parted not from them by day, to lead
them in the way; neither the pillar of
fire by night, to shew them light, and
the way wherein they should go. Thou 20
gavest also thy 'good spirit to instruct
them, and withheldest not thy smanna

didst thou sustain them in the wilder-

clothes waxed not old, and their feet
swelled not. Moreover thou gavest them 22
kingdoms and nations, and didst divide
them into ''comers: so they possessed
the land of 'Sihon, and the land of the
king of '"Heshbon, and the land of "Og
king of Bashan. Their children also 23
multipliedst thou as °the stars of hea-

concerning which thou hadst promised to
their fathers, that they should go in to
possess it. So Pthe children went in 24
and possessed the land, and ithou sub-
duedst before them the inhabitants of
the land, the Canaanites, and gavest
them into their hands, with their kings,
and the people of the land, that they
might do with them *as they would.
And they took strong cities, and a ■'fat 25
land, and possessed ^houses full of all
goods, 'wells digged, vineyards, and
ohveyards, and 'fruit trees in abund-
ance: so they did eat, and were filled,
and 'became fat, and delighted them-
selves in "thy great goodness. Never- 26

belled against thee, and vcast thy law
behind their backs, and ^slew thy pro-
phets which testified against them to
turn them to thee, and they WTOught
^ great provocations. ''Therefore thou 27
deliveredst them into the hand of their

of fjeshua. Moreover the Levites : 8
sjeshua, •'Binnui, «Kadmiel, Sherebiah,
Judah, «;/(!' 'Mattaniah, which was 'over
'the thanksgiving, he and his brethren.
Also 'Bakbukiah and Unni, their bre- g
thren, loere over against them in the
watches.
And fjeshua begat Joiakim, Joiakim 10
also begat ■> Eliashib, and Eliashib begat
''Joiada, and Joiada begat 'Jonathan, n
and Jonathan begat Jaddua.
And in the days of "'Joiakim were 12
priests, the chief of the fathers : of Sera-
iah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah ;
of Ezra, Meshullam; of Amariah, Jeho-13

The Levites in the days of ' Eliashib, 22
''Joiada, and "Johanan, and Jaddua,
were recorded chief of the fathers : also
the priests, to the reign of Darius the
Persian. The sons of Levi, the chief of 23
the fathers, were written in the book of
the chronicles, even until the days of
°Johanan the son of Eliashib. And the 24
chief of the Levites: p Hashabiah, 1 Shere-
biah, and ■■Jeshua the son of ■'Kadmiel,
with their brethren ^over against them,
'to praise and "to give thanks, "accord-
ing to the commandment of David "the
man of God, ''ward over against ward ;
vMattaniah, and y Bakbukiah, ^Obadiah, 25
^Meshullam, "Talmon, ^Akkub, were
porters keeping the ward at the "thresh-
olds of the gates. These were in the 26
days of Joiakim the son of Jeshua, the
son of ''Jozadak, and in the days of Ne-
hemiah 'the governor, and of Ezra the
priest, ** the scribe.
And at 'the dedication of the wall of 27
Jerusalem they sought the Levites f out
of all their places, to bring them to Jeru-
salem, to keep the dedication with glad-
ness, both with thanksgivings, and with
singing, li'ith e cymbals, psalteries, and
28 with haqis. And the sons of the singers
gathered themselves together, both out
of ''the plain country round about Jeru-
salem, and from the villages of 'Neto-
29phathi; also from the house of ^Gilgal,
and out of the fields of ''Geba and 'Az-
maveth : for the singers had builded
them villages round about Jerusalem.
y, And the priests and the Levites '"puri-
fied themselves, and purified the people,
31 and the gates, and the wall. Then I
brought up the princes of Judah upon
the wall, and appointed two great com-
panies of them that gave thanks, whereof
"(7«c went on the right hand upon the
32 wall "toward the dung gate ; and after
them went Hoshaiah, and half of the
33 princes of Judah, and PAzariah, "lEzra,
34 and ■'Meshullam, Judah, and Benjamin,
35 and '^Shemaiah, and 'Jeremiah, and cer-
tain of the priests' sons "with trumpets;
namely, Zechariah the son of Jonathan,
the son of Shemaiah, the son of Matta-
niah, the son of "Michaiah, the son of
! sb'^Zaccur, the son of Asaph: and his bre-
thren, Shemaiah, and Azarael, Milalai,
Gilalai, Maai, Nethaneel, and Judah,
Hanani, with I'the musical instnmients
of David ^the man of God, and Ezra the
37 scribe before them. And at the *foun-
tain gate, which was over against them,
they went up by ''the stairs of the city of
David, at the going up of the wall, above
the house of David, even unto the "-■ water
38 gate east7tv?;v/. And ''the other company
of them that gave thanks went over against
ihcin, and I after them, and the half of
the people upon the wall, from beyond
the "tower of the furnaces even unto
39 the f broad wall ; and from above the
sgate of Ephraim, and above the ''old
gate, and above the 'fish gate, and the
''tower of Hananeel, and •'the tower of
Meah, even unto the ''sheep gate: and
40 they stood still in the 'prison gate. So
stood the two companies of them that gave
thanks in the house of God, and I, and
41 the half of the rulers with me : and the
priests; Eliakim, "'Maaseiah, Miniamin,
Michaiah, "Elioenai, "Zechariah, and
42PHananiah, with trumpets; and "^ Ma-
aseiah, and 1 Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and
■■Uzzi, and ''Jehohanan, and "'Malchi-

43 overseer. Also that day they oflered great
sacrifices, and rejoiced : 'for God had
made them rejoice tuith great joy: the

wives also and the children rejoiced : so
that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even
afar off.
"And at that time were some appoint- 44
ed over the "chambers for the treasures,
for the offerings, for the firstfruits, and
for the tithes, to gather into them out of
the fields of the cities the portions 'of
the law for the priests and Levites: 'for
Judah rejoiced for the priests and for
the Levites 'that waited. And both the 45
singers and the porters kept the ward of
their God, and the ward of the purifica-
tion, "according to the commandment
of David, and of Solomon his son. For 46
in the days of David and vAsaph of old
there were chief of the singers, and songs
of praise and thanksgiving unto (iod.
And all Israel in the days of ^Zerubbabel, 47
and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the
portions of the singers and the porters,
^ every day his portion: and '^they "sanc-
tified holy things unto the Levites ; and
•^the Levites sanctified them unto the
children of Aaron.
On that day ="' they read in the book
of Moses in the 'audience of the people;
and therein was found written, ''that the
Ammonite and the Moabite should not
come into the congregation of God for
ever; because they met not the children 2
of Israel with bread and with water, but
■^ hired Balaam against them, that he
should curse them: ''howbeit our God
turned the curse into a blessing. Now 3
it came to pass, when they had heard the
law, ^that they separated from Israel all
fthe mixed multitude.
And before this, sEliashib the priest, 4
'having the oversight of the chamber of
the house of our God, was allied unto
''Tobiah : and he had prepared for him 5
a great chamber, 'where aforetime they
laid the meat offerings, the frankincense,
and the vessels, and the tithes of the
corn, the new wine, and the oil, 'which
was commanded to be given to the Le-
vites, and the singers, and the porters;
and the offerings of the priests. But in 6
all this time was not I at Jerusalem : for
in the •'two and thirtieth year of Arta-
xerxes 'king of Babylon came I unto the
king, and 'after certain days "obtained
I leave of the king: and I came to Jeru- 7
salem, and understood of the evil that
sEliashib did for ''Tobiah, ""in preparing
him "a chamber in the courts of the
house of God. And it grieved me sore : s
therefore I cast forth all the household
9 stuff of Tobiah out of the chamber. Then
I commanded, and they "cleansed the
chambers: and thither brought I again
'"the vessels of the house of God, with
the meat offering and the frankincense.
lo And I perceived that Pthe portions
of the Levites had not been given them:
for the Levites and the singers, that
did the work, were fled every one to
iiihis field. Then ■'contended I with the
rulers, and said. Why is ^the house of
God forsaken? And I gathered them
together, and set them in their 'place.
12 Then brought all Judah 'the tithe of
the com and the new wine and the
13 oil unto the 'treasuries. And "I made
treasurers over the 'treasuries, '^Shele-
miah the priest, and J'Zadok the scribe,
and of the Levites, ^Pedaiah: and 'next
to them was *Hanan the son of ''Zac-
cur, the son of Mattaniah : for they
were counted '^faithful, and 'their office
7oas to distribute unto their brethren.
14 ^ Remember me, O my God, concern-
ing this, and wipe not out my 'good
deeds that I have done for the house of
my God, and for the 'offices thereof
15 In those days saw I in Judah some
treading wine presses "^on the sabbath,
and bringing in sheaves, and lading
asses; as also wine, grapes, and figs,
and all manner of burdens, f which they
brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath
day: and I testified sagainst them in the
16 day wherein they sold victuals. There
dwelt men of ''Tyre also therein, which
brought fish, and all manner of ware,
and sold on the sabbath unto the chil-
i7dren of Judah, and in Jerusalem. Then
'I contended with the nobles of Judah,
and said unto them. What evil thing
is this that ye do, and profane the sab-
18 bath day? ''Did not your fathers thus,
and did not our God bring all this evil
upon us, and upon this city ? yet ye
bring more Avrath upon Israel by pro-
igfaning the sabbath. And it came to
pass, that when the gates of Jerusalem
'began to be dark before the sabbath,
I commanded that the gates should be
shut, and charged that they should not
be opened till after the sabbath: and
some of my servants set I at the gates,
that there should no burden be brought
20 in on the sabbath day. So the mer-
chants and sellers of all kind of ware
lodged without Jerusalem once or twice.
21 Then I testified against them, and said

NOW it came to pass in the days
of ^'Ahasuerus, (this is Ahasuerus
which reigned, from '' India even unto
■^ Ethiopia, over ^ an hundred and seven
and twenty ^provinces :) that in those a
days, when the king Ahasuerus fsat on
the throne of his kingdom, which toas
in sShushan the palace, in the third 3
year of his reign, he ''made a feast unto
all his princes and his servants; the
power of Persia and Media, the 'nobles
and princes of the provinces, being be-
fore him : when he shewed the riches of 4
his glorious kingdom and the honour of
his excellent majesty many days, ei'en
an hundred and fourscore days. And s
when these days were e.\pired, the king
made a feast unto all the people that
were 'present in Shushan the palace,
both unto great and small, seven days,
in the court of '^ the garden of the king's
palace; where were white, green, and 6
"blue hangings, fastened with cords of
' fine linen and purple to silver rings
and pillars of marble: ""the beds were
of gold and silver, upon a pavement 'of
red, and blue, and white, and black
marble. And they gave them drink in ^
vessels of gold, (the vessels being di-
verse one from another,) and ' royal
wine in abundance, 'according to the
state of the king. And the drinking 8
was according to the law; none did
compel: for so the king had appointed
to all the officers of his house, that
they should do according to every man's
pleasure. Also Vashti the queen made 9
a feast for the women in the royal house
which belonged to king Ahasuerus.
On the seventh day, when "the heart 10
of the king was merry with w-ine, he
commanded Mehuman, Biztha, " Har-
bona, PBigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar,
and Carcas, the seven ' chamberlains
that served in the presence of Ahasue-
rus the king, to bring Vashti the queen n
& 6. 2, 14. & 7. 9. See Gen. 37. 36 marg.
before the king with the icrowm royal,
to shew the people and the princes her
beauty: for she 7i'as 'fair to look on.
12 But the queen Vashti refused to come
at the king's commandment * by his
chamberlains : therefore was the king
very WTOth, and his anger burned in
13 him. Then the king said to the ■'wise
men, 'which knew the times, (for so was
the king's manner towards all that knew
14 law and judgment: and the next unto
him was Carshena, Shethar, Admatha,
Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, «;/<■/' Memu-
can, the '^ seven princes of Persia and
Media, '^ which saw the king's face, and
which sat the first in the kingdom;)
15 ' What shall we do unto the queen
Vashti according to law, because she
hath not performed the commandment
of the king Ahasuerus by the cham-
16 berlains? And Memucan answered be-
fore the king and the princes, Vashti
the queen hath not done wrong to the
king only, but also to all the princes,
and to all the people that a7-e in all
the provinces of the king Ahasuerus.
17 For this deed of the queen shall come
abroad unto all women, so that they
shall despise their husbands in their
eyes, when it shall be reported. The
king Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the
queen to be brought in before him, but
is she came not. Likewise shall the ladies
of Persia and Media say this day unto
all the king's princes, which have heard
of the deed of the queen. Thus shall
there arise too much contempt and
19 wrath. 'If it please the king, let there
go a royal commandment 'from him,
and let it be written among the laws
of the Persians and the >Medes, 'that
it be not altered. That Vashti come no
more before king Ahasuerus ; and let
the king give her royal estate 'unto
20 another that is better than she. And

make shall be published throughout all

After these things, when the wrath of
king Ahasuerus was appeased, he re-
membered Vashti, and what she had
done, and what was ''decreed against
her. Then said the king's servants that :
ministered unto him, Let there be fair
young virgins sought for the king: and ;
let the king appoint officers in all the
provinces of his kingdom, that they may
gather together all the fair young vir-
gins unto Shushan the palace, to the
house of the women, 'unto the custody
of " Hege the king's chamberlain, keeper
of the women; and let their •> things for
purification be given t/iem: and let the
maiden which pleaseth the king be
queen instead of Vashti. And the thing
pleased the king; and he did so.
Now in Shushan the palace there was
a certain Jew, whose name was "^Mor-
decai, the son of Jair, the son of Shi-
mei, the son of Kish, "^a Benjamite ;
who "^had been carried away from Je-
rusalem with the captivity which had
been carried away with "Jeconiah king
of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the
king of Babylon had carried away. And
he 'brought up Hadassah, that is, Es-
ther, fhis uncle's daughter: for she had
neither father nor mother, and the maid
was 'fair and beautiful; whom Morde-
cai, when her father and mother were
dead, took for his own daughter. So
it came to pass, when the king's com-
mandment and his decree was heard,
and when many maidens Swere gather-
ed together unto Shushan the palace, to
the custody of Hegai, that Esther was
brought a/so unto the king's house, to
the custody of Hegai, keeper of the
women. And the maiden pleased him,
and she ''obtained kindness of him; and
he speedily gave her her 'things for
purification, with 'such things as be-
longed to her, and seven maidens, which
were meet to be given her, out of the
king's house: and 'he preferred her and ^^^^.'^/i^r
her maids unto the best place of the
10 house of the women. *= Esther had not ' '"=^- '°-
shewed her people nor her kindred: for
Mordecai had charged her that she
J I should not shew it. And Mordecai
walked every day before the court of
the women's house, 'to know how Es- \^'^^' ^
ther did, and what should become of thepeace.
12 her. Now when every maid's turn was i.^mai'g.^^'
come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after a*;""'
that she had been twelve months, ac-
cording to the manner of the women,
(for so were the days of their purifica-
tions accomplished, to wit, six months
with oil of myrrh, and six months with
sweet odours, and with other things for
13 the purifying of the women ;) then
thus came rt'ery maiden unto the king;
whatsoever she desired was given her
to go with her out of the house of the
14 women unto the king's house. In the
evening she went, and on the morrow
she returned into the second house of
the women, to the custody of Shaash-
gaz, the king's chamberlain, which kept
the concubines: she came in unto the
king no more, except the king delighted
in her, and that she were called by
15 name. Now when the turn of Esther,
'the daughter of Abihail the uncle of ',)'«'•• ?•
Mordecai, who had taken her for his
daughter, was come to go in unto the
king, she required nothing but what
Hegai the king's chamberlain, the keeper
of the women, appointed. And Esther
obtained favour in the sight of all them
16 that looked upon her. So Esther was
taken unto king Ahasuerus into his
house royal in the tenth month, which
is the month Tebeth, in the seventh
17 year of his reign. And the king loved
Esther above all the women, and she
obtained grace and 'favour 'in his sight
more than all the virgins; so that he
set the royal crown upon her head, and \^,''^- , -

Esther did the commandment of Mor-
decai, like as when she was ^brought up
with him.
In those days, while Mordecai sat in 21
the king's gate, two of the king's cham-
berlains, "Bigthan and 'Teresh, of those
which kept 'the door, were wroth, and
sought to lay hand on the king Aha-
suerus. And the thing was known to 22
Mordecai, "who told // unto Esther the
queen; and Esther certified the king,
///t'r('(7/"in Mordecai's name. And when 23
inquisition was made of the matter, it was
found out ; therefore they were both hang-
ed on a tree: and it was wTitten in ^the
book of the chronicles before the king.
After these things did king Ahasuerus
''promote Haman the son of Hammeda-
tha the ''Agagite, and "advanced him,
and set his seat above all the princes
that itiere with him. And all the king's 2
servants, that were "^in the king's gate,
bowed, and reverenced Haman : for the
king had so commanded concerning him.
But Mordecai bowed not, nor did /lim
reverence. Then the king's servants, 3
which 7i'ere "^in the king's gate, said unto
Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the
''king's commandment? Now it came 4
to pass, when they spake daily unto him,
and he hearkened not unto them, that
they told Haman, to see whether Mor-
decai's matters would stand : for he had
told them that he was a Jew. And s
when Haman saw that Mordecai "^bowed
not, nor did hinv reverence, then was
Haman ffuU (/wrath. And he thought 6
scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone;
for they had shewed him the people of
Mordecai : wherefore Haman sought to
destroy all the Jews that were through-
out the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus,
even the people of Mordecai.
In the first month, that is, the month ^
sNisan, in the twelfth year of king Aha-
suerus, they cast ''Pur, that is, 'the lot,
before Haman from day to day, and
from month to month, to the twelfth
month, that is, the month ''Adar. And s
Haman .said unto king Ahasuerus, There
is a certain people scattered abroad and
dispersed among the people in all the
provinces of thy kingdom; and 'their
laws arc ""diverse from all people; nei-
ther keep they the king's laws : therefore
it is not 'for the king's profit to sufler
them. If it please the king, let it be 9
wTitten 'that they may be destroyed:
and I will 'pay ten thousand talents of
silver to the hands of those that have
the charge of the business, to bring it
10 into the king's treasuries. And the king
"took his ring from his hand, and gave "Gen. 41. 42.
it unto Haman the son of Hammedatha "^^^-J-
uthe I'Agagiie, the Jews' "enemy. And ch.'slVjo.

shan the palace. And the king and
Haman sat down to drink; but ^the city ^,,°"P'j.

When Mordecai perceived all that was
done, Mordecai ''rent his clothes, and
put on ''sackcloth with '^ashes, and went

Mordecai, to know wliat it was, and why
it was. So Hatach went forth to Mor-
decai unto the street of the city, which
ivas before the king's gate. And Mor-
decai told him of all that had happened
unto him, and of ''the sum of the money
that Haman had promised to pay to the
king's treasuries for the Jews, to destroy
them. Also he gave him sthe copy of
the writing of the decree that was given
at Shushan to destroy them, to shew it
unto Esther, and to declare // unto her,
and to charge her that she should go in
unto the king, to make supplication unto
him, and to make request before him for
her people. And Hatach came and told
Esther the words of Mordecai. Again i
Esther spake unto Hatach, and gave
him commandment unto Mordecai : All i
the king's servants, and the people of
the king's provinces, do know, that who-
soever, whctlic?' man or woman, shall
come unto the king into ''the inner
court, who is not called, '^there is one
law of his to put him to death, except
such to whom •'the king shall hold out
the golden sceptre, that he may live :
but I have not been called to come in
unto the king these thirty days. And i
they told to Mordecai Esther's words.
Then Mordecai commanded to answer:
Esther, Think not with thyself that thou
shalt escape in the king's house, more
than all the Jews. For if thou altogether i
boldest thy peace at this time, thai shall
there 'enlargement and deliverance arise
to the Jews from another place ; but
thou and thy father's house shall be de-
stroyed : and who kno^^•eth whether thou
art come to the kingdom for such a time
as this? Then Esther bade them return i
Mordecai this answer: Go, gather to- 1
gather all the Jews that are 'present in
Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither
eat nor drink 'three days, night or day;
I also and my maidens will fast like-
wise; and so will I go in unto the king,
which is not according to the law: and
"if I perish, I perish. So Mordecai i
'went his way, and did according to all
that Esther iiad commanded him.
Now it came to pass "on the third
day, that Esther put on her royal ap-
parel, and stood in ''the inner court of
the king's house, over against the king's
house: and the king sat upon his royal
throne in the royal house, over against
the gate of the house. .And it was so, -.
when the king saw Esther the queen
standing in the court, that "^she obtained
favour in his sight: and ''the king held
out to Esther the golden sceptre that
was in his hand. So Esther drew near,
and touched the top of the sceptre.
3 Then said the king unto her. What wilt
thou, queen Esther? and what is thy re-
quest? it shall be even given thee "=to
4 the half of the kingdom. And Esther
answered. If it seem good unto the king,
let the king and Haman come this day
unto the banquet that I have prejjared
5 for him. Then the king said. Cause
Haman to make haste, that he may do
as Esther hath said. So the king and
Haman came to the banquet that Esther
6 had prepared. fAnd the king said unto
Esther at the banquet of wine, ?What is
thy petition? and it shall be granted
thee: and what is thy request? even ^to
the half of the kingdom it shall be per-
7 formed. Then answered Esther, and
3 said. My petition and my request is; •'if
I have found favour in the sight of the
king, and if it please the king to grant my
petition, and ' to perform my request, let
the king and Haman come to the ban-
quet that I shall prepare for them, and I
will do to morrow as the king hath said.
9 Then went Haman forth that day joy-
ful and with a 'glad heart: but when Ha-
man saw Mordecai in the king's gate,
''that he stood not up, nor moved for
him, he was full of indignation against
.0 Mordecai. Nevertheless Haman 're-
frained himself: and when he came
home, he sent and 'called for his friends,
11 and "'Zeresh his wife. And Haman told
them of the glory of his riches, and "the
multitude of his children, and all the
thiiii^s where/;? the king had ° promoted
him, and how he had "advanced him
above the princes and servants of the
12 king. Haman said moreover. Yea, Es-
ther the queen did let no man come in
with the king unto the banquet that she
had prepared but myself; and to morrow
am I P invited unto her also with the
Taking. Yet all this availeth me nothing,
so long as I see Mordecai the Jew siV
14 ting at the king's gate. Then said ""Ze-
resh his wife and all his friends unto
him. Let a 'gallows be made of fifty cu-
bits high, and to morrow speak thou
unto the king that Mordecai may be
hanged thereon : then go thou in men-ily
with the king unto the banquet. And
the thing pleased Haman ; and he caused
the gallows to be made.

On that night 'could not the king
sleep, and he commanded to bring ='the
book of records of the chronicles; and
they were read before the king. And it 2
was found written, that Mordecai had
told of "Bigthana and ''Teresh, two of
the king's chamberlains, the keepers of
the 'door, who sought to lay hand on
the king Ahasuerus. And the king said, 3
What '^honour and "^dignity hath been
done to Mordecai for this? Then said
the king's servants that ministered unto
him, There is nothing done for him.
And the king said. Who is in the court? 4
Now Haman was come into ''the out-
ward court of the king's house, "^to
speak unto the king to hang Mordecai
on the gallows that he had prepared for
him. And the king's servants said unto 5
him. Behold, Haman standeth in the
court. And the king said, Let him
come in. So Haman came in. And 6
the king said unto him, A\'hat shall be
done unto the man 'whom the king de-
lighteth to honour? Now Haman thought
in his heart. To whom would the king
delight to do honour more than to my-
self? And Haman answered the king, 7
For the man 'whom the king delighteth
to honour, 'let the royal apparel be s
brought 'which the king uscth to wear,
and 'the horse that the king rideth
upon, and the crown royal which is set
upon his head : and let this apparel and 9
horse be delivered to the hand of one
of the king's most snoble princes, that
they may array the man ivithal whom
the king delighteth to honour, and ' bring
him on horseback through the street of
the city, and proclaim before him, Thus
shall it be done to the man whom the
king delighteth to honour. Then the 10
king said to Haman, Make haste, and
take the apparel and the horse, as thou
hast said, and do even so to Mordecai
the Jew, that sitteth at the king's gate:
'let nothing fail of all that thou hast
spoken. Then took Haman the apparel n
and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai,
and brought him on horseback through
the street of the city, and proclaimed
before him, Thus shall it be done unto
the man whom the king delighteth to
honour. And Mordecai came again to 12
the king's gate. But Haman ''hasted to
his house mourning, and 'having his
head covered. And Haman told '^Ze-13
resh his wife and all his friends 'every
thins;: that had befallen him. Then said
his wse men and Zeresh his wife unto
him, If Mordecai be of the seed of the
Jews, before whom thou hast begun to
fall, thou shalt not prevail against him,
14 but shalt surely fall before him. And
while they were yet talking with him,
came the king's chamberlains, and "'hast-
ed to bring Haman unto "the banquet
that Esther had prepared.
So the king and Haman came 'to
2 banquet with Esther the queen. And
the king said again unto Esther on the
second day at the banquet of wine,
^What is thy petition, queen Esther?
and it shall be granted thee: and what
is thy request? and it shall be performed,
3 even to the half of the kingdom. Then
Esther the queen answered and said, ''If
I have found favour in thy sight, O
king, and if it please the king, let my
life be given me at my petition, and my
4 people at my request: for we are "^sold,
I and my people, 'to be destroyed, to
be slain, and to perish. But if we had
been sold for bondmen and bondwomen,
I had held my tongue, although the ene-
my could not countervail the king's
s damage. Then the king Ahasuerus an-
swered and said unto Esther the queen,
Who is he, and where is he, 'that durst
6 presume in his heart to do so? And
Esther said, 'The adversary and enemy
is this wicked Haman. Then Haman
■^was afraid "before the king and the
7 queen. And the king arising from the
banquet of wine in his wrath went into
"^the palace garden: and Haman stood
up to make request for his life to Esther
the queen; for he saw that there was
fevil determined against him by the
8 king. Then the king returned out of
=the palace garden into the place of the
banquet of wine ; and Haman ^\as fallen
upon sthe bed whereon Esther was.
Then said the king. Will he force the
queen also 'before me in the house?
As the word went out of the king's
mouth, they covered Haman's face.
9 And '^Harbonah, one of the chamber-
lains, said before the king, Behold also,
the 'gallows fifty cubits high, which Ha-
man had made for Mordecai, 'who had
spoken good for the king, standeth in
the house of Haman. Then the king
10 said, Hang him thereon. So they hang-
ed Haman on the gallows that he had
prepared for Mordecai. Then i^was the
king's wTath pacified.
On that day did the king Ahasuerus

give the house of Haman the Jews'
enemy unto Esther the queen. And
Mordecai came before the king ; for
Esther had told "what he was unto
her. And the king took off ''his ring, 2
which he had taken from Haman, and
gave it unto Mordecai. And Esther set
Mordecai over the house of Haman.
And Esther spake yet again before the 3
king, and fell down at his feet, 'and
besought him with tears to put away
the mischief of Haman the "^Agagite,
and his device that he had devised
against the Jews. Then ''the king held 4
o«t the golden sceptre toward Esther.
So Esther arose, and stood before the
king, and said. If it please the king, 5
and if I have found favour in his sight,
and the thing "=seem right before the
king, and I be pleasing in his eyes, let
it be written to reverse the letters 'de-
vised by Haman the son of Hamme-
datha the "^Agagite, 'which he WTOte to
destroy the Jews which are in all the
king's provinces: for how can I *en- 6
dure to see ^the evil that shall scome
unto my people? or how can I 'endure
to see the destruction of my kindred?
Then the king Ahasuerus said unto 7
Esther the queen and to Mordecai the
Jew, Behold, ''I have given Esther the
house of Haman, and him they have
hanged upon the gallows, because he
laid his hand upon the Jews. Write ye s
also for the Jews, as it liketh you, 'in
the king's name, and seal it with the
king's ring : for the writing which is
written in the king's name, and sealed
with the king's ring, ^ may no man
reverse. 'Then were the king's scribes 9
called at that time in the third month,
that is, the month "Sivan, on the three
and twentieth day thereof; and it was
written according to all that Mordecai
commanded unto the Jews, and to the
"lieutenants, and the "deputies and ru-
lers of the provinces which arc from p In-
dia unto Ethiopia, Pan hundred twenty
and seven provinces, tifito every pro-
vince ^according to the writing thereof,
and unto every people after their lan-
guage, and to the Jews according to
their writing, and according to their
language. "^And he wrote 'in the king .0
Ahasuerus' name, and sealed it with
the king's ring, and sent letters by posts
on horseljack, and riders on ^ mules,
'camels, (?;/// young dromedaries : ■■ where- n
in the king granted the Jews which were
in every city to gather themselves toge-
ther, and to stand for their life, to
destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish,
all the power of the people and pro-
vince that would assault them, both
httle ones and women, and "to fake
12 the spoil of them for a prey, >^upon
one day in all the provinces of king
Ahasuerus, namely, upon the thirteenth
day of the twelfth month, which is the
13 month Adar. vThe copy of the writing
for a commandment to be given in every
province was 'published unto all peo-
ple, and that the Jews should be ready
against that day to avenge themselves
14 on their enemies. So the posts that
rode upon ^mules and 'camels went out,
being hastened and pressed on by the
king's commandment, and the decree
15 was given at Shushan the palace. And
Mordecai went out from the presence
of the king ^in royal apparel of 'blue
and white, and with a great crown of
gold, and with a garment of ^fine linen
and ''purple: and '=the city of Shushan
16 rejoiced and was glad. The Jews had
''light, and gladness, and joy, and ho-
17 nour. And in every province, and in
every city, whithersoever the king's com-
mandment and his decree came, the
Jews had joy and gladness, a feast and
''a good day. And many of the people
of the land became Jews; for fthe fear
of the Jews fell upon them.
Now "in the twelfth month, that is,
the month Adar, on the thirteenth day
of the same, when ''the king's com-
mandment and his decree drew near
to be put in execution, in the day that
the enemies of the Jews hoped to have
power over them, (though it was turned
to the contrary, that the Jews had rule
2 over them that hated them;) the Jews
'^gathered themselves together in their
cities throughout all the provinces of
the king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on
such as ''sought their hurt: and no man
could withstand them; for =the fear of
3 them fell upon all people. And all
the rulers of the provinces, and the
f lieutenants, and the s deputies, and
' officers of the king, helped the Jews ;
because the fear of Mordecai fell upon
4 them. For Mordecai was great in the
king's house, and his fame went out
throughout all the provinces : for this man
Mordecai ''waxed greater and greater.
5 Thus the Jews smote all their enemies

And in Shushan tlie palace the Jews 6
slew and destroyed five hundred men.
And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and ^

Aridatha, and Parmashta, and Arisai, 9
and Aridai, and Vajezatha, ' the ten 10
sons of Haman the son of Hamme-
datha, the enemy of the Jews, slew
they; but ''on the spoil laid they not
their hand.
On that day the number of those n
that were slain in Shushan the palace
'was brought before the king. And the 12
king said unto Esther the queen. The
Jews have slain and destroyed five hun-
dred men in Shushan the palace, and
the ten sons of Haman ; what have they
done in the rest of the king's provinces?
now what is thy petition? and it shall
be granted thee : or 'what is thy request
further? and it shall be done. Then 13
said Esther, If it please the king, let
it be granted to the Jews which are
in Shushan to do "to morrow also ac-
cording unto this day's decree, and
'let Haman's ten sons be hanged upon
the gallows. And the king command- 14
ed it so to be done: and the decree
was given at Shushan; and they hanged
Haman's ten sons. For the Jews that 15
were in Shushan "gathered themselves
together on the fourteenth day also of
the month Adar, and slew three hun-
dred men at Shushan; but °on the prey
they laid not their hand. But the other 16
Jews Pthat 7vcre in the king's provinces
"gathered themselves together, and stood
for their lives, and had rest from their
enemies, and slew of their foes seventy
and five thousand, but ''they laid not
their hands on the prey, on the thir-17
teenth day of the month Adar; and on
the fourteenth day 'of the same rested
they, and made it a day of feasting
and gladness. But the Jews that wercis
at Shushan assembled together ion the
thirteenth day thereof, and on the four-
teenth thereof; and on the fifteenth day
of the same they rested, and made it
a day of feasting and gladness. There- 19
fore the Jews "'of the villages, that dwelt
in the '^unwalled towns, made the four-
teenth day of the month Adar a day
of gladness and feasting, and 'a good
day, and of "sending portions one to

And Mordecai wrote these things, and so
sent letters unto all the Jews that were

to do as they had begun, and as Morde- ('^=''-)-

Job ^arose, and •'■rent his 'mantle, and

Again ^there was a day when the sons
of God came to present themselves be-
fore the Lord, and Satan came also
among them to present himself before
the Lord. ''And the Lord said unto 2
Satan, From whence comest thou? And
Satan answered the Lord, and said.
From going to and fro in the earth, and
from walking up and down in it. <^And 3
the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou
considered my servant Job, that there is
none like him in the earth, a perfect and
an upright man, one that feareth God,
and escheweth evil? and still he "^hold-
eth fast his *= integrity, although thou
movedst me against him, 'to destroy
him ^without cause. And Satan answer- 4
ed the Lord, and said, Skin for skin,
yea, all that a man hath will he give for
his life. sBut put forth thine hand now, s
and touch his bone and his flesh, and he
will ''curse thee to thy face. 'And the 6
Lord said unto Satan, Behold, he is in
thine hand; "but save his life. So went 7
Satan forth from the presence of the
Lord, and smote Job with sore J boils
''from the sole of his foot unto his crown.
And he took him a potsherd to scrape s
himself withal ; 'and he sat down among
the ashes. Then said his wife unto him, 9
""Dost thou still "retain thine integrity?
''curse God, and die. But he said unto 10
her. Thou speakest as °one of the fool-
ish 7i'omcn speaketh. 'What? p shall we
receive good at the hand of God, and
shall we not receive evil? <iln all this
did not Job 'sin with his lips.
Now when Job's three friends heard n
of all this evil that was come upon him,
they came every one from his own place;
Eliphaz the ^Temanite, and Bildad the
'Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite:
for they had "made an appointment to-
gether to come "to mourn with him and
to comfort him. And when they lift 12
up their eyes afar off, and knew him not,
they lifted up their voice, and wept; and
they '"rent every one his mantle, and
sprinkled •'' dust upon their heads toward
heaven. So they sat down with him 13
upon the ground vseven days and seven
nights, and none spake a word unto
him : for they saw that his grief was very
great.
After this opened Job his mouth, and
! cursed his day. And Job 'spake, and
said,
i ''Let the day perish wherein I was
born,
And the night in 7vhich it ivas said,
There is a man child conceived.
I Let that day be darkness;
Let not God regard it from above,
Neither let the light shine upon it.
; Let darkness and ''the shadow of death
'^'' stain it;
Let a cloud dwell upon it;
" Let the blackness of the day terrify it.
As for that night, let darkness seize
upon it;
'Let it not be joined unto the days of
the year.
Let it not come into the number of
the months.
7 Lo, let that night be ''solitary.
Let no "^joyful voice come therein.
: Let them curse it that curse the day.
Who are ready to raise up "their
mourning.
I Let the stars of the twilight thereof
be dark;
Let it look for light, but have none;
Neither let it see 'the dawning of the
day:
Because it shut not up the doors of
my mothei-'s womb.
Nor hid sorrow from mine eyes.
fWhy died I not from the womb?
IVhy did I snot give up the ghost
when I came out of the belly?
: Why did ''the knees prevent me?
Or why the breasts that I should
suck?
1 For now should I have lien still and
been quiet,
I should have slept : then had I been
at rest.
With kings and counsellers of the
earth,
Which built desolate places for them-
selves;
i Or with princes that had gold.
Who filled their houses joitk silver:
Or as a hidden 'untimely birth I had
not been;
As infants which never saw light.
There the wicked cease/rflm troubling;
And there the 'weary be at rest.
; There the prisoners ^rest together;
''They hear not the voice of the op-
pressor.

The small and great are there ; 19
And the servant is free from his

Wherefore is light given to him that is 20
in misery,
And life unto the 'bitter in soul;
Which '"long for death, but it comethi-i
not;
And dig for it more than for "hid
treasures;
Which rejoice "exceedingly, 22
And are glad, when they can find the
grave ?
P Why is light gitvn to a man 1 whose 23
way is hid.
And ■'whom God hath hedged in?
For my sighing cometh 'before I eat, 24
And my roarings are poured out like
the waters.
For ' the thing which I greatly feared 25
is come upon me,
And that which I was afraid of is
come unto me.
I was not in safety, neither had 1 26
rest, neither was I quiet;
Yet trouble came.
Then ^Eliphaz the Temanite answer-
ed and said,
If loe assay 'to commune with thee, 2
wilt thou ''be grieved?
But 'who can withhold himself from
speaking?
Behold, thou hast instructed many, 3
And thou '^hast strengthened the weak
hands.
Thy words have upholden <^him that 4
was falling.
And thou ''hast strengthened 'the
feeble knees.
But now it is come upon thee, and s
thou '^faintest;
It toucheth thee, and thou art trou-
bled.
Is not this '^thy fear, thy fconfi- 6
dence.
Thy hope; and *the uprightness of thy
ways?
Remember, I pray thee, who ever 7
perished, being innocent?
Or where were the righteous cut otP
Even as I have seen, sthey that plow s

And sow ''wickedness, reap the same.

When "deep sleep falleth on men.

Which made 'all my bones to shake.
15 Then Pa spirit passed before my

The hair of my flesh 1 stood up:
16 It stood still, but I could not discern
the form thereof:
'■.A.n image was before mine eyes,
' Tha-e was silence, and I heard a
voice, saying,
17 ^Shall mortal man be more just than
God?
Shall a man be more pure than his
Maker?
iS Behold, he 'put no trust in his ser-

'And his angels "he charged with

Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; n
I will speak in the anguish of my

I will "complain Pin the bitterness of
my soul.
Am I a sea, or a whale, 12
That thou settest a watch over me?
iWhen I say, My bed shall comfort 13
me,
My couch shall ■'ease my "complaint;
'Then thou scarest me with dreams, 14
And terrifiest me through visions:
So that my soul chooseth strangling, 15
And death rather 'than my life.
1 'loathe it ; I would not live alway: 16
"Let me alone; for my days are

>'What is man, that thou shouldest 17
magnify him?
And that thou shouldest ^set thine
heart upon him ?
And that thou shouldest visit him is
^every morning.
And try him ''every moment?
How long wilt thou not "depart from 19
me,
Nor let me alone till I swallow down
my spittle ?
I have sinned ; what shall I do unto 20
thee,
O thou ''preserver of men?
Why hast thou set me as a "mark
against thee.
So that I am a burden to myself?
And why dost thou not pardon my 21
transgression.
And take away mine iniquity?
For now shall I sleep in the dust;
And thou shalt ^ seek me in the morn-
ing, but I s/ia// not be.
Then answered "Bildad the Shuhite,

And /loici /t»/j^ shall the words of thy

"^Doth God ])ervert judgment? 3
Or ''doth the Almighty pervert jus-

If "thy children have sinned against 4

And he have cast them away 'for their
transgression;
Qf thou wouldest sseek unto God be- 5

And make thy supplication to the Al-
mighty;
If thou wcii pure and upright;
Surely now he would awake for thee.
And make the habitation of thy right-
eousness prosperous.
Though thy beginning -n-as small,
Yet thy latter end should greatly in-
crease.
''For inquire, I pray thee, of the for-
mer age.
And prepare thyself to the search of
their fathers :
(For 'we are but of yesterday, and
know 'nothing,
Because our days upon earth are -"a
shadow :)
Shall not they teach thee, and \.A\ thee,
And utter words out of their heart?
Can the ''rush grow up without mire?
Can the 'flag grow without water?
'"Whilst it is yet in his greenness, and
not cut down,
It withereth before any other herb.
So are the paths of all that forget God ;
And the "hypocrite's hope shall perish :
Whose hope shall be cut off,
And whose trust shall be * a spider's web.
He shall lean upon "his house, but it
shall not stand :
He shall hold it fast, but it shall not
endure.
He is Pgreen before the sun.
And his 1 branch shooteth forth in his
garden.
His roots are ''wrapped about the heap,
And seeth the place of stones.
If he destroy him 'from his place.
Then // shall deny him, ^saying, I have
not seen thee.
Behold, this is the joy of his way.
And "out of the earth shall others grow.
Behold, God will not cast away a per-
fect man,
Neither will he 'help the evil doers:
Till he ^fill thy mouth with laughing.
And thy lips with 'rejoicing.

XIX. Then Job answered and said,
How long will ye vex my soul, 2
And break me in pieces with words?
These ^ten times have ye reproached 3
me:
You are not ashamed that you 'make
yourselves strange to me.
And be it indeed that I have erred, 4
Mine error remaineth with myself.
If indeed ye will ''magnify yourselves 5
against me,
And plead against me my reproach:
Know now that God hath "^over- 6
thrown me.
And hath compassed me with his net.
Behold, ''I cry out of "wrong, but I 7
am not heard :
^ I cry aloud, but there is no judgment.
'He hath fenced up my way that I s
cannot pass.
And he hath set darkness in my paths.
(■He hath stript me of my glory, 9
And taken sthe crown from my head.
"His confidence shall be "rooted outn
of his s tabernacle.
And it shall bring him to >'the king of
terrors.
It shall dwell in his ^tabernacle, be- 15
cause // is none of his :
'Brimstone shall be scattered upon
his habitation.
His ^roots shall be dried up beneath, 16
And above shall his branch be ''cut
off".
"^His remembrance shall perish from 17
the earth,
And he shall have no name ''in the
street.
*He shall be driven from light into iS
darkness.
And chased out of the world.
He shall neither have =son nor "^ne-ip
phew among his people,
Nor S(7//v remaining in his ''dwellings.
They that come after him shall be 20
astonied at 'his day.
As they that 'went before 'were af-
frighted.
Surely such are the dwellings of the 21
wicked,
And this is the place of him that
''knoweth not God.

And "when he hideth his face, who
then can behold him?
Whether it be done against a nation.
Or against a man only:
That the hypocrite reign not.
Lest •'''the people be ensnared.
Surely it is ?nect to be said unto God,
I yhave borne chastisement, I will not
^offend any more:
^That which I see not teach thou
me:
If I have done iniquity, I will do no
more.
^Should it be according to thy mind?
he will recompense it,
Whether thou refuse, or whether thou
choose; and not I :
Therefore ''speak what thou knowest.
Let men 'of understanding tell me,
And let a wise man hearken unto me.
Job hath spoken "^without knowledge,
And his words wor without wisdom.
"My desire is that Job may be tried
unto the end
Because oi his answers for wicked men.
For he addeth rebellion unto his sin,
He clappeth ^his hands amongst us,
And raultiplieth his words against
God.

Elihu "spake moreover, and said,
Thinkest thou this to be right, 2
That thou saidst, ''My righteousness
is more than God'j?
For thou saidst, *: What advantage will 3
it be unto thee?
And, dWhat profit shall I have, '///
be cleansed from my sin?
*I will answer thee, ^
And '^thy companions with thee.
■^ Look unto the heavens, and see; 5
And behold the clouds which are high-
er than thou.
If thou sinnest, swhat doest thou a- 6
gainst him?
Or if thy transgressions be multiplied,
what doest thou unto him?
''If thou be righteous, what givest 7
thou him?
Or what receiveth he of thine hand?
Thy wickedness may hurt 'a man as s
thou art ;
And thy righteousness may profit 'the
son of man.
By reason of the multitude of ''op- 9
pressions they 'make the oppressed 10
They 'cry out by reason of the arm of
the mighty.
But none .saith, Where is God ""my 10
Maker,
"Who giveth songs °in the night;
Who teacheth us more than the beasts n
of the earth.
And maketh us wiser than the fowls
of heaven?
There they cry, I'but none giveth an- 12
swer,
Because of the pride of evil men.
Surely God will not hear vanity, 13
Neither will the Almighty "^regard it.
Although thou sayest "^thou shall not 14
see him.
Yet judgment is before him; therefore
^trust thou in him.
But now, because it is not so, ^hcis
hath 'visited in his anger;
Yet "he knoweth // not in great ex-
tremity :
Therefore doth Job "open his mouth 16
^in vain;
He ymultiplieth words ^without know-
ledge.
Elihu also proceeded, and said.
Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee 2
' That / have yet to speak on God's
behalf.
I will fetch my =" knowledge from afar.
And will ascribe righteousness to ''my
Maker.
For tnily my words shall not be false :
He that is '^perfect in knowledge is
with thee.
Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth
not ^a/iy:
He is <^mighty in strength and ♦wis-
dom.
He preserveth not the life of the
wicked :
But giveth right to the 'poor.
He fwithdraweth not his eyes from
the righteous :
But with kings are they Son the throne;
Yea, he doth ''establish them for ever,
and they are e.xalted.
And \{ they be "'bound in '^ fetters,
And be hoklen in cords of 'affliction;
Then he sheweth them their 'work.
And their transgressions that they
■"have exceeded.
"He openeth also their ear to disci-
pline.
And commandeth that they return
from iniquity.
"If they obey and serve p///w,
They shall 1 spend their days in pros-
perity.
And their )'ears ■'in pleasures.
"But if they obey not,
'They shall perish by the sword,
And they shall die ^without know-
ledge.
But the hypocrites in heart 'heap up
wrath :
They cry not when he "bindeth them.
"'They die in youth,
And their life is among the 'unclean.
He delivereth the 'poor in his afflic-
tion.
And "openeth their ears in oppression.
Even so would he have >' removed

Hast thou given the horse strength? 19
Hast thou clothed his neck with thun-
der?
Canst thou make him afraid as a 20
"grasshopper?
The glory of his >'nostrils is 'terrible.
'He paweth in the valley, and re- 21
joiceth in his strength.
^He goeth on to meet 'the armed men.
He "mocketh at fear, and is not af-22
frighted ;
Neither turneth he back from the
sword.
The quiver rattleth against him, 23
The ''glittering spear and the "^shield.
He swalloweth the ground with fierce- 24
ness and rage :
Neither believeth he that it is the
sound of the ''trumpet.
He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; 25
And he smelleth the battle afar off,
The thunder of the captains, and the
shouting.
Doth the "^hawk ffly by thy wisdom, 26
And stretch her wings toward the
south?
Doth the eagle mount up ' at thy 27
command.
And make her snest on high?
She dwelleth and ''abideth on the 28
rock.
Upon the 'crag of the rock, and the
''strong place.
From thence sheJseeketh the prey, 29
And her eyes behold afar off.
Her young ones also suck up blood : 30
And ''where the slain arc, there is
she.
Moreover the Lord ^answered Job,
and said,
Shall he that ''contendeth with the 2
Almighty instruct ////;/.■'
He that reproveth God, let him answer
it.
Then Job answered the Lord, and 3
said,

Where all the beasts of the field play.

''Wherefore I abhor ''^myself, and re- 6
pent
In ■'dust and "^i ashes.
And it was so, that after the Lord had
spoken these words unto Job, the Lord
said to " EHphaz the Teraanite, My wrath
is kindled against thee, and against thy
two friends : for ye have not spoken of
me the thing that is "right, as my servant
Job hath. Therefore take unto you now
"seven bullocks and seven rams, and go
to my servant Job, and Poffer up for
yourselves a burnt offering; and my ser-
vant Job shall ipray for you: for 'him
will I accept : lest / deal with you after
your folly, in that ye have not spoken
of me the thing which is "right, like my
servant Job. So "Eliphaz the Teman-
ite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar
the Naamathite went, and did according
as the Lord commanded them : the
Lord also accepted 'Job. And the 1
Lord turned the captivity of Job, when
he prayed for his friends : also the Lord
'gave Job ^twice as much as he had
11 before. Then came there unto him all
his 'brethren, and all his sisters, and all
they that had been of his 'acquaintance
before, and did eat bread with him in
his house : and they "bemoaned him, and
"comforted him over all the evil that the
Lord had brought upon him : every man
also gave him •''a piece of money, and
every one an >' earring of gold.
12 So the Lord blessed ^the latter end
of Job more than his beginning: for he
had ''fourteen thousand sheep, and six
thousand camels, and a thousand yoke
13 of oxen, and a thousand she asses. ''He
had also seven sons and three daughters.
14 And he called the name of the first,
Jemima; and the name of the second,
Kezia ; and the name of the third,
15 Keren-happuch. And in all the land
were no women found so fair as the
daughters of Job: and '^ their father gave
them inheritance among their brethren.
16 After this lived Job an hundred and forty
years, and ''saw his sons, and his sons'
17 sons, eveyi four generations. So Job died,
being old and "^full of days.

I will call upon the Lord, who is

So shall I be saved from mine ene-

The 'sorrows of death compassed 4
me,
And the floods of 'ungodly men made
me afraid.
The 'sorrows of hell compassed me 5
about :
The snares of death ^ prevented
me.
^^\n my distress I called upon the 6
Lord,
And cried unto my God:
He heard my voice out of his tem-
ple,
And my cry came before him, n'en
into his ears.
Then the earth shook and trembled ; 7
The foundations also ^of the hills
moved
And were shaken, because he was
wroth.
There went up a smoke *out of his 8
nostrils,
And f fire out of his mouth devoured :
Coals were kindled by it.
He bowed the heavens also, and 9
came down:
And darkness 2ms under his feet.
And he rode upon a cherub, and did 10
fly:
Yea, he did sfly upon the wmgs of
the wind.
He made darkness his secret place; n
His pavilion round about him
IVcre ""dark waters and thick clouds
of the skies.
At the brightness t/iat was before 12
him his thick clouds passed,
'Hail-s/oncs and coals of fire.
The Lord also thundered in the 13
heavens.
And the Highest gave his voice ;
' Kail-sto/ifs and coals of fire.
Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scat- 14
tered them ;
And he shot out lightnings, and dis-
comfited them.
Then ' the channels of waters were is
seen,
And the foundations of the world
were discovered
At thy rebuke, O Lord,
At the blast of the breath of thy nos-
trils.
He sent from above, he took me, 16
He drew me out of ' many waters.
3 I 17 He delivered me from my strong
enemy.
And from them which hated me : JJ for '' ^^- '■•2. 6.
they were too strong for me.
4 I i3 They ''prevented me in the day of
my calamity:
But the Lord was my stay.
He brought me forth also into a large
place ;
He delivered me, because he delight-
ed in me.
The Lord rewarded me according to
my righteousness;
According to the cleanness of my
hands hath he recompensed me.
For I have kept the ways of the
Lord,
And have not wickedly departed from
my God.
For all his judgments 7i'crt' before me,
And '' I did not put away his statutes
from me.
I was also upright 'before him,
And I kept myself from mine ini-
quity.
Therefore hath the Lord recom-
pensed me according to my righte-
ousness.
According to the cleanness of my
hands 'in his eyesight.
With the merciful thou wilt shew thy-
self merciful ;
With an upright man thou wilt shew
thyself upright;
With the pure thou wilt shew thyself
pure;
And with the froward thou wilt 'shew
thyself froward.
For thou wilt save the afflicted peo-
ple ;
But wilt bring down 'high looks.
For thou wilt "light my "candle:
The Lord my God will enlighten my
darkness.
For by thee I have ' run through a
troop ;
And by my God have I leaped over
a wall.
As for God, his way is perfect :
The word of the Lord is 'tried:
He is a buckler to all those that trust
in him.

me speedily:
Be thou 'my strong rock,

1 will be glad and rejoice in thy 7
mercy :
For thou hast considered my trou-
ble;
Thou hast "known my soul in adver-
sities;
And hast not Pshut me up into the a
hand of the enemy :
Thou hast set my feet lin a large
room.
■■Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for 9
"I am in trouble:
^Mine eye is consumed with grief,
yea, my soul and my belly.
For my life is spent with grief, and 10
my years with sighing:
]My strength faileth because of mine
'iniquity, and "my bones are con-
sumed.

ance :

='For I have heard the slander of
many:

While they took counsel together
against me.
They devised to take away my life.
But <= I trusted in thee, O Lord :

''My times are in thy hand:
'Deliver me from the hand of mine
enemies, and "=from them that per-
secute me.
•^Make thy face to shine upon thy

Save me for thy mercy's sake.
sLet me not be ashamed, O Lord;
for I have called upon thee:
Let the wicked be ashamed, (?«(/'' "let
them be silent in the grave.
Let the lying lips be put to silence;
Which speak 'grievous things 'proudly
and contemptuously against the
righteous.
O how great is thy goodness, ''which
thou hast laid up for them that fear
thee;
Whicli thou hast wrought for them
that trust in thee
' Before the sons of men !
Thou shalt hide them in "the secret
of thy presence from the pride of
man :
Thou shalt ""keep them secretly in a
pavilion from "the strife of tongiaes.
Blessed be the Lord: for Phe hath
shewed me his mar\'ellous kind-
ness in a "strong city.
For 1I said in my haste, ■'I am cut
off "from before thine eyes :
Nevertheless thou heardest ""the voice
of my supplications when I cried
unto thee.
O love the Lord, all ye his 'saints:
For the Lord preserveth the faithful.

•■"Blessed is he whose transgres-
sion is forgiven, whose sin is
covered.
Blessed is the man unto whom j
the Lord '^imputeth not ini-
quity,
And "^in whose spirit there is no guile.
When I kept silence, "^my bones 3
waxed old
Through my ■= roaring all the daylong.
For day and night thy ^hand was ^
heavy upon me:
My snioisture is turned into the
drought of summer. Selah.
I ''acknowledged my sin unto thee, 5
And mine iniquity have I not hid.
'I said, I will confess my transgres-
sions unto the Lord;
And thou forgavest the iniquitj' of my
sin. Selah.
For this shall everyone that is "godly 6
pray unto thee J*in a time when
thou mayest be found :
Surely in the floods of great waters
they shall not come nigh unto him.
Thou art my "^hiding place; thou 7
shalt preserve me 'from trouble;
Thou shalt compass me about icith
"'songs of deliverance. Selah.
I will instruct thee and teach thee in s
the way which thou shalt go:
' I will guide thee with mine eye.
"Be ye not as the horse, ,
Or as the mule, which have no under-
standing:
"Whose mouth must be held in with
bit and bridle,
Lest they come near unto thee.
p Many sorrows shai/ he to the wicked : 10
But ihe that trusteth in the Lord,
mercy shall compass him about.

That ^there is no fear of God

But thou, O Lord, <=be merciful un-

By this I know that thou favourest
me.
Because mine enemy doth not triumph
over me.
And as for me, 'thou upholdest me

When I remember these things, ^I 4
pour out my soul in me :
For I had gone with the multitude,
I Swent with them to the house of
God,
With the voice of j'oy and praise,
7cnth a multitude that kept holy-
day.
••Why art thou * cast down, O my 5
soul ? and ^ why art thou ' dis-
quieted in me?
J Hope thou in God : for I shall yet
'"'praise him
' For the help of his countenance.
0 my God, my soul is cast down 6
within me : therefore will I remem-
ber thee
' From the land of Jordan, and of
the "" Hermonites, from " the hill
Mizar.
" Deep calleth unto deep at the noise 7
of thy ° waterspouts :
P All thy 1 waves and thy billows are
gone over me.
Yet the Lord will "■ command his lov- s
ingkindness in the daytime.
And ^ in the night his song shall he
with me.
And my prayer unto the God of my
life.
1 will say unto God 'my rock. Why 9
hast thou forgotten me ?
"Why go I mourning because of the
oppression of the enemy ?
As with a " sword in my bones, mine 10
enemies reproach me ;
= While they say daily unto me.
Where is thy God ?
''Why art thou cast down, O myn
soul ? and why art thou discjuieted
within me ?
Hope thou in God : for I shall yet
praise him,
Who is the health of my countenance,
and my God.
^ Judge me, O God, and ^jjlead
my cause against an " ungodly
nation :
O deliver me ' from the deceitful and
unjust man.
For thou art '^the God of my strength : 2
why dost thou '^cast me off?
<^ Why go I mourning because of the
oppression of the enemy ?
O send out thy light and thy truth : 3
let them lead me ;
Let them bring me unto ^thy holy
hill, and to f'thy tabernacles.
Then will I go unto the altar of God,
Unto God * my exceeding joy :
Yea, upon the harp will I praise thee,
O God my God.
sWhy art thou cast down, O my
soul ? and why art thou disquieted
within me ?
Hope in God ; for I shall yet praise
him,
]]'ho is the health of my countenance,

To the chief Musician for * the sons of Korah,

^Ve have heard with our ears, O
God,

]Vhat work thou didst in their days,
in ''the times of old.
IIoK' thou didst '^ drive out the hea-
then with thy hand, and ''plantedst
them ;

For they got not the land in posses-
sion f by their own sword.
Neither did their own ami save
them :
But thy right hand, and thine arm,
and '^'^the light of thy countenance,
E Because thou hadst a favour unto
them.
^' Thou art my King, O God :
' Command deliverances for Jacob.
Through thee will we ^ push down
our enemies :
Through thy name will we ' tread
them under that rise up against us.
\ For ™ I will not trust 'in my bow.
Neither shall my sword save me.
But thou hast saved us from our ene-
mies,
And hast "put them to shame that
hated us.
! ° In God we boast all the day long.
And praise thy name for ever.
Selah.
I But thou hast p cast off, and put
us to shame;
And igoest not forth with our armies.
J Thou makest us to ''turn back from
the enemy:
And they which hate us spoil for them-
selves.
[ ^Thou hast given us 'like sheep ap-
pointed for meat;
And hast 'scattered us among the
heathen.

To the chief Musician *upon Shoshannim, for

i loves.
My heart 'is inditing a good matter:
I speak of the things which I have
made touching the king :
My tongue is the ^pen of ''a ready
writer.
Thou art fairer than the children of
men :
•^ Grace is poured into thy lips :
Therefore God hath blessed thee for
ever.
''Gird thy sword '^upon thy thigh,
fQ most mighty.
With thy gglory and thy majesty.
And in thy majesty "'ride prosper-
ously
Because of truth and meekness and
righteousness ;
And thy right hand shall teach thee
'terrible things.
Thine J arrows arc sharp
In the heart of the king's enemies ;
Whereby the people fall under thee.
'^Thy throne, O God, is for ever
and ever:
The sceptre of thy kingdom is a
right sceptre.
'Thou lovest righteousness, and
hatest wickedness :
Therefore "'"God, thy God, hath
"anointed thee
With the oil of "gladness above
thy fellows.
All thy garments smell of Pmyrrh, and
P aloes, and cassia,
Out of the ivory palaces, whereby
they have made thee glad.
Kings' daughters were among ithy
honourable 7vomeii:
■■Upon thy right hand did stand the
''queen in 'gold of "Ophir.
Hearken, O daughter, and consider,
and incline thine ear ;
"Forget also thine own people, and
thy father's house;
So shall the king greatly desire thy
beauty :
For he is "^thy Lord; and >' worship
thou him.
And the daughter of Tyre shall be
there with ^a gift;
Even ^the rich among the people shall
intreat 'thy favour.
The king's daughter is ''all glorious
^within :
Her clothing is of wrought gold.
''She shall be brought unto the king
'in raiment of needlework :
The virgins her companions that fol-
low her shall be brought unto
thee.
With gladness and rejoicing shall
they be brought :
They shall enter into the king's pa-
lace.

To the chief Musician "upon .Shcshannim,
A Psalm of t David.
Save me, O God; for ='the waters are
come in ''unto my soul.
^•^I sink in *deep mire, where there is
no standing:
I am come into 'deep waters, where
^the floods '='= overflow me.
^I am weary of my crying : my throat
is dried:
sMine eyes fail ''while / wait for my
God.
'They that hate me without a
cause Jare moe than the hairs of
mine head:
They that would destroy me, being
mine enemies wrongfully, are
mighty :
'^Then I restored that which I took
not away.
0 God, thou knowest my foolishness;
And my 'sins are not hid from thee.
Let not them that wait on thee, O
Lord God of hosts, be ashamed for
my sake:
Let not those that seek thee be con-
founded for my sake, O God of
Israel.
Because 'for thy sake I have borne
reproach ;
Shame hath covered my face.
1 ""am become a stranger unto "my
brethren.
And an alien unto my mother's chil-
dren.
For "the zeal of thine house hath
eaten me up;
And Pthe reproaches of them
that reproached thee are fall-
en upon me.
When I wept, and chastened imy soul
with fasting.
That was to my reproach.
I made i'' sackcloth also my garment;
And I became ^a proverb to them.
They that sit in the gate speak against
me;
And /was the 'song of the 'drunkards.
But as for me, "my prayer is unto
thee, O Lord, '"in an acceptable
time:
O God, in the multitude of thy mercy
hear me, in the truth of thy salva-
tion.
Deliver me " out of the mire, and let
me not >sink:
^Let me be delivered from them that
hate me, and out of the vdeep

II A Psalm of • Asaph.
' Truly God is good to ^Israel,
Even to such as are ' of a clean
heart.
But as for me, my feet were almost
■'gone ;
My steps had well nigh .slipt.
"^For I was ''envious at the *= foolish,
When I saw the '^prosperity of the
wicked.
For there arc no e bands in their
death :
But their strength is 'firm.
They are not ' in trouble as other
men;
Neither are they "^ plagued ' like other
men.
" Therefore pride compasseth them
about ' as a cliain ;
Violence covereth them J as a gar-
ment.
''Their eyes stand out with fatness:
' They have more than heart could
wish.
They are corrupt, and speak wickedly
concerning oppression :
' They speak "'loftily.
They set their mouth against the hea-
vens.
And their tongue walketh through the
earth.
"Therefore his people return hither:
And waters of a full °ctip Pare wrung
out to them.
And they say, i How doth God
know?
And is there knowledge in the most
High?
Behold, these arc the ungodly,
' \Vho prosper in the world ; they in-
crease in riches.
^Verily I have cleansed my heart in
vain,
And 'washed my hands in innocency.
For all the day long have I been
'' plagued,
And 'chastened "every morning.
If I say, I will speak "thus ;
Behold, I should offend against ''the
generation of thy children.
AVhen I "thought to know this,
'It was too painful for me;
Until I went into "the sanctuary of
God;
Then y understood I ^ their end.

I remembered God, and was = trou-
bled :
I complained, and ^my spirit was
8 overwhelmed. Selah.
Thou holdest mine eyes waking :
I am so ^ troubled that I cannot
speak.
I have 'considered "the days of old,
JThe years of ancient times.
I call to remembrance my '' song ' in
the night :
I commune with mine own heart :
And my spirit made diligent search.
Will the Lord "cast off for ever?
And will he "be favourable no more?
Is his mercy clean gone for ever?
Doth °kis promise fail 'for evermore?
PHath God forgotten to be gracious? -
<5 Hath he in anger shut up his tender
mercies ? Selah.
And I said. This is 'my infirmity : i<
But I will remember the years of the
right hand of the most High.
I will remember the works of nheu
Lord :
Surely 'I will remember thy "won-
ders of old.
'I will meditate also of all ^thy work, u
And 'talk of >'thy doings.
Thy way, O God, is in =^the sane- 1;
tuary :
^ Who is so great a God as oicr God ?
Thou art the God ^''that doest "won- 14
ders :
Thou hast ^''declared thy strength
among the people.
Thou hast '^with thine axra '='1 redeemed
thy people,
The sons of Jacob and <*<^ Joseph.
Selah.
^fThe waters saw thee, O God, the 16
waters saw thee; ''they were afraid:
The depths also "^were troubled.
'The clouds ' poured out water: ij
The skies ssent out a sound :
■i Thine arrows also went abroad.
'The voice of thy thunder icas in the 18
heaven :
•^The lightnings lightened the world :
'The earth "'trembled and 'shook.
"Thy way is in the sea, ,g

y Marvellous things did he in the sight ■=
of their fathers,
In the land of Egypt, in ^the field of
Zoan.
He ^divided the sea, and caused 13
them to pass through ;
And he •'made the waters to stand as
a heap.
<= In the daytime also he led them 14
with a cloud.
And all the night with a light of fire.
•^He clave the rocks in the wilder- is
ness,
And gave them drink as out of the
great depths.
He brought ''''streams also out ofi6
" the rock,
And caused waters to run down like
rivers.
And they sinned yet more against 17
him
By fprovoking the most High in the
^wilderness.
And i' they tempted God in their is
heart
By asking meat for their lust.
Yea, they spake against God ; they 19
said,
'Can God ' furnish a table in the wil-
derness ?
Behold, Jhe smote the rock, that ''the 20
waters gushed out,
And the streams overflowed ;
Can he give bread also ?
Can he ' provide flesh for his people?
Therefore the Lord heard this, and 21
""was wroth :
So "a fire was kindled against "Jacob,
And anger also Pcame up against "Is-
rael ;
Because they 1 believed not in God, 22
And trusted not in his salvation:
Though he had commanded the clouds 23
from above,
And ""opened the doors of heaven.
And had * rained down manna upon 24
them to eat,
And had given them of 'the corn of
heaven.
' Man did eat "angels' food : 25
He sent them meat "to the full.
He caused an east wind ' to blow in 26

I 31 The wrath of God =came upon them,
And slew the ''fattest of them.
And 'smote down the "chosen meii of

32 For all this sthey sinned still,
1 And ''believed not for his wondrous

33 Therefore 'their days did he consume

And their years in trouble.
When he slew them, then they
' sought him :
And they 'returned and ''"inquired
early after Cjod.
And they remembered that "God 7L'as
their rock,
And the high God "their redeemer.
Nevertheless they did p flatter him
with their mouth.
And they 'Jlied unto him with their
tongues.
For ''their heart was not '^right with

Neither were they ''stedfast in his co-
venant.
But he, being ' full of compassion,
" forgave their iniquity, and de-
stroyed them not :
Yea, many a time turned he his anger
away,
And did not stir up all his wrath.

And ^grieve him in "the desert !

blood ;
And their ' floods, that they could not , 60

And "frogs, which destroyed them.
He gave also their increase unto °the46

And their labour unto Pthe locust.
■J He ' destroyed their vines with hail, 47
And their ""sycomore trees with "frost.
'He gave up their cattle also to the 46

And their flocks to " hot thunderbolts.
He cast upon them the fierceness of 49
his anger.
Wrath, and indignation, and trouble,
^By sending evil angels among them.
*He made a way to his anger; so
He spared not their soul from death.
But ' gave ' their life over to the pesti-
lence ;
And "smote all the firstborn in Egypt ; 51
^The chief of their strength in the
tabernacles >of Ham :
But ^made his own people to go forth 52
^ like sheep,
And ^guided them in the wilderness
like a flock.
And ''he ='led them on safely, so that 53
they feared not :
But 'the sea 'overwhelmed their ene-
And he brought them to the border 54
of his ''sanctuary.
Even to this '''^mountain, whieh his
right hand had purchased.
^He cast out the heathen also before 55
them.
And s divided them an inheritance by
''line.
And made the tribes of Israel to dwell
in their tents.
'Yet they ''tempted and 'provoked 56
the most high God,
And kept not his testimonies :
But ""turned hack, and dealt unfaith-57
fully like their fathers :
They were turned aside "like a de-
ceitful bow.
For they "provoked him to anger
with their p high places.
And "i moved hun to jealousy with
their ■'graven images.
\\'hen God heard this, he ^was wroth,
And greatly ' abhorred Israel :
"So that he forsook the ^tabernacle
of'^Shiloh,
"The tent ivhich he "placed among
men ;
And delivered >his strength into ^cap-
tivity,
And his glory into the enemy's hand.
He ^gave his people over also ''unto
the sword;
And '^was wroth with his inheritance.
The fire consumed their young men;
And then- maidens were not 'given to
marriage.
''Their priests fell by the sword;
*And their widows ^made no lamenta-
tion.
Then the Lord Bawaked as one out
of sleep,
And ''like a mighty man that shouteth
by reason of wine.
And 'he smote his enemies in the
hinder parts :
He put them to a perpetual reproach.
Moreover he J refused the tabernacle
of JJ Joseph,
And chose not the tribe of Ephraim :
But chose the tribe of Judah,
The mount Zion '^ which he loved.
And he built his sanctuary like high
pahices.
Like the earth which he hath 'esta-
blished for ever.
70 ""He chose David also his servant,
And took him from the "sheepfolds:
71 'From following the nves "great with
young he brought him
To Pfeed 'ijacob his people.
And 1 1srael ■his inheritance.
72 So he fed them according to the '•in-
tegrity of his heart ;
And 'guided them by the skilfulness
of his hands.

0 Lord ^God of my salvation,
1 have ''cried day^/Wnight before thee :
Let my prayer come before thee :
■^Incline thine ear unto my cry ;
For my soul is full of troubles :
And ''my life draweth nigh unto =the
grave.
I am counted ^with them that
down into the pit:
I am as a man that hath no strength :
Free among the dead,
Like the slain that lie in the grave.
Whom thou srememberest no more:
And they are ''cut oft" "from thy hand.
Thou hast laid me in ' the lowest pit,
^\n darkness, in 'the deeps.
Thy wrath lieth hard upon me,
And thou hast afflicted me with ""all
thy waves. Selah.
Thou hast put away " mine acquaint-
ance far from me ;
Thou hast made me "an abomination
unto them :
/ am Pshut up, "land I cannot come
forth.

Shall "the dead arise and praise thee? i see job

Shall thy lovingkindness sbe declared
in the grave ?
Or thy faithfulness in vdestruction ?
Shall ^thy wonders be known in ^'the

And thy righteousness in the land of
''forgetfulness?
But "^unto thee have I cried, O Lord;
And ''in the morning shall my prayer
" prevent thee.
Lord, why fcastest thou off my soul?
]Vhy ehidest thou thy face from me?
I am afllicted and ready to die from
my youth i/p :
While I suff'er thy terrors I am dis-
tracted.
Thy fierce wrath ''goeth over me;
Thy ' terrors have cut me off".
J They came round about me " daily

another,
From one kingdom to another people ;

And ''let "Satan stand '''at his right

"When he shall be judged, let him 'be
condemned:

Let his days be few;

Let Phis children be fatherless.
And his wife a widow.
Let his children 'ibe continually vaga-

Let them seek ^ their bread also out of

Let the extortioner 'catch all that he
hath ;
And "let the strangers spoil his labour.
Let there be none to "extend mercy
unto him :
Neither let there be "any to favour

Let >'his posterity be cut oft";
And in the generation following let
^their name be blotted out.
Let ''the iniquity of his fathers be re-
membered with the Lord;
And let not the sin of his mother ''be
blotted out.
Let them be before the Lord conti-
nually,
■^That he may cut oft" the memory of
them from the earth.
Because that he remembered not to
shew mercy.
But persecuted ''the poor and needy
man,
That he might even slay the >= broken
in heart.
•^As he loved cursing, so let it come
unto him:
As he delighted not in blessing, so let
it be far from him.
As she clothed himself with cursing
like as with his garment,
So let it ''come 'into his bowels like
water.
And like oil into his bones.
Let it be unto him as the garment
wliich covereth him.
And for a girdle whereri'//// he is
girded continually.
Let this he the reward of 'mine adver-
saries from the Lord,
And of them that speak evil against
my soul.
But do thou for me, O God the Lord,

''Sit thou "^at my right hand,
''Until I make thine enemies thy
•^footstool.
The Lord shall send the frod of thy 2
strength sout of Zion :
•"Rule thou in the midst of thine ene-
mies.
'Thy people shall be willing in the day 3
of thy power, ^in the beauties of
holiness
"From the womb of the morning: thou
hast 'the dew of thy youth.
"•The Lord "hath sworn, and 4
"will not repent,
"'pThou art a ipriest ''for ever
After the order of ^Melchizedek.

PSALM CXXXVIII.
A Psalm of David.
I will praise thee with my whole
heart ;
^ Before the gods will I sing praise
unto thee.
I will worship ''towards <^thy holy tem-
ple.
And praise thy name for diy loving-
kindness and for thy truth :
For thou hast ''magnified ■= thy word
above all thy name.
In the day when I cried thou answer-
edst me.
And fstrengthenedst me ^cith strength
in my soul.
s All the kings of the earth shall praise
thee, O Lord,
When they hear the words of thy
mouth.
Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the
Lord :
For great is the glory of the Lord.
''Though the Lord /vhigh, yet ''■hath
he respect unto the lowly :
But 'the proud he knoweth afar off.
''Though I walk in the midst of trou-
ble, ' thou wilt revive me :
Thou shalt ""stretch forth thine hand
against the wrath of mine enemies.
And thy right hand shall save me.
The Lord will " perfect that which
concerneth me :
"Thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for
ever :
Forsake not p the works of thine own
hands.

I will °mock when your fear cometh ;
When your fear cometh as I'desolation,
And your destruction cometh as a

When distress and anguish cometh

what ea/i the man t/o that cometh "^"^after
the king? '*'^cTcn that which hath been
'^already done. Then I saw 'that wis- 13
dom e.xcelleth "^folly, as far as light ^ex-
celleth darkness. "^The wise ma/i's eyes m
are in his head; but the fool walketh in
darkness: and I myself perceived also
sthat ''one event happeneth to them all.
Then said I in my heart, As ''it happen- 15
eth to the fool, so it 'happeneth even
to me; and why was I then 'more wise?
Then I said in my heart, that this also
is vanity. For f/iere is Jno remembrance 16
of the wise more than of the fool for
ever; seeing f/iat which ^now is, in the
days to come shall all be forgotten.
And show dieth the wise man? as the
fool. Therefore I hated life; because 17
the work that is WTOught under the sun
is grievous unto me: for all « ''vanity
and ve.xation of spirit. Yea, I hated all is
my labour which I /lad 'taken under the
sun: because 'I should leave it unto the
man that shall be ""after me. And 'who 19
knoweth whether he shall be a wise man
or a fool? yet shall he have rule over all
my labour where/« I have laboured, and
where/« I have shewed myself wise un-
der the sun. This /> also vanity. There- 20
fore I """"went about to cause my heart
to despair of all the labour which I took
under the sun. For there is a man 21
whose labour is in wisdom, and in know-
ledge, and in "equity; yet to a man that
hath not laboured therein shall he 'leave
it for his portion. This also is vanity
and a great evil. For what hath man 22
°of all his labour, and of the Pvexation
of his heart, wherein he /lai/i laboured
under the sun? For all ihis days are 23
■■sorrows, and his * travail "■ grief; yea, his
heart taketh not rest in the night. This
is also vanity.
=4 ' T//ere is nothing better for a man,
i/tan that he should eat and drink, and
i/tai he 'should make his soul "enjoy
good in his labour. This also I saw,
"that it was from the hand of God.
25 For who can eat, or who else can hasten
26 hereunto, more than I ? For -^ God giv-
eth to a man that is good 'in his sight
wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to
the sinner he giveth ^travail, 'to gather
and to heap up, ythat he may give to
him that is good before God. This also
is ^vanity and vexation of spirit.
Gen. 7. I. Luke i. 6. y.See Prov. 13. 22. '
To every thing there is a season, and
*a time to every ''purpose under
the heaven:
2 A time 'to be born, and a time to
■^die;
A time to plant, and a time to ''pluck
up that 'which is jjlanted ;
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to

9 J What profit hath he that worketh in
that where/« he laboureth ?
10 I have seen the "^travail, which 'God
hath given to the sons of men ''to be
11 exercised in it. He hath made every
thing "" beautiful "in his time: also he
hath "set the world in their heart, so
that Pno man can find out the work that
God maketh from the beginning to the
12 end. I know ithat there is no good in
them, but for a man to rejoice, and ^to
13 do good in his life. And also ^that
every man should eat and drink, and
'enjoy the good of all his labour, "it is
14 the gift of God. I know that, whatso-
ever God doeth, it shall be for ever:

^nothing can be put to it, nor any thing
taken from it: and God doeth it, that
men should fear before him. >That:5
which hath been, is ^now; and that
which is to be hath ^already been; and
God ^requireth 'that which is past.
And moreover I saw under the sun i6
the place of judgment, that ''wickedness
7i>as there; and the place of righteous-
ness, that iniquity was there. I said in 17
mine heart, ^God shall judge the right-
eous and the wicked: for there is "^a
time ''there for ever}' purpose and for
every work.
I said in my heart "^concerning the is
estate of the sons of men, "that God
might ^manifest them, and that they
might see sthat they themselves are
beasts. For ''that which befalleth the 19
sons of men befalleth beasts; even 'one
thing befalleth them : as the one dieth,
so dieth the other; yea, they have all
one breath ; so that a man hath no pre-
eminence above a beast : for all is vanity.
All go unto one place; ''all are of the 20
dust, and all tum to dust again. Who 21
knoweth 'the spirit *of man that *goeth
upward, and the spirit of the beast that
goeth downward to the earth? Where- 22
fore I perceive "'that there is nothing
better, than that a man should rejoice
in his own works; for "that is his por-
tion : for who shall bring him to see
"what shall be after him?
" See ch. 2. 10. » ch. 6. 12. & 8. 7. &: 10. 14.
So *I returned, and considered all the
'= oppressions that are done under the
sun: and behold, the tears of such as
were oppressed, and they had '^no com-
forter; and on the 'side of their oppres-
sors there was power; but they had "=no
comforter. Wherefore ''I praised the 2
dead which are ^already dead more than
the living which are fyet alive. Yea, 3
better is lie than both they, ''e which hath
not fyet been, who hath not seen the
evil work that is done under the sun.
Again, I considered all travail, and 4
'every right work, that 'for this a man
>is envied of his neighbour. This is also
J vanity and vexation of spirit. The fool 5
''foldeth his hands together, and 'eateth
his own flesh. ""Better is a handful 7i'ith 6
"quietness, than both the hands full 7inth
travail and J vexation of spirit.
Then °I returned, and I saw vanity 7
Prov. 29, 9. ch. 6. 5. & 9. I ;
20. *" See Prov. 15. 16.
Over. I. ch. 9. ii.
8 under the sun. I'here is one alone, and
there is not a second; yea, he hath nei-
ther child nor brother: yet is there no
end of all his labour; neither is his Peye
satisfied with riches; neither ^saith he,
■■For whom do I labour, and bereave
my soul of good? This is also vanity,
9 yea, it is a sore 'travail. Two art* bet-
ter than one ; because they have a good
10 reward for their labour. F"or if they fall,
the one will lift up his fellow: but 'woe
to him that is alone when he falleth ; for
he hath not another to help him up.
11 Again, if two lie together, then they
have heat: but "how can one be warm
iiahnte? And if one •''prevail against him,
two shall withstand him; and a vthree-
fold cord is not quickly broken.
15 ^Better is a ^poor and a wise child
than an old and ''foolish king, 'who will
14 no more be "^admonished. "'For out of
''prison he cometh to reign; ^whereas
also he that is bom in his kingdom be-
15 cometh poor. I considered all the liv-
ing which walk under the sun, swith the
second child that shall stand uj> in his
16 stead. There is no end of all the peo-
ple, ez'e/i of all that have been before
them: ''they also that come after shall
not rejoice in him. Surely this also is
'vanity and vexation of spirit.
^Keep thy foot when thou goest to
^^the house of God, and iv more ready
to hear, ''than to give the sacrifice of
fools : for they consider not that they do
2 evil. "^Be not rash with thy mouth, and
let not thine heart be hasty to utter any
"thing before God: for God is in heaven,
and thou upon earth: therefore let thy
3 words be ""few. For a dream cometh
through the multitude of ^business; and
a fool's voice is known '^by multitude of
4 words. sWhen thou vowest a vow unto
God, ''defer not to pay it; for he hath
no 'pleasure in fools: pay that which
5 thou hast vowed. Better is it that thou
shouldest not vow, than that thou should-
6 est vow and not pay. J Suffer not thy
mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither
say thou before ''the angel, that it 7s.'as
'an error: wherefore should God be an-
gry at thy voice, and destroy the work

Moreover ''the profit of the earth is 9
for all: the king himself h served by the
field. He that loveth silver shall not 10
be satisfied jcith silver; nor he that lov-
eth ^abundance 7oith increase : this is
also vanity. When goods increase, they n
are increased that eat them : and what
■good is there to "the owners thereof,
saving the beholding of them with their
eyes? The sleep of a labouring man is 12
sweet, w-hether he eat little or much:
but the abundance of the rich will not
suffer him to sleep.
* There is >'a sore evil 7i'hich I have 13
seen under the sun, namely, riches kept
for "the owners thereof to their hurt.
But those riches perish by evil ^travail: 14
and he begetteth a son, and there is
nothing in his hand. ^As he came forth 15
of his mother's womb, naked shall he
return to go as he came, and shall take
nothing of his labour, which he may
carry away in his hand. And this also 16
is >a sore evil, that in all points as he
came, so shall he go: and ''what profit
hath he that hath >= laboured for the
wind? All his days also ''he eateth in 17
darkness, and he hath much sorrow and
wrath with his sickness.
Behold that which I have seen: ''it is is
good and comely for one to eat and to
drink, and to fenjoy the good of all his
labour that he taketh under the sun 'all
the days of his life, which God giveth
him: for sit is his portion. Every man 19
also '^to whom God hath given riches
and 'wealth, and hath given him power
to eat thereof, and to take his portion,
and to rejoice in his labour; ''this is the
gift of God. ' For he shall not much 20
remember the days of his life; because
God answereth him in the joy of his
heart.
^ There is an evil which I have seen
under the sun, and it is common among
men: a man '■to whom '^God hath given 2
'^riches, ''wealth, and "^honour, so that
he wanteth nothing for his soul of all
that he desireth, yet God ''giveth him
not power to eat thereof, but a stranger
eateth it: this is vanity, and it is an
evil disease. If a man beget an hun- 3
dred children, and live many years, so
that "^the days of his years be many,
and '^his soul be not filled with good,
and also ^ that he have no burial; I say,
that San untimely birth is better than
4 he. For he cometh in with \anity, and
departeth in darkness, and ''his name
5 shall be covered with darkness. More-
over he hath not seen the sun, nor
known any thing: this hath more ' rest

of my vanity: *^ there is a just man that
perisheth in his righteousness, and there
is a wicked man that prolongeth ^ his
life in his wickedness. Be not right- 16
eous over much; "= neither make thyself
^over wise: why shouldest thou 'destroy
thyself? Be not over much wicked, 17
neither be thou foolish: swhy shouldest
thou die ' before thy time ? // is good 18
that thou shouldest take hold of ''this;
yea, also from ' this ''withdraw not thine
hand: for he that feareth God shall
come forth of them all. ' Wisdom 19
strengtheneth the wise more than ten
■" mighty men which are in the city.
"For there is not a just man upon earth, 20
that doeth good, and " sinneth not.
Also 'otake no heed unto all words 21
that are spoken; lest thou hear Pthy
servant curse thee : "for oftentimes also 22
thine own heart knoweth that thou thy-
self likewise hast cursed others.
All this have I proved by wisdom : 23

from me. That which is far off, and 24

Who is as the wise 7nan ? and who
knoweth the interpretation of a thing?
^a. man's wisdom ''maketh his face to
shine, and * the boldness of his face
2 shall be changed. I counsel thee to
keep the king's commandment, and that
i^'in regard of ''the oath of God. "^Be
not hasty ^to go out of his sight : sstand
not in an evil thing; for he doeth what-
4 soever pleaseth him. Where the word
of a king is, there is ''power: and 'who
may say unto him. What doest thou ?
5 Whoso keepeth the commandment 'shall
feel no evil thing : and a wise tnan's
heart discerneth both time and Jjudg-
ment.
6 Because "^to every purpose there is
time and J judgment, therefore the misery
7 of man is great upon him. For ' he
knoweth not that which shall be: for
"'who can tell him 'when it shall be?
8 There is no man that hath " power
over the spirit °to retain the spirit;
neither hath he •> power in the day
of death: and there is no 'p discharge
in that war ; neither shall wickedness
deliver i those that are given to it.
9 All this have I seen, and applied my
heart unto every work that is done
under the sun: there is a time wherein
one man ruleth over another to his
10 own hurt. And ''so I saw the wicked
buried, who had come and gone from
nhe place of the holy, and 'they were
forgotten in the city where they had so
done : this is also vanity.
11 " Because sentence against an evil
work is not executed speedily, there-
fore the heart of the sons of men "is
12 fully set in them to do evil. Though
a sinner do evil an hundred times,
and >his ^^dajs be prolonged, yet
surely I know that ='it shall be well
''with them that fear God, which fear
13 before him: but it •"= shall not be well

dow; because he feareth not before
God.
There is a vanity which is done 14
upon the earth ; that there be just
men, =unto whom it happeneth accord-
ing to the work of the wicked ; again,
there be wicked men, ^ to whom it hap-
peneth according to the work of the
righteous : I said that this also is vanity.
Then I commended mirth, because ?a 15
man hath no better thing under the sun,
than to eat, and to drink, and to be
merry: for that shall "^ abide with him of
Tiis labour the days of his life, which
God giveth him under the sun.
AVhen I applied mine heart to know 16
wisdom, and to see the 'business that is
done upon the earth : (for also there is
that neither day nor night seeth sleep
with his eyes:) then I beheld all the 17
work of God, that ''^a man cannot find
out the work that is done under the
sun : because though a man labour to
seek it out, yet he shall not find //; yea
further, though a wise man think to
know it, 'yet shall he not be able to find
For all this *I considered in my heart
even to =■ declare all this, "^that the right-
eous, and the wise, and their works, are
in the hand of God: '^no man knoweth
either love or hatred by all that is before
them. '^All things come alike to all: 2
there is "^one event to the righteous, and
to the wicked; to the good and to the
clean, and to the unclean ; to him that
sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth
not: as is the good, so is the sinner;
and fhe that sweareth, as he that feareth
an oath. This is an evil among all 3
things that are done under the sun, that
there is '^one event unto all: yea, also
the heart of the sons of men is full of
evil, and e madness is in their heart
while they live, and after that they go to
the dead. For to him that is joined to 4
all the living there is hope : for a living
dog is better than a dead lion. For the s
living know that they shall die : but "^ the
dead know not any thing, neither have
they any more a reward; for 'the memory
of them is forgotten. Also their love, 6
and their hatred, and their envy, is ''now
perished; neither have they any more a
portion for ever in any thing that is
done under the sun.
7 Go thy way, 'eat thy bread with joy,
and drink thy wine with a merry heart;
"for God ''now accepteth thy works.
8 Let "thy garments be always white; and
9°let thy head lack no ointment. 'Live
joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest
all the days of the life of thy vanity,
Pwhich he hath given thee under the
sun, all the days of thy vanity: ifor that
is thy portion in this life, and in thy la-
bour which thou takest under the sun.
10 Whatsoever ■'thy hand findeth to do,
'do // with thy might; for there is no
work, nor 'device, nor knowledge, nor
wisdom, in the grave, whither thou
goest.
11 I "returned, and saw under the sun,
that •''the race is not to the swift, nor
>'the battle to the strong, neither yet
bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men
of understanding, nor yet ^favour to
men of skill; but time and ''chance
12 ''happeneth to them all. For "^man also
knoweth not his time: as the fishes that
are taken in an evil "^net, and as 'the
birds that are caught in the snare; so
are the sons of men ^snared in an evil
time, when it falleth suddenly upon
them.
13 This wisdom have I seen also under
the sun, and it seemed great unto me:
14 there was a little city, and few men
within it; and there came a great king
against it, and sbesieged it, and built
15 great ''bulwarks against it: now there
was found in it a 'poor wise man, and
he ''by his wsdom delivered the city;
yet no man remembered that same 'poor
16 man. Then said I, 'Wisdom is better
than strength: nevertheless ""the 'poor
W(z;/'s wisdom is despised, and his words
17 are not heard. The words of wise men
are heard in "quiet, more than the cr)' of
18 him that ruleth among fools. 'Wisdom
is better than weapons of war: but "one
sinner destroyeth much good.

THE SONG OF SOLOMON.
THE ^song '^of songs, which is So-
lomon's.
Let him kiss me with "^the kisses of =
his mouth :
For '''thy love is better than wine.
Because of the savour of thy good 3
ointments
Thy "^name is as ointment poured
forth,
Therefore do the virgins love thee.
fDraw me, swe will run after thee: ^
•"The king hath brought me i/ifi> his
'chambers:
JWe will be glad and rejoice in thee,
We will remember ''thy love more
than wine :
'The upright love thee.
I am black, but •'comely, 'O ye :
daughters of Jerusalem,
As ""the tents of "Kedar, as the cur-
tains of Solomon.
Look not upon me, because I am 1
black.
Because the sun liath "looked upon me:
My mother's children were angry with
me J
They made me Pthe keeper of the
vineyards ;
Bui Inline own vineyard have I not
kept.
Tell me, O thou iiwhom my soul
loveth,
Where thou feedest, where thou mak-
est ^thy floclz to rest at noon:
For why .should I be "as one that
turneth aside by the flocks of '^thy
companions?
If thou know not, 'O thou fairest
among women.
Go thy way forth by the footsteps of
the flock.
And feed thy kids beside the shep-
herds' tents.
I have compared thee, "O my love.
To a company of -"'horses in Pha-
raoh's chariots.
>Thy cheeks are comely with ^rows
ofje^vcls,
Thy neck with chains of gold.
We will make thee "borders of gold
^Vith studs of silver.
While "the king sittcth at his table.
My •'spikenard sendeth forth the
smell thereof
A bundle of •= myrrh is my well-be-
loved unto me;
He shall lie all night betwixt my
breasts.
My beloved is unto me as a '•cluster
of "camphire
In the vineyards of i^En-gedi.
fBehold, thou art fair, 'my love; be-
hold, thou art fair;
fsThou hast doves' eyes.
Behold, thou ati fair, my beloved,
yea, pleasant :
Also our bed is green.
The •'beams of 'our house (7/-^J cedar,
And oViX 'rafters of J fir.
I am the ^rose of •'Sharon,
And the '^lily of the valleys.
As the "^lily among thorns,
So is '•my love among the daughters.
As the •= apple tree among the trees of
the wood.
So is my beloved among the sons.
•I sat down f under his shadow with
great delight.
And Shis fruit was sweet to my 'taste.
•'He brought me to the 'banqueting
house.
And his banner over me was love.
'Stay me with J flagons, 'comfort me
with '= apples:
For • I am sick of love.

For '"love is strong as death;

Many waters cannot quench love,
Neither can the floods drown it :
'If a man would give all the substance
of his house for love,
It would utterly be contemned.
We have a little sister, and 'she hath
no breasts :
What shall we do for our sister in the
day when she shall be spoken for?

And shall be exalted above the hills ;
And "fall nations shall flow unto it.
; And many people shall go and say,
sCome ye, and let us go up to the
mountain of the Lord,
To the house of the God of Jacob;
And he will ''teach us of his ways,
And we will walk in his paths :
For 'out of Zion shall go forth the
law.
And ''the word of the Lord from Je-
rusalem.
4 And he shall judge among the nations.
And shall rebuke many people :
And 1^ they shall beat their swords into
'plowshares,
''And their spears into """pruning-
hooks :
Nation shall not lift up sword against
nation,
"Neither shall they learn war any more.
5 O house of Jacob, come ye.
And let us °walk in the light of the
Lord.
5 Therefore thou hast forsaken thy peo-
ple the house of Jacob,
Because they be replenished "Pfrom
the east.
And are isoothsayers ''like the Phi-
listines,
And they '* please themselves in the
children of strangers.
7 Their land also is 'full of silver and
gold.
Neither is there any end of their trea-
sures ;
Their land is also "full </ horses.
Neither is there any end of their cha
riots :

Now will I sing to ^ my wellbeloved
''a song of my beloved touching
<^ his vineyard.
=■ My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in
* a very fruitful hill :
And '' he " fenced it, and " gathered =
out the stones thereof,
And ''planted it tci/A ""the choicest
vine,
And '' built a tower in the midst of it,
And ''also *made sa winepress therein :
And ''he looked that i( should bring
forth grapes.
And it brought forth wild grapes.
And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, 3
and men of Judah,
Judge, I pray you, betwixt me and
my vineyard.
What could have been done more to 4
my vineyard,
That I have not done in it ?
Wherefore, •'when I looked that i(
should bring forth grapes.
Brought it forth wild grapes ?
And now go to, I will tell you what 5
I ?£'/// do to my vineyard :
I wi// take away ' the hedge thereof,
and J it shall be eaten up ;
And ''break down the wall thereof,
and it shall be * trodden down :
And I will lay it waste : 6
It shall not be pruned, nor digged ;
But there shall come up ' briers and
thorns :
I will also command the clouds that
they rain no rain upon it.
For ■" the vineyard of the Lord of 7
hosts is the house of Israel,
And the men of Judah ' his pleasant
plant :
And he looked for judgment, but be-
hold ' oppression ;
For righteousness, but behold a cry.
Woe unto them that join " house to 8
house,
T/iaf lay "field to field, till f/iar be no
place.
That ' they may be placed alone in
the midst of the earth !
' In mine ears said the Lord of hosts, 9
' Of a truth many houses shall be de-
solate.
Even great and fair, without inha-
bitant.
Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield 10
one P bath.
And "i the seed of p a homer shall
yield p an ephah.
■■ Woe unto them that rise up early in
the morning, that they may follow
strong drink ;
'^ That continue until night, til/ wine
' ' inflame them !
And ""the harp, and ""the viol, the
""^ytabret, and ">pipe.
And wine, are in their feasts :
But ^ they regard not ^ the work of
the Lord,
^ Neither ^ consider '^ the operation of
his hands.
Therefore my people are gone into
captivity, ■= because i/iey have no
knowledge :
And ' their honourable men are fa-
mished,
And their multitude dried up with
thirst.
Therefore '' hell hath enlarged herself,
And ^ opened "^her mouth without
measure :
^\nd their glory, and "^their multitude,
and their spomp.
And ffhe that rejoiceth, shall descend
into it.
And ''the mean man shall be brought
down,
And the mighty man shall be humbled,
And the eyes of the lofty shall be
humbled :
But ' the Lord of hosts shall be ex-
alted in judgment.
And ''God that is holy shall be sanc-
tified in righteousness.
Then shall the lambs feed after J their
manner,
And the waste places of ''the fat ones
shall ' strangers eat.
Woe unto them that draw iniquity
with cords of vanity,
And ■" sin as it were with a cart rope :
" That say, Let him make speed, and
hasten his work.
That we may see it:
And let the counsel of the Holy One
of Israel draw nigh and come.
That we may know //.
Woe unto them ' that call evil good,
and good evil ;
"That put darkness for light, and
light for darkness ;
That put bitter for sweet, and sweet
for bitter !
Woe unto them that are Pwise in their
own eyes.
And prudent ' in their own sight

And it came to pass in the days of
*Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of
Uzziah king of Judah, that ^ Rezin the
king of Syria, and ^Pekah the son of
Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to-
wards Jerusalem to war against it, but
could not prevail against it. And it 2
was told the house of David, saying,
Syria ' is confederate with Ephraim.
And his heart was moved, and the heart
of his people, as the trees of the wood
are moved with the wind. Then said 3
the Lord unto Isaiah, Go forth now
to meet Ahaz, thou, and ' Shear-jashub
thy son, at the end of ^ the conduit of
<= the upper pool in the " ^highway of
the fuller's field ; and say unto him, 4
Take heed, and be quiet ;
Fear not, * neither be fainthearted
For the two tails of these smoking
f firebrands.
For the fierce anger of Rezin with
Syria, and of '^the son of Remali.ah.
Because SjTia, Ephraim, and "^ the s
son of Remaliah,
Have taken evil counsel against thee,
saying.
Let us go up against Judah, and ' vex it, 6
And let us make a breach therein
for us.
And set a king in the midst of it, r^n
the son of Tabeal :
Thus saith the Lord God, 7
' It shall not stand, neither shall it
come to pass.
For ''the head of Syria is 'Damascus, s
And "the head of Damascus is Rezin;
And ""within threescore and five years
shall Ephraim be broken, ' that //
be not a people.
And the head of Ephraim is "Samaria, 9

The Lord sent a word into Jacob,
And it hath lighted upon Israel.
And all the people shall ''know,

''Samaria,
That say in the pride and stoutness of
heart,
The bricks are fallen down, but we
will build with hewn stones :
'The sycomores are cut down, but we
will ""change them info cedars.
Therefore the Lord shall "set up the
adversaries of "Rezin against him,
And 'join his enemies together ;
PThe Syrians before, and "ithe Philis-
tines behind ;
And they shall devour Israel 'with
open mouth.
"■For all this his anger is not turned
away.
But his hand is stretched out still.
For nhe people turneth not unto him
that smiteth them,
Neither do they seek the Lord of
hosts.
Therefore the Lord will cut off from
Israel 'head and tail,
•"Branch and ''rush, "/// one day.
The ancient and >' honourable, he is
the head ;
And ^the prophet that teacheth lies,
he is the tail.
For ' •'' the leaders of this people ^ cause
them to err ;
And ^'^they that are led of them are
'^destroyed.
Therefore ''the Lord shall have no joy
in their young men,
Neither shall have mercy on their
fatherless and widows :
For every one is "^a hypocrite and an
evildoer.
And every mouth speaketh ''='^folly.
'' For all this his anger is not turned

And they shall seek to the idols, and

And to ethem that have familiar

And the Egyptians will I "give over 4
into the hand of ''a cruel lord;
And ""a fierce king shall rule over

And the waters shall Jfail from ''the 5

And 'the river ""shall be wasted and

And they shall turn the rivers far 6
away;
Atid " the brooks of defence shall be
emptied and dried up:
The reeds and "flags shall Pwither.
The paper reeds by the brooks, by 7
the mouth of the brooks.
And every thing sown by the brooks,
Shall wither, PPbe driven away, 'and
be no more.
iThe fishers also shall mourn, 8
And all they that cast ''angle into the

And they that spread nets upon the

Moreover they that work in 'fine r

And they that weave "networks, shall

And they shall be broken in the 'pur- 10

All that make sluces and ponds 'for

"The son of ancient kings?

in every work thereof,
^As a drunken man ^staggereth in his

Neither shall there be any work for
Egypt,
Which ''the head or tail, ^'branch or
rush, may do.
•^In that day shall Egypt ''be like
unto women :
And it shall be afraid and fear
Because of =the shaking of the hand
of the Lord of hosts,
<= Which he shaketh over it.
And the land of Judah shall be a ter-
ror unto Egypt,
Every one that maketh mention there-
of shall be afraid in himself.
Because of the counsel of the Lord
of hosts.
Which he hath determined against
it.
■^In that day shall ""five cities in the

BSpeak 'the language of Canaan,

'^In that day shall there be ''an altar

And it shall come to pass in that day, 2,
That I will call my servant '^'Eliakim
the son of Hilkiah :
And ^ I will clothe him with thy robe, 2
And strengthen him 7L'/f/i thy girdle.
And ^I will commit thy government
into his hand :
And he shall be 'a father to the in-
habitants of Jerusalem,
And to the house of Judah.
And " the key of the house of David 2
will I lay ''upon his shoulder;
So "'he shall open, and none shall
shut;
And ^he shall shut, and none shall
open.
And I will fasten him as "a, nail in a 2
sure place;
And he shall be yfor a glorious throne
to his father's house.
And they shall hang upon him all 2,
the glory of his father's house,
^The oflspring and the issue.
All vessels of small quantity.
From the vessels of ^ cups, even to all
the 'vessels of ''flagons.
In that day, saith the Lord of hosts, 2
Shall <=the nail that is fastened in the
sure place be removed.
And be "^cut down, and fall ;
And the « burden that was upon it
shall be cut off:
Tor the Lord hath spoken //.
The •''burden of ''Tyre.
■^Howl, ye ships of Tarshish;
For it is laid waste, ''so that f/iere is
no house, ''no entering in :
From the land of <=Chittim it is re-
vealed to them.
Be 'fstill, Eye inhabitants of the isle;
Thou whom the merchants of ''Zidon,
that pass over the sea, have re-
plenished.
And by great waters the seed of
'Sihor,
The harvest of the river, is her re-
venue ;
And ''she is a mart of nations.
Be thou ashamed, O ''Zidon : for the
sea hath spoken,
£re'i the strength of the sea, say-
ing,
I travail not, nor bring forth children,
Neither do I 'nourish up young men,
fior 'bring up virgins.
As af the report concerning Egypt,
So shall they be sorely pained ai the
report of Tyre.
Pass ye over to "^Tarshish ; howl, eye
inhabitants of the isle.
Is this your "'joyous cify, whose an-
tiquity is of "ancient days?
Her own feet shall carry her * afar off
to sojourn.
Who hath taken this counsel against
Tyre, the crowning dfy,
Whose merchants an- princes, whose
""trafiickers are the honourable of
the earth ?
The Lord of hosts hath purposed it,
'To stain the pride of all "glory,
A;id to Pbring into contempt all the
honourable of the earth.
Pass through thy land as ia river,
O daughter of "^Tarshish :
T/icTe is no more '"'strength.
He stretched out his hand over the
sea, *^he shook the kingdoms :
The Lord hath given a command-
ment 'against 'the merchant ci/j,
to destroy the 'strong holds there-
of.
And he said. Thou shall no more
rejoice,
O thou oppressed virgin, daughter of
Zidon :
Arise, pass over (0 ^Chittim ;
There also shalt thou have no rest.
Behold the land of 'the Chaldeans;
This people was not,
Ti// the Assyrian founded it for
"them that dwell in the wilderness:
They set up the 'towers thereof.
They raised up the palaces thereof;
And he brought it '' to ruin.
"^Howl, ye ships of Tarshish : for your
strength is laid waste.
And it shall come to pass in that
day.
That Tyre shall be forgotten "seventy
years,
According to the days of "•''one king :
>' After the end of seventy years '>' shall
Tyre sing as a harlot.
^Take a harp, go about the city, thou
harlot that hast been forgotten ;
^Make sweet melody, sing many
songs, that thou ma)'est be remem-
bered.
And it shall come to pass Rafter the
end of seventy years,
T/iai the Lord will ^"^ visit Tyre,
And yshe shall turn to her hire.
And ''shall commit fornication with
all the kingdoms of the world
Upon the face of the earth.

Is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs;

We have not wrought any deliverance

Neither have ''the inhabitants of the

Come, my people, ^"enter thou into

To ''punish the inhabitants of the

near we with their mouth.
And with their lips do s honour
me.
But have removed their heart
far from me,
And their fear towards me is
taught ij '^the precept of men:
' Therefore, behold, ' I will proceed
to do a marvellous work amongst

For J t h e wisdom of their wise
men shall perish.
And the understanding of their
prudent men shall be hid.
Woe unto ^ them that seek deep to
hide t/ieir counsel from the Lord,
And their works are in the dark,
And ' they say. Who seeth us ? and
who knoweth us ?
Surely your turning 0/ lliings ujiside
down shall be esteemed as the pot-
ter's clay :
For ■" shall the work say of him that
made it. He made me not ?
Or shall "the thing framed say of
him that framed it, He had no un-
derstanding ?
Is it not " yet a very little while.
And P Lebanon shall be turned into
a fruitful field,
lAnd the fruitful field shall be es-
teemed as a forest ?
And ''in that day = shall the deaf
hear the words of the book,
.\nd the eyes of the blind shall see
out of obscurity, and out of dark-
ness.
' The meek also ' shall increase l/ieir
joy in the Lord,
And " the poor among men shall re-
joice in the Holy One of Israel.
For ''the terrible one "'is brought
to nought, and the •" scorner * is
consumed.
And all that watch for iniquity are
cut off":
That make a man an offender for a
word,
And lay a snare for vhim that rc-
proveth in the gate.
And ^ turn aside the just " for a thing

Woe to ^the rebellious children, saith
the Lord,
^ That take counsel, but not of me ;
And that ■= cover with a covering, but
not of my Spirit,
'' That they may add sin to sin :
That walk "= to go down into Eg)'pt,
And have not f asked at my mouth ;
To strengthen themselves in the
strength of Pharaoh,
And to trust in s the shadow of
Egypt.
Therefore shall the strength of Pha-
raoh be your shame.
And ''the trust in sthe shadow of
Egypt your confusion.
For his princes were at ' Zoan,
And J his ambassadors came to ''Hanes.
'They were all ashamed of ""a people
that could not profit them.
Nor be a help nor profit,
But a shame, and also a reproach.
"The burden of "the beasts of the
south ;
Into the land of p trouble and p an-
guish,
■i From whence come the young and
■■ old lion,
^'The viper and ■"'"fiery flying serpent,
^ They will carry their riches upon
the shoulders of ""young asses,
And ^ their treasures upon the bunches
of camels.
To ■" a people that shall not profit ///rw.
For *> the Egyptians shall help in vain,
and to no purpose :
Therefore have I cried " concerning
this, Their ^ strength is to sit still.
Now go, y write it before them in
a table.
And ^ note it in a book,
That it may be for 'the time to come
For ever and ever :
That ^ this is a rebellious people,
lying children.
Children that will not hear the law of
the Lord :
"Which say to the '' seers. See not ;
And to the prophets, <: Prophesy not
unto us right things,
^ Speak unto us smooth things,
Prophesy deceits :
Get ye out of the way,
Turn aside out of the path.
Cause the Holy One of Israel to
cease from before us.
Wherefore thus saith the Holy One
of Israel,
Because ye despise this word.
And trust in 'oppression and <=per-
verseness.
And stay thereon :
Therefore this iniquity shall be to
you fas a breach ready to fall,
Swelling out in a high wall,
s Whose breaking cometh si^suddenly
at an instant.
And ' he shall break it as the break-
ing of ' the potters' vessel
That is broken in pieces ; '' he shall
not spare :
So that there shall not be found in
the bursting of it '^'^a sheard
' To take fire from the hearth,
Or to take water zaithal out of
""the pit.
For thus saith the Lord God, the
Holy One of Israel ;
In returning and " rest shall ye be
saved ;
° In quietness and in confidence shall
be your strength :
P And ye would not.
But ye said, No; for iwe will flee
upon horses ;
Therefore shall ye flee :
And, 1 We will ride upon ■" the swift ;
Therefore shall they that pursue you
be swift.
^One thousand shall flee at the rebuke
of one ;
At the rebuke of five shall ye flee :
Till ye be left as " a beacon ujjon the
top of a mountain.
And as " an ensign on a hill.
And "therefore will the Lord wait,
that he may be gracious unto you,
And therefore ^will he be exalted,
that he may have mercy upon you :
For the Lord is a God of judgment :
" Blessed arc all they that wait for him.

Now it came to pass "in the fourteenth

king of Assyria came up against all the
defenced cities of Judah, and took them.

keh from Lachish to Jerusalem unto
king Hezekiah with a great anny. And
he stood by the conduit of the upper
pool in the highway of the fuller's field.
3 Then came forth unto him Eliakim,
Hilkiah's son, 'which was over the
house, and 'Shebna the 'scribe, and
4 Joah, Asaph's son, the recorder. And
Rabshakeh said unto them. Say ye now
to Hezekiah, Thus saith ''the great king,

now come up without the Lord against

unto me, Go up against this land, and

Then said Eliakim and Shebna and n
Joah unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray
thee, unto thy servants in the Syrian
language; for we understand it: and
speak not to us in the Jews' language,
in the ears of the people that ai'e on the
wall. But Rabshakeh said, Hath my 12
master sent me to thy master and to
thee to speak these words? hat/i he not
sent me to the men that sit upon the
wall, that t/icy may eat their own dung,
and drink their own piss with you?
Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with 13
a loud voice in the Jews' language, and
said, Hear ye the words of ''the great
king, the king of Assyria. Thus saith m
the king. Let not Hezekiah deceive you:
for he shall not be able to deliver you.
Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in 15
the Lord, saying. The Lord will surely
deliver us: this city shall not be de-
livered into the hand of the king of
Assyria. Hearken not to Hezekiah: for 16
thus saith the king of Assyria, "Make
an agreement with me l>y a present, and
come out to me : and eat ye every one
(7/his vine, and every one of\\\s fig tree,
and drink ye every one the waters of
his own cistern; suntil I come and take 17
' you away to a land like your own land, a
land of corn and wine, a land of bread
and vineyards. Bauare lest Hezekiah is
persuade you, •'saying. The Lord will
deliver us. Hath any of the gods of the
nations delivered his land out of the
hand of the king of Assyria? Where 19
are the gods of Hamath and Arphad?
where are the gods of Sepharvaim? and
iSccch. 7. g. have they delivered 'Samaria out of my

and answered him not a word: for the

son of Hilkiah, that was over the house-
hold, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah,
the son of Asaph, the recorder, to Heze-
kiah with their clothes rent, and told
him the words of Rabshakeh.
And it came to pass, when king Heze- XXXVII.
kiah heard it, that he rent his clothes,
and covered himself with sackcloth, and
2 went into the house of the Lord. And
he sent Eliakim, who was over the
household, and Shebna the scribe, and
the elders of the priests covered with
sackcloth, unto ^Isaiah the prophet the " ver. 21.
3 son of Amoz. And they said unto
him. Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is
''a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and '>Soch. 22.5.
of "blasphemy: for '=the children are'Or./ro-
come to ''the birth, and there is not cseech.is.s.

wherefore lift up thy prayer for ^^ the "''' ver. 32.
5 remnant that is 'left. So the servants tHeb./o««rf.
6 of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah. And
Isaiah said unto them. Thus shall ye say
unto your master. Thus saith the Lord,
Be not afraid of the words that thou

8 So Rabshakeh returned, and found
the king of Assyria warring against Lib-
nah: for he had heard that he was
9 departed from Lachish. And Hie heard 'ch. 20. 5.
say concerning Tirhakah king of Ethio-
pia, He is come forth to make war with

And Hezekiah received the letter from 14
the hand of the messengers, and read
it: and Hezekiah went up wito the
house of the Lord, and spread it before
the Lord. And Hezekiah prayed unto 15
the Lord, saying, O Lord of hosts, 16
God of Israel, that dwellest between the
cherubims, thou art the God, even thou
alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth :
''thou hast made heaven and earth. 'In- 17
cline thine ear, O Lord, and hear; open
thine eyes, O Lord, and see : and hear
all the words of Sennacherib, which hath
sent to reproach the living God. Of a i3
truth. Lord, the kings of Assyria have
laid waste all the 'nations, and their
countries, and have *cast their gods 19
into the fire: for they were no gods,
but the work of men's hands, wood and
stone : therefore they have destroyed
them. Now therefore, O Lord our God, 20
save us from his hand, J that all the king-
doms of the earth may know that thou
art the Lord, ami thou only.
Then ''Isaiah the son of Amoz sent 21

of Assyria: this is the word which the 22

despised thee, and laughed thee to

Whom hast thou reproached and bias- 23

And against whom hast thou exalted

And lifted up thine eyes on high?
Even against the Holy One of Israel.
'By thy servants hast thou reproached 24

early in the morning, behold, they were

of Assyria departed, and 'went and
returned, and dwelt at Nineveh. And 33
it came to pass, as he was worshipping
ill the house of Nisroch his god, that
Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons
smote him with the sword; and they
escaped into the land of 'Armenia: and
Esar-haddon his son reigned in his stead.
=> In those days was Hezekiah sick unto
death. And ''Isaiah the prophet the son
of Amoz came unto him, and said unto
him,Thus saith theLoRD,'Setthinehouse
in order : for thou shall die, and not live.
Then Hezekiah turned his face toward :
the wall, and 'Sprayed unto the Lord,
and said. Remember now, O Lord, I ;
beseech thee, how I have walked before
thee in truth and with a perfect heart,
and have done that which is good in thy
sight. And Hezekiah wept 'sore. Then ,
came the word of the Lord to Isaiah,
saying. Go and say to Hezekiah, Thus 5
saith the Lord, the God of David thy
father, I have heard thy prayer, I have
seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto
thy days fifteen years. And I will de- 6
liver thee and this city out of the hand
of the king of Assyria: and <^I will de-
fend this city. And this shall be a sign 7
unto thee from the Lord, that the Lord
will do this thing that he hath spoken;
«^ behold, I will bring again the shadow s
of the degrees, which is gone down in
the 'sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees back-
ward. So the sun returned ten degrees,
by which degrees it was gone down.

Judah, when he had been sick, and was
recovered of his sickness:

And\\& that smootheth with the ham-
mer " him that smote the anvil,
■ Saying, It is ready for the sodering :
And he fastened it with nails, ^that it

But thou, 1 1srael, art ^ my servant, 8
Jacob "whom I have chosen.
The seed of '^Abraham my friend.
Thou whom I have taken from the 9

Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not 12

tended with thee :
* They that war against thee shall
be ^as nothing, and ^as a thing

'^ For I beheld, and there was no man; 23
Even amongst them, and there toas no
counseller.
That, when I asked of them, could
' answer a word
' Behold, they are all vanity ; their 29
works are '" nothing :
Their molten images are wind and
confusion.
^Behold •"=my servant, whom I
uphold ;
<^Mine elect, in whom ''my soul
delighteth ;
"= I have put my spirit upon him :
He shall bring forth judgment
to the Gentiles.
He shall not cry, nor lift up, 2
Nor cause his voice to be heard
in the street.
A fbruised reed shall he not 3
break,
And the 'smoking flax shall he
not 'quench :
He shall bring forth judgment
unto truth.
He shall not fail nor be 'discouraged, 4
Till he have set judgment in the
earth :
s And the isles shall wait for his law.
Thus saith God the Lord, 5
He that created the heavens, and
^ ' stretched them out ;
■'■'He that spread forth the earth,
and ' that which cometh out of it ;
'">He that giveth breath unto the
people upon it.
And " spirit to them that walk
therein :
I the Lord ha^'e called thee in right- c
eousness,
And "will hold thine hand, and will
keep thee.
And Pgive thee for a covenant of the
people, 'ifor a light of the Gentiles;
"■ To open the blind eyes, ,
To * bring out the prisoners from the
prison.
And ' them that sit in darkness out
of the prison house.
I am the Lord : that is my name : e
"And my glory will I not give to
^another.
Neither my praise to graven images.
Behold, '^ the former things are come s
to pass.
And " new things do I declare :
Before they .sj)ring forth I tell you
of them.
y Sing unto the Lord a new song.
And his praise from the end of the
earth,
^ Ye that go down to the sea, and 'all
that is therein ;
^The isles, and the inhabitants thereof.
'' Let the wilderness and the cities
thereof "^ lift up their voiee,
The villages that ^ Kedar doth in-
habit :
Let the inhabitants of tiie rock sing.
Let them shout from the top of the
mountains.
Let them ■= give glory unto the Lord,
And " declare his praise in " the
islands.
The Lord shall go forth ^as a mighty
man,
He shaH stir up jealousy like sa man
of war :
He shall cry, yea, •'roar;
He shall "prevail against his enemies.
I have long time holden my peace ;
I have been still, and ' refrained my-
self:
Now will I cry '^ like a travailing
woman ;
I will destroy and ' devour at once.
I will make waste mountains and hills.
And dry up all their herbs ;
And I will make the rivers ^islands,
And I will dry up the pools.
And I will bring the blind by a way
that they knew not ;
I will lead them in paths that they
have not known :
I will make darkness light before
them,
And crooked things ' straight.
These things will I do unto them,
and not forsake them.
They shall be ' turned back, ™ they
shall be greatly ashamed, that trust
in graven images.
That say to the molten images, Ye
are our gods.
" Hear, ye deaf;
And °look, ye blind, that j'f may see.
P Who is blind, but 1 my servant ?
Or deaf, as my messenger ///«/ I sent?
Who is blind as he that is perfect.
And blind as 1 the Lord's servant ?
"■Seeing many things, ^but thou ob-
servest not ;
'Opening the ears, but he heareth not.
The Lord is well pleased for his
righteousness' sake ;
He " will magnify the law, and make
' // honourable.

" T/uy are all of them snared in holes,
And they are hid in prison houses :
They are "for a prey, and none de-
livereth ;
"•iv;-" a spoil, and none saith, Restore.
Who among you will give ear to 23
this?
Who will hearken and hear * for the
time to come ?
Who gave Jacob for " a spoil, and 24
Israel to the robbers?
Did not tlie Lord, he against whom
we have sinned ?
For they would not walk in his
ways,
Neither were they obedient unto his
law.
^Therefore he hath poured upon him 25
the fury of his anger, and the
strength of battle :
And vit hath set him on fire round
about, ^ yet he knew not ;
And it burned him, yet he ^laid //
not to heart.
But now thus saith the Lord ^that

"Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord,

' The dragons and the ' ' owls :
Because ■" I give waters in the wil-

And rivers in '^ the desert,
"■To give drink to my people, my
chosen.
"This people have I formed for my- 21
self;
" They shall shew forth ^' my praise.
But thou hast not called upon me, O 22
Jacob ;
But -"^ thou hast been weary of me, O
Israel,
y Thou hast not brought me the 23
* small cattle of thy burnt offerings ;
Neither hast thou ^honoured me wUh
thy sacrifices.
I have not caused thee to serve with
an offering,
Nor ^ wearied thee with '^ incense.
Thou hast bought me no ''sweet cane 24
with money,
Neither hast thou * filled me 'luith the
fat of thy sacrifices :
But thou hast made me to serve with
thy sins,
Thou hast ^"^ wearied me with thine
iniquities.
I, even I, am he that '' blotteth out 25
thy transgressions 'for mine own
sake,
f And will not remember thy sins.
Put me in remembrance : let us plead 26
together :
Declare thou, that thou mayest be
justified.
Thy first father hath sinned, 27
And thy ' teachers have transgressed
against me.
Therefore s I have profaned the 28
' princes of the sanctuary.
And have given Jacob '"'to the curse.
And Israel to '^ ^ reproaches.
Yet now hear, ^ O Jacob my ser-
vant ;
And ^ Israel, whom I have chosen :
Thus saith the Lord *> that made 2
thee,
And ''formed thee from the womb,
which will help thee ;
"= Fear not, =■ O Jacob, my servant ;
And thou, ^ Jeshurun, " whom I have
chosen.
For •= I will pour water upon him that
is thirsty,
And floods upon the dry ground :
^1 will pour my spirit upon thy seed.
And my blessing upon thine s ofl"-
spring :
And "= they shall spring up as among
the grass,
As ''willows by 'the water courses.
One shall say, I am the Lord's ;
And another shall call himself by the
name of Jacob ;
And another shall ^ subscribe with
his hand unto the Lord,
And ' surname himself by the name of
Israel.
Thus saith the Lord the King of
Israel,
And '"his redeemer the Lord of hosts;
I " am the first, and I am the last ;
And "besides me there is no God.
And P who, as I, shall call.
And shall declare it, and set it in
order for me.
Since I "Jappointed the ancient people?
And ■■ the things that are coming,
and shall come, let them shew
unto them.
Fear ye not, neither be afraid :
^Have not I told thee 'from that
time.
And have declared // ? " ye arc even
my witnesses.
°''"Is there a God besides me?
Yea, '" there is no ' God ; I know not
any.
" They that make a graven image are
all of them vanity;
And their • delectable things shall not
profit ;
And y they are their own witnesses ;
^ They see not, nor know ; that they
may be ashamed.
Who hath formed a god, or molten a
graven image
^ That is profitable for nothing ?
Behold, all his fellows ^ shall be
ashamed :
And the workmen, they arc of men :
Let them all be gathered together,
let them stand up ;
Yet they shall fear, and they shall be
ashamed together.

° Shall the prey be taken from the 24
mighty,
Or ' the lawful captive delivered ?
But thus saith the Lord, 25
Even the ' captives of the mighty
shall be taken away,
And the prey of the terrible shall be
delivered :
For I will contend with Phim that
contendeth with thee,
And I will save thy children.
And "i I will feed them that oppress 26
thee with their own flesh ;
And ■■ they shall be drunken with
their own blood, as with ' sweet
wine :
And all flesh ^ shall know that I the
Lord am thy Saviour
And ' thy redeemer, " the mighty One
of Jacob.
Thus saith the Lord,
Where is ^ the bill of your mother's
divorcement, whom I have put
away ?
Or ''which of my creditors is it to
whom '^ I have sold you ?
Behold, ''for your iniquities ^have you
sold yourselves.
And for your transgressions is your
mother put away.
Wherefore, when I came, toas there 2
no man ?
fWhen I called, toas there none to
answer ?
s Is my hand shortened at all, that //
cannot redeem ?
Or have I no power to deliver ?
Behold, ^ at my rebuke I ' dry up
the sea,
^ I make the rivers a wilderness :
' Their fish stinketh, because there is
no water, and dieth for thirst.
™ I clothe the heavens with black- 3
ness,
And "I make sackcloth their covering.
° The Lord God hath given me the 4
tongue of P the learned,
I That / should know how to speak
a word in season to 'him that is
w eary :
He wakeneth ^ morning by moming.
He wakeneth mine ear to hear as
Pthe learned.
The Lord God 'hath opened mine
ear, 5
And " I was not rebellious.
Neither " turned away back.
I "gave my back to the smiters,
And " >■ my cheeks to ^ them that
plucked off the hair :
I hid not my face from shame and
" ^ spitting.
For the Lord God will help me ;
Therefore shall I not be confounded :
Therefore have '' I set my face like
<= a flint,
And ^ I know that I shall not be
ashamed.
"= J/e is near that justifieth me ;
fWho will contend with me? let us
stand together :
Who is *mine adversary? let him
come near to me.
Behold, the Lord God will help me ;
Who is he that shall condemn me?
Lo, s h they all shall wax old as
a garment ; s i the moth shall eat
them up.
Who is among you that feareth the
Lord,
That obeyeth the voice of his servant,
^ That walketh /// darkness, and hath
no light ?
Let him trust in the name of the Lord,
And ' stay upon his God.
Behold, all ye that kindle a fire,
that compass yourselves about with
" sparks :
Walk in "the light of your fire, and
in the sparks that ye " have kindled.
P This shall ye have of mine hand ;
Ye shall lie down 1 in sorrow.
» Hearken to me, '' ye that follow
after righteousness, ye that seek
the Lord :
"= Look unto the rock whence ye are
hewn,
And to the hole of '' the pit whence yt.
are digged.
Look unto = Abraham your fother,
And unto ''Sarah tliat bare you :
8 For I called him '' alone,
And s' blessed him, and s increased
him.
For the Lord "^ shall comfort Zion :
He will comfort all 'her waste places;
And he will make her wilderness like
"' Eden,
And her desert "like the garden of
the Lord ;
Joy and gladness shall be found
therein,
Thanksgiving, and " the voice of
melody.

For 1 a law shall proceed from me.
